I thought Tingling Thigh syndrome was what you got when you have a book that you can't put down, and you make the mistake of taking it to the bathroom with you.
While everyone is thinking about all kinds of fake fun facts in adulation of this idiot, here's a real one:
Chuck Norris an anti-science religious extremist who thinks that your children should be taught his religion in school, and that the government should legislate morality under the guiding hand of the church.
I agree 100% about getting into a business deal with someone who wears their religion like a badge of honesty. In fact, I generally avoid businesses like that altogether. Claiming religion does not make one any more honest than someone who does not claim religion. And in some cases, it might be a facade hiding someone less honest. If we're supposed to be talking business, then why are we talking about your religion?
I might know that some politician or salesman or whatever is Catholic or Muslim or Wiccan, but as long as they aren't waving it around like some kind of proof of virtue, then we can get down to real business.
I'm jsut glad that where I live, politicians' religious lives are deliberately left out of the conversation, or I'd never be able to vote for anyone.
That being said, I'd say the same thing about doing business with someone who waves their patriotism around. It's so phony! you can't avoid it with politicians, because their vision of the nation IS the product they're selling. But as soon as I see a product or business wrapped in a flag, I'm gone. We get a lot of spillover packaging and advertisements from the States where I live, and trust me, when the appeal to patriotism doesn't work on you, it becomes such an obvious smokescreen that you can't understand why anyone would fall for it.
Hey, what about those ridiculous "Free Speech Zones" they had in the states to keep people who didn't agree with GWB out of his sight... what was up with that? I thought the whole country was supposed to be a "Free Speech Zone"?
This will get really interesting when China decides to point out that they own like a third of the US debt... and all the Americans will say "You do NOT!"; and then China says, "think what you like, but we're sending some of our guys around to pick up your car"
If people understood Sci-Fi, they'd understand that shows like CSI and its spawn are SCi-Fi. Seriously, the only difference between these jokers and the crew of the Enterprise, is that they are playing with non-existent future-technology in a crime lab instead of on a spaceship.
The Sci-Fi network would be well within their mandate to fill out their programming with 2 or 3 hours of Police Sci-fi.
The "No Stairway" sign in the music store in Wayne's World was borrowed from Steve's Music on Queen Street in Toronto; although since then similar signs have appeared in music stores around the world, often updated to include whatever current popular song the kids insist on playing over and over and over.
There's only two of us, but I always cook for six. More efficient use of ingredients, plus that's two lunches for each of us packed for work. And the food my wife and I pull out in the lunchrooms at our respective offices is way better than the garbage that our coworkers happily pay $8 for every day
It is so easy to cook for six and dish it right into the tupperware as I serve it onto dinner plates, that I can't imagine going to the trouble to prepare lunches any other way; plus I save all that money that my coworkers blow on burgers.
Yeah, that seems a little high for me too. My wife and I eat at about $60 Canadian a week. That's about $48 US at the current exchange rate.
And we eat VERY well, all fresh foods and good variety.
One tactic is to pick a couple of your favourite things that you like to splurge on at a restaurant (for us it was Pad Thai and sushi). first learn how to make it yourself, then learn how to make it BETTER than your favourite restaurant. Do you know how easy it is to make sushi and Pad Thai? Very easy, and the ingredients cost pennies.
Another tactic is to be ready to spend a bit at first; creating great meals cheap requires a well-stocked kitchen. What we do is spread it over time, every week we'll pick up a bottle of spice or something.
And when you see deeply discounted frozen meals, like lasagna or pizza, buy a whole bunch. They're way overpriced at regular price, but it's always good to have a few on hand for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking. So when they're on sale, grab 'em.
The Condom Truck one is from the Toronto Sun - dumbed down news for people who don't like too much analysis or critical thinking in the morning.
I point this out because I don't want people thinking that this headline was a mistake; it's fairly typical fare from the headline editors at the Toronto Sun. I don't read the Sun, but if I come across a copy in a coffee shop, I sometimes scan their headlines because they're like this!
I've often thought that they like to slip in these little word plays just so they can have fun wondering whether or not it's going to go right over their reader's heads. Another thing they like to do; have a big colour front page picture and a giant attention-grabbing front page headline that have nothing to do with each other, but are funny in juxtaposition.
It's always fun to check out the Sun boxes as I walk by and see what kind of twisted meaning they have created by mashing up unrelated words and images.

I saw a woman slip on the ice at the mall this winter, and I had to fight back the urge to yell "FAIL!"

Both Horton and Mikita were top hockey players. Horton went on to start his doughnut chain before getting killed in a car accident.
Don't know much more about them then that, not really into hockey.
Cooking for six.
There's only two of us, but I always cook for six. More efficient use of ingredients, plus that's two lunches for each of us packed for work.
