You're probably not ready for the guy who wrote the song then.

That's the PHucker's theme song.


What have you got against cannabis?

Believe it or not, Silverstein also wrote childrens' books.


Not as ballsy as one of ours.

Nothing, but it likely gives you lung cancer like tobacco does. Cant
be good for your lungs to breath any burning stuff in deliberately.

Believe it or not, Silverstein also wrote childrens' books.

Can't remember his name and google isnt any use this time.

It's been proven to CURE cancer. It's been proven to be much better for you than alcohol.

Of course I can, but google didn't show it on the
first page and its not important enough to try harder.

It was recently in the the local ABC Just In text news feed
but they age that off very quickly so even and advanced
search restricted to that domain doesn't find it.

At least you don't have Loonies...

Who?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loonie

We do in fact have both a gold colored $1 and $2 coins and they work
fine
except for the terminal stupidity that the $1 coin is bigger than the $2
coin.
And the 50c coin is bigger again, but is silver colored and not gold
colored.

And we don't have 1c and 2c coins anymore, the lowest value is 5c.

I misspoke. I was thinking of the toonie..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toonie

I don't know if it was just an urban legend but there was talk that the
manufacturing process wasn't ironed out for the first runs and the core
would fall out leaving you with a $2 washer.

I liked going to Canada. In the '90s the exchange rate was unfavorable
to the Canadians and they used different colors for their paper money
with bears, penguins, or whatever in the designs. For $100 you got a wad
of multicolored Canadian bills. It was like Monopoly money.

What screwed me up was liters for gasoline. Between the exchange rate
and trying to do liters to gallons in my head I always assumed I was
getting screwed at the pump where the former Imperial gallons seemed
like a bargain.


Our Aldi supermarkets, being a German company, like to make everything
metric, hence they sell litres of milk instead of the pints I get
everywhere else,


Ours are all metric, and that's the law.


I forgot something else annoying they do. Every other supermarket sells 10kg bags of cat litter. Yet Aldi sells 8 litre bags. LITRES? For a powder? You gotta be kidding me.

When a cyclist uses a busy road, he slows down all the cars, making them less efficient, using a lower gear, overtaking, changing speed, etc. So you *******s aren't green at all.

Only things bike riders overtake are pedestrians.

p.s. Real men don't ride bicycles, which are for sissies and kids.


Indeed.


Thank you for backing my six.


I most certainly did not slap your behind.

Yeah, that is weird, but likely due to the rather odd way
they source stuff like that, presumably the cheapest
supplier they can find who happens to do it that weirdly.

The dishwasher pellets are made in Luxembourg of all places.
God knows why its cheapest to move it all the way from there.

Just because some fool claims something...

You wont be able to cite even a single peer reviewed medical journal that
produced any proper double blind trial that proves anything like that.
