Best post I've read in a loooong time.

My sincerest condolences, friend.

Depends on what you consider actual proof. There are several references to him outside of the bible, enough to convince mosy experts that there was an historical Jesus.

As I understand it, Jesus was born in the summertime but the date was selected because of a pagan holiday that nobody wanted to give up, so they just changed the focus of the pagan holiday to be Jesus' birthday.

I think this is great news.

Try and think about the fact that in Japan or Norway these shoes cost less than a day of work.

Dual citizenship is an asset, methinks.

People want products so other people make them. The people that want the products pay for them. Products are made because people want them and buy them, so consumerism begins and ends with the consumer. No consumer, no consumerism.

It's okay to pay whatever you want to pay for anything. Consumerism begins and ends with the consumer.

Thanks for volunteering man. I was almost volunteered into it. Good on ya.

I'm a sucker for irony, and I think of this possibility often when I pass flowers on the side of the road.

I think the board needs a Slip forum. Quickly.

Ouch.

Despite recent rumbling on the subject, it seems the great Dancing Bear who started the fun is currently MIA. Time is getting on if we're to have the exchange again this year, but if someone is willing to organise it soon it could fly again. Any takers?

I guess I don't remember the most recent one at all.

The Real Gone Daddies are a real treat. Good band all 'round. Some of you may remember them from the most recent Canada Day party.

I lie awake at night dreaming of severence packages. Now I will split my time between that and dreaming of paid sabbaticals.

Does anyone know if they still do that in Moncton?

Get your tomatoes and rotten eggs at the ready: The new Billy Talent cd is good.

Is your provider really called cia.com? If so, you shoulda known you were screwed from the get go.

Paisley - I was there for 28 hours, 429th in line (they took the names of the first 1,000 to guarantee them good tickets). I also remember one point around 7am realisation dawned on me that the packed lineup had bumps in it, and I (along with about thirty others) was on a bump. I managed to reach down and find that we were standing on a car. Shoulder to shoulder, the lineup went over (and not around) cars. It was like I woke up there.

I would LOVE to see Joe Jackson.

Esso supreme is people!
