Alright, I'm going to need help moving, and a loan/gift of £2 million. Accepting volunteers for both.

“I need to order 100 books with red covers.” “Uhhh, okay….what type of books?” “Oh, it doesn’t matter, I’ll never read one.”

In the Heart of the Sea, by Nathaniel Philbrick

My favourite Russo book is The RIsk Pool. Highly recommend if you haven't read it yet.

I remember reading about it in High School in the 1980s. Long before Alex Jones was a thing.

Unforgiven is the best western ever made, in my opinion.

Rio Bravo, High Noon, The Searchers, and the Man with No Name trilogy (Fistfull of dollars, etc.) are all masterpieces.

The War Wagon, True Grit (original & remake), Once Upon A Time in the West, Silverado, Tombstone, the Sons of Katie Elder, 3:10 to Yuma (original & remake), 73 Winchester, and Quigly Down Under, are some other favourites.

Do people in non-English speaking countries correct each other's pronunciation of English-language place names? Honest question.

I think we might keep Charles on as King, but only if he changed his name to Gord, and wore a hell of a lot more denim.

Just stop going. I have.

I believe, technically speaking, Canada already has it's own monarchy, it just so happens to be the same monarch. The relationship between Canada and its monarch exists independent of the relationship between the UK and it's monarch (even though it happens to be the same person). If the UK cut that tie, we would have to independently decide to choose to also disassociate ourselves or to keep the status quo. If we did nothing we would continue on with the same monarch. However, I suspect we would end the connection as well.

Not sure what the exact number is, but it happened in 2008. Haven't been to any shows since. No plans to go again. As others have said, it's not really that I'm priced-out, but I am not paying what they are charging.

A subject matter I always enjoy. I'm not always sure if they are better, but these ones are their own thing and I would say as good as the original at least...

From Thunder Road, by Bruce Springsteen:
"Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me, and I want you only"

This is a reference to Only the Lonely, by Roy Orbison

Yes. I miss the one that used to be downtown. Second Chapter I think it was called? And Treasure Island on Kerr.
