That is the song that made me fall in love with Stan Rogers' music.
I can't fucking stand that goddamned long-winded over-played pub-scum chanting Barret's Privateers.
White Collar Holler is GOLD. Thanks for reminding me!

Del - I love that song. One of my all time favs!
How about...
Proud Mary - Creedence
Not hating the job, but similar vein.

I've got a killer beer cap collection

What're the dates again?

Happy b-day shakey
Kayte sends a camping martini your way... ;-)

If you can honestly - and, I mean in the depths of your soul honestly - say that after you burn one you're not impaired...
You need better weed.
Regardless of what the legalities of this are, I know goddamned well that if I burn one and drive that my reactions and thinking process are not as effective as when I'm sober. Whether there's a "test" that can show I'm over a legal limit or not.
I have a really hard time believing that anybody's experiences with the weedo are THAT much different from mine that they can HONESTLY claim otherwise.

No offence Deranger, but I really hope you aren't going down the "more accidents from the sober group" argument. That's about as dumb as can be.
That's as bad or worse than 95% of all accidents occur within a 5km radius of your home.

That's about the first time I've ever heard anyone say that about lawyers...
Have you ever been to Killaloe? That's where the lawyer lives and where the case was. a) there's nothing you could ever hit in Killaloe other than an occasional deer. everyone else there is stoned to the tits so they're all in super mellow mood too.

Far from done on the softwood if they plan on keeping the $5B in tariffs...

The "fill" number they refer to means how much volume in cubic inches one ounce of down will displace. Its essentially a rating of the quality of the fill. The fluffier the down, the more space it will take up and the more heat it will retain in the air pockets.
Down is wonderfully warm for the lightness and will last a long time. However, if you get it wet its useless.
Synthetic fills can provide as much heat retention as down but still keep you warm once wet. This can be a big deal if you're going to be sweating in the jacket or going anywhere over night and risk spilling water on it.
Synthetic fills also are prone to breaking. The fibres can break when they're compressed and lose heat retention. If you're not going to fold up your jacket and compress it into a little ball, this shouldn't worry you. Down can break too, but it rebounds better than synth fill.
Regardless, you're not going to know if this jacket is good enough until you wear it outside. If you're really worried about it, take it back, and get a really good down coat.
I've got a kick ass down jacket which is wonderful come -20 and beyond. BUT, anything above -20 and I'm sweating... and that's a drag too.
You can find great deals on used down jackets on the MEC used gear exchange website.
I have found great stuff there by looking up items that sound interesting then doing an internet search on the company's website to make sure it has all the qualities I want.
Bundle up and winter ain't all that bad!

Those motherfuckers need to have their legs broken and then be forced to work as wheelchair repair men while their legs mend.

I think someone posted a long lost loves thing on here a while back.
Well, I just had my brain pulled outta my ears and served back to me on a silver platter while Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia took turns pounding my head.
Friday Night in San Francisco.
I hadn't listened to this for quite a while and threw it into the cd player en route to work this a.m. I am now a puddle.

give'er!

Busier than a one-legged man at an arse-kicking contest.
Better than a kick in the head with a frozen muckaluck.
Lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut.
Sharp as a marble.
These are a few I've kept for my own use...

Have fun. SJ rock!

Wow - he could sing for the Pogues with teeth like that.

Get an idiot to proof-read for you. Whatever words they don't know have to be axed.

That's the spirit ;-)

I have a hard time imagining this going off. If it does, it should make for some heavy duty comedy.

Just to be a nit-picker...
Not many meteorologists or climate change advocates who know their shit would ever claim that "Global Warming as a theory has been proven, and catastrophic climate change will be the result."

Andrew for Prime Minister.
This is exactly the kind of progressive thinking this country needs to lead it into the 20th century!

I just heard about a place out on Wellington (kinda in Mechanicsville) called the Echo Hall or something like that - started with an E anyhow.
Sounds cheap and fairly central.
Lemme know if it interests you and I'll call my buddy that's doing a party there.
