'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!
Lunk was most excellent, if not for the food, then for the decisions made regarding the new decor of soon-to-be-our-kitchen.
mE - In the long tradition of Maritimers cowaring in the face of potential flurries, my geeklore meeting has been snowed-out tonight, even before the snow has come. And they call themselves Canucks.

Haha! I'll let you know about the after work festivities shortly.
Sorry I didn't make lunk, nor see you when I was fleeing the muzak.

Ooh, you just made me think of "Missing". Now I'll have to dig the cd out of storage.

Distasteful and unfunny are only the minor issues with that bit.

I guess the deal is that Triumph is always distasteful and unfunny. I find him continually offensive.
My advice to Quebec would be to not take it personally, is all. Not to not be offended, just not to feel singled out.
