The thing that really gets my about the Quebecois is how beautiful the women are and how boorish, unkempt, and ugly the men are.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 12:00pm

Re: Stuff people like that I think sucks...
Chain-smoking will do that to you. I was taken aback at how many people smoked when we moved here. I hadn't realized how much tobacco had fallen out of favour on the Prairies until I was hit by the prevalence of cigarette smoke outside.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 12:15pmYeah but the Quebecois men all look malnourished.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 12:09pmThat's pretty much the rule everywhere, isn't it?BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 12:07pmThe thing that really gets my about the Quebecois is how beautiful the women are and how boorish, unkempt, and ugly the men are.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 12:00pm

Re: Stuff people like that I think sucks...
I have a hard time conceiving of a time when smoking anywhere and everywhere—airplanes, college classrooms, movie theatres—was acceptable. One of those cultural shifts that makes past convention wholly foreign.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 1:33pmThe first time I went to Montreal as a grown-up was in 1998 and there was an ashtray in the hotel elevator.

Re: Stuff people like that I think sucks...
Last year I found myself at bar on the Georgia/Alabama border (long story) and they allowed smoking. It was very strange. I bummed a smoke and just basked in it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 1:53pmI have a hard time conceiving of a time when smoking anywhere and everywhere—airplanes, college classrooms, movie theatres—was acceptable.

When I was in Germany last year I was surprised to see cigarette vending machines every 100m down the street!! In NZ shops can’t even have them on display they are kept in locked unmarked cabinets.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 2:07pmLast year I found myself at bar on the Georgia/Alabama border (long story) and they allowed smoking.

Re: Stuff people like that I think sucks...
I tell my daughter that my Doctor used to actually smoke while he was treating me as a child and she doesn't believe me. My main memory as a child is of smoke being everywhere. I still occasionally smoke myself but I'm glad society has put the right measures in place to safeguard people.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 1:53pmI have a hard time conceiving of a time when smoking anywhere and everywhere—airplanes, college classrooms, movie theatres—was acceptable.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
