  1. I went to see Public Image Limited (P.I.L.) in Toronto in 2010. I went mainly out of nostalgia, and despite the fact that Johnny "Rotten" Lydon spit on the crowd and stormed off the stage mid-set the last time I saw them in Toronto a couple decades earlier. I didn't expect to be wowed or blown away. To my surprise, I was. John Lydon is charismatic as hell, the musicianship of the rest of the guys currently calling themselves PIL was stellar, and the show was amazing.
  2. I read a judgment today from Ontario Family Court, about such a bitterly fought divorce that the judge actually began the judgment with "Paging Doctor Freud! Paging Doctor Freud!" (It actually just gets better from there, complete with footnotes.)

    It's a thread for his 70th birthday today.

    Happy birthday. (Such a loss.) I'm sure he would be amused at the irony that "stoners" are among his fans.

  6. I think it should be in full force out west by around 11:45 our time. I'll be up.
  7. We've been having a great snow-year thus far, too, and the early-season riding has been really nice.
  8. I was told something seemingly ridiculous, by someone who was supposed to go there over the weekend that: "Collingwood was closed this weekend due to too much snow." What's with that? Pure fiction? (It just seemed a bit ironic for a ski-resort-town if it's true.)
  9. I hear the Senate is wondering the same thing. I also hear that most Canadians are wondering the same thing about the Senate itself.
  10. Sounds like good news for Thanksgiving. Are there any other Thanksgiving songs? I can't think of one. It seems fair is fair, and it's about time.
  11. I had the opposite experience with a dog. She was prescribes skin cream to address the areas that were itching and she was biting. Problem solved thereafter. You should take her to be examined.
  12. Weird Science will always be an icon (and I can only speak for myself, but I really don't think the plausibility of computer technology really has anything to do with it; it's not exactly intended to be science-fiction).
  13. So, you wake up in Yellowknife in December, and you then decide WHETHER you need longjohns or not? Some advice: Between now and about March, every morning when you dress, just figure you'll need them. If you end up too hot one day, you'll survive.
  14. At those temperatures, the least they could do is set a real fire for you to stand next to; both for realism and comfort.
  15. Thank you for commenting on the funeral, PoG. I've been thinking about this all day, and I am sickened I could not get to Toronto for this, and I will be going by the grave to pay my respects as soon as I can. It provides some solace to hear it was a good service, though. Thanks. I've opened this thread a dozen times, and haven't been able to post a thing. (Yes. For the first time, I've been at a loss for words.) I will say this, though: Julia was very special; uniquely so. I will never know another person like her, and I will never forget her. She was a truly good person, and she truly cared. I always knew I would have her in my corner, no matter what (even if I didn't deserve it). She was my friend. I will miss her always. RIP
  16. It's a Hebrew word. It's spelled: (Chet, Noon, Vav, Kaf, Hay). Any transliteration into English is purely phonetic.
  17. Maybe it's because I grew up with a distinct lack of holiday-songs played anywhere in the big media that pertained to me, but to me this never gets old... Happy holidays.
  18. Okay, that was funny.
  19. Next block; maybe a 10-second drive / two-minute walk.
