but that's the thing ... more often than not, the mosh pit spontaneously emerges. it's not something that you go in to. ive been to a number of shows over the last few years where the band has either stopped playing, or has scolded the crowd for moshing. buzzkill? maybe. but it ensures the safety of those sweet pretty things that camped out all night to get up close. if I was a sweet pretty thing, the last thing I'd want is a big smelly guy shoving his way up next to me so he can slam his wasted friend's head with a beer can and then have him turn to me and burp "what's your problem, honey"?.

Most welcome. My speciality.

didnt Bush say he could impose democracy on Iraq? seems simple enough. ive just recently gotten into some new research on public perception of various healthcare financing structures: public, private or a mix. still in the design stages, but a cursory review of some of the lit im looking at seems to indicate that generally people want to maintain their own personal abilities to choose how they/we pay for healthcare, prevent others from choosing if those others' choices negatively impact their own choice, and at the same time be able to rely on the public saftey net. in other words, give me everything I want, but dont give anyone else anything I would have to pay (too much) for. from a policy perspective, that's a difficult set of preferences to navigate, so we are looking at ways to establish finance preference equilibria. fun stuff.

ive ordered things via MT in the past which supposedly came with free subscriptions to Rolling Stone, free calendars, etc. and they never arrived. this is the same company that requires you to create an entirely new account every time you order tickets or schwag from a different artist. simply put, MT doesnt have its act together. personally, I wouldnt hold my breath waiting for the CDs.

unless you are taller than 5'3" and/or have legs

I bought a mug at Starbucks (yeah, I know, boooo, hiss, screw you) a couple of months ago. The pricetag said $US 10.50 / $Cdn 14.50, but they only charged me $Cdn 12.50. I paid and hightailed it outta there thinking they'd made a mistake ... Start the Car! ... Turns out a large number of retailers are automatically adjusting their price differentials and there was an article in the Globe about it last week (looked, can't find it). Some greeting card stores are now actually charging the US price in Canada.

this would have been a real treat. two of my favourites! thanks, AD.

... goin' down the road feeling self-conscious

Please AD, you've been suckered. Bush barely had a C+ GPA at Yale, and his admission to Harvard was to avoid real military service and was entirely facilitated by his father's influence. And no, he's not 'more educated' than several people reading this.

millions would disagree

Hang Seng is a bank, not a person. And the Hang Seng Index is a related measure on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Regardless, Sheratons have never been Canadian, so why would it matter who owns the hotel now or their nationality? Is it the union's intention to draw attention to the fact that the hotel is owned by a Chinese company, and if so, why? Or, is this just picketline banter, with a rather troubling undertone?

a gift certificate to home depot. ever so unimaginative, yet ever so useful.

um, i dont understand what this 'china company' is, and exactly how it is related to sheraton. fwiw, i like sheraton's and often steal the little shampoo and conditioner bottles.

especially telling is how the "suit" casually strides past ... business as usual ...

LOL! nice one Kev! while I can understand why some people dont want to give up on the idea that God created all of us, the thing that most baffles (impresses?) me about denialists is how successful they have been in getting the public to question global warming.

other reports now are that he died of a heart attack yesterday while canoeing in Algonquin Park ...

The Guelph Mercury is reporting that Ken Danby has just passed away. Still in development. A sad day if this is true. I have this print in my office and Im looking at it right now ...
