Can I fine you for recycling a naive argument?

Perhaps getting drunks out from behind the wheel is a bit more meaningful than stats and rates and percentages, surely nobody can argue with that. I'm impressed that police checked so many cars.

Getting 1 drunk driver off the road is effective. Period.

So there were 140,000 cars checked across the province?

Regarding the numbers in your post there - what are you talking about?

It's passing the buck to say end-users bear no responsibility.

Holy shit you're right!! I never noticed that!! I think Saturday after 5 or Sunday would work best for me Todd.

Todd / other people who want books - let's arrange a time to pick these up from me. Perhaps Wednesday evening? Or sometime on the weekend? No later than that though, please. Jay / whoever else is interested - here's some pics of the couch. There's a little bit of wear on the arm. It's roughly 5 feet long by 3 feet deep.

Also, I have a two-seater brown couch that someone is welcome to if they come and pick it up. Will post pics if there is interest.

Cool, Whitey are you in Ottawa?

ok done, books and poster go to Todd and all the cds go to Yours Truly, unless anyone else wants in on a grab bag of cds.......

OK, clear-out time. I have things to pass along. If you want them, you'll have to come and get them, no mailings or drop-offs. I'm in Centretown, Ottawa. Before January 14 would be perfect. All this is free. Books Rolling Stone Raves : What Your Rock and Roll Favorites Favor (Rolling Stone, 1999) Over the Edge : The Revolution and Evolution of New Rock (Alan Cross, 1997) Medium Rare : Jamming with Culture (Ken Rockburn, 1995) Polaroids from the Dead (Douglas Coupland, 1996) KISS and Make-Up (Gene Simmons, 2001) Music I have a ton of burned CDs to get rid of. I'd rather not throw them away because there is still lots of enjoyment left in them. I'd estimate there's around 100 or slightly more. If somebody wants them I'll put them in a plastic bag and you can come get them. If two people want them, I'll split them up into two bags, etc. Would be great for car listening, cottage, or at home if you still listen to CDs. All kinds of music. Please try to pass along if you don't like the CD or already have it. Know what I mean? Throwing out music is lame. Other I have a still-rolled poster from Mike and Sharon's wedding. Obviously don't want to throw that out, so if anyone has use for it, maybe yours went missing, let me know.

What happened?

I heard that a girl I went to high school who is now a NYC actress performed with Phish last night. I thought this was crazy. Sure enough, 13:26 in the video, she's in purple dancing and singing on stage. So strange. But awesome.

don't worry, still plenty of douchieness with Tissue man

a few NY songs here: http://therealbigrockcandymountain.blogspot.com/2010/12/cheers.html

it's not a definitive list - it's that particular blog's favourite shows of the year. Replace 'blogTO' with someone's name and it'll all make sense. My BEST Toronto show of the year was either Pavement / BSS on the Island, the Kelp records BBQ at the hostel during NXNE (Camp Radio, Hollerado, Andy Swan, The Michael Parks, Chris Page), or Sloan during NXNE. Notice how all those shows were within 24 hours of each other, I think those were the only Toronto shows I saw this year.

Any n00dz?

1. Gather brussels sprouts 2. Discard 3. Eat something un-gross

lots of interesting stuff here, thanks everyone

Bouche, the Barr Bros are listed in that post right above yours. How did you miss that?

I'm moving soon and would like to get HD TV at my new place. I've never subscribed before nor do I own or rent a HD box. Anyone know of any deals / promotions / smart tips to get HD TV for the lowest price possible?

Was it really a lifetime ban?
