Yes! Those were the best.

No, but I remember those little tubes of cheese product that squeezed out the side opening. Came in several different flavours. I lived off those as a first-year student in the late 80s.

It's a stupid, inconsequential little tournament but everyone is making a big deal out of it due to current tensions.

At what point does he actually get arrested and held for contempt of court? Ever?

Even aside from his horrible political views, I could never respect an athlete that promotes online gambling. The Great One is no more.

You sound like someone who reposts things without thinking about what they actually say. So. Here we are.

So making him look like a woman makes what point exactly? Feminizing him is funny because...? This is a sexist meme.

How is this funny? What point is it making?

My German cousin was desperate to try marshmallows when she visited Canada. She was puzzled and disappointed.

I didn't watch the speech, did he actually say that? Unbelievable. 😒

I'm not southern, but...collards and ham hocks in the crockpot (heavy on the vinegar) is a little piece of heaven.

LOL, yeah, the pigs are too afraid to cross the street in Lloydminster. No pigs on the north side!

Fury Road is the best Mad Max movie by far and it's not even close. I will die on that hill.

I'm fine with outside temperature being Centigrade, but my oven is in Fahrenheit

Well, the track and swimming events, ect, have to be metric so the athletes can compete internationally. Not so with football
comment in response to
post
I'm finding as more stuff gets custom designed digitally we are using more metric units, but the basic 8.5x11 page isn't likely to change anytime soon.

And even staying in Canada, we still had to learn the old system anyway. I still can't cook in Celsius.
comment in response to
post
I remember being in grade 2 and playing with little coloured blocks to learn the new measurements. It seemed very simple and practical, I couldn't understand why some people were so upset about it. But I hadn't spent my whole life living with the old system.

We still sometimes talk about buying a quart of milk, but it's really a liter. I work in printing, and it's still inches there most (but not all) of the time. I don't even know what carpenters and construction people do.

Kilometers for driving distance (or time, often), but yards for football. Gas in liters, but beer still comes in pints at the bar. Weed can be either ounces or grams depending on who you're buying it from. When cooking we measure food in milliliters or grams, or cups and tablespoons.

We still use a weird mishmash of Metric/Imperial here in Canada. Celsius for temperature, except when cooking. Metric for buying food (kilos, grams, liters), but pounds for personal weight, usually. Kilometers, meters, & centimeters for measuring, but feet & inches for personal height.

Thanks, Charlie. I hope there are other NDP members who think the same. Jagmeet is handing this country over to the Cons if he supports a non-confidence motion. I don't think the NDP should prop up the Liberal government for no reason, but we can't just throw away all we have accomplished. #cdnpoli

Yeah, I avoid reboots mostly. Only watched these because of John Larroquette

What do you think of the reboot? I watched a couple of episodes and it was....OK I guess.

I usually find people are too stuffed to really appreciate dessert. I have a Jamaican black cake (bought, not made), but I'm holding onto it for Boxing Day. If you must do a dessert on the day make it something light like a parfait.

Literally nobody wants an election except PP, why are you gifting it to him? I have voted NDP my whole life and I am definitely NOT a Trudeau supporter, but this is an idiotic move. I no longer have confidence in YOU as the leader of my party, and I think YOU should resign. #cdnpoli

I was 10. There is some audio floating about of that last day when they handed out the koolade, the arguing, the children crying...until they stopped. It's haunting.
