Had to call the cops on them today. Massive fight, complete with punching, choking, wrestling, people getting beaten with shoes. It was entertaining until the fists started to fly. She left before cops arrived, though. Just statements taken. And guess who was back to make up 4 hours later...

An old client of mine runs a small business (it's mainly a hobby for them) making extreme 4x4 trucks - the kind that you see in rock crawling competitions. Their trucks run custom pneumatic suspension systems and they had me build a custom joystick control and display unit for them. I could...

Mashed down by her sports bra. Duh. ;)

A short story and photo from my (almost) home town. Apparently someone got tired of a hole in their road and decided to dress it up in a tongue-in-cheek manner that I found hilarious. Photo here.

I have plenty of moles and I can't use a traditional razor, lest I shear them off. Even the thought of scratching them gives me the creeps. Other than for a brief 3 or 4 day period whilst travelling and I had forgotten my electric shaver at home, I've always used an electric shaver. Used to...

That show has been on here as well and I just don't "get" it either. The voice-over guy has stated a few different times that there have been portions of the procedure that they just weren't allowed to film. ...? Like what? Seems pretty complete to me, other than Tim's secret mash recipe...

You're more skilled than I. Damn things slip and I end up pinching the thinnest sliver of skin in the jaws. :blink:

My mom cooks with beets quite a bit, but only two dishes: borscht and pickled beets. Russians/Ukrainians (at least the ones related to me and living in Canada) eat them. We have a gourmet burger chain that makes an Aussie burger: slice of beet, pineapple (if I remember correctly) and a fried...

A friend and his wife took a 6 week backpacking tour of Europe about 20 years ago. They made sure to purchase clothing items with the maple leaf on them before they left. He said that there was a group of people (some Canadian, most American) that seemed to be travelling the same route as they...

I'm Canadian, and here's my honest opinion. A common joke here is "The US would be a really nice place if it wasn't for all the ******* Americans." Most of the Americans I've met (and I've travelled in the states quite a bit) are BEYOND nice one-on-one. VERY polite, very cheerful, and quite...

If you've heard about the gay Canadian cannibal in the news, a Canadian "beer" company managed to **** up their image because a newspaper ran a picture of the guy holding a bottle of their beer. Their lawyers threatened the paper with legal action. Search twitter for #newlabattcampaign

Friend of mine started out homebrewing - and was very good at it. Some years back his wife had an opportunity to move to a different city - a city with a microbrewery - so for the hell of it he wrote them a letter. He explained that he had been homebrewing for x years, had won y medals, and...

The situation is much the same in Canada. I have 11 and 9 year old daughters, presently finishing up grades 5 and 3 respectively. The education system's focus has morphed from demanding a minimum level of competence (both in student achievement and in teacher performance) to something that...

She did it again yesterday. Damn dog.

We have a pomeranian/american eskimo mix. Yesterday some strange cat used our back garden as a toilet. Some time later we let our dog run around the back yard and she promptly discovered the cat's latrine, which she dug up. She then gingerly removed the cat crap, dropped it on the lawn, and...

Your winter sounds suspiciously like my summer. ;)

This is actually the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812 - when British, local troops and local native bands not only repelled an American invasion but eventually burned Washington. The Brits helped to shape what we've become, so if that means tolerating the monarchy I'm okay with it. ;)...

Medical issues are fully covered* but dental and vision care isn't. ....Unless it's a medical matter in which case it then is. For example, eye exams and prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses are your responsibility. I'm not sure what to expect on Thursday because CSR is a medical...

My kids came home today clutching cut flowers. Naturally my wife asked where they got them. "Tim's [our neighbour] girlfriend threw them on the ground, kicked them, stomped on them, swore, and drove away. Tim then told us we could each have 4." Don't know why I pay for cable. :lol:

Woke up Tuesday morning and had what I thought was a case of typical "morning blur" in my right eye. Everything was just a hair blurry, both distant objects and up close. I wear glasses and I thought that perhaps my prescription changed dramatically...again. I say again because when I was 9...
