  - Lots of fun, though my brother is still whining about jet lag and time differences. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:27 12
    - When we went we just pushed through that first day, went to bed an hour early and rose an hour late. That was enough. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:34 4
      - I had a 'no sleep the first day' rule and was forcing him through, but it failed miserably. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:36 3
        
        Uh, the key to pushing through the first day was to not have *time* to nap. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:39 2

        or I'm just always naturally tired. :) -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 09:33
- How is that even possible? -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:22 2
  - What about the Riffle Tower? -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:23 1

- Musts: Schwartz for smoked meat, Banquise for poutine. For fancier stuff: La Salle à manger on Le Plateau, my favorite restaurant is Ouzeri, greek on - Guigue Aug 21, 09:25 4
  - Avoid Duluth and Prince-Arthur street, they're tourist traps -- nm - Guigue Aug 21, 09:26 3
    - I've been to some decent places on Duluth - Areperia, and Au Coin Berbere. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 09:29 1
      - Duluth is okay but it's too difficult figuring out what's good and what's a crappy fake italian restaurant. - Guigue Aug 21, 09:32
    - And get away from Berri-UQAM, very few good restaurants in that area. -- nm - Guigue Aug 21, 09:28
- That's a chain, never eat at a chain, it's all from cans. If he likes smoked meat, go to Schwartz's. Go to L'Express. Go for seafood in Old Montreal. -- nm - Andie Aug 21, 09:24
- La Banquise for Poutine. L'Express for French bistro food. Schwarz's for smoked meat sandwiches. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 09:24 2
  - heh -- nm - Andie Aug 21, 09:25 1
    - I was going to mention Schwarz's too but then doubted my memory of the name -- nm - zork Aug 21, 09:27
- Why would you go to a chain that server "bayou" food in Montreal? Go to a deli for Montreal smoked meat sandwiches and Smokes for poutine -- nm - zork Aug 21, 09:21
MY BRAIN NEEDS SNACKS!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:05 13
- time to fruit it up. -- nm - Remlik Aug 21, 09:19 7
  - Nope. Zero snacking. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:22 6
    - is this for a medical reason? -- nm - Remlik Aug 21, 09:26 5
      - Nope. Habit breaking. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:28 4
        
        I should probably do something like this - znufrii Aug 21, 09:33 3
        
        Wasn;t doing that, it was more that I was eating a bunch of cheez-its the same time, every night. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:38 2
        
        ah. - znufrii Aug 21, 09:40 1
        
        Thanks. It started out as a weekend only thing. But that was not really cutting it. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:48
- You must eat, Anastasia. -- nm - David Aug 21, 09:09 2
  - Weirdly, I seem to have lost my appetite, -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:13
  - now that's a precarious comma. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 09:10
- oh, dear. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 09:06 1
  - Lunch, that is where I am a viking. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:09
I think my nose is peeling - guess I got more sun than I realized last week :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 21, 09:05 1
- sure. sun. - loosilu Aug 21, 09:11
What's the moral of the story? -- nm - zork Aug 21, 09:02
Spawn, you're right. Beaker did take over your team. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 09:02 3
- Better manager. -- nm - David Aug 21, 09:03 2
  - Did she take over pixie's? -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:05 1
    - No, that was kilbo. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 09:11
znu...as confirmation emails come in related to a trip you send it to TripIt and it synthesizes it into an interactive, concise and organized - Mel Profit Aug 21, 09:01 7
- How good is the mobile version? -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 09:09 3
  - I'm going to look at this next for my Captivate. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 21, 09:49
  - The iPhone app is what I use. It downloads everything locally so I don't use data when travelling. - spamlet Aug 21, 09:17 1
    - Thanks - I'll try it out. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 09:18
- And it's really, really accurate. - spamlet Aug 21, 09:04
- that sounds amazing, actually - znufrii Aug 21, 09:02 1
  - It pretty much can handle most emails... - Mel Profit Aug 21, 09:04
*pinches B2* -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 08:59
The past 72 hours is as aggressive as I have ever seen The Onion. -- nm - David Aug 21, 08:59 21
- they don't usually respond so quickly, do they? -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 09:03 19
  - No and Mandy is right about the snarly. It's the volume that has surprised me. - David Aug 21, 09:05 18
    - Needs more funny. I rarely say that about The Onion. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 09:27 1
      - Yeah...that one seemed to skip over the funny in it's attempt to go as far over the line as humanly possible. -- nm - Jim Aug 21, 09:31
    - the Akin 'Commentary' is also pretty brutal. Not undeserved imo, but harsh. -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 09:12 14
      - I have a self-imposed ban talking about pro-choice vs no-choice on ST. I can see it killing a lot of this board if I ramp up on it. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:21 13
        
        Why not? It's a lot of what's been discussed for three days now. -- nm - spamlet Aug 21, 09:25 10
        
        I'm taking the same position as Spawn - but I took that position a long time ago on the boards. - Epiphany Aug 21, 09:40
        
        A man's got to know his limitations. - Spawn Aug 21, 09:32
        
        I appreciate Spawn's restraint. Because the David/Stephen dust up last night - amoxy Aug 21, 09:29 7
        
        It certainly could get worse, but I thought David and Stephen were very respectful to each other. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 09:36 6
        
        I agree - it was agree to disagree with great respect shown. well done -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 09:41 3
        
        I agree, but it really accomplishes *nothing* here. I can read someone's post form the other side and even if I respect - Spawn Aug 21, 09:43 2
        
        My experience is the opposite. - Inigo Aug 21, 09:49 1
        
        I still disagree, nmbi - Spawn Aug 21, 11:20
        
        I agree...I thought that was pretty darn civil. Especially for around here. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 21, 09:40
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 09:40
        
        I'm kinda with you on this one. I have such a strong feeling on this issue that I totally can't understand the other side of the argument. - Jim Aug 21, 09:23 1
        
        the one thing I have a problem with is someone saying their decision should supercede another person's right to decide for themselves - JenBro Aug 21, 09:43
    - yep, saw that this morning. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 09:06
- I commented on this last night. they're getting *snarly.* -- nm - amanda Aug 21, 09:00
63 year old engineer may be the last ninja -- (link) - zork Aug 21, 08:59
thanks to ST, I can go to Wegman's without feeling guilty. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:58 2
- I know what you mean though. When I'm in a store and they're pulling produce off the shelf and tossing it in a box I've often - MojaveMeg Aug 21, 09:03 1
  - it's like the chickens that are getting close to their date. They sprinkle paprika and stuff on them and sell as ready to cook. -- nm - zork Aug 21, 09:22
I'm not sure if the Hoff or the horsehead is creepier in the sidebar. -- nm - spamlet Aug 21, 08:58
I'm not talking about moving in and I don't wanna change your life -- nm - David Aug 21, 08:57 2
- but there's a warm wind blowin the stars around... -- nm - Andie Aug 21, 09:00
- I'm not talking about the linen... -- nm - Jim Aug 21, 08:58
