Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Oh....Canada
Alas, it's true. Tim's has become Canada's signature and omnipresent corporate entity. I don't mind Tim's coffee, but the wife is too dedicated to Starbucks, so that's where we normally go (other than Petro-Canada or 7-11, I'm pretty relaxed about coffee providers).JennyB wrote:OK...so here's my lasting impression of the Great White North:

Re: Oh....Canada
Saskatoon, pop. 225,000, has between ten and twelve, and about half that many Starbucks. Plenty of independent coffee shops, too, tho. As recently as five years ago, Saskatoon also had the most pizza places and restaurants in general per capita in North America. Or so I've been told.threecoffins wrote:My hometown of Barrie (population 140-150k) has ten.Guest wrote:JennyB wrote:OK...so here's my lasting impression of the Great White North:

Gotta love our European friends. I got yelled at by an old lady (in hindsight it might've been a raccoon), for walking on the wrong side of the side walk couple of years ago in Germany.Spiff wrote:Whatever you do ... don't ever go to Italy.JennyB wrote:It's called a turn signal. Use it.
Re: Oh....Canada
Now, I just want to say that I don't want any of my Candian friends to get me wrong here...I'm just kidding around. I live in St. Louis, I have no business putting anyone else's place of residence down.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Re: Oh....Canada
One thing I've noticed about NYC since moving here from the south is...
Northerners don't know how to walk on the RIGHT. This is fucking America, not the Autobahn... On the sidewalks, going up/down stairs, etc.. It's fucking mindboggling.

Re: Oh....Canada
All true, but I never noticed that skill in the South, either. Indeed, one thing that pissed me off about NC was that people didn't get out of the way. That is, a group of three coming at you, side-by-side, taking up the entire sidewalk, and an absolute refusal to make way for the one person who wants to get by. I'm noticing that more and more everywhere, but I first saw it in NC.Wolter wrote:It's that way in Chicago too.
