I understand where you are coming from...especially since despite my own belief in the ideal, I must confess I have practically no faith that I will ever see anything like it realized in my own life. Perhaps as more time goes by, more of the edge will be taken off this entirely personal...

I've never had this problem. Of course, that could have something to do with the fact that I've never had all that much cash... :) Actually, when I was married, it was I who was "the wife" as you describe it here. Which allows me to shed some light on this point. It is true that some...

You can get folks in the Prairies pretty riled up with the mere recitation, reminding them just how long they've had to let the Quebeckers run the show just to keep them from busting up the Confederation. :p (And no, bringing up Joe Clark doesn't help much...and Kim Campbell most definitely...

Bushmills in particular makes a big deal out of being triple-distilled according to common, if not universal, Irish practice. (By contrast, double-distilling is traditional for Scotch). But, like their claim to being the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, the value of this is worthy of...

For my part, I didn't find the Ardbeg to my taste...but de gustibus non disputandum est, non? For some reason I've never got round to trying the Lagavulin, but I certainly will now, with such high recommendations turning up here. Would anyone care to share a little more about why you love it...

Thanks to Noah Webster getting rid of those extra "U"s (e.g. colour --> color), we sure do. I always heard that loose lips sink ships...but apparently overlong words do too! And then, once Hemingway had come on the scene...well, the Japanese and Germans had to have been insane to declare war...

Last time I was up in Montreal I was overjoyed to find that SAQ had started carrying Bruichladdich, specifically the Fifteen. "The Laddie" comes from one of the few truly independent distilleries out there; it was brought out of mothballs quite recently by people who just plain care about making...

Maybe this will be a controversial point of view in this forum, but I`m on the side of these residents on the narrow issue of street prostitution, particularly when it takes place anywhere near residential areas. (Of course, focusing on this specific, hardest-to-defend aspect may be a conscious...

Hey, now. You folks are going to stir up trouble being that hard on the dear old South. Okay, there may be some...er...interesting places one can stumble across out there in the boonies. I won't even complain if you want to use an old favorite line of mine: "What most people don't realize is...

Surely you've been around long enough to know that the only way to repel a shark is with another member of the b-...er, shark. :p P.S. Thanks, Louis: now I've got that old Carl Douglas song stuck in my head. They were funky China men From funky Chinatown They were chopping them up And...

Yes...if one works as an escort, then choosing a boyfriend who is prone to fits of wild sexual jealousy would probably be a bad idea. :eek: But that presumes that one is being picky in one's choice of boyfriend. Some women--especially the younger ones--aren't always. These are the gals who...

If they gave the $157,000 to fourteen MERBites, I bet we could find out a heck of a lot more than these jokers will. :) But maybe not in Edmonton or Winnipeg. Not sure I'd be interested in getting around to that part of the trip.

People who frequent this board are not going to run across a large number of turkeys if they do their homework. And that means that there are going to be a lot of 8-9-10s...and that this narrow range of scores isn't going to do people much good, especially since personal tastes can vary so...

No...but we're contractually obligated to claim so. It's there in the bylaws of the International Fraternity of Red-Blooded Males. Me, I struggle the most with having to find Britney Spears or Pamela Anderson appealing...but I have to at least try, otherwise they'll take my membership card...

But surely you should start from: 1: Janet Reno
