I've only had the symptoms for two days now, if it continues through late in the week, I'll be concerned.

I'm the polar opposite of a hypochondriac, I generally figure that whatever the problem is will go away eventually. The last time I went to the doctor because I was sick was about six years ago, and I had strep throat then. When I was growing up, we switched insurance companies when I was about 12, and the new pharmacist didn't know my parents had a third child until I was about 15, because I never had any prescriptions.

Upon checking, I am running a slight fever. Just 99.6, but I think I'll be monitoring this further.

You can say Welshman, Englishman or sheep-shagger too, though. It's not just the French, it's any NW European that's fair game.

So why can't you say Chinaman or Blackman or Indian(man). Coloured people are just damn sensitive!

Bwhahaha Sjostrom scores, and I left my #24 (Conroy) puck at Woody's Taphouse so my buddy's buddy could use it to win a free gift certificate, and he got rid of the #11 (Sjostrom) he originally had - except we only THOUGHT Conroy scored, and so he wins jack crap!

Ah, the ironing!

I dunno, would it offend you if I called you Asia-Woman?

ASIA-WOMAN, SMOTHERING CRIME BENEATH THE UNSTOPPABLE WEIGHT OF A DOZEN HEAVY WINTER SWEATERS! SCUMBAGS OF THE WORLD, TREMBLE IN FEAR!

Thats fine.. I didnt even mind being called oriental when I was a kid.
A name or title doesn't mean anything, it's how people are treated.

The sweaters are an insult though!

For some reason, this story just makes me laugh.

I completely agree.

There's a certain poster in FoI who, whenever they post, I always read what they say with a posh british accent, so I'm equal parts annoyed and highly amused at whatever they post.

flip · 10-20-2009, 11:03 PM

Is it Welshboy2008 or whatever?

Flamesguy_SJ · 10-20-2009, 11:07 PM

Nope. It has nothing to do with their location; it's more the tone of almost every single post they make, especially when they can find a good "sparring partner".

What do you expect to fight villains with, a perky personality? These are the mean streets of Calgary, crawling with perverts, thugs, and bad winter drivers!

As an aside, I've always assumed your nick is Not Safe For Life. Which doesn't even really make sense, but sense and I are old enemies.

I always assumed it was Not Safe For Life as well - meaning one step above NSFW....and upon googling Urban Dictionary it turns out that there actually is such a thing! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=NSFL

And you clearly have many enemies, jammies - pants, sense....what else could there be?????

GirlySports · 10-20-2009, 11:29 PM

Sweaters would beat no pants in a street fight.

You can say Afghani, Uzbeki, Kazak, Tajiki, but not Paki.

Indian

It'd probably make you go blind, too.

I had an unopened can of coke when they first did the NHL team cans a few years ago, and had planned on saving it to drink when the Flames won their next cup, but the coke wore away some of the can and it ended up leaking all over the place.
