If that irritates you, try going to France. They have a different word for everything!

But seriously, so what? Not every English speaking country will have the exact same words for everything. Takeout/takeaway- if that causes offense I'd say you have bigger problems. If a British person says maths and sport instead of math and sports, I don't get upset because I use different words.

Do they see Australian or Canadian English as well?

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta pull on my bunny hug and runners, and head to the LCBO. if I have any loonies and toonies left I'll pick up some timbits before I flake on the chesterfield.

Spending too much money to watch some crappy movie and eat overpriced junk food is hardly a novelty!

The sad thing is that some 'holy men' have made billions of dollars duping gullible people with such stagecraft.

My solution? Grow your own tomatoes. It's cheap and easy. If you don't have a yard, borrow a friend's. Use 5-gallon plastic buckets if you have to. You will never go back to store bought tomatoes again.

I dare you to taste the GG Allin!

I'm in decent shape, but I can't see hopping like that for more than a minute or two before my legs die. Anyone out there ever tried this? It does look like fun as long as you can keep going.

I guess North Korea doesn't have this pesky obesity problem...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to be private property. Can it really be considered a neighbourhood?

Wow- such enthusiasm for learning is a beautiful thing. Try this nowadays and think of all the lawsuits and criminal charges that would follow.

I wish my high school was this enlightened. My teachers provided as much abuse and discouragement as the school bullies. I once had a teacher give me crap because she didn't believe all mammals have some form of hair. Our home ec teacher was divorced, the shop teacher was missing a finger, and we learned about birth control from a teacher with eight kids.

I bet the kids in this film had a brighter future than my classmates!

If he was killing rats in his garden it wouldn't be newsworthy. One law for cute animals, one law for the rest.
