"popo,,weenie" !!!! it'll be as incomprehensible to the rest of the world as she is to us!!!

too obvious, n'est-ce-pas? shouldn't a rip-off be thinly veiled, like "What the Lightening Heard" or the "Burly Young Sucks"??

other tricks for keeping a good degree of humidity in the air: leave the bathroom door open when showering after a bath, leave the water in the tub overnight

and just so you can really share in my mental image, I mean of course lumpy asses in tight spandex pants! sorry to hijack your thread, Rev, but I'm procrastinating my marking today!

See, I guess it's just the image "Welfare Mothers" brings to mind: saggy tits, lumpy asses, runny mascara, and a hacking smoker's cough, aint very sexy to me whereas...divorcees and MILFs...mmmmhmmmmm....bring it on!!! what kinda crowd you hoping to attract Rev?

oh my god! this just made my fucking day!!! he reminds me of Jeff Spiccoli (wonder if he can do the shoe to the head thing as good as you Booche???) you know, despite the wonky bike handlebars, this seems like a pretty good deal. But if you read closely, you realize you also have to take on 2 nemeses as well as...."some tension with a former ex from a painful breakup which must be inherited."

that is excellent. I put all my votes on this one. fwiw, Aaron, I think The Welfare Mothers is in extrememly poor taste, even if you are going for any kind of irony. can someone with more time/talent link that hilarious thread on band names here...I thought there were alot of gems in there!

what a memory trip!!! thanks for that link!

Hey meggo, I too dreamed of the little hobby farm thing. but damn, my bubble burst when I realized just how much damn work they are, not to mention the grime and the smell and the mucking out of stalls/pens. So no goats, chickens or llamas for us, I'm afraid. And actually, I could barely keep up with our little garden (it too felt like a chore on most days, rather than the meditative peacefullness I was hoping for.) Maybe if you didn't have to also have a paid job, a hobby farm could be an actual hobby. Or maybe some folks make it work because they're far less lazy than I am So my solution was to be surrounded by farms and enjoy them vicariously. And as for the "music store" aspect, marry a musician, keep musician friends close, teach your children, and the live music will never stop!!!

ahhhh...I just answered my own question, by pulling up a track listing.... #9 Gnik Nus

happy day!!!

that weird backwards vocals just before "something in the way she moves..."......what's that? we got this over New Years and totally forgot about it....thanks for the reminder. We're into the third full rotation, with new aural discoveries with each listen !

oh yeah...forgot about that one...a definite plus!!! (I just have to wait past spring until the neighbour's trees have some cover for my cover )

I think the answer to this Q definitely depends on where you are in your stage of life... Once upon a time I thought I would never want to leave the downtown Toronto core....loved the city life, esp the multicultural aspect of TO for events, food, etc. After 12 years or so and our babies growing into kids (not to mention watching during the Harris years the city get 'ugly' and less caring....more homeless and psychiatric patients on the streets, seemingly more violence and a feeling of disconnect between the 3 million of us sharing a city), the lure of the countryside (where I was raised myself) became too strong. So we looked at farms in SE Ontario, but quickly realized we couldn't cope with such isolation and bleakness, so we settled in a village, 30 minutes from OTown and now we have the benefits of small-town life (slow pace, neighbours you know, one little main street with small, local businesses, lots of forest, fields & a river for canoeing, public school, community centre, youth drop-in centre)*** with the city a short drive away. I started off by saying that choices/needs DO change, but I also think that one's own childhood often has a bearing on where folks end up settling mid-life. (sorry in advance to all of you raised in the 'burbs! ) ***actually I realize that the same feeling of neighbourliness CAN be had within city neighbourhoods; so the big dif is really the proximity of undeveloped land/nature, quiet, fresh air, etc. seems to me most of us need BOTH experiences...either settle in the countryside and drive in to the city on weekends for a bit of "culture"/excitment or vice versa....live in an urban environment and use your weekends to escape to saner, greener, cleaner spaces.

does your brain function like a spreadsheet? I'm just curious, because I think I would describe my own cognitive/organizational abilities as a pot of soup, spilled upon the kitchen floor and running in many directions at once.

yeah....like the next time she has a psychotic freak-out like that, it'll be his bird she'll be coming after with those scissors!!!

doesn't the 'oomph' go inthe morning shit thread?

I reeeaalllly like popping zits, most preferrably on someone else. If I'm talking to someone and they have a big juicy whitehead or large blackhead, I'm driven to distraction and can barely keep my hands to myself!!! Once upon a time I thought my calling was to be a dermatologist, paid to pop zits all day long! Sadly I learned it was more about injecting botox and collagen, and I have a 'thing' about needles. (I guess that totals THREE useless facts)

yeah...I kept thinking about our neighbour when reading through that link. I think he'd be pissed off to be considered part of a 'movement'...he was really just a selfish/self-interested bastard...that being said, I did recognize his usefulness as an urban forager in such a huge and wasteful city as TO....he booted around on his bike around Forest Hill areas on garbage days, collected good stuff, then proceeded to have almost 24/7 weekend-long garage sales where he pulled in almost a grand each time. So yeah, he was living off the spoils of a spolied group, but unfortunately did not embody the altuistism that these Freegans seem to. I also imagine these Freegans to be our modern day 'gatherers' (and who knows how hard-wired into us that drive is), but I can totally imagine the thrill of a good discovery! btw Stone Mtn...totally apropos quote...well done!

popo I hope you know, know that we do appreciate you for real I,m not sure what else would wake my brain up more than some of your comments taken before coffee I,m not sure what else would wake my brain up more than some of your comments but, once,, with a New year,s hangover you made lots of sense, like sense in the head, as I need more cheers to you popo and your inimitable style (try though we did...that style is yours alone!!!)

happy birthday Trev...always a treat to party with ya!!!

Is it possible to vomit poop? It is not possible unless the person is suffering from some extremely rare condition or disorder. someone better tell the good residents of South Park. (Though I'd hate to deprive their Martha the pleasure of shoving that turkey up her ass, or "introrectrogestion".)

BB....this last post of yours was one in a thread that was going strong when I first joined the board, and I really didn't know what kind of crowd I was falling in with!!! :grin: :grin:

been there! in our car it's either kids or gear...and sometimes the grown-ups really do need to play by themselves!!! however, it looks like I, and therefore the girls, won't be making the trek this time after all (ducks from Deeps' virtual-thrown pair of dirty socks) so stay in touch with Dave y'all and there may indeed be a way to get you there.

teacher marking & planning, 24/7 it seems (couldn't you have guessed based on your observed behaviour of Meggo?) how come nobody knows what "FANBOYS" refers to in a thread about conjunctions?
