Dumb ass people and other stuff

I thinks the reason they have no issues a lot LU is because if the volume of traffic, if you look at the rotary where there is substantially more traffic people are forced to stay in their lanes for the most part. On the other side of the equation LU doesn't have the the volume so people feel inherently free to drive like morons.

Hunters spark outrage after killing ‘spirit moose’ on Cape Breton Highlands trip


Seriously? I can understand that people might not be aware of cultural significance of various things, but shooting the white moose? Like you couldn't find one in Provincial park, or in a wheelchair, or maybe tied to a tree?

They made the Daily mail front page.

I was at Rogues Roost not that long ago and I was listening to someone order a beer at the next table. Obviously not a beer geek. He saw that they had an IPA and said to his buddy that it must be similar to Keith's. When the waiter brought it over you should have seen the look on his face, which was even better after he tasted it. It was neither fizzy nor yellow. He ordered a bottle of something instead.

It's funny I've had more than a few conversations with people about the fact that Keith's is not an IPA. I suppose I'm not alone on that one?

No you are not....

Keith's is definitely not an IPA. lol Trust your gut. I was really uninspired by Rogues' IPA this summer. Not hoppy enough. Tried their Baltic Porter which was all right but in the 6 % and not aggressive enough in flavour for me. I think they need to make it about 2-3 % stronger.

Who Said It: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford or Simpsons Mayor Diamond Joe Quimby?
http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2013/0 ... mayor.html

“Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Toronto Mayor Rob Ford told reporters on Tuesday. He then added: “There have been times when I’ve been in a drunken stupor.” The highly quotable Ford has never sounded more like the Simpsons’ fictional mayor, Diamond Joe Quimby. Back in May, Justin Peters put together an extremely difficult Ford-or-Quimby? quiz. Put yourself to the test below.

On Thursday, Gawker’s John Cook reported the existence of a video that allegedly shows Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. Since entering public service as a city councilor in 2000, Ford has been known for his odd and improper public behavior and comments, a habit that only got worse after he was elected mayor in 2010. Whether he’s accosting out-of-towners at a hockey game, offering to help procure OxyContin for a constituent, or railing against streetcars and anti-poverty activists, Ford has consistently tested the limits of “mayoral behavior.”

In fact, the public servant Ford most closely resembles is the fictional mayor from The Simpsons, Diamond Joe Quimby. Both men are heavyset. Both are often at odds with constituents, colleagues, and the press. And both are prone to saying outrageous things in public.

I’ve prepared a 20-question quiz of quotes from Ford and Quimby. Which mayor said which wildly inappropriate thing? Answers are at the bottom.

1. “Are these morons getting dumber or just louder?”

2. “It’s hard to hide 300 pounds of fun.”

3. “People don't want to see their mayor stuck in an office all the time, they want to see him right at their door.”

4. “We'll blow up our dams, destroy forests, anything! If there's a species of animal causing problems, nosing around your camera, we'll have it wiped out.”

5. “Demand? Who are you to demand anything? I run this town. You’re just a bunch of low-income nobodies.”

6. “Let’s call a spade a spade. The left would have taken it and just wanted to spend it on crazy, stupid things like more social programs ...”

7. “Oh my god, I never want to hurt a bike. That’s the last thing I want to do, precious little bikes.”

8. “I ordered the re-opening of this prison to send a message to the criminals of [name of city]. If you commit a violent crime in my town, you are going to end up here. To demonstrate what you're in for, I will now strap myself into this electric chair, which was deactivated over 30 years ago, and, I can only assume, still is.”

9. “Water is the healthiest form of liquid.”

10. “By the way, this woman is not my wife, but I am sleeping with her. I'm telling you this because I'm comfortable with my womanizing."

11. “I'm sick of you people, you’re nothing but a pack of fickle mush heads.”

12. “Tuesday, Nov. 27, I’m going to be playing hooky from City Hall.”

13. “Those Oriental people work like dogs. … They're slowly taking over.”

14. “Now on to the next item, the proposal for putting term limits on public office. All those in favor say, ‘I have sex with animals.’ ”

15. “I’d love to see us sell the zoo and make money on it if we can. ... Keep the elephants here and take it from there.”

16. “You don't scare me, that could be anyone's ass. Now beat it! I'm calling the shots.”

17. “I will retract the word ‘ass.’ ”

18. “Very well, if that is the way the winds are blowing, let no one say I don't also blow.”

19. “You are tampering with forces you can't understand, we have major corporations sponsoring this event.”

20. “I’m as clean as the days are long.”

ANSWERS:

Ford: 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 20

Quimby: 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 19
