Hey ST - is Mad Men worth checking out? I think there are some of you here who really like it. - kelly Nov 27, 17:35 4
- Definitely. Although... - Cuzzin Toddfurky Nov 27, 17:41
- It's one of the best shows I've ever seen. Seriously. - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 17:40
- best show on tv -- nm - pigby Nov 27, 17:39
- Some here like it. I've watched a couple episodes, but the "feel" they're going for feels stilted and false to me. -- nm - TWuG Nov 27, 17:38
Quantum of Solace (spoilers) - nubby Nov 27, 17:29 1
- Very enjoyable film -- nm - TWuG Nov 27, 17:39
ST Poll: What are you hoping to purchase tomorrow? - Jelly Nov 27, 17:20 6
- Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 17:40
- Nada. I refuse to venture out on Black Friday. 14 years of retail. -- nm - TWuG Nov 27, 17:40 1
  - 10+ years of retail taught me that black Friday is a myth and the stores will be slower and the crowds will have receded by afternoon. - Cuzzin Toddfurky Nov 27, 17:44
- breakfast, in Paris. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 17:39
- Morning after pill -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 17:28 1

  - I'm sorry. *hug* - kelly Nov 27, 17:08 5
    - at lest the dog is potty trained right? -- nm - truman Nov 27, 17:18 4
      - Umm...sorta. :) - kelly Nov 27, 17:28 3
        
        are we talking about the dog or will? -- nm - truman Nov 27, 17:30 2
        
        pffft. -- nm - kelly Nov 27, 17:34 1
        
        ok so both of them. hmm, perhaps they are both competing to mark the same territory? -- nm - truman Nov 27, 17:36
Haha, Kelly. You are in my phone so you don't show up as some random number. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 16:57 1
- Crap! -- nm - kelly Nov 27, 16:58
So someone with 817 Ft. Worth area code texted me Happy Thanksgiving, now someone with 917 New York did the same. Who is forking with me? -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 16:50 2
- You want me to text you with a 323 area code? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 27, 16:55
- oh no. The League of 17s has found you! Run for the hills! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:51
Hypothetically speaking: say a Canadian wanted to order some porn, where might one find a legitmate site for such a hypothetical transaction? -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 16:48 4
- Amazon seem to have some - Guigue Nov 27, 16:52 2
  - went, prices were retarded. $80 for that Pirates movie. -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 16:56 1
    - You mean "A Canadian" went! ;) - Guigue Nov 27, 17:01
- "order"? Huh? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:50
Turbaconducken! (Turducken wrapped in bacon) -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:40
if you don't have VH1 Classic...you can watch That Metal Show here.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 27, 16:38
Time for me to travel.......see you after turkey :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 16:37
The puppies have a stuffed turkey that's as big as they are :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 16:36
Two things missing from Thanksgiving dinner earlier today: mashed potatoes and stuffing. So what am I gonna make for dinner in 2-3 hours? - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 16:22 7
- yeah, I've yet to hit the fruit salad and pies (pumpkin and pecan) -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 27, 16:29
- No mashed potatoes and stuffing?!?! That's.....unAmerican!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 16:27 1
  - I know! Mom said she "didn't want to mess with it this year." - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 17:43
- I made extra of both. Stuffing is my favorite dish today, and if I didn't have it, I would die a horrible death. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 16:26 3
  - Will's cousin made 'oyster stuffing' today. I don't know what grossed me out more - the oyster part, or the stuffing part. -- nm - kelly Nov 27, 16:41 2
    - Yeah, but oyster, bacon, and cornbread stuffing is to die for. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 17:42
    - Oyster Stuffing is something that sounds good, but I just want to leave it at that. I won't mind if I never try it before I die. -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 16:43
This just in: I hate PNC bank. They have some of the most ass-backward policies I've ever seen. - kelly Nov 27, 15:58 10
- Please enlighten with details so we can all point out just how ass-backwards all banks are with policies at least as ass-backwards as the ones which - Subversive Nov 27, 15:59 9
  - TD was very nice to me yesterday by bank standards. - Reagen Nov 27, 16:07
  - Heh, okay. - kelly Nov 27, 16:06 7
    - You know what is fun? When you have, say $500 in your account. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 27, 17:12 2
      - Oh yeah. - kelly Nov 27, 17:29 1
        
        I had that happen - last week. Thanks PNC! -- nm - emoticripple Nov 28, 07:46
    - Same thing happened to me with U.S. Bank. And I can't wait to switch back to a credit union. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 16:18
    - They don't give you separate 'balance' and 'available balance' totals? Wells Fargo gives me these, and anything received but not in the available - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 16:18 2
      - Yeah, they do. - kelly Nov 27, 16:29 1
        
        That sucks :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 16:34
Quantum of Solace: A- -- nm - nubby Nov 27, 15:56 4
- I still don't understand the title of this movie. - Subversive Nov 27, 15:58 3
  - (spoils) - Roger More Nov 27, 16:03
  - a quantum of something is the smallest possible unit. - Reagen Nov 27, 16:01 1
    - Oh, God, here comes nubby to explain quantum mechanics ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 16:19
So I finally got around to watching that True Blood season ender (spoiler) - Qale Nov 27, 15:53
It's so odd when store -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:48 13
- owners complain to people that park near their stores in a strip mall parking lot but that are going into antoher store. - Reagen Nov 27, 15:49 11
  - They should realize they don't own the parking lot space outside of their strip malls most of the time. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 16:12
  - the problem is that they pay rent on the spaces in front of the store the run. Effectively you're blocking access for customers who will go into the.. - Remlik Nov 27, 16:05 2
    - I'm not unsympathetic. But coming out to confront me? I'll go out of my way to not buy from you. - Reagen Nov 27, 16:09 1
      - yeah that's crappy. no doubt. it's a lose lose propostion for the retailer... - Remlik Nov 27, 16:24
  - What store? What strip mall? I'll boycott too! - Subversive Nov 27, 15:51 5
    - probably won't help unless you're buying a chainsaw in Cochrane. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:52 4
      - Why in the world are you buying a chainsaw? -- nm - Subversive Nov 27, 15:54 2
        
        I'm not, you are. but not there. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:54 1
        
        That's for sure! -- nm - Subversive Nov 27, 15:55
      - It would be funny to have a huge (fake) Facebook boycott of the one store -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:53
  - and i had to laugh when I came out and saw a vehicle double parked across the space I moved from. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:50
- Random typos amuse me when I see them before the inevitable sfek post. :) -- nm - Subversive Nov 27, 15:49
BAT-man WINS! -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 15:47
*tries to work on a work project* ... erph, this one is going to be annoying. The hard part will be the interface. - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:38
I think the cultural influence of Quebec is integral to the spirit of being Canadian, and while it does sadden me that a (seemingly large) subset of - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:22 53
- What I don't get is how NWBR wants us Quebecois to show our love for Canada... - Guigue Nov 27, 15:38 51
  - Yes, but all those other groups you mention...Push comes to shove, they usually recognize themselves as Canadian. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:50 34
    - Once again you come back to the government - Guigue Nov 27, 15:57 20
      - Bullshit. The idea that the Bloc represents a different form of government is wrong because they'll never govern and people voting for them know that - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:02 19
        
        Wow okay you're more serious about this than I thought... - Guigue Nov 27, 16:09 13
        
        Quebec voters have never voted in large numbers for a non-Quebec leader of a national party. Do you think that is a coincedence? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:13 1
        
        (this one is definitely meant in jest) Oh, NWBR. You're such an embittered martyr. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:16
        
        I think NWBR is just upset that Quebec gets its own entire party to assert its Provincial interests on a Federal level. - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:11 10
        
        No. I'm upset that I'm always told to make excuses for special status and special programs without being told by anyone as to why. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:16 9
        
        Because we're Canadian. We're nice. We are persistent even in the face of adversity, we are determined to keep our country whole, and we want - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:20 8
        
        How can a country be whole when a large percentage of its people don't give a flying fig what happens to the rest of it? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:22 7
        
        By the will of the people. I thought I made that clear already? - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:39 6
        
        ... to finalize the thought, the single most important tactic is persistence, even in the face of adversity and failure. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:40 5
        
        If you weren't a dirty hippy, I'd kiss you -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 16:42
        
        Well good I guess, because your strategy has been in place for fifty years and can hardly be said to be working. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:42 3
        
        And *fine*, go get your rocks off. - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:43
        
        Wow, I think you should open a history book and see how it was in Quebec 50 years ago -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 16:43
        
        Attitudes like yours will bring us to the brink of what Belgium is facing. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:43
        
        well it was Stephane Dion, but... -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 16:06 1
        
        I dropped the caveat from earlier. "Non-elected." Justin Trudeau's the most likely person now. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:08
        
        You really think it's going to be a big deal? Something so petty as this? Oooh ... you're going to have a sad, sad decade. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:04 2
        
        Bery, I knew before you posted on B2 that you're posting stuff to just rile me up, so please tell me you're not this disengaged and aloof. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:09 1
        
        I am dead serious in this one opinion: The issue of Quebec Sovereignty v. Canada is *not* going to be the dominant crisis of the next decade. - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:13
    - Go. There. And. Ask. Them. And. Film. It. And. Profit. From. It. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:51 12
      - Send me a cheque to fund it and I'd go in a heartbeat. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:52 11
        
        And Harper just cut arts funding. Damn irony. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:53 7
        
        But he didn't! That's the thing that bugs me the most. The arts cuts....weren't. The department budget grew and the cuts came from within the... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:58 6
        
        And that's why the protests weren't against Canada, but against the Conservative Party -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 16:00 5
        
        Quebec has voted a majority of the Bloc in six elections now. This isn't just a piss off to the Tories. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:07 3
        
        I'm not sure you know the Bloc that well, and how they campain - Guigue Nov 27, 16:12 1
        
        I know voting Bloc is not the same as voting seperatist. But it is voting for a party that will never govern. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 16:19
        
        So really, you want the Bloc to be disbanded, and that will solve the problem? That's the gesture you want from Quebec? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 16:09
        
        (We protest against the actions of our provincial government, that doesn't make us anti-Qu�bec) -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 16:03
        
        Hey, if I was running the government, there'd be a New Media Endowment program to do just that. But I'm not. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:52 2
        
        If we were ripping on the Canadian Need To Be Told How To Live By Government, I'd be bookmarking this post. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:55 1
        
        I would love to see government funding for projects like LoadingReadyRun. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:56
  - I always imagine the separatists of Quebec as similar to the cowboys of Alberta. - Subversive Nov 27, 15:43 13
    - This isn't to do with seperatism anymore. It's about engaging with your countrymen. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:51
    - There are a few hardcore separatists, but most people are mild supporters. That's why the % of support change a lot and quickly - Guigue Nov 27, 15:49 4
      - l'effect du Bradleux? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:50 3
        
        I need to find how you translate "chickenshit" -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 15:51 2
        
        "le merde du coq"? -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:54
        
        hahah. That would be great :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:53
    - There is a lot of truth to the idea that Quebec and Alberta would be best friends if only they'd get over hating each other. - Reagen Nov 27, 15:45 5
      - If I were to openly advocate for Western seperatism, I would be dead in the water politically, right? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:54 3
        
        outright seperatism, yes. framed in a different light, not so much - Reagen Nov 27, 15:56
        
        You'd be the Separation Party of Alberta -- (link) - Subversive Nov 27, 15:55
        
        Well, you'd be branded as a kook, for sure. But some people would still listen. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:55
      - At the Carnaval de Qu�bec there's the "Calgary Breakfast". Cowboys in winter eating sausages with the Bonhomme Carnaval! - Guigue Nov 27, 15:47
    - Well-said. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:44
  - Note: I'm not a hippie of BC, I'm a yuppie of BC. :-) - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:41
  - pay 10% more in tax voluntarily? :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 27, 15:41
- people have the right to self determination and to become a people - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 27, 15:28
PSA for ConquerClub players. I started a handful of three-person and four-person games of variant types. - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 15:15
[an error occurred while processing this stuffed directive] -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 15:15 3
- And here I thought for some reason that you prefered to do the stuffing ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 15:16 1
  - Go figure, for once I wasn't making innuendo. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 15:22
- You wish! -- nm - Redmond Nov 27, 15:15
Thanks for playing David Ahenakew, but you won't be receiving a copy of the home game -- (link) - Reagen Nov 27, 15:10 8
- It's hilarious in its ridiculousness. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:14 6
  - PS to Reagen: I ask this looking for a real answer...Why should I be asked to accept that fellow Canadians demand my support but refuse... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 27, 15:21 5
    - I suppose my point is that this is nothing new and that it just now has a political arm. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 15:38
    - We're like Andy on The Office and Quebec is Angela! - Subversive Nov 27, 15:27 2
      - that's more like Andy 2.0, though -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:28 1
        
        (And I think he's headed directly for a downgrade, if you know what I mean) --nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:29
    - Because you're Canadian. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 15:22
- What an ass. - Subversive Nov 27, 15:13
