happy day mon ami

one day our kids (not yours and mine AD, although that would be one handsome little whippersnapper) will laugh at the idea of a CD store

hippy

what's in a steak salad? french fries and sautéed onions, mushrooms and peppers?

I'd be willing to bet that Crystal could whoop jaimoe's arse in a heat tolerance showdown (not that she'd ever agree to it mind you) Although it might make up for him laughing at me back in highschool coz his sister could benchpress more than me (never confirmed)

that swiss chalet quote is almost signature-worthy

I think he's off to the hospital to get it surgically removed

too funny!!!!

hmmmm, well i do admit it's probably been about 7-9 years since i've had em so maybe the standards have slipped

jaimoe loves Ikea too

I'm surprised that you don't like the Brew Pub's wings, they're among my favourites as for Local Heroes, i prefer the bigger wings to what they call roasters and their sauce selection isn't amazing but it does the trick i officially have a craving now

From the Globe & Mail LAWRENCE MARTIN lmartin@globeandmail.com The last thing the Stephen Harper Conservatives need is Barack Obama. They'll be feeling better knowing that, following one of the most embarrassing performances by pollsters since Dewey/Truman, the Obama express has stalled in the snows of New Hampshire. While the formidable Hillary Clinton is of the old guard, Senator Obama represents a liberal generational shift. As such, he is one of the biggest threats to conservatives on this continent in a long time. He is a movement kind of politician with rare oratorical, inspirational and pluralist powers. Movement politicians shatter the status quo, not necessarily because of their policy platforms but, because of the ideals they represent and their capacity to sell them. Ronald Reagan was the liberals' nightmare in North America in the 1980s. John F. Kennedy was anathema to conservatives in the 1960s. They weren't elected because of bold or innovative ideas. What they brought on - and Mr. Obama is capable of the same - was a renaissance of the American spirit. In each case, the power of words played a paramount role. Ms. Clinton, who is a pedestrian orator, belittles the importance of Mr. Obama's eloquence. Too bad she couldn't consult one of those two late presidents. Or Winston Churchill. Observing the Illinois senator in New Hampshire was to get a sense - the voter turnout there and in Iowa was huge - of the magnitude of his impact. There were so many young people in the lines, more than I had seen at any time since first coming to the New Hampshire primary in 1980. They rose up when he said, "We are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction." That direction, a turning away from the politics of confrontation, could be a boon to Canadian parties of the left. The Obama movement could finally, thankfully, wrest power from the aging and banal baby boomer cohort. Though our Mr. Harper, 48, is post baby-boom, it often doesn't seem that way. Mr. Obama at 46, somehow, makes him appear much older. If the Canadian election, expected this year, comes at a time when the Obama wave is rising, it could be one of the best breaks the opposition parties have had in a long time. It will be easy for the government to look retrograde. Young Canada, in many ways, is what Barack Obama is all about. Young Canada, like him, is diverse, cosmopolitan, internationalist, multiethnic, multilateralist, less ideological, more anti-war. Young Canada, as well as aging segments of the population turned off by politics for so long, has been waiting for someone to light the fuse. He could be the one. Hillary Clinton's win in New Hampshire will make it much more difficult for him to win the Democratic nomination. Mr. Obama's challenge brought her out of her shell - that of a concocted politician. It showed Americans her heart, her appealing human side. It reawakened her old reformist spirit. The picture of the dinosaur in New Hampshire belonged to the Republican, John McCain. He appeared at Dartmouth College. There were about 180 of us in the audience, but I counted only about 10 undergraduates. The 71 year-old senator is admirable for the courage with which he holds his convictions. But, on foreign policy, he comes across as a paranoid American nationalist who would only perpetuate George W. Bush's culture of fear. He said - this is not made up - that the disparate band of Islamic terrorists represent the greatest threat to America in its history. Worse, that is, than Communism, which once ruled about half the world, and Nazism that almost did the same. He and all the other leading Republican candidates are following the Bush code, something that two-thirds of Americans reject. With the economy starting to tumble, the likelihood is that the Republicans will be walloped in the fall and the United States will have its first black or first woman president. Most Canadians will relish the occasion. Our progressive spirit will be reawakened. How delightfully ironic, given that we tend to see ourselves as more progressive than our neighbour, that it will be an American who does the deed.

Breathe into a paper bag, dinghy

my advice ollie would be to sprinkle a little catnip here and there in hard to reach places, turn on some strob lights and smear a little tuna on the ceiling and see how things look when you get back
