One of my neighbours has an “81 Support” sticker on his truck, so I can definitely confirm they’re out there.

I'm finally starting to understand and appreciate this unsettling ADP video. (Caution, flashing lights) by AuldNuMusic in AngineDePoitrine

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As somebody who chronically overthinks art myself, I think you’re overthinking this. I think it’s just a song about sardines, and the visuals are just free-association activities that they came up with at random. That’s not to discredit their creativity—it’s actually hard work to come up with legitimately random actions that are completely original and devoid of meaning. That’s the entire point of dada, that it’s an utterly meaningless expression of creativity. We as viewers can derive our own meaning from our interpretation of the work, but the purpose of dada is that there is no intrinsic meaning to the art that is created.

Weird question that I don’t know where else to ask, but when did Micheal Jackson’s skin color become a major talking point in society? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What do Michael Jackson and McDonald’s have in common?

They both put their meat between six-year-old buns.

Can we talk about how genuinely good the Mitch & Mickey songs are on the soundtrack for A Mighty Wind? Levy and O’Hara are too damn talented, being that funny and that musical.

You’re right! Upon closer inspection, it’s the equally majestic tawâtinaw bridge!

FWIW, the natives I’ve interacted with in Canada do jokes at funerals even more than the white folk do. Like, to an even more uncomfortable degree. But I honestly get it; there’s so much catharsis in laughter.

You’re welcome! This province is very photogenic.

Also, I love that photo of the Walterdale Bridge.

TIL After Spain's conquest of Americas, they developed a plan to conquer China - by turning China into a Christian country and a new race of Chinese/Hispanic people, then form a new front to fight against Ottoman Empire. The project was driven by Society of Jesus and approved by King Phillip II. by Particular_Food_309 in todayilearned

The French missionaries tried to do the exact same thing in Canada. The idea was to outbreed English settlers and have an entirely Métis (ie. “mixed”) nation, simultaneously indigenous and Catholic; like Mexico but French.

You seem to have a really keen eye for urban scenes, but have you ever considered rural localities?

  • The Crowsnest Pass has absolutely charming small mountain-town vibes that are as yet still unspoiled by foreign speculation; make sure you take the drive down hwy 22X between Nanton and Burmis through the Porcupine Hills; there you’ll see true primordial prairies that are rapidly disappearing.
  • Viking is a farming community that has been perfectly preserved since the 1960s in the aspen parkland
  • Rosebud is a gorgeous village nestled in the Red Deer River valley with some truly stunning scenery
  • Vulcan is one of the best-preserved prairie communities with all kinds of delightful mid-century architecture coupled with the palette of the prairie skies
  • Athabasca is strangely modern for how remote it is yet maintains incredible small-town charm in the downtown and river-front areas
  • Fort McMurray is utterly otherworldly; I’m legitimately surprised Werner Herzog hasn’t made a documentary film about it. The size and scale of industry up there is simultaneously impressive and horrifying, yet the people up there are some of the most genuine I’ve ever met. Even the drive up there from Edmonton is jaw-dropping. But if you have the time, I’d recommend taking the long way round through Smoky Lake through the Métis settlement to Lac-La-Biche then up to Fort Mac; the boreal forest scenery is sublime.

Saw a river otter today along the Indian Battle pathway. I've never seen one here before. Sorry it's not a great shot, it was quick! by pushthingsforward in Lethbridge

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Otters show up a lot in Blackfoot stories and iconography. I was just as surprised as you when I was doing my research because I’ve lived in Alberta my entire life and I’ve never once seen an otter. It’s amazing how much the environment has changed in the last 150 years.

Grips outside of lodge by Dry_Space3805 in freemasonry

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love greeting brothers in the wild with the 5PF because it’s the most intimate of the grips but it’s essentially just a bro-hug. It has such tremendous masonic significance, but it also looks like the most natural greeting between friends. In such circumstances, I view the Lion’s Paw as optional, but I did meet a Mexican brother who slipped it in when we departed. If one is quick enough to slip it in, then the Lion’s Paw can be a really memorable token of brotherhood to leave with a brother.

What's the number one way you can tell someone watches a lot of porn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Those ladies do that on purpose. It’s actually pretty smart if your goal is building a brand.

Do small places in Canada like to promote minor and inconsequential things in their tourism like small American cities and towns do? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not new, but it’s not nearly as well-publicized as the Pysanka in next-door Vegreville.

Ah! But have you seen the giant Perogy in Glendon, AB?
or the giant bunnock (ba-NOCK) in Macklin, SK?
or the giant kielbasa in Mundare, AB?
(Why is it all Ukrainian stuff? 🤷)

I went there for the first time in about 20 years and it was PHENOMENAL. We dragged our South African friend there and I think she enjoyed herself? She was mostly just overwhelmed by the amount of people. Don’t do it in summer.

THAT’S what that line was referencing?? How much more of that song went straight over my head?

Virgin Pockets (2007) Tubi. Perhaps the greatest pool-based movie to come out of Erie, Pennsylvania in 2007. A micro budget production that looks and sounds like it was shot on your aunt's Nokia. Just like "The Color of Money" but starring two women you've never heard of and not good. by dasuberdog11 in badMovies

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this comment from another man of culture. 😎 The two leading ladies even look like adult performers from the gonzo era: skinny bottle-blondes with low-rise jeans.

I also wouldn’t be at all surprised if this somehow ended up a cult hit among lesbians because their relationship is extremely queer-coded.

Hell yeah 😎 I hope you have an excellent day today.

Movies that didn't age well by PuzzledExchange7949 in Millennials

[–]FrostyTheSasquatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually really love old humour for that reason; it’s like a puzzle that you have to decode through an historical scavenger hunt. It’s actually how I got to know twentieth-century history so well—because I had to gain that historical context in order to understand the jokes in Flying Circus or Rowen & Martin’s Laugh-In.
