    Proximity prolixity
    Astute and witty
    A family tree
    beats any country
    And rural beats city

    Love Vancouver, but I'd take Montreal over any city in Canada. Great food, bars, & women. Calgary - you must be joking ! I can name at least 10 big US cities I'd rather live in than Tronna. It's the best it's ever been now though.

    Can one get a "soapy" in Melbourne? With or without the actual soap?

    I ask because one can in Vancouver, sans soap. So that would make it more livable for me.

    ^ you can only play dutch oven under the doona so many times before it gets a bit tedius and depressed

    I have believed that nick cave got his earlier inspiration huddled under his doona , freezing his nads off and producing a bleak melody that resonated with all the other teens rugged up and waiting for winter to pass
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

Folks having kids in the street and dying in ambulances thanks to our enlightened President.
    As the peasants walked three, five, or ten miles yesterday to try to get to work, the government published the APEC daily menu on the front page of the paper.
    Surprised you're online, I'd read in the American media that the entire Philippines internet access was going to be cut off for so called security reasons during the meeting.

    it is one thing for an imbecilic politician to say it

    it is quite another to technically achieve it
