Yet Paki should be correct... even politically. Doesn't the word "stan" means "land of" in Persian/Farsi? (I suspect they speak Persian/Farsi there). It makes more sense to me to call the people Paki, since it is the "land of the Paki" not... "Land of the Pakistani" because that would make the country "Pakistanistan"

You sound like you may be offering a free personality test.

Come in and sit down, lets talk about you.
This is an e-meter.

It sounds scientific.

I just noticed that if looked at with blurry eyes the Oilers logo looks kinda like a smiling one-eyed mutant. Suits Edmonton well.

There are a ton of ladybugs outside right now, and I just discovered two hanging out on my lamp (I have the window open). I don't know what's up, but they're seriously everywhere right now.

I've noticed them here in Calgary as well. Unusual amount this year. And just a month ago, the city seemed to be infested with wasps.

Damn things built a nest in a crack in my driveway. Emptied a can of RAID in there, they survived and probably mutated after that.

Ahhh, they were EVERYWHERE in Toronto yesterday. It was like a plague.. They kept hitting me in the face and getting all over my clothes. It was a terrible experience. Some type of uprising against grasshoppers, I wager...

I was at my moms place over the weekend. She lives just outside Toronto. I went to go out into her backyard and the back screen door was covered with ladybugs. Tons of them. I thought I was in some kind of horror movie, it really was creepy. They wouldn't go either, I was shaking the screen to get them to flutter off, but they just kept coming back. It was horrible. My moms cats though were foaming at the mouth, they just sat staring at them all... which of course made it all the more creepy. God, cats are the devils children.
