Pretty funny stuff. Has a woman's guide in it too.

And, if you have no common sense and play this for
my wife AND you do not hear back from me again, well,
it was nice knowing you all

Nestork,

Fascinating. Although, I never say a thing about the
difficulty that arises from living next to glaciers.

:-)
If you are from Canada, would you stop deporting your
sleazy businessmen to the States. If I have a Canadian
supplier based in Canada, no problem, honest as the day is
long. If they are Canadian, but have moved to the
States: OH HOLY ****! Doesn't take many guesses to
figure out why your deport them.

So please consider deporting them move to England or Australia
instead. They speak English there too. (Well, maybe
not so much in Australia.) I would say France, but the
French can't understand anything that comes out of a
French Canadian's mouth anyway. And the French might
get mad and stop exporting arrogance. :-)

Well, really, the problem revolves around the fact that I'm on dial-up.

So, let's say I bought a new computer that used the latest Windows operating system and I had the latest version of Firefox or Chrome or Internet Explorer on my computer...

...it would still take me all day to upload a small video file at 2 to 3 kilobytes per second.

And, that's the reason I keep using my old Pentium 4 computers running XP and IE6. No point putting better running shoes on a turtle.

Todd:

You're right about the French language thing. People in Quebec speak a considerably different dialect of French than the people in France. In fact, people in France call the French spoken in Quebec "Pig French", which is something the people in Quebec don't like to hear.

When I was in high school I had to take French from Grade 9 to Grade 12, and I was actually quite fluent in it until I graduated from high school and forgot all of it. But I still remember one kid in our class arguing that the Course should really be called "Pig French 304" instead of "French 304" because it was the Quebec version of French we were being taught. And, the teacher didn't like even engaging in that discussion.

You get the same thing in English. Someone speaking "English" in Australia sounds significantly different than someone speaking "English" in Scotland. Similarily, a Louisiana Cajun speaking English sounds completely different than someone speaking English in Boston. And all of them sound different than the "English" spoken in Pakistan or India.

PS: That word "Cajun" is derived from the word "Acadian". A long time ago, when the English conquered what is now the Maritime provinces of Canada, (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island) or "Acadia", the French speaking people living there were given the option of swearing allegiance to the King of England and learning English or moving to the French colony of Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi River. The French speaking Acadians that moved to Louisiana rather than swear allegiance to Britain were called "Acadians", which became "Cajuns" over the years, short for "Acadians".

I guess so. Every turtle has a pedigree.

Yes I did and yes I am still alive. She thought it was funny,
especially the Tiffany and Hair Dresser part.

The scary part of the presentation was as some portions of the graph
were being explained old memories were being recalled. Fortunately I
didn't have any recollection for the dude section.

Note this advice is for younger men. Knowing what we older guys know,
I'd still not want to be 18 again.

Good or bad, we'll never have that option.
