This is the networking question I was trying to post the other day but having slash issues. If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. - Subversive Nov 27, 15:03 2
- so tempted to FIRST there -- nm - zork Nov 27, 15:07 1
  - Well, you need to sign up to post. - Subversive Nov 27, 15:08
Ohmygod ... I just found my new favorite store in Portland. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 15:00 1

Whoa! The Liberals, NDP and Bloc say they will vote against the Tory package on Monday. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:56 3
- two elections in three months would probably make Canadians scrap the whole thing and go back to the monarchy. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:04 1
  - I wouldn't be totally opposed to the idea ... - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:05
- hah! That would be hilarious. A terrible idea for the liberals, but hilarious to watch. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:57
anyone remember the url for the guy in nebraska/kansas that has all the cool storm photos? -- nm - truman Nov 27, 14:51
Back from Thanksgiving dinner with my parents. It was excellent, and only one small moment of drama. - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 14:47 6
- Happy Thanksgiving Joel - Qale Nov 27, 14:49 5
  - Happy Thanksgiving! - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 14:53 4
    - It's good to be with family, even with foot-stuck-in-mouth situations. And last night the crowd was huge at the club with my other family... - Qale Nov 27, 14:54 3
      - I know the feeling. - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 14:59 2
        
        Ferenity brothers oh? Sigma-Cum-Lotsa? - Qale Nov 27, 15:02 1

Wow!! Nice D -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 14:44 2
- I hope the last game is more competitive than the first two. - krusty Nov 27, 14:47 1
  - I can guarantee it will be. Because it's the one game I won't be able to watch today. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 14:50
Happy Thanksgiving fuckers! -- nm - Guy1 Isgoogleneato Nov 27, 14:43 1
- Ironically this is exactly how the Pilgrims greeted the Indians on Thanksgiving Day. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 14:46
Mmmmmmm, just took my first bite. It's worth the wait everyone. Hang in there!! -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 14:39

Costco question on returns - Reagen Nov 27, 14:08 3
- You can use the cash card they give you to enter the store and at the gas pumps -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 27, 14:34
- Helluva good question. Worst case, you can tell me what you want with it and I can go get it for you. -- nm - Subversive Nov 27, 14:33
- you know I don't know. here's a link to the customer service area.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 27, 14:10
Dang, I already have 52.30 fantasy points for the week. Thanks Tennessee!! - Trish Nov 27, 14:06 1
- You thanked the wrong team, what about us? -- nm - The Detroit Lions Nov 27, 14:28
This story creeps me out on so many levels...Murderer wrote a screenplay describing the murder he would eventually commit. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:06 4
- That is discusting and in bad taste. -- nm - OJ's book If I Did It This Is How I Did It Nov 27, 14:29
- This is the guy that the media loosely linked to "Dexter"? - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:08 2
  - Yep. The actor who played "the victim" tells his story and there's more details. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:09 1
    - apparently the director had tried this before and was seen chasing someone down the street with a sword. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 14:12
I'm really liking the new CD from The Killers. Thanks to whomever on ST who brought them to my attention. - CovingtonCat Nov 27, 13:59 2
- Yeah, very good band. Kevin Rudolf's album is pretty good. Kanye is average like always. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 27, 14:02 1
  - /blogs against you IN ALL CAPS! -- nm - Kanye S.I. Nov 27, 14:04
The gamestop commercial where the parents have found the teenager's porn stash is excellent. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 13:44
Who wants to do me a favour? I need this link cut and pasted here. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 13:43 36
- Yuk - Guigue Nov 27, 13:59 28
  - Guigue...Honest question...How else should Canadians read Quebec's voting for the Bloc if not as an anti-federal message? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:02 27
    - (And by Canadians, I mean those of us outside Quebec.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:10
    - Don't try to get me to defend the bloc, like I said this morning, they were the last of the 4 parties I would have voted for in the last election - Guigue Nov 27, 14:10 25
      - I'm not asking you to defend the Bloc. I'm asking you to defend Quebeckers. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:23 23
        
        Sorry, Quebeckers won't be Canadians before Quebeckers anytime soon - Guigue Nov 27, 14:33 14
        
        That's the problem! If your post had been written by a westerner in the 90's and you replaced "Bloc" with "Reform", you'd have been considered... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:47 13
        
        My most fervent hope is that they simply maintain the status quo, and don't actively try to fuck the country in the ass. - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:52 12
        
        The status quo is already a problem of "There's everyone else and then there's us." I'm not even the biggest federalist and that disconnect bothers.. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:54 11
        
        What is it that you want them to share with you? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:57 10
        
        I want Quebeckers to show that they actually want to be Canadians. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:58 9
        
        Also, you're using the word wrong. Quebecker also refers to Aboriginal and english-speaking residents of Quebec. - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:02 1
        
        You may be correct. But when the official line of the provincial government is so nationalistic as well, it's tough not to encompess everyone. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:08
        
        Who else do you want to demonstrate their desire to be Canadian? First Nations? Chinese-Canadians? - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:59 6
        
        And that makes it okay? That means it's unfair of me to ask why I should continue to support the demands of people who want no part of my country? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:02 5
        
        honestly, it seems a bit strange for you to be saying "You shouldn't want the things you say you want." Seems poor as an overall strategy. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:06 2
        
        That's the thing though. They say they don't want to leave Canada, but they don't show that they care about Canada either. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:12 1
        
        They've had a different vision of Canada for hundreds of years and will continue to for hudnreds more. might as well command the tide not to rise. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:14
        
        No, but in my opinion, it makes you Un-Canadian to be so xenophobic. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:03 1
        
        (see what I did there? I proved your point, but accused you of the same exact mentality as them.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:06
        
        Awww, you're such a martyr for decency. Why don't you go there and ask them? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:25 7
        
        Seriously Bery, am I that wrong to ask for a little show of faith? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:27 5
        
        You're wrong to ask the Internet for it, and you're wrong to listen to Pundits to try and find it. - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:28 4
        
        I'm asking a Quebecker here am I not? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 14:29 2
        
        You're asking one Quebecois to defend all of us, like we're all the same - Guigue Nov 27, 14:39
        
        Hai. This is the Internets. Home of the Rantburger. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:30
        
        (And I really do think that you could make a superb series on your Blog about it) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:28
        
        ... in fact, take an HD camera, and do a roving reporter series on your blog about it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:26
      - And if those pundits are just now discovering that Quebec still has a large separatist faction, they should read their own newspaper a little more - Guigue Nov 27, 14:13
- here ya go... - krusty Nov 27, 13:51 2
  - Thanks to you too krusty. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 13:53 1
    - gave me something to do besides pace around the kitchen. -- nm - krusty Nov 27, 14:45
- Pretty please with a cherry on top? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 13:49 3
  - Is this what you meant? - CovingtonCat Nov 27, 13:51 2
    - The comments and all! You went above and beyond. Thanks. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 13:53
    - Interesting. I didn't realize the text limit was so ... unlimited. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 13:52
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas! -- nm - The Sheriff of Nottingham Nov 27, 13:42
gobble gobble joy joy! -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 13:36

Attention attention. Turkey temp currently at 165 degrees. I am 15 degrees away from eating my feast! -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 13:28 9
- heh I had the best dinner 3 days ago in this run down place, the steak wasn't cooked the way I wanted it and the veg was soggy, but, man, I'm still - Loyola Nov 27, 13:33
- We're 30 minutes away from having a lesbian Thanksgiving. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 27, 13:32 7
  - Invited the neighbors, huh? -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 13:53 4
    - We're going nextdoor to their place. Pooled food, I like this. They cook the turkey, we supply wine, dessert, veggies and bread. - CrankYanker Nov 27, 13:58 3
      - Can I come too? -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 14:30
      - Sounds like it!! They've jumped right in to being neighborly :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 14:00 1
        
        I'll be up in your end of town - 17th and Newport. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 14:04

Greenland votes for greater autonomy -- (link) - Reagen Nov 27, 13:28 2
- and for lesser economy - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 27, 13:36 1
  - It would move us a little closer to Russia and well clear of the US and China in the territory game. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 13:39

    - Yeh ive been wanting to get the 52 storyline as well - eag Nov 27, 13:27 1
      - I'll cut you a deal on 52 as well.... - Remlik Nov 27, 13:33
oh, i found a great gift for the 15 year old (and his dad!) - fighter pilot simulator experience -- (link) - El Fandie Nov 27, 13:11 8

    - i can't believe i paid money to see that in a theater -- nm - pigby Nov 27, 13:16 3
      - that movie was all kinds of awesome. what the hell are you talking about? -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:25 2

Well everyone, we're off to our TWO turkey day dinners, hope everyone and their families have a great day! -- nm - Stephen Nov 27, 12:50

- I want more turkey. I may have to return to grammies to raid more leftovers from last night. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 12:53 2
  - I get turkey in about 5 hours ...I just have to be aware of how much I'm eating .. - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 13:02 1
    - You could try eating your turkey the Martha Stewart way from the old southpark episode. - Qale Nov 27, 13:16
Maybe it's that I don't need/want anything, but the Black Friday ads did nothing for me. - ty97 Nov 27, 12:34 1
- There are some good deals...but nothing that we really "need" - Stephen Nov 27, 12:38

For Canadians: Loblaws, Sobeys to stop handing out free plastic bags at grocery strores....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Nov 27, 12:09 23
- Superstore (Loblaws out here) has charged a nickle a bag ever since I can remember. It's why I'm actually in favour of the Toronto mayor's tax idea. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 12:48
- Bob Lob Law? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 12:11 3
  - "Don't talk gibberish to Bob Loblaw." -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:12
  - oh, right, I have to subscribe to his law blog -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:11 1
    - This makes me want to buy some kind of sexbot box set. -- nm - mara Nov 27, 12:18
- some cashiers haven't quite gotten the message yet though. I've had a few just sort of stand there when presented with the reusable bags as if to say - Reagen Nov 27, 12:11 3
  - We bought those plastic boxes from Superstore a couple years ago, and now take them to safeway and costco with us. - Subversive Nov 27, 12:59 1
    - I have 2 of those, they're great. Useful for camping and other outdoor stuff, too. I need to get the straps for mine. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 13:53
  - My market was giving a nickel credit per bag, but I think now they're just giving bonus loyalty points. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 12:13
- Does this count Thrifty Foods? I might have to get some of their canvas bags. - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:09 13
  - My first two bags are almost worn out...and half the time I forget them :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 12:11 2
    - we're in school, so grocery shop with backpacks. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 27, 12:24
    - I keep the tubs in the car. They fit nicely in the shopping carts. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:13
  - Ah, it doesn't say. It would kinda suck if they did, though, because I reuse the plastic bags as garbage bags. If they get rid of them, I'll have to - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:11 9
    - i'm okay with that. i'd rather buy garbage bags than have 460 Million (That's Toronto ALONE) grocery bags end up in land fill every year. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 12:19 8
      - That's only a bag per person every three days. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised it's that low. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 12:53
      - But I have a 100% reuse rate. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:21 6
        
        Do you really have a 100% reuse rate or a 20% rate and a cupboard full of plastic bags? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 12:57 4
        
        I have a 100% reuse of grocery bags. Stupid custom-made clothing shopping bags are annoying to reuse, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 13:26
        
        I have two cats, so plastic grocery bags are worth their weight in gold. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 12:58 2
        
        i buy these pooper scooper bags from the dollar store. it's $1 for 50 and they're bio degradable (and black, so you can see anything.) -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 13:09
        
        Feel free to take an armload next time you are at our place. - Subversive Nov 27, 13:01
        
        as does my friend, the dog walker. but you guys are the minority. - El Fandie Nov 27, 12:27
Maaaaybe I should go to this darn potluck thing. But I don't feel like dealing with people. :| -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:07

- yes, we have a games room with a Wii, and XBox, and a projector -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:07 3
  - (XBox 360 Arcade, with a 20GB refurb HD) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 12:07 2
    - We were trying to pitch the president on this awhile ago. I still think he'd go for it if we could find the space. -- nm - Subversive Nov 27, 13:00
    - cool. -- nm - Marcel Nov 27, 12:12
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 12:06 2
- And to you and yours. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 12:09
