Old Dog

geez... if you are going to wear the elephant thong, I guess that means I can't wear mine. Hmmmm... crotchless Spiderman???

Okay... I will do it too... but you must know that it won't be just your niece that will never talk to you again, you can probably write off your entire family....

Bravo Cub!!!! A completely unanticipated response but thought provoking... I like it!!!

My mind just keeps drifting back to Monty Python's Meaning of Life... the execution scene where the man gets to choose his own way of dying. He is chased by a number of topless young women, running in slow motion and sheds his mortal coil as he is forced by their pursuit to leap from a cliff... ahhhh... sorry what was the question???? Ohhh yeah... sooo... anything that involves running naked in slow motion would be fine by me...

I am pretty sure that Rogers has this one covered. I just did a "transfer responsibilities" process with Rogers this weekend - moving one of the cell phones I was paying for to another account, in another person's name. Rogers makes sure that all parties are amenable... and go through a series of checks to protect themselves. I am certain they have had this process in place for a number of years; I remember doing it a while back when I was going through my own divorce. I will agree with you on one key point... she certainly is a dumb ass.

Amen Meg... and don't we all feel better for it???

Here are some ideas: I volunteer at "insert name here" and they count on me at this time. I still do freelance "insert job here" and there are times I need to meet with people that have regular schedules. I have an appointment with "insert name of service here" and I can't cancel without losing my deposit. I am meeting up with "insert name here" and need to know whether I have to cancel. There is always a reason for a timeline!

No Carrie... there are dark chocolates out there made with hot chillies in the mix... it really is a taste sensation. You get that sharp chocolate taste, the hint of sweetness... and then BAM... you get the tingling at the end of your tongue from the chillies. It really is a taste sensation. ED Man??? Homemade spaghetti sauce without pasta??? Bless ya bro, I thought I was the only one!!!!! Ohhhh yeah... and Carrie... chili is another can't stop dish.... make a perfect pot and you just can't stop.....

Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg.... No need to worry. You know that we all love and respect you. If you lack a Flyers Jersey, you could do something like young drunken men do at football games in the middle of winter..... yes, I am suggesting body paint. Since no one has come forward to volunteer to apply it for you, I will man up and do the job. Ohhhhh, the sacrifices I make for my country.....

I have conducted a completely unscientific investigation, but I have come to a shocking conclusion. When Meg was seen wearing a Senators jersey, the Sens met their demise in the first round. Meg switched to the Bruins jersey. The Bruins were up three games to nil. The Flyers won the next four straight and eliminated the Bruins in the second round. It's round three. Now Meg has shown up in a Habs top. Game one result??? The Flyers smoked em 6-0. Now.... this might be completely coincidental, but the trend is disturbing. It may be that the boys just get too distracted by having their colours so well represented. It could be that Meg gets their young hearts beating so fast that their optimal performance cannot be achieved. I am fearful for Canada's last remaining franchise in pursuit of the Stanley Cup. Does anyone have any suggestions???

ohhhhh... damn... can't vote. Christina Hendricks. Joan from Mad Men. Need a GPS just to negotiate those curves. Not everyone's cup o' tea, but damn, if she isn't I'll drink your share.

Oh... I could say look up Daisy and Minnie... but that would be far too easy....

Mmmmm an entire meal of scalloped potatoes... of course I would be useless for days after... but the idea... captivating.

Again... all of them equally bad for you. - scalloped potatoes... just leave the dish on the table... stand back. - peanut brittle - I swear to god I say every time, "I will just have one small piece..." - Count Chocula... okay I am a kid at heart, but frankly CHOCOLATE sugar blasted cereal, accompanied by CHOCOLATE dessicated marshmallows drenched in milk that turns into CHOCOLATE milk when you are all done??? How can you argue with that???? - freezer chilled semi sweet dark chocolate. Try it. It melts slowly and every few seconds you get a huge flavour blast... mmmmmm.

Jeebus... I am seven for ten. I never met or dated Kelly, Carly or Tina. My ex's name?? Right down there at the bottom where it says Frost Free Frigidaire.

Yes, that is the technical term... and here is a list compiled of 10 of the most annoying.... you asked for it. Other. Everyone has his or her own worst earworm.(okay this is a cop out... mine is the theme from "The Friendly Giant") Chili's "Baby Back Ribs" jingle. "Who Let the Dogs Out" "We Will Rock You" Kit-Kat candy-bar jingle ("Gimme a Break ...") "Mission Impossible" theme "YMCA" "Whoomp, There It Is" "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" "It's a Small World After All"

Ohhhh you French guys with your berets and cheese and over sized phallic shaped loaves of bread........ bless your wee hearts. Everybody knows that there is no language as dead sexy as Modern Scots. We can say things like " ohhh baby" and "you are a bonny fine lass with a bonny fine bum" and I swear the shivers will make ya tingle. We don't rely on pencil thin moustaches and refinement. We are a dead sexy race that can butcher pretty near any language with our rolling brogue. THAT's what makes us sexy... and our willingness to show our bandy legs in kilts. Evidence of our willingness to butcher the English language can be found here... http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gowf That's right... it's an explanation of Golf written in modern Scots. Now let's hear you complain about things like "hobbyist" vs "hobbiest." heheheheeheh

Okay... someone said the magic words... Monica Bellucci. I would vote for pretty much any movie pairing with her, for example: The Last Supper, starring Monica Bellucci and a tablecloth. The History of Bread, starring Monica Bellucci and quick active yeast. Heart Surgery, starring Monica Bellucci and a still beating organ. yet I digress....

Well here in the Shire, it is spelled Hobbits.....

Well it was October 11, 1967 when the Penguins opened their arena with a loss to Montreal... and 43 years later... the Habs win the last game in the same arena... bookends. GOTTA LOVE IT HABS WIN HABS WIN HABS WIN!!!!!!!!! carry on...

Damn... this list could get LONG. 1. Swedish berries. I put them in a bowl and they evaporate. I am sure of it. 2. Hagen Dasz - Caramel Cone Explosion - you have to eat it all at once or it will just melt... and that would be bad. 3. My homemade nanaimo bars... double stuffed and with double the chocolate. The best feeling you can have without getting nekkid. 4. Spaghetti Puttanesca.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Additional Comments: Can we expect you on Sparks Street between the 24th and 27th of June (RIBFEST!!!!!!!)??? We could use your sword for crowd control Lindsay...

The greater link to the industry is the fact that the "charity" was purportedly stealing money from genuine AIDS organizations. Forget the fact that two agencies may or may not have been sullied or slandered in the allegation; if the charges are true, 15-16 million dollars that could have been used to assist in finding a cure or at least a viable remedy have been diverted for the amusement of the unscrupulous. AIDS is the shadow under which this industry exists; more than that, many of us have seen or are forced to see friends and family succumb to this disease. I can say without trepidation that my own family is witness to this disease, my brother is in the terminal stages and his partner fell victim a few years ago. That's the bigger picture... $15 million could have gone a lot farther than Vegas vacations, home improvements, booze and tax shelters.

I agree and wholeheartedly support your post Meg. There is a caveat however... before you can appreciate how wonderful a Mercedes is, you really need to ride in a 1978 Ford Fiesta, a 1984 Lada or a Mercury Bobcat. Before you can appreciate the wonders of a Chateauneuf du Pape, you really need to compare it to a Baby Duck, Moody Blue or a Lonesome Charlie. Steve Miller once said "You know you got to go through hell, before you get to heaven." CERB is like that. You can't appreciate the wonderful community we have here without having seen what is on the "dark side." I have seen it... been horrified by it... and I am so happy to be here. So let's raise a glass of Bollinger's in the back of our Bentley and toast the finer things in life!

I just saw it.... ummmm.... I got nothing.

While I agree with Riley about the online searches, it must be known that Ottawa International Airport is not the in the same league in terms of choice as Pearson in Toronto. I found that out very quickly after moving to the capital after a number of years in the GTA. Delta airlines is probably your best bet, their hub is in Atlanta. Pete is right about Syracuse though... and you can catch a bus from Ottawa to Syracuse daily... from there it is a short jaunt down to Hotlanta.....
