I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Buffy ,'Get It Done'


Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness  

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You Canuck freaks.

"Also, Canadian laws and regulations intended to protect Canadian citizens and landed immigrants from government intrusion sometimes limit the depth of investigations."

Oh DEAR GOD! Hello... sovereign nation here! No pot for you!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I quit today!!! I'll still be working for another month, but the end is in sight. It went really well - I did end up talking about why I was unhappy (at the urging of my boss) but that let me find out that he's had similar problems with Markus, which is good to know. Whew!

Megan, thanks for that link! I think it really is inevitable - it's just a question of time. When the Ontario Supreme Court said that the law needed to be changed, I was so excited. I realized that by the time Nora has met someone she'd want to marry, it could be legal. Then I was so disappointed in the government for appealing.

while Canada has been helpful in the fight against terrorism, it doesn't spend enough on policing and places too much emphasis on civil liberties.
This is both hilarious and tragic. What is the US coming to?

Congrats 'Ouise. I'm glad the quitting went well. And jobma vibes for the future!

Thanks, Sue!

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?

places too much emphasis on civil liberties.

Um.... Isn't there a line in the US National Anthem about the whole 'Land Of The Free'? Did someone in the State Department manage to miss that phrase in their Civics class? Or maybe Francis Scott Key was actually talking about Canada, that would make more sense.

No, no, no. You're not seeing the distinction. "Freedom" is a good thing, and the US has more of it that anyone else. In fact, members of the American government have been known to say that they have all of the freedom. Civil liberties, on the other hand, are bad. Look at that word "civil". What does it make you think of? Things like "civil service" - we all know they're lazy and wasting the taxpayers' money. Or how about "civil engineering"? That's all about sewage. Clearly civil liberties are bad and have nothing to do with freedom.

*golf claps for Ouise* I'd like to COMM that!

Megan, the civil servant (I hope that doesn't have anything to do with sewage)

btw, tomorrow is free comic book day. Ouise, didn't Nora get a bunch free last year?
