Previous Day :: Next Day

EvilGentleman: Thank you dearly for your kind words. I just might take you up on the drink offer, but only if you know a safe place I can park my car till i'm sober. I was in Belleville last Monday, but I have not been to TO since August 1999.

Elicar: EvilG, give me a heads up when you come to Toronto. I will buy you a drink! There is nothing wrong with you! I think you are one great guy, with a mind of his own who does not hesitate to share it! That's a good thing!

in response to Cheap Sex $60

Elicar: I have "ran" away, EvilG. Although I go home (take note I still call home) every two years for at least a month, it is always nice to come home (Toronto is my home now!) Will I go home again to stay? I used to say in my retirement, but I...

EvilGentleman: There! All my babelfishing-related stuff was reposted on arcticwarrior.blogspot.com/

Oleg: Carltan, it's ok, we wont tell )

in response to Sand Clock?

EvilGentleman: Say jack, where is that story about a banana and your brother you mentioned on my road banana post back on March 25th? I would love to hear the story.

in response to A Grisly Example of Man\'s Inhumanity

EvilGentleman: I saw some ostriches at one of those safari-type drive through zoos just off the south side of I-70 in Missouri once. The place was so run down, I felt really sorry for the animals. I think the reason they come to the car for food, is because they are...

in response to What a Bird Like You Doing in a Place Like This?

EvilGentleman: What are you under? A walkway? No, looks too weak for that... hmmmm.... Maybe a dugout at a municipal ballpark?

in response to Part-time Optical Illusionist

EvilGentleman: The grass is always greener on the other side So away to far-away lands shall you roam But no matter how far you may ride Will there ever be a place like home

in response to Take Me Away...

Flib: its this kind of attitude that is tearing the world apart, hope it feels nice for ya to be part of the problem and not the solution. mon nom: 11th Jun 2005 - 13:54 GMT Haha. Yeah, Beware of IRA is right. I'm so glad I'm not a dirty Protestant. >=)

in response to Rural Northern Ireland

EvilGentleman: Well, I do a lot of posting from Montreal, Chris. So maybe we will wind up crossing paths somewhere. And from 1976 to 1980, I lived in Chatham (now part of the municipality of Miramichi), so I know what small towns are like. But at least Sussex was on the...

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: I seem to stirring up too much shit lately. I don't know what is wrong with me. Sorry, all.

in response to Cheap Sex $60

EvilGentleman: Ok. Anyways, I was only commenting on the fact that I too, have been refused access to locations here in Canada based on my ethnicity. I did not mean for it to explode into a huge thing.

in response to Cheap Sex $60

EvilGentleman: LOL, that is the ironic part. I have read the editorial policies, but I obviously misinterpreted the meaning of "stands on its own". It may take me a while to get a better feel of things. By the way, were you in Montreal yesterday?

in response to Babelfishing

Elicar: You'll never know if you don't try!

in response to Take Me Away...

Elicar: "but inequality and discrimination are real and they exist in canada much as they exist elsewhere." Exactly. I did not say we are perfect. Heck, I myself have my own biases. So long as there are different cultures, there would be different practices which could result to misunderstandings. Inciting, rather than clarifying...

in response to Cheap Sex $60

hool: no need to be sorry. nobody was offended. i'll leave this up a while longer because it will help to make everyone aware of the guidelines for contributions. i understand that most new people will likely not search out the editorial policy before contributing an article....

Chris Erb: What city do you live in Jack?

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

EvilGentleman: And as far as reposting the comments goes, no need. Just delete the whole article, and never mind reposting, unless you really want to. I think the few people that would have found this funny have seen it, so its purpose is done.

in response to Babelfishing

EvilGentleman: I see from the design of these public urinals that actually, unless the guy was extremely well-endowed, thus causing him to pee from a few steps further back than usual, all the person walking past will see is the backside of the guy, without actually seeing any private parts or...

in response to Public Urinals: Amsterdam

EvilGentleman: Um, just to clarify things a bit... When I said that Canada was the home of Apartheid, I was neither being derogatory, nor trying to attribute South Africa's old conditions to Canada. I was merely stating a simple historical fact. When South Africa was looking for similar legislation that they...

in response to Cheap Sex $60

EvilGentleman: Aw darn. Sorry guys. Live and learn, you know? I'm kinda stuck somewhere in between regular poster and newbie here. Give me time, I'll shape up. I honestly thought it would clutter up the other post too much, and it is sort of a continuation of a discussion elaine and...

colavitos ghost: Everyone always thinks that car is called the "Fiesta". It's actually a "Festiva".

in response to gotta keep the eyes open round here

jack: chris there are apartment buildings in the city that you can put that building into the basement and still have room for a christmas tree.

in response to Fredericton Skyscrapers

Romar: A good way to keep the product off your clothes would be to stop thieving and put all that creative energy into something that doesn't entail making other people's lives a misery.

in response to Anti-Climb Paint

jack: this is all ridiculous! lets get back to photography.

Romar: This stuff sounds great.

jeeff: i agree. this site isn't just a chat board. try to keep your audience in mind. if i were to draw a thesis from the above post, it would be: "internet translation doesn't work very well." what does that have to do with the themes of...

in response to Babelfishing

jeeff: elicar - how about the reservations up north where people continue to be stuck without clean drinking water and reliable infrastructure? how about the saskatoon police (to name only one notorious department)? the amount of racism against first nations people in canada remains huge. and aside from that,...

hool: i'm going to delete this article and re-post it in the comments of the respective article. from http://citynoise.org/about: Starting a new thread to comment on an existing one is discouraged, and unless it stands on its own, it will be deleted. this article does not stand on its own, in any...

steve: i agree with joe. it is pretty suck

in response to Public Urinals: Amsterdam

Chris Erb: "What kind of evil can lead people to do such things it just doesnt make sence." The same evil that persuaded Bush and co. to attack Iraq and cause thousands upon thousands of Iraqi citizens to die and live in constant fear maybe?

in response to Video Stills of the Pre-9/11 New York

Chris Erb: What use does this building have?

in response to Abandoned Spaceship

Elicar: I forgot to include this. The TTC subway track under the Bloor Street Viaductwww.answers.com/topic/bloor-street-viaduct. The viaduct itself became the centre of controversy when the city council approved in 1998 the construction of a barrier due to a number of suicides from that bridge (treat the root of the problem, people wanting...

Elicar: Speaking of a thread evolving to a different life of its own... Apartheid... in Canada? For a country who has opened it's borders to everyone, for a country who has legislated equality in the workplace, for a country who boasts of the most diverse population... There may be some isolated incidents where we...

EvilGentleman: I have only ever seen the velotaxis in the Old Montreal area that is set up for tourism. Actually, I was in the area today and saw none, but maybe I was not in the right area of Old Montreal, hard to say for sure.

in response to Montreal Scenery, 2004

EvilGentleman: Try babelfishing "I love you." from English to Japanese to English to Korean to English to Italian to French to German to English to French to Portuguese to French to Italian to French to Greek to English to Chinese Traditional to English. I think you will find the answer simple and...

in response to Babelfishing

EvilGentleman: LMAO... Just waiting for my exams to begin in a week. I can just picture some poor schmoe from some remote corner of the globe meeting his new love, who he met over the internet, for the very first time. There he is, holding her hands in front of him,...

in response to Babelfishing

EvilGentleman: Banning certain backgrounds in Canada? Tell me about it. I remember not being able to go to the Plaza Bar in Chateauguay back in the 1980's, because they had an intermittent "No Indians" policy, depending on how recent the last big brawl was. And even today, it can be difficult...

in response to Cheap Sex $60

Elicar: How about the simple phrase, I love you To French je t'aime To Portuguese de o gusto Back to French du goût To Italian del gusto Back to English Of the taste Hah? I think I'll use sign language. EvilG...Don't you have a homework to do?

in response to Babelfishing

EvilGentleman: I was going to do my babelfishing here, but I got pretty carried away with it, so I gave it its own thread here. Elaine, you are invited for sure.

in response to A Grisly Example of Man\'s Inhumanity

EvilGentleman: I noticed that non-Latin alphabet characters seem to cause problems with the formatting for the main posts, but since I have seen them in the comments area without too much trouble, I hope this will be visible in the proper alphabets. Here are the parts I could not show you...

in response to Babelfishing

Elicar: ...and the other half loitering. When I used to work near there, the mall is always full of kids. I rarely saw a shopping bag in their hands. Perhaps, they all went to see a movie. There was even a time when kids of a certain ethnic background were banned...

in response to Cheap Sex $60

EvilGentleman: Considering the fact that this frozen spectacle was later reported by the NY Post to be a rabbit, one can only assume that the Post reporter either witnessed the block of ice at a later point, when the ice was more melted, or interviewed someone who did. So now we...

Chris Erb: Are the velo taxis quite common in Montreal? I take off for the city on Monday so I'll keep an eye out.

in response to Montreal Scenery, 2004

anon: I agree we need more colour and variety in cars here in Toronto. A surge in lime green smart cars, bugs or turquoise/cyan mini's... might do the trick!

in response to One Building with 2 Addresses

Elicar: I visit Texas often enough because my sister lives there. I don't know if this is true for the entire state of Texas, but where she is, you need a specific ID to order an alcoholic beverage. I am not much of a drinker, but I have completed several applications...

in response to Goode Co. Texas Seafood

xep: I don't understand why everyone is assuming this is cruelty to animals. Maybe the artist found the cat dead in the street, was moved by it, and wanted other people to notice. How many times have you driven past a dead animal and not really thought twice about...
