Previous Day :: Next Day

Sticky: I can too but it feels unatural.

in response to Cleveland Thinks

Cameo: Vroom vroom! putta putta put put put.

in response to Scooter

Cameo: Today: looks like they are giving the windows a shine...I'm glad I'm not up there!

in response to CN Tower

Sirhcbre: I must go visit this CN Tower.

in response to CN Tower

jeeff: sirhcbre - you can see it from pretty much anywhere in the city. a few years ago i went on a camping weekend to hart house farm (owned & operated by U of T). it's about an hour's drive north of the city. yet from the hill...

in response to CN Tower

adam: fuck ya!!!

in response to Bender Graf

Kat: We are close!! Right now we're three posts away from tying with Brooklyn. I'm almost afraid to hope.

in response to CN Tower

Cameo: Don't tip the machine! It might crush you!

in response to Coke in a Pepsi Machine

EvilGentleman: Frankly, some of your comments bewilder me. You are preaching to the choir. If you look at my comments dated July 26th, you can see my closed mindedness in action. I even suggested I would like to try it. If I have caused offense in some way, I apologize, but...

in response to $95 For a Bowl of Soup?

Danny: Just had my Haro Extreme ripped off, in front of 700 University Ave in broad daylight. It has the V-bent frame & high end components. I've been to Igor's on Queen near Strachan, but he's willey and knows when people are sniffing around. He's been to court...

in response to A Picture of My Bike

kman: EvilGentleman, I can certainly agree with you there. However that opinion is also very subjective. As you would find spending $95 on something that will be turned into shit, I find paying more than $50 for a ticket to one of thousands sporting events that you can watch on...

in response to $95 For a Bowl of Soup?

EvilGentleman: It sometimes seems that way, stevo. But some of these nutjobs target prostitutes, customers at fast food franchises, hitchhikers, truck drivers, members of churches, mosques or synagogues, postal workers, etc. Nobody is truly safe.

in response to Murder at Dawson College

jack: good find, i've never seen anything like that.

in response to Harbour Hoover

stevo: Why do these nutjobs always go after intelligent, good people that contribute something worthwhile to our society?

in response to Murder at Dawson College

EvilGentleman: Very nice, jack. Good place to relax. I wish I had something like that.

in response to My Future Garden

Susannah: When I lived in NY as a kid I remember shootings, stabbings, razor bladings, and all out smack downs in our schools, one kid was actually blinded with battery acid by some guy - of course this was in the 70's. More recently, I recall there was a serial rapist...

in response to Dawson CGEP Shooting

Peter: wow, good find. that boat is really cool... and very monochrome, too.

in response to Harbour Hoover

EvilGentleman: plato says: New York implemented new rules about confiscating firearms after a 1992 school shooting in Brooklyn left two students dead. www.cnn.com/US/9805/22/school.reduced.violence/. The new rules failed in 2002, when 2 more students were shot. www.keystosaferschools.com/Stude . . . udents_Concerned21502.htm It seems that New York still has school shootings, but hey, maybe you can put up a...

in response to Dawson CGEP Shooting

joey: it's not a john deere. wrong color.

in response to Harbour Hoover

Susannah: I think hopelessness and senseless violence are a global issue, whatever form it takes.

in response to Dawson CGEP Shooting

EvilGentleman: Sorry about the previous comment, but when you are my size, new toilet seats are pretty standard shopping items.

in response to Murder at Dawson College

EvilGentleman: Wal-Mart sells toilet seats for $8.94? Wow, what a bargain! My hardware store charges $12.99

in response to Murder at Dawson College

EvilGentleman: We park in driveways and drive on parkways - I'm getting dizzy now...

in response to Traffic

EvilGentleman: That pic I took, I actually got out of the car, had a cigarette, took a picture, read a little bit, then hopped back into the car. Nobody had moved yet. jack - maybe it should be called a parkway? No, I think a parkway is where I put my car...

in response to Traffic

Sirhcbre: Despite its lack of excitement, it's a very beautiful garden.

in response to My Future Garden

Sirhcbre: I find it's best not to rely on nostalgia, it tends to be deceptive whereas it likes to leave out many of the bad parts of the past and glorify the good. Before God was declared dead ect, etc North America was caught in a very stifling time. ...

in response to Murder at Dawson College

Sirhcbre: But how many kids have been shot and killed on their walk home from school? Although New York is getting better, I'm sure you'll find it has a higher murder rate than Montreal.

in response to Dawson CGEP Shooting

jai: well... it made you look !!!!!! and 47 others lol

in response to Get Plastered!

Sally: Thanks for #3 :D

in response to Proho Graf

jamie: nice. very arty. i like it.

in response to Traffic

jamie: exxxcelent

in response to Death, Where Is Thy Sting?

Peter: hahaha... also: i like how that building is outlined in neon. when you pass it at night, it looks like a nightclub.

in response to Arch of Sanitation

ksedge: ksedge can

in response to Cleveland Thinks

jack: wait, i'll go get catherine, she's in the bar at the algonquin.

in response to Get Plastered!

jack: how in the world did he get his right elbow on his left knee? try it, its hard. how many of you can do it? number 1-jack-no

in response to Cleveland Thinks

jack: nice pic

in response to Urban Mountain

jack: how about the long island expressway,,, why do they call it an expressway when you can only go at 10 miles per hour.

in response to Traffic

jack: its nice to see people having fun out there anyway.

in response to Ave Du Parc Airport?

jack: i want to go back to, 'leave it to beaver days'. think about this, in the 60's or 70's we proclaimed God was dead, women burned their bras, abortion started, and liberalism became the new god of our country. terrorists made their first attack in the nation in...

in response to Murder at Dawson College

jack: no one in new york ever brought a gun to school and killed someone, how about those facts, plato.

in response to Dawson CGEP Shooting

aer suzuki: very, very cool photos. tokyo is a city i'm always curious about, and probably will be until i get a chance to visit it myself, thanks for the post.

in response to Tokyo Architecture

EvilGentleman: Kind of resembles C. Montgomery Burns.

in response to Death, Where Is Thy Sting?

Selig: i'd be paranoid too. great shots!

in response to Haverford Hospital (more)

zagg: Update: Frederick is no longer missing. I'm sure many of you have been sleepless with worry knowing that my pirate was missing. Rest assured he is home and safe. Aparently I took him to Pride in Toronto because he was at the bottom of the backpack I...

in response to Rolls Along Past Houses, Farms and Fields

zagg: Now how exactly did EG's wife hijack this thread?

in response to Everything Looks Perfect from Far Away

Andrew Smith: Nice photos Brian - especially like the Cadishead one with 'The George' pub on the right hand side.

in response to Irlam, Manchester

dave: Yeah, if Fuzz One can write the story of his life, then I'm sure others could do it. Personally, I'd like JA, Min, Iz the Wiz, Blade, Lee or Seen to do it. Can you imagine Blade, Lee or Seen recounting how they pulled off their countless whole car masterpieces?

in response to Sane Smith: Puttin' the Green in Greenpoint

joey: leaves me to wonder! was drew carey ever in cleveland, or was he just green-screened with the lorain-carnegie bridge.

in response to Lorain-Carnegie Bridge

EvilGentleman: At least this one did a lot better than the one in Saint Hubert, about 20 km east of there. That plane hit two cars and flipped, and put a few people in the hospital. Of course, since it was a Piper Cherokee 140, it would have had low wings,...

in response to Ave Du Parc Airport?

Sirhcbre: I'm lucky to live on the only remaining section of Decarie. I often wonder what the southern parts of the boulevard looked like before the highway ripped through it. Marcel-Laurin scares the shit out of me. I used to avoid it (when biking) at all times.

in response to Traffic

Cameo: I'm sure it won't take long for them to return. I'll try to make a note of who strikes first and get the pics up here.

in response to Anti-graf / Clean Canvas

EvilGentleman: LOL, fair enough, since you encounter Decarie daily and I encounter Cote-de-Liesse daily. In all honesty, I usually hate the Decarie Expressway more, but today was special. At one point, I moved 3 metres in 15 minutes. Damn, it was bad today. As you have noticed when we do the odd...

in response to Traffic

Sirhcbre: I hate Cote-de-Liesse too! Not for as many reasons as Decarie but it's close.

in response to Traffic

A Volunteer: And yes EG , people like David Ervine and John White did exactly that in bringing peace to Ulster. The latters crime obviously more severe than the former, stabbing Senator Paddy Wilson ( if i remember right ) over 30 times and opening him up ear to ear. Then...

in response to Ulster Young Militants: Shankhill

EvilGentleman: Oh yeah? Try the Cote-de-Liesse Expressway. I was stuck in it for an hour and 35 minutes this afternoon.

in response to Traffic

Sirhcbre: Your neighbourhood looks absolutely beautiful

in response to First Dusting of Snow

jeeff: second last. it looks like the plane is just queued up in traffic, and the cop's antics are a nice touch too.

in response to Ave Du Parc Airport?

Sirhcbre: He was also very lucky to land during a red light or else he would have taken a few cars out with him during landing. He's obviously a very good piolet with a lot of luck. I hope he bought a lottery ticket.

in response to Ave Du Parc Airport?

EvilGentleman: That was actually a pretty talented piece of flying. If I remember correctly, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk has a 32-foot wingspan, and the streetlights overhang the street, so he had to be accurate down to the foot to make this landing. A busted wingtip is a small price to pay...

in response to Ave Du Parc Airport?

Sirhcbre: Out of curiosity, what do you like about the second shot? I myself wasn't particularly happy with it and I actually almost didn't put it in.

in response to Ave Du Parc Airport?

EvilGentleman: Canada is generally safer. This incident has frightened everyone, and reminded us of some of the worst-case scenarios resulting from being in a very public environment, but the reality is, this was a one-off event. Montreal Island averages about 50 murders a year these days, with a population of about...

in response to Dawson CGEP Shooting

jeeff: haha, the second last shot is golden.
