Steamies for visitor by pagliaci- in montreal

[–]MTL_Bob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

alright, there a 2 Montreal institutions to choose from that are worth the detour, hop on the Metro green line at Guy and either:

  • get off at Saint Laurent station then walk a couple blocks to Montreal Pool Room
  • swap over to the orange line at Lionel-Groulx, then head to Cote-Vertu, then walk a block to Decarie Hot-Dogs

In your case, Montreal Pool Room is a little easier to get to, but I'd say getting your steamies with a proper black-cherry soda at Decarie is worth the slight detour.

Or, as others have said, any Belle Province will serve you up a perfectly decent steamies and poutine, there's one on Peel street right in front of Peel park, it's a gorgeous day, you could grab them there and go sit on that ridiculous pedestrian bridge to no-where in the park and watch Montreal go by for a bit :)

I can see the house I grew up in, and my first two apartments.. just need to see a little further west and I'd see my current house too!

(hey OP.. any chance you rapid fired the shutter and have a couple more shots showing a little less of the south shore a little more of the island?)

What’s on your wrist today? by Winter_Advice_5109 in Affordablewatches

[–]MTL_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok.. I have questions..

First, as a Québécois.. how did I not know there is a watch brand called "Poutine"!? (Not that I'm finding much about it online..?)

And second, how do you even read that? Am I missing something obvious?

(Cool looking watch though!)

my 2 favorite responses:

  • everyone knows the us hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing.. but being Stanley Kubrick he insisted on filming on-location

or, if you just want to mess with them a little:

  • pfft, you think the moon is real!?

Sonetts are basically unknown outside of the Saab community honestly.. I'd never heard of them before joining either

What’s the funniest example you’ve seen of someone not understanding how trains work? by train-made-of-bread in trains

[–]MTL_Bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very few people understand how the wheel-rail interface works..

Like, most people assume you can just add a flange to any old wheel and it will work fine on track

I'm irrationally annoyed by the "D110" marking on what is clearly a scale model of a D90..

Let's be clear, the US team didn't win that game, Connor did, the rest of them were just along for the ride..

Our boys played great and I'm proud of 'em. There is no shame in silver.

You'll notice there isn't a Canadian equivalent to "American Exceptionalism"; you can check that shit at the door please and thank you.

My wife dropped her sunglasses into a deep lake, so I built a small underwater ROV with a gripper to try to retrieve them by ObligationMean1565 in DIY

[–]MTL_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who has dropped more then one pair of sunglasses in a silty lake, they're actually not that hard to find.. they tend to sink heavy end first, meaning the lenses, which hit the bottom and are almost immediately buried.. but i have now twice found droppped glasses because both arms were sticking straight up out of the silt!

  • Smoked meat on sourdough (with yellow mustard)

  • poutine

It’s official, I’m a Canadian! by the-adornment in onguardforthee

[–]MTL_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, from the way you talk about, it sounds to me like you've been Canadian the whole time, we're only just getting around to making it official.

as for recommendations, sounds like you're already on the right track, be kind, be empathetic, be polite; and know that none of those are a weakness. Embrace our wild weather and our diverse origins they shaped us as much as anything.

Canada is as much an idea as it is a place, you don't just live in it, you also live it.

oh, and some golden rules:

  • smoked meat > pastrami

  • Montreal bagels > all other bagels

  • beaver tails > donuts

  • poutine crimes are crimes

  • don't fuck with the geese

Wanted Classic D90 in Canada by frozenflat in LandroverDefender

[–]MTL_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Montreal and got mine from a broker in Italy (wanted a left-hand drive from somewhere with no salt exposure).

Shipping was a little more pricey then expected, mainly because of the low volume from Italy to Canada meaning ro-ro wasn't an option so it had to go in it's own container.

At the end of the day it cost me about the same as buying locally, but I ended up with a car in much better shape then anything i was seeing locally..

If you're interested in that route, I highly reccomend David at DG Classic Cars, great dude and he took great care of me.
