"In a democracy, people get the government they deserve." - Alexis de Toqueville

private -> deprive The word private and deprive share the same root: prīvāre which is Latin 'to rob'. Wealthy Roman citizens would wall off public spaces for private gardens, thus depriving the poor of their use. Keep this in mind next time some CEO or politician is clamouring to privatize...

Seashell Tattoo A woman is getting a large tattoo of a seashell on her inner thigh. The tattoo artist tries to make conversation with her, and asks her why she's getting such a tattoo on that spot. The woman replies "It's really cool. If you put your ear against it, you can smell the ocean."

Dirty talk Things to say (and not say) during sex.

:eek: Trust me I don't. I thought that time Merlot got caught at the border with his to-do list taught him not to put those kinds of things in writing. :D

I imagine someone has those industrial-strength buffer pumps kicking around in their garage... maybe they'll turn up... :D

Ten Things Science Says Will Make You Happy from: http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/111138/10_things_science_says_will_make_you_happy/?page=entire In the last few years, psychologists and researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What...

An article in the Montreal Mirror from February 2007! Friends have been and they had a blast. I forget if it's BYOB or that the beer is super cheap, but you get the idea...

"getting with some Han Solo carbon-freeze type shit" LOL! :D But the rumors are false, one can see photos of what the set up looked like in this Vice article. Unless people knew they were getting and/or wanted goats! :confused: :eek: :D

The heretic One man was walking across a bridge one day, and saw someone standing on the edge, about to jump off. The man ran over and cried out: "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well, are you religious or atheist?" "Religious." "Me too...

Le Grille-Pain Le Grille-Pain (950 Roy E, (cross street Mentana) 514 527 8500) is also pretty good, but not 'take parents out as a gift' good. They serve breakfast all day... you can have your favorite meal as many times during the day as you like. :D

L'Avenue I haven't been there for brunch yet (there are line-ups, you just have to accept that), but if out of the ordinary is what you want then you should take them to L'Avenue! (922 Mont-Royal E, (514) 523-8780). I've only had dinner there a few times before catching a show at La Tulipe... so...

La Petite Marche Less than $20 including tip and tax. It's the time that I lack, not the desire to share how great a place it is. I skimmed through this review and I concur: http://www.midnightpoutine.ca/food/2007/12/big_breakfasts_la_petite_marche/ This is what I would have focused on in my...

The anthropologist Ruth Benedict tried to figure out why some cultures are fundamentally, to use her words, good to one another and some bad. Why are some very war-like and others very peaceful? Some treat women very poorly, some treat women very well. Some treat children very poorly, some...

Brunch: La Petite Marche La Petite Marche 5035 rue Saint-Denis Montréal, QC H2J 2L9, Canada (514) 842-1994‎ Maybe I'll post a more complete review in the future, but for now I'll say that it's a great place to have brunch. Modest, certainly not in the range that JAG is looking for, but...

LOL, thanks for catching that... pardon the poor English. I should have written dish, but probably avoided the word as it did not deserve to be called that. (Much like I tried to avoid calling the 'menu' a menu).

Louis Brandeis We can either have democracy in [the U.S.] or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of few, but we can't have both. -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis

Well, the fact of the matter is that there's a lot one doesn't hear about. The news on TV or in newspapers just doesn't cover Muslims vs Christians or Hindus conflicts in Asia on a daily basis, they don't cover what's happening in the 'Horn of Africa'... The fact you are challenging (a third...
