> [@Cuckoorex](#): > > Holy hell! I thought Loblaw’s was just a faded memory from my youth! You wouldn’t happen to be from northwestern PA, would you? Spent about 13 years living in Ontario. Had some family in Warren, PA and we would visit a few times a year! Have been in Alberta for the last 5 years and no Blah’s Blah’s here… just the SuperStore which is part of the same conglomerate. ---

Rubble. Rubble. Rubble. Rubble. Rubble. Rubble. Rubble. I can’t help smirking when I even hear this word. Of course it’s usually used in context with explosions and earthquakes and the like, which I certainly do not find amusing, but man there sure is something funny about the word rubble. (A-hyuck, hyuck, hyuk, hyuk…) ---

[Krusty] The young people today, they think comedy is dirty words. It’s not – it’s words that _sound_ dirty, like “mukluk.” Mukluk. You like that? No charge. Mukluk. ---
