A Word We Should All Get Rid Of
Old Dog replied to Lowdark's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
.... and the old phrase that we used to almost sing on the playground seems never more apt... "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." Funny how smart we were as kids.... -
A question to all members
Old Dog replied to Loralee Reach's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I tend to think of it as unwrapping a present.... the excitement builds as each layer is shed. Not to objectify nor to equate with any inanimate thing, seduction is something that can only be enhanced when it is performed slowly. Just a thought... now off for a cold shower. -
A Word We Should All Get Rid Of
Old Dog replied to Lowdark's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Whore (n) Origin: before 1100; Middle English, Old English hōre; cognate with German Hure, Old Norse hōra; akin to Gothic hors harlot, Latin cārus dear Ladies and gents I love history. Some of the most fascinating things can be found there. Do you actually see what the etymology of the word means... dear! Rather fitting I think; if we look at the origins of the word we can see that it`s not demeaning, it`s actually an endearing term. I found if a few others if you care to indulge: The dreaded `c`word.... '''' is believed to derive from a Germanic root *kunton "female genitalia", which also gave rise to Old Norse kunta (ancestor of Norwegian and Swedish dialectical kunta and Danish dialectical kunte), Old Frisian, Middle Low German and Middle Dutchkunte, and the English doublet quaint. And, by the way, the word wasn't always considered derogatory, even though it is today. Be careful about assuming that a word's modern connotations must have governed its formation. By the way, no connection has been made between the Germanic words and Latin cunnus. The proto-Germanic root of '''' is ku- "hollow place", while the Indo-European root of Latin cunnus is (s)keu- "to cover, to conceal", the etymological meaning of cunnus being "sheath". It has nothing to do with cunning (which is related to the verbs ken and can) and everything to do with what it means today: "female genitalia". It first shows up in a list of London street names of about 1230. That street name was, interestingly, Gropecuntelane, one of a warren of streets and alleyways all given over to the lowest forms of prostitution and bawdry. It lay between Aldermanbury and Coleman Street (where the Swiss Bank stands today) and it belonged to one "William de Edmonton". Curiously, medieval Paris had a street name with an identical meaning - Rue Grattecon. Oxford and York apparently also had similar versions of that street name. The `p` word.... Pussy as a slang term for the female pudenda is thought to derive ultimately from Low German puse "vulva" or Old Norse puss "pocket, pouch". It didn't arise in English with a sexual meaning until the 19th century, but prior to that it had been used to refer to women in general (16th century). Just a little education for the day... and actually quite interesting and amusing! -

Your Last Supper?
Old Dog replied to Soleil Sublime's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I was thinking... if I ate something that the ex had prepared, that would qualify as cruel and unusual punishment and I would be given a reprieve. But then again I would actually have to eat the stuff that she used to make, suffering horrible gastronomic consequences and death would be welcome. Soooooooo.... Drinks: A spicy Bloody Caesar. Sure it will give me heartburn, but since I am going to the chair or to the firing squad, the pain will only be short term. Appetizer: Bacon wrapped bacon. No one said it had to be high class. The main course: In honour of the Superbowl and despite my allegiance to the Packers, I present - The Sloppy Roethlisberger - Epic Meal Time Dessert: Something, large sinful and chocolate. Hell no. Two large sinful chocolate things. -
They must be kicked. They must be kicked with vigour. The bigger the better. Big car boogers make you feel so much better when you have defeated them.

Snow Etiquette! we all need it
Old Dog replied to Loralee Reach's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I need to speak to someone about my combination snow/road rage. -
Buy semi sweet chocolate chips. Throw the bag in the freezer. Wait. Wait. Wait (keep waiting until they are frozen.) Open the freezer. Open the bag. Grab a handful of chocolate chips. Pop the frozen chocolate chips in your mouth. Let the chips melt... the flavour explodes!!! Repeat. Damn. Love 'em.

Snow Etiquette! we all need it
Old Dog replied to Loralee Reach's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
THINK and LOOK before you pull out of parking spot or parking lot. Nearly nailed two jackasses who took short chances with my car heading their way today. Don't stand in the middle of the street. I am already angry because two people tried to kill me earlier, I don't need an easy target. Don't PARK opposite or anywhere near the turning radius of a driveway. I won't feel guilty when your new car goes crunch. Don't remind me of the storms of your childhood that were much worse than this. Remember you were much shorter then and snow up to your chest as a kid would reach mid calf on me. Telling me to stay home and off the roads won't work. Calling my boss and telling them that you will make up the shortfall in my paycheque will. Hell, if you do that, I will take a couple of weeks off for ya. -
what one thing could change the world?
Old Dog replied to antlerman's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I gave this a bit of thought. What if words could really express how we feel? Not just lip service but a a magical sort of communication. In a sense, words would convey a tangible sentiment. Saying "I love you," would fill the heart with euphoria. Saying, "I'm sorry," would relieve the pain and give a sense of restoration. Saying, "I forgive you," would relieve the guilt and anguish that we all carry. Saying, "I miss you," would give a person a true sense of how much they mean to others. "Great job," "Congratulations," and "way to go!" would fill you with a sense of pride. ...that's what I think. ...or we could just wish for every woman to have great boobs. That would work too. -
.....''''''''''''::SOB''''''''''''..... Sara... I don't know what to say. I so respect your decision and congratulate you on the new avenue... but will so miss your wit, your warmth and that bubbly personality. You know you always have a friend here... stay in touch! Love ya hun! xoxo OD.

Damn ... this is brilliant. I am going to use this the next time I want a day off from work. It's serious enough to merit attention but sensitive enough that they won't pry. Beats the hell out of pretending to have a sore throat and a stuffy nose. Disregarding my ramblings... hope everything works out for ya!

Hate to let you know this BUT....the CRTC has ruled in favour of the big guys. The bad news? The big guys sell the little guys wholesale bandwidth, so the eventuality is that Usage Based Billing (UBB) is here to stay.... here's the article: The CRTC, Canada's communication regulator, has ruled that Bell can charge smaller ISPs based on usage, essentially forcing the small ISPs to stop offering unlimited internet packages and to bill based on usage, just as Bell, Rogers and Shaw do. One ISP, Tekksavvy, has already slashed the amount of data its customers can download in a month, in some cases almost 90 per cent. Jean-François Mezei, a Montreal-based computer consultant, appealed the usage-based billing (UBB) decision, saying it impedes the ability of internet service providers to provide different choices of service for their customers. "Without choice, there is no competition, and incumbents can then raise prices and lower service limits knowing customer have nowhere to go," said Mezei's petition to the Governor in Council. NDP MP Charlie Angus said the decision could hit many Canadians financially. "Allowing the internet service providers to ding you every time you download is a ripoff. Canada is already falling behind other countries in terms of choice, accessibility and pricing for the internet," he said. Michael Hlinka, business commentator for CBC Toronto's Metro Morning, said usage-based billing would be fairer for light internet users. "Right now with, under the current system, somebody like me who doesn't use his internet very much at home is subsidizing heavy users," he said. "I don't understand why people don't think that you should pay for what you use." CBC Radio's Spark devoted much of its Jan. 30 show to UBB, and featured interviews with Mirko Bibic from Bell Canada and Steve Anderson, the founder and National Coordinator of OpenMedia.ca, a group that's put together a petition against UBB called "Stop The Meter."
