No! You did?! Jesus agnostic Christ! For the love of God write a guest post or something about it! What was it like? What did you eat? Were you a passenger or crew?
Alas, vegas is a no go for me so far. The assorted social groups have me nailed down around here at the end of May for my birthday. Believe me I'm mornful about it, the idea of replicating the League convivial environment only in real time conversation without the potential of drive by trolling is enticing.
I'm an utter ameture for actual sailing compared to you gents. I can't hold a candle to those experiences. So my Atlantocentrism is not only emotional but utterly based on subjective experiences. I'm a textbook oceanist.
Hah! When it comes to oceans occidental is the only way to go; I don't count any oriental bodies of water as much competition. Also I'm a liberal and thus forward thinking; the Atlantic is an expanding force in the world of oceanic affairs. The Pacific, while currently larger, is the relentlessly shrinking refuge of the hidebound traditionalists doomed (in the next few billion years) to be turned into a sea, a straight and eventually a scrunched up mega vein of oil. And what the heck is with those typhoons? Even their hurricanes are named funny.
Yeah well Titanic went down with agnostic God only knows how many tons of new and old gold on board. Poor souls, I don't think drowning or freezing would be my preferred way of going.
Aww Blaise, I don't mean to be too down on the Great Lakes, they pay tribute to their dear mum Queen Atlantic like all proper occidental water bodies should. I'll admit to a certain bias as well, the Atlantic rocked me to sleep in my Grandfathers fishing boat before I was old enough to even know what she was. For a mealy mouthed agnostic like me the Atlantic is one of the places where I can go to hear God when it's foggy and the horns blow and then... softly... later... the echoes answer back across the waves as if blown from the shores of Avalon. I was born beside those waters; my ashes will go back to them one day when I die.
I'd accept happily James. Just because I don't think my local waterways can't hold a candle to my Grandmother Atlantic doesn't mean I am blind to their charms.
Oh aye I know the Lakes have plenty of water in them; but they haven't eaten a Titanic. They didn't host two World Wars! Hell, you can even drink them. Who can muster up reverence towards bodies of water that are potable?!?
I grew up in Nova Scotia James. That meant I paddled my feet in an expanse of water that spans continents and drowned Atlantis. Call me a water snob but yes, I consider myself very thoroughly land locked in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. Puddles, the whole lot of them! Muddy fresh water puddles abutting right up to that huge fresh water pond the locals have the audacity to call Lake Superior. There’s plenty enough water to drown in there but what the hell, I could drown in my bath tub and people have managed to drown in only a few gallons. I can’t muster up much respect or reverence for bodies of water I’m fully capable of drinking out of (though the pollution is a different matter, yuck!).
Feugh Blaise! You're very well travelled. Well travelled enough, I bet, to know better than to tell a boy who was raised on the grim grey shores of the North Atlantic that any water that can be found in Duluth qualifies as big enough! You're just yanking my chain and havin some fun at my expense. Fie, for shame!
I've not experienced the closet myself but by all accounts the only thing more harrying than exiting it is remaining imprisoned within it. My best wishes for you and your family in the future.
I'm so confused... Moxnox? Kathy Shaidle? I know this should be familiar to me but it's not. What little I remember about her was something about mansplaining and feminism run amok? Isn't this new post like the opposite of that?
Wait and she's calling you a beta male? Dude, if you weren't already seeing Maribou I'd suggest you ask her out on a date!
The Newfies (as we affectionately call them) have many social perculiarities, their patios being but one of them. Their fondness for odd names for their communities is another. They're also notoriously gregarious, hospitable and enormously friendly.
You're both forgiven, though you'll be shocked to learn that Eastern Canadians don't say "Eh" that's an Ontarian thing. Though we have our own... unique... regional dialects (speaking with people from Newfoundland can be quite an experience my pretty bit o' cod).

A lovely song, somewhat akin to the folk music they play on the East Coast of Canada.

FWIW I still suspect that JJJ is either a conservative plant or Triple H's crazy cousin.
