Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but my initial reactions are: Who the fuck cares, and the headline of this thread is remarkably insulting. To accuse people of one country as being stupid because they don't know another country's trivia is fucking lame. And yes, the amount of states in the USA is trivial to Canadians. How many states are there in Mexico brainiac? It's part of North America so I guess you should know bokobrainer. The best part of your smug post bokowrong is that I assume you think there are 50 states. Wow, are you fucking dumb. There are 46 states. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Kentucky are not states, they're commonwealths. Fuck.

Yeah, I was on the internet down there too, but always at a business. I never saw a computer in anyone's house.

I'm so envious. It boggles my mind how cell phones have become almost mandatory. They are so entirely unnecessary and yet so prevalent. It was very weird watching people at Langerado. A group of people would walk by and half of them are looking down at their phones and pressing buttons as they walked. Like, dudes, you're at a festival, stop checking your text messages and look around. Cell phones should be used like Tasers should be used. If your life is in imminent danger, whip it out. Otherwise, don't.

I hope they maintain the restrictions on cell phones and advertising.

Is your middle name Tito?

I might just move.

And no, the venue isn't that bad, I just hate it.

I'm not sure phorbesie, but I think not.

Remarkable.

GTB at Zaphods?!?!? Oh, the horror.

Sometimes I feel like running from the Prime Minister.

Hopefully Mr. Chips will still have some tequila left on Friday.

I paid $7 an hour at Cyclos on Hawthorne.

I'm gonna start a moe. cover band and call it moe! I'm gonna be soooo rich....I mean it will be a loving tribute to a band I truly admire and a way to keep the flame burning.

REM seemed to me to be like a lesser Tragically Hip. Let me have it if you must.

Once again, it seems I was mistaken. I thought it was awesome. Where were you Dima? We were left of soundboard. Woulda been fun to hook up.

I didn't get a chance to try the tequila the other night 'cuz I was driving. Sure wouldn't mind a shot when I get back if you can save me some Mr. Chips.

I thought it was a really well done fest.

Jackie Green kept looking like a young Keith Richard to me, while the other dude Campbell looked like a young Neil Young. Great sets.

My first Ben Folds show was on Sunday and it was fantastic. Total energy, quality entertainment. Love him to death.

That made me chuckle. nu-na-nu-na-nu-na-nu

Wow.

I'd like to formally retract all my posts in this thread.

Um, AD you must be aware that here in Canada most people are required to wear a helmet when driving a motorcycle.

Most people consider themselves better-than-average drivers. As always, the concern is not with your driving, it's with those other fools. I know you don't need snow tires, and thus making them mandatory would be irrelevant, but if they were mandatory those morons that don't know how to drive in winter with summer tires would have them, and you'd be safer. By "you" I am referring to all human beings. I'm assuming that those that don't need to use snow tires due to their supreme driving skills are also wasting their efforts by having to fasten that pesky seat belt. And yes, they're called all-season tires for a reason. The same reason ticketbastard calls their charges 'convenience fees.'
