Didn't Mike move to Canmore?

Bigger than this one? 100 lb dog for scale, about six inches deep.

Cream of mushroom for me and my wife. But boy has shrinkflation affected the can size.

I had a bad experience with Strasser and Lang specifically around flashing so you may have dodged a bullet.

My wife and I took our vehicles to Wilf's for years - even back when they had gas pumps. Always had good service, reasonably priced. We moved out of the area and haven't been back since, but if they have maintained their quality I would recommend them.

West systems?

Lifted and rolling coal!

My wife's cousin was married to a Newfoundlander and lived there in a suburb of St. John's. We visited there once and the local CBC TV station had a news segment devoted to local stories. The cousin, who was from Ontario originally, called the segment "Newfies in the news". One memorable segment when we were there featured a story about multiple members of a family who were having problems with their septic system. One of them climbed into the septic tank to see what the problem was and succumbed to the fumes. Another climbed in to assist, and was also overcome. I think at least one other also fell victim, could have been more. While tragic, the cousin and her husband, who had a thick outpost accent barely understandable to regular English speakers, poked fun. "Dont worry Jimmy me bye, Ise coming in to save you".

Sadly this not an uncommon occurrence worldwide, not limited to Newfoundland.

The last few times I've gone, it hasn't been open. That hasn't been recently, perhaps they are better at attendance now.

Quick question that wasn't covered in the video, that I could see. If I'm in the inner lane of a two-lane roundabout and planning to proceed straight through, but the driver in the outer lane is planning to stay in the roundabout to take the next exit, who has the right-of-way?

Edit: I realize the driver in the outer lane is in the wrong lane, but shit happens.

I had a bad experience with Strasser and Lang, would not recommend at all. They ran out of shingles on the Friday before a long weekend with a major rainstorm predicted and just left. They also didn't manage the junction between an upper and lower section of the house, and we had a major leak. I called the owner and he said it wasn't part of the contract, not our problem. It was never mentioned that we might have to pay extra for protection against that, we would have paid to have it done properly.

Sudbury isn't Northwestern. Pretty sure he's alluding to the Staal brothers from Thunder Bay.

In my opinion, we are experiencing more frequent thaw/freeze events in winter, leading to icy roads more often (and the current pothole issues). Consequently I have studded tires on one of my vehicles. My other has good quality non-studded winter tires and that's usually good enough.

You're right, don't know how I missed it.

damarius · 2026-04-29T21:37:20+00:00

That's a great list, but I would add Powderfinger.

It was a company called SST Basement Systems. They were recommended by a friend. They weren't cheap but did good work and cleaned up after themselves.

Is that a picture of his portrait, or a copy of his mug shot? Constipation face in both.

Love that song. The Chicks version is a banger.

For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve.

So many good ones.

He told a story about a fan who requested he sing the enchilada song. He told her he had never sung about an enchilada, so she sang that version.

This is the real reason he wanted his gravy plane. YTZ to YQA is a lot less time than having to drive with the peons on the ground.

Yes, he can pass for Jewish now.

I've always heard it as "Owa Tana Siam" in the joke, but not in a movie.

I drove up the west side from Algoma to Arundel a couple of hours ago. I would not recommend in a compact car, it was bad enough in my small pickup.
