This is why it's a bad idea to carry large, open, unsecured buckets of paint in your car

FAIL!

[Cliche]

Observation from an evening C-Train, after all of the MTL fans had left to go to the dome.

Business guy on crackberry is pretty normal.

Dude carting flour? is also pretty normal. (4 bags of 10kg flour? Robin Hood on it, may have been actual wheat to grind?)

Mallrat with an ipod also normal.

Art student wasn't so normal, but hey, he's doing sketches of the other passengers, so I guess he's working on his body and form. (interesting that he had his portfolio? with him, looked like it was filled with the day's assignments.)

Usually the second car of the C-Train is usually a panacea among a sea of humanity, which usually avoids the busy bodies because they must be first, and let you know about it, and the crack-heads in the back.

Some days I think I'm too paranoid about Transit, and other days, not enough.

Yes some of it is me not wanting to date someone who has 15+ people running around the city that can hold "Hey, I plowed your girlfriend" over my head. Most of it has to do with the healthy risks involved.

I guess I have no chance with you then

I'm not a fan of fruity teas either. I do like chai teas though. And Tazo has an amazing black and green tea that usually only available around Christmas time. It's got a really smooth flavour.

I've weened myself off of sweetening my tea these days though. Hot at least. Iced tea is kind of gross unsweetened.

I hate fruity tea. I only drink black tea, and preferably this one kind by President's Choice (it comes in an orange box and the tea bags are in gold foil). Premium orange pekoe, or something like that.

I'd recommend King Cole orange pekoe tea, it's what my grandmother from New Brunswick drank all the time when I was growing up and it is my favourite tea.

Same! My grandma still sends me boxes of it all the time. Its possible that its available out here, I've just never had to check because she still sends it.

It seems like all the grocery chains in Ottawa carry it. But I'm guessing in Calgary Sobey's should have it since they are big on carrying stuff from Atlantic Canada. I've actually picked up their green tea recently, which is something I'd never seen before, but I have yet to try it.

No, not all men would. Some of us do believe in honour.

That conversation from last night was really interesting. I don't know about anyone else, but I think that the number of diseases a person has is far more important than the number of former partners they had. I'd never judge anyone, male or female, for enjoying an aspect of life we have been programed to enjoy. I suspect that for a lot of guys, the disdain for girls who have had several partners has more to do with performance anxiety than anything else. The more experienced a girl is, the less likely one is to blow her mind.

Ultimately, if you find someone you want to be with, and they had 10, 20, 50, 100.... former partners, what that means is that you proved to be better than 10, 20, 50, 100... people in your partner's mind. It seems a silly reason to dismiss someone as being potentially compatible to me, but everyone has their own standards, and everyone has the right to set them as they so choose.

Would have been pure win and scared the hell out of the other driver had it been bright red paint.

There are too many "non-random" thoughts invading this thread.


Does Valentines Day falling on a Saturday result in fewer deliveries of flowers? Does it affect overall sales? I mean theoretically, folks should have plenty of time to visit stores and pick up gifts without needing to rely on delivery. If there were no flowers available, what would be the replacement gift of choice?

chocolate

I'm on prescription meds for a wrecked knee, and I'm high as a fu*king kite. It's been a while since I've felt this good.

woooooooooooooo

[bigtmac19]

I want some of that! (without the wrecked knee though)

I can definitely picture William Shatner singing that (or Stewie Griffin).

[Tron_fdc]

People keep asking me to share my meds........so how do I say this politely?

Go urinate into a fan. While you're at it, stand too close.

I suspect this picture will make Leaf fan as happy as they've been since, at least, 1967.

I friggin' hate getting flowers.

Give me chocolates and I'll love you forever but what can I do with a flower?
