- she is bangin' -- nm - Jovian Sep 15, 14:02

- year round or any month? - Reagen Sep 15, 13:55 1
  - [deleted]
- Bermuda -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:55
- Niagara Falls? -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 13:55 1
  - doubtful. somewhere out west probably -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 14:00
- I'm going to guess Osoyoos BC. nm - Dignan Sep 15, 13:55 3
  - According to Environment Canada it just beats out Victoria. - Reagen Sep 15, 14:02
  - that's a good guess. That or Port Alberni, BC. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:55 1
    - When I used to check the weather channel daily, I think it was Canada's hotspot three or four times per week. nm - Dignan Sep 15, 13:58
- Moose Fart Junction -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:54
- I've heard that Victoria has the "mildest" climate in canada, but I don't think that directly translates to warmest. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:54
the more entertainment options i give up, the happier i am. in the past year i have: - Guy Sep 15, 13:50 2
- Unibomber 2 -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 13:53 1

[deleted]
also, FWIW, I was leaning toward the blue and brown ruffled...errr, pleated....bed set. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:45 21
- #1? Good. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:48 1
  - Yep #1 (hey, look, the duplicate link post shows where it was originally posted now. Cool!) -- (link) - ty97 Sep 15, 13:50
- You need to think about what would girls like when you bring them back to your pad. - Loyola Sep 15, 13:47 18
  - I'm a litle concerned that all the girls liked that bed set, but the guys didn't. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:48 17
    - oh, that's simple. the girls have good taste. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:51 7
      - But if guys have bad taste in bedding, then maybe I want ugly bedding, right? - ty97 Sep 15, 13:52 6
        
        Are you sure you're gay? -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:52 5
        
        I'm willing to get ugly bedding in order to get men to sleep with me. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:58 2
        
        if you're going for straight guys that might work. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:03
        
        That's uber gay. -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 14:00
        
        Hello sir, how may I help you? - Loyola Sep 15, 13:56
        
        [deleted]
    - Plus those sets always look better when they're photo ready. Who has the time to put cushions behind pillows to make it look nice after you get up - Loyola Sep 15, 13:50
    - kid, i will slap you with my nuts. "girl". -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:49 7
      - that's not actually a threat to me. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:50 3
        
        you haven't seen my nuts. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:51 2
        
        I've never met a pair of nuts my face didn't like -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:59
        
        that makes him exceptional. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:53

Everywhere you go in Canada, it's cold. True/false? -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 13:45 15
- Depends on who you are talking to....I know of women that still complain about the cold when its 20C out :P -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 15, 13:55 1
  - I am one of those women who do not get cold like that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:56
- if you're ty97 and faint when it goes below 80, yes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:51 3
  - now, now. Temperatures down into the mid/upper 60s are humane and tolerable. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:52 2
    - bullshit, I know you've complained in that range before. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:53 1
      - about highs in that range in summer, certainly. But a low of 68 is pleasent. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:56
- Victoria was cloudy and chilly this weekend, but not cold by my standards -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 13:51
- false even churchill is hot in summer - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:50
- False, Southern Ontario gets nasty hot in the summer - J Sep 15, 13:49
- depends on the time of year -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:47
- false. It never reaches absolute zero. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:46
- oh, sure, i skiied to work today. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:46 3
  - that would be so badass. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:48 1

- How about Lady GaGa with kermits? -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 13:40 2
  - no, she is goofy as hell. - Epiphany Sep 15, 13:46 1
    - he -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:50
Oddly, I was considering a Christmas cruise this year. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 13:37
Did I tell ST? My parents dont' have passport. My brother only had one to go to Canada for a conference. None of them want to travel. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:34 55
- may or so.... june is ok too...later is really hot there and august is just crazy - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:41
- [deleted] 9
  - OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH I get an extra week of vacation starting next year. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:44 7
    - [deleted] 1
      - I think I'll actually get the equivalent of five weeks starting next year. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:54
    - Take me to Prague! -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 13:45 4
      - I *really* want to do Eastern Europe (Doez Czech Republic count as part of Eastern Europe? I always put it there in my head) -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:46 3
        
        well it did once -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:54
        
        absoluloopy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:53
        
        Yes it counts. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 13:53
  - If I have advance warning, I can plan, book, probably find award travel (hopefully) and book vacation for work. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:42
- I'll travel with you if you can keep me in the lifestyle I've grown accustomed to. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 13:38 4
  - "Fat, Drunk and Stupid is No Way to Go Through Life" -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:40 3
    - Are you calling me fat? - Dano Sep 15, 13:41 1
      - Nah, I don't call people fat. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:43
    - "Boy, You Sure Got A Face For Radio" -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 13:40
- I heard on the radio today that only 5-10% of Americans have passports. -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 13:36 38
  - event though i "theoretically" don't need it for travel inside "schengen" i always have it with me -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:43
  - There is a lot to see within the US, it's a big place. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:37
  - Our country is so big many don't feel the need to step outside of the borders to see different things. Sad. -- nm - lileve Sep 15, 13:37 35
    - it's a lot more hassle and expense for us to leave the US than for Europeans to leave theirs. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:55
    - I know. And varied. Different culture I guess. -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 13:38
    - ours is bigger - and i think 40% of Canadians have passports. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:37 32
      - partly because the vast majority of Canadian live on the US border. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:54
      - Thats because we like to shop in Buffalo and like the Carribean in the winter :D -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 15, 13:39 1
        
        who doesn't like the caribbean in winter? -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:40
      - Yeah, but we have stuff in ours. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:38 28
        
        Ah, that's the way to phrase it that I was struggling for. Thanks., -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:39 27
        
        you think St John's, Quebec City and Vancouver Island are all the same? -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:41 25
        
        No, but I think the statistics say that something like 90% of our population is within 1 hour of the border or something crazy like that, - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:45 21
        
        Newfoundland to Vancouver is *how* far? -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:46 20
        
        also, vancouver to seattle is HOW far? No wonder so many canadians have passports ... they're mandatory. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:48 9
        
        sure, that's 3 hours. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:49 8
        
        you can't get 1/4 across texas in three hours. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:57 4
        
        i've done that, i know, but Vancouver - Seattle happen to be close - Andie Sep 15, 13:59 3
        
        that's maybe not a great example because I bet a lot of Seattleites do go to Vancouver and have passports. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:04 1
        
        "internal tourism" -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 14:08
        
        It does have to do with passport adoption rates in respective countries, however. So much of the US population is away from a border that they are - Beryllium Sep 15, 14:01
        
        but with 90% (guesstimated) of the population pushed up against the border, we all have an enhanced temptation to get the passport to enter the US. - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:50 2
        
        don't worry about Andie, she gets your point - crash davis Sep 15, 13:57 1
        
        (i do love Seattle) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 14:00
        
        3 days by car -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:47 9
        
        on what planet? -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:47 8
        
        Google Earth :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:48 7
        
        "8-10 days assuming driving 10-14 hours a day" -- (link) - Andie Sep 15, 13:49 6
        
        *shrug* Like google earth would make THAT assumption. (It assumes 24 hour days) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:50 5
        
        it takes 24 hours just to get out of Ontario...from Toronto -- nm - J Sep 15, 13:51
        
        it's 7800km of road St Johns' to Victoria, fyi -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:51 3
        
        so, 3.6 days. The flaw in my logic is that I measured to Cape Breton, Novia Scotia - and going through the US. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:53 1
        
        (The US route was provided by Google Earth a few weeks ago - and would require a passport) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:53
        
        There's your problem, you're using the metric system. In miles that's just 4,846, that's MUCH shorter. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 13:53
        
        no, I obviously consider the first two inferior to the third -- nm - barrylium Sep 15, 13:44
        
        Don't make us back up Canada jokes with facts. It ruins the fun of Canada jokes. - TFox Sep 15, 13:42 1
        
        I mean really! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 15, 13:45
        
        I'll defend Canada....Mosquitos counts as stuff! -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 13:40

    - right, if it wasn't profitable, they wouldn't do it. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:31 6
      - check the prices for 6 days western caribbean as an example: - Andie Sep 15, 13:36 5
        
        prices go up with demand. Or up when supply goes down. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:39 4

        cruise ships never stop, and vacation packages get much much cheaper when demand goes down. - Andie Sep 15, 13:45 2
