Why would you resent being called "from Brantford"? It's not like you can choose where you were born.

The first Vonnegut I read was Hocus Pocus and it got me addicted, so I'd definitely recommend that one. Also, if you like the collection of random writing style of Wampeeters... try Palm Sunday.

If you guys want semi-locally (Brantford....and yes, there's alcoholics that work there, but they do good work!) made roadcases I know a person.

half the people in here are alcoholics from places like Brantford...thats all i have to say about that.

I am not an alcoholic, I never get the shakes any more! Now if only I could find me some of that workahol.

I'm sorry for causing a kerfuffle! I just remember when the big music store downtown changed over...i was kinda sad and i don't play any instruments.

A whole box of free Relix?!?!

Oh my god, just think of all the 'heady colour'.

Didn't Waterloo music get bought by Long and McQuade's a few years ago?

But congrats on the new job. Retail's fun, especially if you like the product you deal with and the people you work with.

Oh, and how can I not make a nod towards America's overt sexuality. America....FUCK YEAH!

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy American lit. Simple diction and prose expressing profound ideas. Humble, useful and often funny.

Hey bokonon, I think we're the only 2 that read BOOKS on here..

And I think I know where you got your username.. I just finished reading Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s Cat's Cradle, and I loved it!

It was both hilarious and insightful..

Another kudos to my dad for giving me yet another amazing book from his collection.. I'm ready to start another book by Vonnegut: Wampeters Foma & Granfalloons!

I give you six months until you're an official member of the Humanists of Canada.

The first time I read Vonnegut I was pretty young, (grade 8 maybe) and one of my teachers wanted to take my book away from me. I thought it was pretty funny given the fact that Vonnegut makes a lot of fun of book-burners.

Happy B-day! You kinda look like YATS. And that pic has got to be Frontier Town...the grouping of trees and porta-potties looks so familiar.

funkin' shoes?

Caution Jam outside with mushrooms=happy bokonon

Sorry, I'm a tad grumpy this time of year.

Thats shitty, Its sunny as hell and +12 here today. Lovin it. I'll be havinbeers on the deck and bbq'n this weekend if this keeps up thbe way it's supposed to

Fuck you, you fucking fuck! It's grey and shitty where I'm at today. I've had a cold since October and my skin's so pale I can see my veins...all of them.

Monorail Cat. Back by popular demand yo!

Revolution created with no paraphernalia.

That's a very old argument and i don't buy it. Awareness can be achieved through means other than paraphernalia.

i don't know what your talking about here. i mentioned several paraphernalia free methods about 2 or 3 posts ago.

Exactly. My point is that Earth Hour paraphernalia is counter-productive.

i miss monorail cat

Yeah, me too.

Best. Diet. Ever.

That's a very old argument and i don't buy it. Awareness can be achieved through means other than paraphernalia.

The marketing shit was all on a black background with a big blue "60"and some small white writing at the bottom. I saw t-shirts, flyers and billboards. And I live in a small town of eleven thousand.

Snow's almost gone in So On.

I also find the hatred odd. 3. .08 is not that much. I think it's an asinine thing to do' date=' but people don't realize how little you can drink and get to .08. [/quote']

He registered .14 and he was fucking speeding through a neighbourhood at 2:00am. What were the cops thinking by arresting him?

If you've ever read or seen any interviews or even read his lyrics, you'd know quite clearly the guy is a fucking scumbag. He also has his own record company and the criteria for artists under his wing is that they have to collaborate with him whether they want to or not; thus, every band will sound just like Nickelback - I'm looking straight at you Ian Thornley, formally of Big Wreck. I'm telling ya, that's all part of his master plan: to infiltrate the world with bad nu-metal.

I must admit that I didn't read the article before posting, so I must agree that he was driving like an asshole and deserves to be tried. However he has not been found guilty yet, according to the article. It's just that unconstitutional evidence (the police officer had the driver blow in his face as a breathalyzer test) has been allowed to be submitted at his trial (which was scheduled for Wednesday) I still stand by my statement that .08 is not that much. (But I still think it is a good legal limit, I do not condone drunk driving)

As for his business and his music, if you don't like his policies don't work with him, if you don't like his music don't listen to him. We don't all need to be super-heady, indie loving, experimental jamband freaks, do we? Some "hippies" are just as insular and exclusive as loft-living yuppie dinks.

You know what I think is ridiculous? All the posters and t-shirts and billboards created to promote earth hour probably caused more pollution than the paltry amount conserved by turning off the lights for an hour. All Earth Hour achieved was green marketing. It was completely counter-productive.

No, those are his girlfriends.
