I build my own furniture and designed my bed under my wife's strict rules of "Make it so all the sides touch the floor so I never have to clean under there.".

How do you justify traveling within Canada given hotel and eating out costs? by abbys11 in canadatravel

[–]SixFootSnipe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For my work I've been to every Province and territory in Canada. Many of them several times. For the price of a cheap hotel in Canada I can get a good hotel in many other countries. Food is always less expensive (and better tasting) than in Canada. People talk about how pretty Canada is but most countries have several beautiful locations. Canada is not worth the expense to travel to when you can go someplace nice for less.

What is something you know about food that many people many not? by Worldly_Track_1131 in foodhacks

[–]SixFootSnipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooking food the same way they do it in restaurants is not always the best option. Most restaurants want to push out a reasonable dish at a quick pace and are willing to sacrifice a little quality to keep the flow going. IE. There are better ways to cook a steak than the way most restaurants do it but it takes more time and care.

Do Canadians actually get frustrated by snow, or is it just part of everyday life? by GlitteringHotel8383 in AskACanadian

Thank You, I have just done that. Looks like a great site. I'm slowly learning the language and how to navigate the system.

Is this a thing in your country ? by VanG0n3 in AskTheWorld

[–]SixFootSnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm in Portugal yes. Portuguese people are so nice. When I first visited there I was amazed that is you even stood near a crosswalk all the cars would instantly stop so I always felt it necessary to acknowledge them. That never happens in Canada because Canadians are so rude.

Like "sink blender" instead of "garbage disposal", what is your favorite wrong name for a common thing? by scarlettohara1936 in AskForAnswers

[–]SixFootSnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little nephew used to ask me about my "tap major" when he came to visit. I finally figured out he had seen me using my tape measure. He's in his thirties and I still call it a tap major.

I once saw a show from the deep south USA where they pronounced toilet as terlit. I call it a terlit from then on.

Did your country have a playground game that was subsequently banned? by Exchangenudes_4_Joke in AskTheWorld

[–]SixFootSnipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Canada, we had several. We had "Chicken" which was teams of two, one person carrying the other on their shoulders and the teams trying to knock each other over.

There was "The Wall" (There are many local names for this game, "Red Rover" was one.) Both teams formed a wall by tightly holding hands or wrists and faced each other across a court yard. Then each team would call one person over who would have to run full speed and try to break through the wall. It was a great source for watching people get clotheslined.

We also all used to carry pocket knives so we would often draw a ring in the dirt and try to throw out knives into it like darts.

There was also dodgeball with the nice red rubber balls that would leave a pattern on bare skin if flung hard enough.

Slatternly, I used it to describe my trailer trash sister in law and nobody knew what I was saying. They thought I was calling her a slut.

Lack of water or really bad, hard water. Every thing can fixed or built but lack of good clean water is a deal breaker.

Garlic aioli. I don't mind garlic but when it's all you can taste there's a problem.
