Young MC - Bust a Move

This concept has been tried in various forms, and with varying degrees of success. I think one of the main issues is the relative value of services/goods being exchanged, and making sure each party is satisfied at the end of it (sorry for the bad pun!). In this environment, such an arrangement could also lead to the loss of anonymity, which I know a lot of us appreciate.

Northern Pikes - She ain't pretty

Axis of Awesome - 4 Chord Song Worth watching the video - see how many songs you recognize!

A couple of advil and a gatorade did the trick for me this morning! I think dehydration is a big part of a hangover, so the gatorade replenishes the fluids and electrolytes.

Sons of Maxwell - Sixteen for Awhile Some good Canadian boys here!

Captain Tractor - The Last Saskatchewan Pirate! Not exactly widely known, but some good Canadian kids!

The Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking

Honeymoon Suite - Wave Babies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZlm4-61SHY

Thanks FunJay - That's the spot! I don't know how many shirts I ruined walking (or stumbling) home while trying to eat! Another of my faves was D'arcy McGees for Robbie Burns night. One of the better places for a wee bit o' haggis to celebrate the day.

The Westin and Marriott are definitely good options. You may want to touch base with Emily (http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?u=22822) - she visits fairly often, and can probably point you in the right direction.

I use a bowl trap: Pour some red wine or balsamic vinegar in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and poke a bunch of small holes in the plastic (a toothpick or something equally small). The flies can get in, but can't get out. Happy hunting!

I love it! They actually did a take on this in The West Wing (the old political drama with Martin Sheen). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHaVUjjH3EI Not sure which one came first, but both are hilarious!

I love getting away from it all to relax. Whether it's camping for a few days (an isolated spot, not a provincial park or municipal campground!), or hopping in the kayak and heading off with nowhere to go. Sailing is also a great way to relax - there's just something about the feel of the wind in the sail and the sound of the waves that just makes the pressures of life fade away.

I'll back Floyd up on that. I had a great session with her - one of the most relaxing massages I've had in ages. The other stuff was a lot of fun too!

Well said Flyer. We too often need to be reminded that the simple pleasures in life that are there to be found, if only we take the time to look for them and enjoy them. The stresses and pressures of life never go away; how we handle them is up to us. Someone much smarter than me once said that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. The other 90% is decided by how you react.

Sorry to hear that Selena. As a previous poster said, people are usually pretty understanding, and a sincere apology goes a long way. Hopefully they were smart enough to use an anonymous email address!

Grosse Point Blank - some great oldies there! If you like instrumental, Braveheart and Gladiator are great too.

A special day for two reasons then! Congratulations my dear, it's well deserved!

I'd say she's earned that honour - what a performance under the worst of circumstances.

Hello Ottawa Cerbies! I'm going to be paying a short visit to O-town in a couple of weeks, and will be out in Kanata. Are there any recommended SPs in the area, or who are willing to travel? My challenge is going to be scheduling - given that I'm travelling for business, I likely won't have a lot of lead-time to book something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

A great idea that generated fantastic results. A tip of the hat to all who were involved, and to our mod for organizing it. Nice to see some positive publicity too. I'm glad they avoided the usual editorial slant, and focused on the generosity of all involved.
