Extreme Honey, why are you sooo concerned about these things?! chill the hell out man...this thread is about ICE CREAM for f#$% sakes. ...and for the record, I'm Canadian and your comments disgust and embarrass me. The characters/stereotypes you describe certainly exist in Canada too...I'm from Newf...

I have NO idea what is going on anymore...how did I get pulled into this!?!?! and do I look like a man in my avatar?!

onwards and upwards...!

after working for a big corp. for 3 years in IT and now having returned to university I have come to expect way too much from professors...like actually replying to emails, and hmmm....how about not taking a week off in the middle of our course? I'm beginning to think being a prof can be a pretty sw...

mug, you've inspired me...I forgot how much I used to like Bjork back in jr high/high school...currently listening to 'Big Time Sensuality'!

Steel City - Tim Finn

I know...the This Town video cracks me up!

funny...I'm going to see U2 in November in Montreal and turns out, the Arcade Fire is opening! I'm glad 'cause I think I would like the Arcade Fire but I haven't had the time or money to listen to their stuff....and sometimes, a band doesn't really 'grab me' until I see 'em live, know what I mean?

“This is where the bar has been — now how about this, you fuckers?”

I love it!

-My University ring, my 'X-Ring' - it's a big thing at the school I graduated from (and am now attending again)...everybody here gets one and attends a special ceremony in December of your senior year to get it (most grads consider 'X-Ring night' a bigger thing than graduation). My brothers, sister ...

I realize this is a long shot, but does anybody know how I could get my hands on a copy of <i> Time Fades Away</i>?!

reading this post made me remember something... when I was younger, I absolutely devoured Archie comics (I still love them!). Anyway, I remember one storyline where Betty is friends with an elderly lady named Lydia, who was telling Betty a story about the love of her life, a solder named DECLAN MACM...

Why do I have the worst work ethic <i> ever</i>? It's 10:35 pm and I have yet to start studying for a final exam I have at 9 am tomorrow!

Our society is ass-backwards, that's what is wrong! Plus, doesn't the article say that she bought it for her 14-yr old grandson when it was still rated M (for mature, for 17 yrs and older)?! I don't agree with a lot of the gratuitous sex and violence that kids are exposed to, but isn't it ultimately...

thanks SMM...I'm sure I could guess your last name right now without looking in the phone book

I've been outed

Thanks johnfoyle for making me come out of the shadows here...I read this board all the time and I love it, I guess it's only fair that I actually post something from time to time!

Anyway, I'm glad to be back!!!

UN-freakin-believeable, Spooky!!! I'm glad to hear you're OK after the accident, but to have the other car conk out too...simply sucks. I'm thinkin of you...things can only get better from now on!!

I showed you mine and you won't show me yours?!?! hahaha!

I wanna see it!

*stomps feet* I want them NOW!!! I can't wait for September - 3 new reissues and a new album! My roomates had better prepare themselves....for non-stop EC and me being broke! I haven't heard all of Get Happy or Trust (I have a tape of Punch the Clock that I found a few months ago for $2.50 used!) so...

FYI: the steakhouse he mentions is right next door to where I work!

I just picked up a paper copy of the Calgary Sun, and on the cover of the folk fest pull-out section, is a photo of the mayor and EC with the white cowboy hat on....and he does kind of have a crazed, "what the hell am I doing with this hat on" kind of look!!!! If I had a scanner I would po...

Hey sweet pear, thanks...but I can't see the pic! I know what you mean about wanting to look good - when I got the pic developed I was scared to open the envelope! (no digital camera for me yet!) I was hoping and praying that the pic turned out well....actually the original pic has some random dude ...

Thanks sl! Whenever I go to a great concert like that, I always think "I want to remember this forever!!" so I try to remember the little details, you know? Also, it's funny, because although I've never met anyone on this board I found myself at concert thinking "I'll have to remember...

I just found this on Sondre Lerche's website...sorry if you've seen it before... http://www.sondrelerche.com/diary/dagbok71.shtml He was actually quite charming at the Edmonton show...he only got to play maybe 3 or 4 songs tonight (damn rules, again). Looks like he is gaining a following on this sid...

I dig my Bowie shirt too! It's just an iron on from a T shirt store...I put in on when I want to feel rock-n-roll fabulous. I was kind of hoping that EC would comment, but there was lots of people swarming him...maybe it's why he put his arm around me though :lol: My EC shirt is also an iron on (EC ...
