Leaffan:
He doesn’t wear a seat belt either.
ETA: I’ve mentioned both. He thinks he’s the greatest driver in the world, and he believes that if he dies he goes on to eternal bliss, utopia, whatever it’s called.
I think for most religions, he’d lose points for bringing along unwilling guests…

From the “too ludicrous to be true” files, it appears that Canadian content in television extends even to porn channels:
Your porn is not Canadian enough, CRTC warns erotica channels .
The obvious solution is to produce more porn, but how would it be indicated as Canadian? Maple leaf tattoos on a performer’s butt cheeks? Produce titles like “The Canadian Mountie and the Farm Girl?” Or we could play on anything that refers to castor canadensis ?
I can just see film titles like “Bilingual and Bisexual” or “Keystone XXXL”, or the Newfoundland classic “Debbie and Donny do Dildo”.

Thank you, Le Ministre ; my morning coffee now decorates my screen. Thank you again.
Cyros:
So, a woman was arrested the other day (released the next day and no charges laid yet) because her kids were out playing in the cold. The children were wearing proper outdoor attire for the weather (as evinced by the fact that they are not suffering frostbite after having been out for “some time”) but that wasn’t good enough for the nosy neighbours who just had to call police because they didn’t see a parent supervising the play.
That situation was my worst nightmare a few years ago. My little one loved to go out and play and the weather didn’t matter at all (except for a blizzard, she didn’t like going out in high winds). I’d make sure she was dressed warmly and give frequent glances out our window to ensure she was ok but if my neighbours had been a bit more butinsky this could easily have been me. My wife still worries about sending our 8 year old out to the park alone (even though we have a clear view of the area from our back window).
I can see being worried about the kid but if you must go out and talk to the kid first or knock on the parents door. There are things you can do before you call the police.
Sheesh… my son is like that, when I make him out down the screens he will go and play for hours in the yard. At our old place he was the only kid outside all winter but in the summer there were packs of kids. We have yet to see what it will be like here though I do see some kids outside now and again, more than the old place this time of year. If the kid is dressed for the weather and happy as a lark I wouldn’t immediately jump to police but I always worried someone would.
Calling the police because a child is playing outside, in full winter gear - that would have never, ever occurred to me. As you probably all know (since I talk about it all the time), I’m a winter walker, and I always assume that everyone else out there in the cold also wants to be there, like I do.

“Torontorotica”!
One of Canada’s greatest, and most beloved entertainment exports is
Peter North .
And of course, we can’t restrict it to straight porn. How about: “Bob & Doug Take (It) Off!”
Bob and Doug McKenzie starring in “Hosers”.

Star some instantly-recognizable Canadian celebrities down on their luck, and interested in attention.
I hear Mayor Rob Ford may be available …
I did not know that; thank you.

So…wrong!
But oh so unforgettable…
"Wearing nothing but a tuque and a smile, Bob carried the tray of coffee and donuts into the room. “Time to RRRoll up the RRRim!”…

Would people please, please, stop posting such speculations?!?
Please?
:eek:
But just think of the taglines …
‘You’ve seen the secret videos - now see Rob Ford like you’ve never seen him before!’
‘Rob Ford - his oral skills are no longer merely a legend in his own mind!’
‘Rob Ford sucking crack - not talkin’ about the drug!’
Truly, it is amazing what one learns on these boards.
