Every house on our street has had something marked on the grass. Red and blue paint, no flags and no idea what it’s for. Now you have me curious. How would one go about finding out who marked and why?

They mark where the utilities run underground. The different colours are for like water/gas/electrical or something. The contractor doing the work for Telus (Brudco) put postcards in everybody’s mail slots saying they’re installing fibre and will be causing some damage to lawns and they promise to put it back to normal after. Where they’ve dug so far they’ve covered with plywood and surrounded with yellow tape. Different area, but this basically explains it:
https://www.calgary.ca/citycouncil/w...am-update.html
For anything else, may be doing other upgrades. We have some marks on the road and sidewalks. Maybe related to the Telus upgrades, or possible / hopefully fixing the sidewalk cracks.

Where's the best place to find graphic t-shirts now? I used to be a big fan of Threadless, but their quality has gone to #### in the last few years. Any other sites with decent designs that last longer than a few months?

Almost every T-shirt printing company out there eventually cheaps out on shirt quality. It's so stupid.
I mean even that guy in Calgary who does old school franchises like the 88's and Cannons on T-shirts. Amazing idea, happy to pay $35-$40 a shirt for the best quality T-shirt, but nope let's charge less and give you those BS shirts that shrink and misform after one wash.

When there is a bench clearing brawl in baseball, do the interpreters get involved if the team has them? Do they just sit on the bench and watch it go on? Do they give back up to the guy they interpret for?

I’m aware; Greg Proops tweeted that he was at his hotel drinking a beer with SportsJunky.

What happened to all the gophers in Calgary? When I was a kid they were everywhere and that patch of grass at the intersection of Deerfoot and 16th seemed to be their capital. Now I never see a gopher. Were they killed off by some sort eradication program or naturally by predators?

it's the economy. We don't have many rats, so the poor have to eat something.

They all moved to the Nanton golf course. Too many of them on the course.

Every single point Keanu Reeves makes during the end of the Replacements is fundamentally incorrect.
“Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever.”
1. Pain very often does not heal.
2. Your lady doesn’t like looking at the remains of your shattered tibia.
3. Almost immediately, nobody cares.

Why did all the servers in the 90s pour water out of the side of the jug? Use the spout, you dopes.

Ice cubes plugged the spout. Do it from the side and no issues.
