    A better theory about coal

    There's also a 250 million year-old pencil in the picture, too. I didn't even know dinosaurs could write.

    How many here have beef fondue occasionally?

    We haven't done a fondue since my son was born a decade ago. We took him to a fondue restaurant a few months ago and he loved it, so we're going to start doing it again at home.

    How many here have beef fondue occasionally?

    Yes. Like a corn dog, for instance.

    Our weather, The Day After Tomorrow?

    It was 80F here today. Went to the Bucs-Chargers game and sat outside all afternoon. Life's tough.

    The Banana Republic of Newfoundland

    Hugo Chavez ain't got nothin' on Newfoundland and Labrador premier, Danny Williams. Ol' Hugh at least pays compensation for expropriating private assets owned by corporations, unlike Williams, who is just taking the assets of forestry company AbitibiBowater...

    Dumb Protestors Ready to Make People Angry at Them

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071229/ap_on_re_us/rose_parade I'm sure the parade revelers will think "Hmm, yes, this is an appropriate venue for strident, in-your-face political cacophony. I'm so glad I brought the children." The ability of liberals to continuously shoot themselves in the head...

    How to Get the Best Value in Budget Wines

    BTW, anyone know of a good place to buy wines in the Comox Valley and Saskatoon? I've generally found the selection in those places lacking. Perhaps that's what colours my opinions of Canadian vintners.

    How to Get the Best Value in Budget Wines

    I used to work for a beer and wine distributor. I know the guy that popularized Baby Duck, or at least was part of the marketing effort. They used to go and hand it out to the homeless winos. True story. I'm pretty sure they don't do that anymore

    How to Get the Best Value in Budget Wines

    You understand wrong. You'll get one or two vintages or vineyards that will put out a pretty good product, but otherwise, I find most Canadian wines pretty mediocre. They're better than they were 15 years ago though.

    How to Get the Best Value in Budget Wines

    Yeah, Canadian wines aren't very good. But soon, Canada will make some great wines because of the blessing that is Global Warming.

    Hungry Zimbabweans target giraffe

    Subsidies are ridiculous, but I can't think of another country that was once a net exporter of agriculture that is now an importer and experiencing 6000% inflation at the same time.

    Hungry Zimbabweans target giraffe

    It should be noted that at one time, Zimbabwe was once - i.e. ten years ago - one of Africa's largest exporters of agriculture. Today, people are starving while a global boom in agricultural prices is on. That's the legacy of Robert Mugabe.

    How can we Americanadians allow this injustice of brown illegal immigrants coming into our countries and stealing money from Patriot Free American foods like hot dogs and hamburgers! Don't believe me? See for yourself. ¿Habla espanyol, Canadese?
