Didn't know they still *made* Habitant Pea Soup. Big yellow can? Li'l picture of a coureur de bois as a trademark? Good stuff...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63843 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63843 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 15:12:05 -0600 Bring beer??!?!? What the hell do you think I am doing driving south to get other than great US craft beers. And picking a Montreal cabbie as a role model just does not work for me. Likely a Habs fan. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63840 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63840 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:41:53 -0600 ...we would not be enjoying that 50% increase in spending power of the WPD (Workers Paridise Dollar) against the USD allowing me to head south for good shopping this weekend. Alaaaan! C'mon down! And bring beer. Then you can tell me why, when offering to pay a cabbie in Montreal with his choice of WPD or the equivalent in USD, he'll grin and say, "We *like* green money up here" and snag the USD. Oh, yeah -- bring beer. You like our money, we like your beer -- a win-win situation...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63839 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63839 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:22:14 -0600 Hey K-M, I don't want you guys to be like us or we would not be enjoying that 50% increase in spending power of the WPD (Workers Paridise Dollar) against the USD allowing me to head south for good shopping this weekend. ;-) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63837 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63837 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 13:06:12 -0600 Heh...Alan, a little prickly are we? I have no problem with the anti-fascists. Even if they are socialists. I love those kind of socialists (big kisses). Just, when that's all done, please don't tell us we should be like Canada and build worker's paradise. I won't come up there (to stay) and you can make it all you want if you can. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63835 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63835 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:40:11 -0600 So anti-fscism is now bad? You guys really have to drop the fantasies, figure out a principle and stick with it. And stay south of Canada as you might just run into a worker's paradise. We couldn't have that confusion unsettle your day dreams. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63834 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63834 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:25:42 -0600 Give 'em a Bravo Zulu!, Kat. That covers the Navy. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63833 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63833 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:53:24 -0600 On another comment, you know what really stinks? To see "Westboro Baptist Church" from "Kansas". Gives Kansas an bad name. Then people don't want to come here because they get all freaked out about the "religious nut balls" who they think are running the joint because, you know, the DA went after late term abortions and under age abortions and under age sex via the "report as possible rape" laws that are supposed to protect the young from being exploited, but the news made it out to be "those darn evangelical Christian people messing in people's business". So, we add some fruit cakes who claim to be a "church" and the aryan nation trying to set up shop here and we're a bunch of racist, religious zealot nutballs. And, I'm complaining because I'm from Kansas, live in close proximity to Kansas and suffer for the bleed over. For the PGR and folks...I just want to say "Hoo-ah!", "Semper fi" and what ever else goes for the armed forces. Get some! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63832 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63832 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:38:37 -0600 Bill...LOL You're killing me. I was just thinking that same thing. I despise any attempts to create a Utopian "workers paradise", even if it is a washed out version because someone always wants to tell you that you aren't "utopian" enough. Then they want to arrest you or have you stricken from the "rolls" through some manner or the other. I say, give me some good ol' fashioned greedy capitalist laissez faire and let the chips fall where they may. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63831 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63831 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:30:49 -0600 Yeah, ya gotta keep an eye on those sneaky fascists, Alan. Once they're in power, they wanna run *every*thing. As opposed to those nice socialists, who just want to run -- uhhhhh -- *everything*... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63827 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63827 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 09:33:04 -0600 Thank you. It's a hard job being an anti-fascist socialist these days. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63823 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/08/hi_fires_31_aug.html#comment-63823 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 08:07:51 -0600
