Thought I’d have this morning to do outdoorsy stuff before the smoke arrived but it’s rolling down from Airdrie with a vengeance.

This morning up here in stinktown is easily worse than it ever was in Calgary all this past week too, there's soot all over my car. Still don't know if it's from the smoke, or just normal Edmonton sludge.

That’s common. Every year after the Oilers are eliminated there’s an ash cloud plume from Rogers Place.

Most teams have garbage bag day. They have dumpster fire day.

Not crapping on your meme; it just made me think how wild it is every single guy got the memo and is following the rule. I can't think of anything else we are all on the same page about to this degree.

My six year old, who is barely tall enough to use a urinal and probably has only done so a few times passed the urinal game with perfect results without any coaching. He even nailed all the reasons why he made the choices he did. Perhaps it’s instinctual.

You haven't been to airport bathrooms then.

Lets just say there are some cultures where this isn't an issue apparently. Also nm the fact of not understanding a locked bathroom door and trying to force their way in.

Just how much and what type of eye contact preceding these events?

Getting a quote for shipping a vehicle within Canada is like getting your balls twisted. Instant quote in fact means give us all your personal information and we will get back to you eventually

Less frequent in the bathroom but this absolutely happens in the scenario they are cars in an empty parking lot. The average person is pretty dumb.

Went to Guardians of the Galaxy the other day and booked 2 seats online. Tons of seating available. When I get to the theatre I like to check the seating availability on my phone to see how full the theatre will be.

Despite over 100 seats available throughout the theatre, some jackass booked a seat immediately beside me. Like who the hell does that?

We just sat a few seats down when we got there because the ENTIRE aisle was empty apart from those three seats.

It was weird.

Was that the new fancy Den? I only went there once. The old downstairs hole-in-the wall nasty-carpet Den definitely never had a trough. The downstairs of the Warehouse did, and, yeah, that was pretty wild even at the time.
