classes weren’t too terrible. Translation lasted all of 5 minutes (best one EVAR), dialectical reasoning was with the prof who talks to geese, and cinema was interesting. rehearsal was fine, except I’m one of the most statically charged people ever.

You left out an important detail, do you get shocked or do you shock others? Because one is fail but the other one is full of deliciously evil fun.

I had a history teacher in high school who talked to cows and she would always tell us stories about her conversations with them, but I didn’t mind since she had a great blend of hawtness and cute.

We really encouraged our daughter to be mobile. She crawled really early (five months) and we thougth we were great parents. Then we realized it just meant she could get into trouble easier and quicker and we had to be way more vigilant.

When our son was born we kept joking that we were going to keep knocking him over so he wouldn’t learn to crawl or walk.

I usually really like kids, but my nephews-in-laws are just a couple of total unruly brats. The parents do a terrible job cracking down on them and they just run wild like a couple of apes.

Weirdly, they only seem to act like that when their parent(s) are around. If I’m looking after them they snap into line pretty quick. Still kind of whiny and spoiled, but they know I won’t stand for none of their crap.

Sometimes life really is like a rat moving down the belly of a snake

About ten years ago, so many of our friends were getting married that my wife and I would often have to split up on weekends in June. She’d attend the weddings of her friends or relatives and I’d go to the weddings of my friends or relatives.

There were so many showers and engagement parties that we were on a first-name basis with the staff in the wedding registry departments.

About seven years ago, all of our Sunday afternoons became booked with baby showers. Tonnes of ’em. We learned to go “oooh” and “aaah” as receiving blankets and bunnykin bowls were unwrapped around us.

Five years ago, my sister inflicted the same madness on our friends and family by throwing us a massive baby shower (and everyone oohed and aahed over the onesies, knitted caps and bath accessories).

Then sadly, about two years ago, our friends’ parents started getting sick and, in four cases, dying.

Enjoy those babies and weddings – there are drinks and finger foods during the next phase, but it’s not as much fun.

(and I really didn’t mean for this to sound as bad as it now reads…)

We did just a nice service with a marriage commissioner at a really nice Bed n Breakfast (the weather cooperated so it was outside, even) and then had dinner at a nearby restaurant.. I think it was 16 people, just close family, and it was great. There were a few minor stresses in the planning but overall it was a breeze.

After all, it’s what you do in the years after the wedding that is the important stuff, right? People who spend 100k+ on a wedding just baffle me.

I have gotten invitations to like 3 or 4 so far and everytime I just make excuses not to go. The good thing is that all my relatives with the exception of two aunts are all married and have their own families, and those two aunts will never marry.

Also in terms of grand children, my brother is the oldest and I’m third oldest, my brother is already married which makes me as the only grand child who is even dating, so none of my cousins are dating or will get married any time soon.

Basically, friends weddings I can avoid, and so far no one in my family will be married anytime soon, w00t!

Richmond traffic is bad because Chinese people don’t know how to drive, they drive bad intentionally, they just can’t operate motor vehicles in a safe or non-idiotic manner because we lack the genes/chromosomes to do so.

Funny but true story

When I was working at McDonald’s, two chinese ladies came in and tried to get me to accept a coupon that clearly has “VALID ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES” printed on it. They kept arguing with me and I refused to accept it, so they relented and ordered.

As I was getting their drinks they started insulting me and calling me names in frigging cantonese right behind my back. My only thought was how dumb can you be to insult a chinese people in chinese thinking he won’t understand you?

Anyway, I pretended not to know what was going on, and after I got their order together, I smiled politely at them and said “have a good day, don’t fall and die on your way out” in cantonese, haha their expression was priceless, like they just shat their pants.

Yeah Montreal is scarier than Richmond for driving.. I find in richmond you can stare the other drivers down if you get eye contact, if you stare the drivers in montreal they just get a scary grin and drive twice as crazy.

It turned out the guy in the Explorer was a Sherbrooke city bus driver who knew the cabbie. And they were yelling out stuff along the lines of “LEARN HOW TO DRIVE ASSHOLE!” ( i doubt there was a learn to make a kicksave" joke made, but oh well)

Funny thing, when I was in Vancouver, I started talking to a random stranger at a Mercedes dealership (my uncle was buying a brand new C300 for my cousin – spoiled), and he was asking me where I’m from because I mentioned I was visiting Vancouver for the first time, I answered “Toronto” and he laughed really loud and said he felt sorry for me and explained that the east is dead and I’ll end up on the west coast like the rest of the country within a few years.

In history class shortly after the last Quebec referendum in ’95, my teacher gave us an assignment in which we had to come up with ways to improve national unity in Canada and make a poster and do a presentation.

Everyone in class did their own usual cliched thing as expected of like 14 year olds, my idea was basically to send in the Canadian Armed Forces and conquer Quebec by force, I even included detailed invasion plans in my presentation, with the option of dropping a small nuke in the heart of Quebec City that was purchased from the Americans.

It was awesome, my teacher was so shocked and horrified but still gave me an “A” because of the immense creativity involved.

Ok LD, where the heck did that link come from? My first thought was, “This has to be a joke” and then i started wondering how they calculate the dowry price.

I’d be steamed if I was Rachel M. with the low-low price of $19,995 while Olivia is going for $42,995 and Brittany’s listed at $38,995
