[budafist]

But it looks like ham! Ok, I'll call it bacon...

You, Miss Muse, have a knack for understatement! :)

Wabbit, I can't see any of the pictures you are posting. Just a question mark box.

[crazy wabbit]

OH No, it shows here for me

Happy Canada Day, you Canadians you! http://forums.viachicago.org/style_emoticons/default/canada2.gif (javascript:add_smilie()

[a_muse]

What a cute (and maybe insane?) Beaver!
It shows up for me now, but not on the first one.

Just got back from watching fireworks with the kids, feel like I should have a beer and some Canadian bacon (actually I think we refer to it as back bacon as well, someone correct me if I'm wrong) to celebrate, but I'm not a fan of either, 'eh :D .
I DO like traditional bacon however, extra crispy please!

[tuliptree]

Sounds like a fun evening muse!

[a_muse]

Ya, it was great fun, the oldest was at grandma's house and the youngest fell asleep in the stroller, so we really only had 2 kids, it was almost relaxing! ;)

[Randomhero]

I DO like traditional bacon however, extra crispy please!

Its the only way to have it for sure.

[spendthrift]

I don't think it is good to let the kid falls asleep at stroller, If he can say a word, he wants to be lying down in bed. :)

I think Bryan Adams deserves of Pamela's place, should be higher than any Canadian singers.

[a_muse]

My kids can happily sleep anywhere, we'd never get out of the house if they didn't. :p

I think Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and The Barenaked Ladies should all be at the top of that list, who made that list? I hope it wasn't Canadians!

[Red Kittie Kat]

By the looks of it .. some horny man :p

... and as far as kids falling asleep in a stroller ... spend can I have your number so you can keep them occupied and happy until they can get to a bed when they are ready for a nap?

:D

[spendthrift]

My number isn't in this capacity, I can give it once the kids and their dad well fallen asleep. :D ;)

[Randomhero]

By the looks of it .. some horny man :p


Lol, this is probably the correct statement.

[tuliptree]

By the looks of it .. some horny man :p

:D

You're hilarious Kittie, but probably 100% right.

"Hmmm, Neil Young, bah, he doesn't have boobies. To the bottom of the list then! Ah, but this Avril...yes, yes, mmhmm, nice. #1!"

[Red Kittie Kat]

I have my moments :p

[spendthrift]

Oh ... please keep your posts clean, thanks :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

umm huh? :confused:

[spendthrift]

I didn't find horn* in the proper dict, in the urban dict it has negative conotation. Despite I don't like an actor/actreess I wouldn't quote someone's post when it turn in at that term. :)

[a_muse]

@spendthrift- I imagine it's difficult to judge the "cleanliness" of language when it isn't your mother tongue. Let me assure you that "horny" is not a swear word, while I wouldn't neccessarily say "I'm really horny right now!" when I'm talking to neighbours, I would say to my doctor "I haven't been horny lately, what's up?", it's all in the context.

:)

[spendthrift]

Quoting someone's post is affirmation, the original post didn't disturb at all.

In order the doctor can give you the proper solution, there isn't another way than talking to them all the problem frankly.

How could you know english is not someone's mother language? :)

[urstwile]

I'm thinking a_muse was making a random guess. :rolleyes:

[a_muse]

In order the doctor can give you the proper solution, there isn't another way than talking to them all the problem frankly.

I could say "I have a low sex drive" and that would be fine, but saying "horny" wouldn't be offensive.

How could you know english is not someone's mother language?

Well, you mentioned looking up a common term in the dictionary, and no offence but it's obvious. I couldn't do it in your language though.

I absolutely refuse to accept any list of so-called "Top Canadians" that doesn't include William Shatner.

Or Broacher.

[garricks]

EDIT: Dammit, missed another page turn. I need more coffee.

[morea]

Nobody is going to talk about William Shatner with me, are they.

CLICKY! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1CwZgb_iAI)

[Virgo Nightingale]

William Shatner should most definitely be on that list. I don't even know who Romeo Dallaire, Shannon Tweed, Estella Warren and Kristin Kreuk are. Even if you have to be Canadian to know who they are, William Shatner deserves to be there since everyone else in the world knows who he is. He's TJ Hooker for crying out loud!! :p

Oh, and happy belated Canada Day to all you Canucks. Even you transplants. ;)

[Kool]

LOL at "I Am Canadian"

Who the heck are Romeo Dallaire, Estella Warren, Sum41, Natasha Henstridge, and Kristin Kreuk?

Where's Red Green?

[garricks]

morea, last year I watched "The Nuremburg Trials," which has Shatner pre-Star Trek. He wasn't half bad.

I can't clicky here at work. :( I'll be back later, though!

But yeah, that list is quite suspect. kd lang isn't on it either!

[garricks]

Kristin Kreuk is Lana Lang on The CW's Smallville. Clark Kent's next door neighbor and sometimes crush, who married Lex Luthor. :D

Natasha Henstridge is Taylor, the blonde lawyer on Eli Stone.

IDK who the hell those others are!

[Two-Toe Tom]

romeo dallaire's the guy nick nolte played in "hotel rwanda". he tried to stop the genocide there, stand-up guy.

[morea]

I think you'd like Kristin Kreuk, Kool. ;)

Good call on Red Green, too!

[Virgo Nightingale]

She's an actress on a crappy show on a crappy network, but Bill Shatner is a friggin' icon and he's not on the list? WTF?

[morea]

I think we should start our own list.

1. William Shatner.

You guys can pick the rest. :D

[Two-Toe Tom]

1. William Shatner.
2. The guy who played Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek series.

[Virgo Nightingale]

I actually went to their discussion board to see if we were the only ones who noticed this oversight. Holy spam-filled. Their mods suck. :p

[morea]

1. William Shatner.
2. The guy who played Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek series.
3. The guy who plays Denny Crane on Boston Legal.

[Kool]

Holy Crap!! The last real post on there was from 2006 and was complaining about the spam LOL. The admin said he would clean it up, then it looks like he abandoned it. I only looked at one section and out of 228 threads 13 weren't spam.

In the states it is "you're welcome", but it's not the queen's english.

Same as in the states but still the same english,
Muse just didn't use the correct punctuation ; )

Um ya, no excuse, :o I was distracted by the Shatner :)

LOL muse!!! I mean, er, I can see how you must have gotten lost in his dreamy eyes! Or did his look scare you into a typo?

[tuliptree]

Hey, I came across a show on tv last night hosted by ^ that guy. Looks like it was from 2006, but I'd never seen or heard of it before. Maybe you did, but if not . . .

How William Shatner Changed the World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_William_Shatner_Changed_the_World)

[urstwile]

I'm sorry, but LOL, tulip. :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

I saw a bit of that too. I'm not quite sure why it's named after him specifically, it was about how many of the futuristic ideas introduced on Star Trek made it into real life.

[tuliptree]

Urst, I lol'ed to, it was a fun show. I actually fell asleep half way through though because it was on very late. Virgo, the funny thing is when I saw it I swear it was called How Star Trek Changed the World, but I can't find it listed as that anywhere on the interwebs.

[urstwile]

I also don't understand why Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen aren't on this list, by the way.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Leonard Cohen is on there, #20. ;)
