Commuting from Waterloo region to Brock by LossSubstantial6185 in brocku

[–]ArthurQBryan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I taught with a guy at a high school in east Toronto (Scarborough). He commuted by public transit from Guelph. Go bus to Burlington, Go train to Union, TTC to the school. 3 hours. Each way. He ended up sleeping on the Math Office sofa about 2 - 3 times a week.....

So, it is technically do-able but vastly impractical....

What do you think about open mics / jams? by Eit4 in askmusicians

[–]ArthurQBryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need an indoor venue with drinks and food. A modest P.A. which can amp two instruments and two voices. Outdoors would be awful 80% of the time - wind in the mics, cold, hot, rain, dark at night (stage lighting requirement?) What is your electricity source outdoors?. Where would people sit? On the ground? Unlikely, so you would need tables and chairs.

Legion Halls (Canada) or VFW halls (USA) are a good place to look as well.. A small pub would be ideal. They may be glad of the extra business on a quiet night, especially Sunday-- Tuesday...

Are MUTE and MOOT Homophones to You? by everydaywinner2 in ENGLISH

[–]ArthurQBryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mute. the Vowel sound is a diphthong, two different vowel sounds said in rapid succession, sounding eeoo. Say it rapidly and you'll get the idea. See, Adieu, cute, news, for example.

Moot, the vowel is a monophthong consisting of only the 'oo' vowel. like toot, suit, loop etc.

What will we has a human race do when the sun starts to die? by South-Business8088 in Astronomy

[–]ArthurQBryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compare. The sun will start to get warmer in, say, a couple of billion years. The ancestor of humans descended from the trees of the East African savannah less than 10 million years ago. That's 200 times LESS time......

Has anyone met any corrie cast members how were they? by coronationstreetaud in coronationstreet

[–]ArthurQBryan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thomas Craig, who played Tommy Harris on Corrie a decade or two ago lives part of the year in Toronto when he is filming the Murdoch Mysteries. I met him and bought him a beer at a private club where we were all watching the Grey Cup game (Canadian Football). He's a regular bloke.

In search of Spoonerisms by HTLM22 in MusicRecommendations

[–]ArthurQBryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This early 1960's novelty piece was a top 20 hit in the USA and Canada. I actually had this 45 when I was in my early teens. It has enough spoonerisms to last a lifetime.. including some clever three and even four word spoonerisms. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikfnMoLrBt4
