But, you have single friends that could marry us, right?

Maybe some hot rugby players, for Vortex?

So: have you considered emigrating to Canada? Discuss. Canadians welcome to extol the virtues of their nation.

Yeah. On a semi-regular basis for most of my life.

I mean, I DO need to get all my paperwork in order, because looking at their citizenship information site, mine will still be valid if I get around to the filing part of it. But I no longer have a strong desire to move to the BC Interior, and Vancouver's expensive. Realistically, my time to have done it was a decade ago or more. So, you know. Pipe dream.

I'm another one who's a generation removed from Irish citizenship (maternal great-grandmother came from County Meade, so Mom can apply but not me).

I think it's both sad and funny that the likelihood of someone wanting to marry me for my French citizenship may now be greater than someone wanting to marry me for my American citizenship.

not your mom's socks.

Jars, would you be available for giving some 'visiting Ireland (although not emigrating... my sister would KILL me and then move my dead body to New Zealand)' tips?

Um, so long as you have absolutely no follow up questions, then yes, yes I do.

But there are oh so many, many rugby players floating around.

Scheduled haircut for Wednesday. I suppose that I could take in a picture of what my hair looked like after my last appointment rather than a random picture of someone else, huh?

Hells yeah. When were you planning on visiting?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A Ron Paul supporter gets upset over the location of his book at Barnes & Noble: [link]

However, it was still in the back corner of the sotre, bottom shelf, 3 copies. (there were 6 on April 30th an I bought two of them) I was under the apparenty mistaken impression that the BN Bestseller shelves featured prominently at the front of the store were for true bestsellers and I actually thought it was tied into the NYT list. NOT AT ALL.

A book can be #1 everywhere, INCLUDING at BN.com and they won't necessarily feature it on the bestseller shelf up front. There is not hard critera, either. Whatever IS selling or is projected to sell. READ: whichever publisher PAYS for the self space. It is FRAUD.

It should be the Barnes & Noble PICKS or FEATURES.
