No, Blalron, THOSE were the good old days!

**Since I haven’t been around that long here, I can’t say whether any changes have happened lately which have skewed the Boards one way or the other, since I really don’t know how the Boards USED to be. **

Absolutely exactly the same. I went away for over a year and it was as if I hadn’t left. There were some new faces and some old faces were gone and others had changed their names but everything was the same.

Mental Picture: Opus the Penguin flapping his left wing with vigor, as he examines it curiously. “Well, maybe they’re not very fond of you, either!”
Hey, I’m about as far right wing as you can get, and I’m more or less in the “damn fool war” group, myself.

I’m pretty sure that Col’s problem wasn’t the “pro-war” part of it. It was the “After the war, everything’s gonna be better!” part of it.

No, the problem with you is that you think people supporting the war are ‘thundering troglodytes’.

Yes. Yes, I do.

Now, may I make a suggestion?

Evolve.

And the majority of my province-mates DID support the war. 69% of them, in fact. Of course, I live in Alberta, a veritable sea of thundering troglodytes.

Welcome to Texas, Sam. It’s a wonderful place, but you can’t hardly hear yourself think for the thundering troglodytes.

Just a little creative Pit license, Sam, my man. No, I don’t really think you qualify as one. In fact, I daresay that the invasion supporters are the real idealist in all of this. What with the lofty goals of “liberating Iraq,” “re-shaping the ME” and “spreading Democracy” to all corners of the globe that so many of you have bought into.

Still, pretty fucked-up way your leaders chose to go about it. That’s where the images of “thundering troglodytes” came from.

Great! You should let The Boy Emperor know that in case he decides to go after Canada’s WMDs he already has a Fifth Column in place!

**As for the Allman Brothers, I love Live at the Fillmore East, although their best studio album is probably Idlewild South. You just can’t beat a good rendition of “Hoochie Coochie Man”.

Tune into Leno tomorrow nite. They’ll be on live.

Perhaps you should also lay off the stereotypes.

Yep, you’re probably right. After all I no longer have long hair – hell, I hardly have any left – and I must admit my vices have gone conservative. Justerini & Brooks in lieu of Panama Red.

John Mace: Define PC.

I’m sorry, John. You’re not allowed to use PC anymore.

Sam, your cite is in Dex’s “december banning” thread, now locked but still available, and I know you read it because you posted to it so often. Actually, perhaps, given your penchant for ignoring things you find unpleasant, perhaps you didn’t actually read all of it as such. Although his comment was targeted at all “fucking paranoid loonies” who were hotly insisting that the banning was due at least in part to december’s political view, that group certainly includes you. Leander reminded you of a thing you said you’d do as a result; have you forgotten or are you simply hoping we do?

Also, the term presented to you elsewhere was “countrymates” - when did Alberta gain that status? Oh yeah, you don’t really give a shit about Canada as a country, do you? It is well known, even down here, that Alberta politics are not at all representative of Canada, any more than Alabama’s a representative of the US’s.
