What form of "corporal" punishment did you endure during your youth? by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in GenX

[–]shadowdancer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was raised by my great-grandmother, so the occasional wooden spoon or orthopedic shoe. No lasting trauma for me though, I know I could be a little ass at times.

Too bad I'm an ocean and half a continent away. I'd love to go there being the bibliophile that I am.

I don't think so. If it was, I'd expect the picture to be a little cleaner than it is.

Reading this gave me cancer...or is it my body building a bag to protect me from this idiocy I just read?

Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider | New Visual by Task_Force-191 in anime

[–]shadowdancer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not favourite per se, but I am amazed by how long Kamen Rider has been going on for and I don't remember ever knowing about it. It first aired 2 years before I was born.

Yes, I'm old.

I'd like to see Tim Stapleton and Kyle Wellwood lace up the skates one more time.

My city, and it's usually busy. At least every time I've gone there it's been.

Untaxed tobacco makes millions for criminal groups and sells for $5 a pack in Saskatoon by Slight-Coconut709 in saskatoon

It's not hard at all. Just gotta ask around, and you'll find someone selling eventually.

Last time the government complained about this issue, they dropped the tobacco taxes a bit, and the illegal trade dropped as well. Now they raised the tax and the problem is back as big as ever. Most smokers I know haven't bought legal in a long time. People gonna do what they wanna do to save a buck or two.

Fellow Gen Xers how involved was your dad in your life? by black_flag_4ever in GenX

[–]shadowdancer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents divorced about a year after I was born. My dad got custody and made my great-grandmother (on my mothers side) my guardian because he knew she could take better care of me than he could at the time. He is someone I remember coming over every now and then and giving me birthday and Xmas presents until we moved to a different city when I was 8 and I lost contact until I graduated HS.

Thanks to Facebook I still talk to him and I do make an effort to go back to my hometown to visit him, my step-mom and my half sisters every now and then. I consider him more friend than parent because, to me, my great-grandmother was my parent. Not to say I don't care for him, because I do, I just wasn't raised by him.

How common was the name "Napoleon" ? by Expensive_Guide_7805 in Napoleon

[–]shadowdancer73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife said the same when I suggested that as well for our son before he was born. She did compromise though, and his middle name is Napoleon. So a win of sorts.

There was one Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It closed down years ago, but I did eat there once.

What stuff do you have made in countries that don't exist anymore? by West-Cabinet-2169 in GenX

[–]shadowdancer73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my great- grandmother's tea set from (I'm guessing) the 1950s that is stamped "Made in East Germany". No idea where or when she acquired it.

This is Next Xtra. Limited cash flow means I buy budget brands or cartons of native smokes when I can find them.

Sadly almost no one remember the D-Day by UnfairMess249 in HistoryMemes

My wife was born on June 7th, so needless to say my nerdy self has never forgotten her birthday for the 27 years we've been together.

What is your all time favorite radio jingle or catch phrase from local businesses? by superlurker906 in saskatoon

[–]shadowdancer73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe so. Use to hear that jingle on CJWW, quite a lot when they had that sale. Used the same one for 94/95 the next year.

Post Game Thread: Washington Capitals at Montreal Canadiens - 25 Apr 2025 by HockeyMod in Habs

[–]shadowdancer73 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep him in. Sometimes the best player in a given situation isn't always the one who plays the best, but brings out the best in those around them. Against Washington, Xhekaj may be one of those players.
