The worst way to pick up girls at the bar is buying them drinks.

if you forgot sunscreen, the powder on birch bark can be used as sunscreen.

putting on deodorant and changing your shirt isn't a substitute for showering.

If you're going out to do some serious drinking, wear the jeans with the button fly.

Dont be... I wasn't speaking from direct, personal experience, and she's better off without the prick anyway. It is comical that he has to lie to his friends about what happened though. The truth would probably cost him his new girlfriend.

To guarantee that you don't walk around with your fly open, cause you were to drunk to remember to do it up. With a button fly, you almost have to pass out at the urinal to forget to do it up.

Which leads me to one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I was at Yuk Yuk's one night and I walk into the bathroom and make the quick left to the urinals. As I'm walking up to my spot, the guy peeing beside me suddenly starts puking all over himself, promptly falls to his knees pissing on himself and puking into the urinal, and then falls face first into the urinal. He got, washed his face and left. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.

You oughta know . . . . . the International Space Station transited just a little south of Calgary at a few minutes after 10 tonight . . . . . I was out in the early evening gloom watching an owl circling my yard at about 25 feet, driving my dogs nuts, when I saw the bright light crossing the horizon, southwest to northeast.
According to NASA's site, the ISS will be back at 11:34 pm tonight and then 1:10 a.m., 10:22 p.m. and 11:22 p.m on Tuesday.

A few years ago, this kind of schedule would appear in the Herald . . . . but it's old hat now.

letting a USED dryer sheet soak over night in water will loosen baked on food so you can clean your frying pan.

thx for the heads up, that was cool.
as for my addition to the things that you should know....
Before Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth had the record for most home runs, some guy named Roger Connor had it. Played for the Troy Trojans, New York Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and finished up with his 138th in 1897 for the St Louis Browns.

Actually, here's something even cooler . . . . . if you compare the ISS schedule with the Space Shuttle schedule just below it in my earlier link, you'll see that at 11:07 pm (ISS) and 11:09 pm (Shuttle) on Thursday, August 9, these two should be chasing each other across the Calgary sky.
Two bright dots that will appear fairly close in the sky but will still be probably, about 891 km apart assuming they are travelling 26,720 kmh.
Cowperson
After that, their transit times are identical as they will be docked.
