Can we add "Do you have any intention of trying to not be a fat ****?" to insurance forms?
Sure sounds like you look down upon overweight people and see them as beneath you.

Not at all.
I don't look down on anyone for "health" things. Trust me. I've done a lot of stupid things health wise. This is just one thing that specifically struck a chord with me today and it's not a problem with overweight people. It's a problem with society being so "okay" with it while belittling other issues.

He'd love it there.
Funniest thing I've read there this week? Fox News is a liberal news site.
The biggest thing I come away with when reading there? What a life to live, being constantly paranoid, freaked out, full of hate and suspicious about everything, always looking over their shoulder. Hardly ever a word about the life they have to enjoy or their families - just paranoia, conspiracy theories and 'Imma kill you/him/that one.'
Vegetarians who don't eat meat just because it's an animal and then say " It's murder". Yeah it's murder but it's already dead when it's in front of you, if you don't eat it someone else will. Every animal eats other animals.
Sushi is the most over-rated food known to mankind. Yeah it's good, I actually just had it for lunch. But I hate how every conversation about food always degrades to discussing the best sushi in the city. It's seriously just overpriced raw fish and sticky rice. Do yourself a favour, take half the money you usually spend on sushi each month, cut your sushi consumption in half and use the other half to go to quality restaurants that don't sell sushi. You'll be surprised and delighted at how awesome the innovative flavours, textures and different cooking methods can taste.

Name the three best sushi places you have been to, please.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
I've been to almost every sushi place in the city. Name me your top 3 and I would have probably been there.
My top three favorite and the reasons why are:
Sushi club - Super fresh fish, great selection, good service, knowledgeable staff.
Sushi Bar Zipang - See above, although service is slightly worse
Shikiji - Fresh fish, cheaper than the other two, great service, nice selection on the menu.
Some not so high end places I like also include Sushi & Co. and Haru.
I haven't had sushi in Calgary for quite a while, but it always used to be pretty average.
I agree with your first point, unless you're going to really really good places, of which there are few, sushi is generally kind of blah relative to so many other options out there. But that top notch sushi is something special when you find it.
None of mine are in this city. I have yet to get GOOD sushi here. There is some decent and enjoyable sushi. Until you have had good sushi I would say you should not be making the statement you just did.
If you were to modify your statement to something like, "the quality of sushi in this city is not high enough to warrant eating it on a regular basis in preference to other types of food that Calgary does much better in general", I would agree with you - I mostly eat sushi when I go to Vancouver.

OK, so what makes those places better than any of the places I listed in Calgary? I'm curious as to what makes sushi so great in other cities.
8. And On The 7th Day, He Did Not Eat Sushi
Try to avoid eating sushi on Sundays since Japanese restaurants do not typically get fresh fish delivered (and sometimes not even on Saturdays). Quality sushi restaurants are also usually closed on Mondays.
The oil and gas we extract today was around before the dinosaurs were said to have existed, but they are still made from dead organisms that are subjected to intense compression and heat underneath sedimentary rock. That's why they're called 'fossil fuels', not because they were made from dinosaur fossils.
So it's not really an unpopular opinion, you just don't hold the common misconception.
It's safe to say that dinosaurs have had ample time to decompose.
Not just that, though. It's mostly the availability of a lot of good sushi chefs, which creates a high standard for the city as a whole (and also opportunity for people to learn from those chefs, thus creating more good sushi chefs). To succeed as a sushi place in Vancouver that's able to charge $100 per person for Omakase, you don't just have to be good, you have be outstanding, or people will take their money elsewhere. The availability of fresh fish simply creates the conditions whereby this environment can develop, IMO.
I would suggest that Q visit Vancouver sometime (it's a great place to go for a long weekend and only an hour's flight away), and while there, go to Tojo's and let the man cook for you.

I hate to be a food snob, but this this this. The best Calgary restaurant is average fare in Vancouver. The sushi there is an utter delight, and probably one of the best reasons to visit the city.
In Calgary I find most "sushi" places have better soups/noodles than sushi. Proximity to the ocean typically breeds better fish dishes.

I will need to check out Tojo then next time I go to Vancouver. I always like to try the best of the best food so if Vancouver has some of the best sushi in North America then I'm all for it. If the best Calgary sushi is just considered average in Vancouver, then I would say take your money and spend it on some above average food in Calgary rather than wasting all your money on one type of food.
