Thank you for that gift.

"and some not even made by them" just made me audibly cackle in my cubicle at work.

Me: Wait. Wasn't there already a C.H.U.D. 2?
*googles*
...
OMG.

That's interesting! I was taught differently in my youth, but it felt wrong even then and it's gnawed at me ever since - to the point where I reword things to avoid the problem.

I must never have seen a tortoise eat before, because he eats like I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley... when he was hungry. That is some commitment to chewing.

A headline indicating a Canadian sports channel acquiring rights to broadcast a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Kansas City Royals. Followed by an image of the final score of that game: Toronto: 1 Kansas City: 20

I might be petty, I admit that, but I snorted hard enough that my sinuses hurt.

That is a radically unprofessional response.

They've been calling her "a watermelon on legs", and I love it.

Always.

Don't try to do it in Alberta, our government is US-lite - we have to pre-register, and pay $100 for them if they ultimately decide to provide them. Which they may not.

They really are - looking at them makes it hard to believe they sound like such goobers when they bugle. 😂

It's about time you went metric.

I have, for years now, been annoyed about Disney marketing their next movies as "the next Disney classic". Something doesn't have to be good, or apparently even in existence yet, for marketing to convince people it's "classic".

Thanks Jay. I wasn't even aware this was a thing we were doing.

In the prairies in the 90s, it was:
- Several of the standard Shakespeares
- Take your pick of the standard Dickens
- The "oh nos" (Orwell, Huxley, Atwood)
- Other British stuff: Maugham, Bronte
- The American stuff: Steinbeck, Wyndham, Salinger, Miller
- French stuff (because Canada)

Ganong Chocolate Museum in St. Stephen, New Brunswick.

No other museum smells this good.

I loved the PEZ museum. You truly have not eaten PEZ until you have eaten warm from the oven PEZ.

Glad you arrived safely!

She's not exactly lying - she views herself as "Alberta", and her desire to be an American has never been higher.

I love this.

What did you do, Scott.

That effectively comes down to "you're only interested in joy, and making other people experience joy" and honestly, we need more joy so... that makes you pretty great?

As a (generally) non SFF reader, Redshirts was my introduction to the Scalzi literary universe. While it may not be the ultimate Scalzi, it is definitely a useful gateway Scalzi.

Then I believe it's "Tank Top 3 weeks".

Let's get real, you've likely typed that before.

The guy on the left looks infinitely proud of himself. The other three know they're going to get mocked to the ends of the earth for peacocking this sort of wealth.

All for it. In a few years, Quebec City can have it.

Obviously Hartford. LOL

This combines two of my favourite things!

In their Utopia, only old white men have opinions.
