I think "hot" was and is highly subjective. If it "moves" while watching degrassi does that label you a pervert? I think StoneMTN is pointing me where I want to go, and that is understanding more about the what and the why of attraction to someone you know is too young for you. You may conclude they're too young by doing as Chameleon mentions, having a conversation that snaps you into reality. A friend of mine (29, 30 next month) is dating someone who is 21. Nothing illegal. Same set of drawbacks though on level of maturity. She still lives at her parent's house too. And yet he says the sex is wild partly, I think, BECAUSE she is so young and not because of technique or experience or whatever. Which is why for some people there ISN'T that interest in the maturity, professionalism, ehathaveyou that an older woman might possess. And that in turn leads to Paisley's assertion that if it's nostalgia that causes the lust, it's nostalgia for the time when everything was uncalculated, somewhat risky and generally not all that "good" in the traditional sense. But you just couldn't WAIT until your parent's left the house so you could rub up against someone and make a mess of yourself while fully clothed.

I don't know you but good luck with your path.

I have a question. As males we are, let's face it, programmed to find "young" girls more "beautiful" than "older" or "mature" girls. Those quotes (and any others) can mean whatever you want it to mean. Witness the billions of porn tapes, websites and chatlines that create a fictional encounter with a "teen" and wonder, like I have, how many male teens are actually calling that number or visiting that website vs. men perhaps in their 30s, 40s and 50s. There's an entire undustry built around the idea of "barely legal"....supposing that the girls featured have just passed a magic year after which they're adult enough to display their wares. I don't support child pornography. I think it's categorically wrong in every respect. I believe it's wrong because a "child" doesn't have the wherewithall to know what he/she is doing. I'm sometimes not convinced that two people in their late-20s know what they're doing either but that's besides the point So where does that leave us then? Does finding a young girl attractive make you a pedophile? What is the distinction between saying "she's hot" about a presumed 18 year-old versus saying it about a 14 year old? Canadaian Law says: Which, if you think about it, is somewhat ridiculous in putting two people between 14 and 18 at thee court's whim (as I read it) but not a 36-year old and a 15 year old. I'm looking for some interesting discussion on this subject. Also this could be moved to the POlitics forum if need be moderators.

Shwarma. Donair. Doner Kebap Gyro I was reading an article the other day about Vietnam and the writer was saying that the traditional Banh Mi (sub sandwich) shops are being replaced by sandwich shops that feature shwarma, and are set up by turkish immigrants. This is the case in Canada, in Europe and if in Vietnam then presumable many other places. I like the occasional shwarma but is this a plague? Am I paranoid the way I was when Nintendo came out, thinking the Japanese had planted bombs in them?

Duffman: Hey Duff lovers! Does anyone in this bar loooove Duff? Carl: Hey, it's Duffman! Lenny: Newsweek said you died of liver failure. Duffman: Duffman can never die, only the actors who play him. Ooh yeah!

We had aconsultant here the other day and she was saying she dreaded her next meeting because she was going to have to fire a client of hers. That must be such an odd feeling to have. She was happy to do it, just not looking forward to the inevitable "why?"

It's not worth the trouble IMO. I gave it a few tries and it made me feel crazy in an unfunny way. If it tasted good it would be one thing but it doesn't taste nice on the throat like that other green stuff.

The absolute last row is all that's left. I am still undecided as it's $60 and it's the nosebleeds. But it is snoop.

No Idea how I missed this, but SNDOUBLEOPDODOUBLEGZ is playing at the end of the month with the copkillah turned detective! 01.26.07 - Snoop Dogg w/ Ice Cube @civic centre

I have no idea but I have a feeling it was related to either Evolve or a Slip show. Zero told me about this board and I think MK was one of the first people I met from here.

I really question the amount of positivity for Modern Times. We picked it up last week and all I can say is YAAWWWWNNNN.

Jesus called, he wants his beard back. Happy Birthday.

But again do you KNOW any of them? I have met a list as long as yours but I don't know any of them

To CB's point I have MET a number o celebrities through Bluesfest but can't profess to KNOw any of them. I do now this guy, he grew up next door to me, still get his christmas cards: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0242903/ His biggest role was in Dawson's Creek playing Joey's college boyfriend.

We were talking about this last night. Basically your complaints are valid but try to imagine ottawa without a bluesfest of any kind. Terrible right? And last year more than previous I actually found myself at the main stage more frequently based on the talent booked to that stage. So anything that improves those sightlines and that experience is good. Hopefully a good lineup, decent prices and a strict lawnchair policy will improve things over the site move.

Luke lean over to the girl next to you and say "Like that sideboob? Yeah? Well that's MY sideboob"

Pickled salad mix (carrot, pickle pickles, onions) Also or in place of it, sauerkraut.

Not surprising you'd like a verbose, negative review like that one. One of his biggest beefs is mispronunciation of a Gaelic word? Amateurish. He comes off as one of those blowhard writers with alot of self-loathing who is "resigned" (oh boo hoo) to reviewing concerts instead of publishing his masterpiece. What were the words he used to describe such people? Oh here it is, "self-pitying white people looking for reasons to be unhappy" I guess I'm just saying I don't know what's so impressive about it.

They should had you in charge of writing the menus!

The easy answer is that SCI, RatDog, Buddy Cage and New Riders of the Purple Sage are largely irrelevant now and will probably be as irrelevant next year. Unless any of them are polled on who will be relevant in 2008 when they'll likely respond with their own bands.

Interviewing Brownstein would really round out your first two.

The proximity isn't too bad actually. It's a pretty short walk along Albert to the market. Hell you could post-party in Chinatown if you wanted. Overall I think this is good.

insert cherries flambé joke here? I went once. It was very poo-poo but not all that good really.

Golden. I always thought Guelph was impressive but that was until I visited UQAM one summer. Between Concordia, McGill and UQAM there must be 10,000 beautiful scarved women.
