Here is but one piece of relevant case law:

You've unnecessarily bumped sandwich up to the Class level, when it really is a genus.
That's like saying, "Look, why do we have to have all of these different categories for animals? Humans, dogs, snakes, they're really all just ducks. Let's just call them all ducks, and then we can break that into sub categories like Humans, dogs, and snakes...oh, and ducks."
This is a beautiful argument.

I think all the fake lakes suck.

It’s pretend nature, it’s exclusionary, it contributes to sprawl. It’s surrounded by McMansions. It’s everything that’s wrong with suburban living. Fish Creek and Nose hill are far better than any lake community.

1) I reject your assertion that your standing as the founding member of the University of Calgary Sandwich Appreciation club, makes you an authority on the subject. As a historian who has extensively researched the history of food culture, I believe that I am adequately educated in the subject to state that here needs to be an amendment to that law presented as evidence that burritos, and other sandwich like substances are in fact not in the sandwich class.

I suggest that the ruling in principle should be upheld, with the amendment that the differences within the sandwich class are broad enough that in some instances there is adequate distinction between sandwich orientation and composition for them to be titled, and marketed as separate entities under the same class.

2) Historically, there has been several changes to the classification system of animals based on new compelling evidence. Tradition is not a justification for bad science! Categorizing burritos, hot dogs, pizza or even more radically the breaded chicken wing as anything different as a class is the equivalent of justifying animal classes should be based on how many arms, or legs a species has, or whether or not it has the full overage of fur, or has a tail, or lives under water. These aesthetic differences can not dissuade us from the similarities within the class. Just as all mammals breath oxygen and are derived from the same ancestor, all sandwiches are easily held and eaten by hand. Although the wrapping and the substance may vary from sandwich to sandwich they serve the same function, to conglomerate several ingredients into a single food class and can be held and eaten with the hand.

Well, first of all, Bonavista borders Fish Creek. Fish Creek is amazing. Second, it's an absolute slap in the face to the very concept of natural beauty itself to write Nosehill in the same sentence as Fish Creek. Nosehill is dead grass, tumbleweed and dog crap. It's a blite on Calgary.

Finally, you're talking to a guy that has artificial grass in his backyard. Pretend nature is the best nature. I like things looking and being perfect. Lake Bonavista is basically perfect. I also love that it is exclusionary. Why would I want riff-raff at my lake? And yeah, the mansions that surround the lakes are something else. I live in a normal bungalow a couple blocks away, though. No mansion for this guy.

I just moved to Lake Bonavista and I have yet to see someone trucking around on a Rascal scooter.

Hey neat, welcome to the neighbourhood!

Yeah, I haven't been driving it around much for the past year. Out of the blue I felt like a total idiot on it one day. It made no sense after years of going everywhere I could with it. I still have it at the ready - I'll charge it up and go for a rip to see if I still have it in me. Otherwise, I may have to pass the torch on to you.

Nope. Not gonna ride a scooter. Although I live about 5 mins from the Arena. It would be neat to roll up to the rink on a scooter with my kid and his hockey stuff.

Always the last candy to be eaten at our house after Halloween.

Well, I do have a matching wagon and I rigged up a trailer hitch so you could do this.

Die Hard is an excellent action movie. But it is not a Christmas movie. Anyone who says it is is overcompensating for their own perceived lack of manliness.

Disagree. I think people who argue in favour of Die Hard as a Christmas movie (it is!) do so out of self-preservation.

If you've got a wife and kids you can only watch Elf, A Christmas Story or Love Actually so many times before the urge to kill elevates to an uncontrollable level and your home resembles the denouement of a Stephen King novel.

Wrong. If they meant for it to be a Christmas movie, it would have been released in theatres in November. It was released in July that year. People also would have talked about it being a Christmas movie before 2013 if it was.

It isn't.

What the heck does calling Die Hard a Christmas movie have to do with manliness?

The franchise has embraced the Christmas'ness of it by the way, releasing it as a book
