Not Olympics, but... In 1993, two Cleveland Indians pitchers were killed, and one badly injured in a boating accident during the preseason. During a Angels-Indians game that season, the KTLA announcers mentioned the tragedy. Minutes later, while discussing the state of Cleveland's bullpen, one said ...

I was working in a crappy warehouse job. I'd started at 6AM that morning. When the office staff started coming in around 8:30-9, I kept hearing rumblings about "plane crash" "towers" "terrorists" etc. At first I assumed that it was a minor story that they were blowing out of proportion, until I got ...

I think the NDP would look a lot different with Doer at the helm, instead of Jack Layton. I think Harper realized that too, and realized it was a possibility. Hmmm, how can we keep him keep him away from Ottawa? I know, lets give him this cushy ambassador post. Good for Gary Doer though. I think he'...

False, while I'd like to be in the shape I was in years ago, I'm happy with my "older and wiser" status.

The person below me is un- (or under) employed, as I am. (And wasting time reading AVCANADA while waiting for the job offers to pour in).

As of January 23, 2007, new entry requirements to the United States will affect all Canadian citizens transiting the United States when travelling to and from Dominican Republic by air.





So does transiting mean landing in or just passing through?

I know about the new passport rules for the US, but I can't get a clear answer about the Dominican Republic. If I'm flying from Calgary to DR without a stop in the US, do I NEED a passport? I'm afraid with the wait times, I might not get it in time (mid March).

Anyone know for sure?

I'll come and I'm bringing snow shoes. (winter camping anyone?)

(just bringing this back )

False, I've got one green and one blue eye.

The person below me will be "home" for Christmas.

Wow, my great-aunt's house had that exact colour carpet!

Free, is it? Winnipeg is in the process of spending $300M on a new water treatment plant for improved water quality. The water tastes like ass during the height of the summer due to algae build-up in the current system. Wpg water tastes like ass all the time, not just summer. I only drink bottled w...

TPBM is experiencing flashbacks of all the mediocre sitcoms they were addicted to in their childhoods.

true and false. I am on high-speed, but yet I have no interest in a video featuring Bob Saget. The person below me is.....oh man, I can't think of anything.... pissed because they don't get any holidays this summer. (Like me, I'll be lucky to get a three-day weekend the way things are going around h...

True, now. I just googled him. Sounds pretty funny.

TPBM has a horrible hangover, yet for some reason woke up at 8:30AM, and can't fall asleep again.

False.... but I want one!

The person below me is stuck at home with a cold, like me.

I got 9 out of 10. Didn't know who Elmer the safety elephant was. I think I can picture him though.
