Well people in my country have been making tourtieres and perogies since the 1600-1800's. But very very few people here would consider them "canadian cuisine" because they AREN'T, despite the number of people of Slavic and French descent we have living in Canada. We DO have an amazing banquet of INTERNATIONAL cuisine to choose from though, and I'm quite happy that we do. Donairs are highly popular here too, but I wouldn't dare to claim they were Canadian simply because some restaurants in the Maritimes have been making them for over 100 years lol.
In any case, I hope everyone enjoys the Olympics in the spirit for which they are meant : )

well thankfully, despite the houdini prop, folks can still READ it, at least. I think that's a huge credit to the moderator(s) for recognising that the majority of the blog was TERRIFIC.
Excellent postings for the most part, but as usual some people chose to pick on other people personally, simply for posting in some cases, rather than commenting on the statements themselves. If people have "personal" differences with certain posters, then they should in most cases send them a private note instead of ruining an entire blog that they probably had very little interest in to begin with.
Despite attempts at "hijacking", it's not as if ANYone is (in general) invited to comment AT ALL on blogs (especially not if they're going to be snarky - why don't they start their own blog if they don't approve - or at least change the channel?). So daver gets punished (AGAIN) because of a minority of participants - not fair.
All is supposedly ok in "love and war" when it comes to the battle of the sexes (in general), but perhaps when it degenerated/got more specific as to cultures/religions might not have been the best idea ~~~. I though Daver handled all that quite well, all things in perspective.
Pity/petty. Use whatever word fits best.
Either the "method" of blog editing/control here has to be changed (as in purging specific responses rather than an entire blog) or folks who are genuinely entertaining should just post a link (in private mail if necessary to abide by rules) to a REAL blogger page elsewhere. I would certainly join several of them.
Rant over. Am sure you've all assumed I've already had a scotch or two, but alas, the bar is bare : )

No such assumption (I try **very *hard* not to make them; that's why I can read half the books I do)

This must be rectified, immediately! Garcon! Please, fill Jake's stem to the brim.
I think the individual blogs, had a feature that allowed editing and prior approval of posts. If those features were available in the virtual blogs most of the issues would go away. But, in my opinion, it would spoil a great deal of the fun ;-)
I don't understand the lock thingy, why not just get rid of the closed blogs?

lol too funny Morpheus. I suspect there are several folks who would prefer that I was um.. "sedated" LOL
Not sure about the lock thing either, other than to "show"/give example as to why things get closed down, or perhaps (since I'm a hopeful pragmatist) to allow Daver to retrieve/save worthy postings for some other use.
Oh.. and if the 'bar is bare, he's not very fuzzy wuzzy is he? lol (sorry, couldn't resist)

Sedated,Jakeroo? Not you I hope. Your posts on that thread were an absolute joy of wit and moderation. However, as to private messages - I received them (unsolicited) by, I think, the second page, from the very people that now claim that they were being 'oh so nice and just having fun.' I was pointedly told, in as many words to "clear off." You might imagine my response. Well, you saw it, hec-hec-hec-
Sorry to butt into your blogg Morpheus. :)

I fall down sometimes, like everyone else (one example--on literature--the library sent me a book on Nakita Khruschev, [you know, the former Soviet leader] and It was all I could do not to throw the book out the window)
I later (out of sheer boredom, mind you) listened to some of the book (I had a **real *fit* when I learned it was 38 hours long) and found the style of writing to be quite good (plus, you really can't believe all those stereotypes of people popular culture [or public school] teach us)

Wow a hundred posts for a 'tribute to advice for bachelors'. Not to shabby.
I'm taking bets on how long this friendly 'he said, she said banter' takes to deteriorate into the cage fight of the sexes and one 'friendly' pulls another 'friendly's' lungs out
through their nose. Any friendly wagers? |

There's actually such a thing as a friendly wager?? They might start out that way, but in real life I've never seen one with a happy ending ~
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye ... or a lung ... or a pickup truck LOL

*Staggers in... plops down in large, over-stuffed leather chair... tosses crutches across room*
Oh. Sorry, RJ, I didn't see you sitting there. Well, just scooch on over, there's plenty of room for both of us. Just let me elevate my left leg... there now.
So. We need to have a little talk. Do you have ANY idea the completely bizarre chain reaction dominoes effect your very own ankle injury has caused? At least yours kind of made sense -- if you spend enough time in a corral with a horse, you're going to trash your ankle eventually. Tearing tendons and/or ligaments is just a given. I'd be watching those hooves, too, but maybe you already know about that, and have found out the hard way what a well-placed hoof to the groin can do to a man. I cringe thinking about it.
But where was I? Oh yes, the ridiculous number of ankle injuries occurring shortly after yours. It's insane. I think I was next, and I've been down for the count for a good, hard month. I did a magnificent Lucy Ricardo/Rob Petrie slip in my kitchen. Bare feet + wet ceramic tile floor = wild slippage. Add a tea kettle full of boiling water, and you've got mayhem. I tried so hard not to let any of it spill, while also trying to save my entire left leg while my right leg stayed in place. I was unsuccessful. Nothing is broken, which may be the bad news. Just strained, not sprained. But my wonky SI joint is out, out, out and no matter how many times they put it back in, it just won't stay. Add a really angry sciatic nerve to the mix, and you've got radiating nerve pain alllll the way down my left leg to my toes, and now heading up my obliques. UP is just SO wrong. Needless to say, I am not happy.
I know for certain one more of your former teammates sprained her ankle and is/was on crutches, and I know there is also one I am forgetting, but I blame that on pain and pain meds. Plus, I've been gone so long crying in the dark, who knows who I've missed? For all I know, half of us are either playing injured, or are on the DL and are on the bench, at best. I haven't even been able to stagger to the bench. If I could rip my sciatic nerve out of my body, I would do it right now, but apparently, we need that little darling in order to walk and do other important things. But a nerve the size of your thumb is just wrong. And not my thumb, mind you -- your thumb. That thing is HUGE.
So I hope you don't mind, but I've dubbed this Mad Cowboy Disease.
Your friend,
~Elle
Disclaimer: I mean no harm! This is meant to be funny! As funny as serious injuries can be, with lots of pain, pain meds, crutches, surgeries and long, long periods of recuperation. If you do not have a sense of humor, I'd be staying out of the corral -- and the kitchen, too. But I'm convinced Mad Cowboy Disease is contagious! So you've been forewarned!

| Sorry to here about your ankle, Elle. I still have nightmares about mine. A little pain now and then is a good thing. It makes us appreciate our health and having things in good working order. They say most accidents happen in the home. I have never had an accident in my home. Mine always happen when I'm having a hell or a good time being reckless in some sort of arena. Stay well and happy. |

Q. How do you say "hope you feel better" without sounding stupid? A. You don't--but you still have to say it, otherwise you LOOK as stupid as you sound!
And yes, for those who can't tl, I'm kidding... well, maybe a litl. If you count sarcasm as kidding. I do, so... again, if you don't have a sense of humor...
