Comments about evil gentlemanThere are 100 comments about "evil gentleman"
EvilGentleman: Heh, I used to do 50 km/h on flat roads on my clunky old $99 mountain bike from Canadian Tire. I could peak at 58 to 60. Mind you, I could only keep that pace...... EvilGentleman: anon, I thank you for educating us on the train parts. I think of trains as big noisy metal things that carry stuff, and sometimes have graf on the outside. I am a total moron...... EvilGentleman: Hell no! Saturday was Maiden day, and Sunday was Crue day. And thanks for commenting here, I totally forgot about posting all the other pics of the other bands.... EvilGentleman: I wonder if this is a branch of the Bush family...... EvilGentleman: Two years and a few months later, this article still defines several different conflicts in a way that few if any articles can.
{Motorists} vs {Cyclists}
{Road Rage} vs {Radical Activism}
{Male} vs {Female}
{Entitled} vs {Empowered}
The article that...... EvilGentleman: They now seem to take place every Sunday, rain or shine. But when the weather is really bad, only the most hard-core tam-tam people stay there. Last year, they kept going until Halloween, if I...... EvilGentleman: A little email to the editors and a lot of respect goes a long way.... EvilGentleman: I was wondering what it said. I am so useless when it comes to reading graf. Unless some goof like me decides to tag everything in Times New Roman or Arial...
And speaking of graffiti timelapses,...... EvilGentleman: Hehe, it kept their maintenance guy busy for two days. The last two photos were taken thru my rear view mirror because he saw me taking the 5th pic and started glaring at me like...... EvilGentleman: To me, it would depend heavily on the particulars of the location where the photo was shot. If the man in the photo was in the midst of a well-frequented public space, then public domain...... EvilGentleman: BostonVisitor, I honestly have no clue about the costs of prostitutes in the city, nor where to go for the best deals. But like any other commodity, the sex market will provide better quality for...... EvilGentleman: Every condo comes with entertainment: You can play {plinko} with the other balconies.... EvilGentleman: True Peter. That is why I use fanatical as an adjective and not a noun in its own right. It differentiates the fanatical vegans from the quieter zagg-like ones. Actually, there are a lot of...... EvilGentleman: Nice to know that there are enough fanatical vegans to go around. And I thought North America was hoarding them all for themselves...
I usually put ground pork in my pasta sauces. Same sawdust filler, lower...... EvilGentleman: Jeez, and I had always thought that Eritrea was a country on Africa's Red Sea coast which recently (early 1990's) gained its freedom from Ethiopia. Capital Asmera, population around 5 million? And a former Italian...... EvilGentleman: I remember as a child in 1980, sitting in an Ocala, Florida parking lot with my dad while my mother shopped in a _HOPPING ___TER.
We have made random "hopping ter" jokes ever since.
And Jamie is...... EvilGentleman: Jennifer, you must be unfamiliar with this site to post comments such as you did above. If you browse CE's other articles, which you can do by clicking on his name just under the main...... EvilGentleman: We really missed a good opportunity to do an urbex of this site before they tore it down.... EvilGentleman: This was one of the more educational posts that I have done, at least in the sense that I learned a lot from doing this post.
When I initially shot the photos, I was focused on...... EvilGentleman: It's all gone now, just a giant hole in the ground. The Satanic Jesus has been removed and/or destroyed.... EvilGentleman: That is one interesting-looking ruin. Any chance of you adding some more pics of it, possibly in the comments below?... EvilGentleman: It should be pointed out that I never "Advertised" the {statue} to be truly {Satanic} in nature. I have merely stated how the people in the {Village Des Tanneries} part of {Montreal}'s {Saint-Henri} district describe...... EvilGentleman: No news here either, Mitch. Actually, at this point, you are my main source of news about Ben's.... EvilGentleman: I figured as much. I would not have guessed WDW, but I was pretty sure it was a mural outside the San Francisco area, and somewhere that you travel, which narrowed it down to the...... EvilGentleman: Wow. Knockout urbex piece, Peter! Love it!... EvilGentleman: Nicely titled. Perhaps "Cherubic Cloud-Humping" might have worked, as well.... EvilGentleman: Nooooooo!... EvilGentleman: Finding some pretty cool stuff while searching...
I like this one in Brussels: [[http://www.xymara.com/inmyx/article-brussels_4-brussels_2-small.jpg]]... EvilGentleman: Actually, forget New York. Peter would probably know about it if it was in New York.... EvilGentleman: The picture is OF San Francisco. After all, what cities besides San Francisco would stencil "San Francisco Public works" on their wooden barriers?
The pastel colours and what looks like the telltale stair-like outline of slightly...... EvilGentleman: Sigh... I miss Meigs Field. Damn Richard Daley to hell for that one...... EvilGentleman: Nice to know, thank you. There are so many things we do not learn about over here in Canada.... EvilGentleman: Nice find. I understand there's not too many pieces of the Toynbee tiles left nowadays...... EvilGentleman: Thank god you clarified that, Jamie. I was about to tell you that I don't post those ones.
And kudos to you, Montrealbunny, for recognizing the tiles of the Lionel-Groulx station. I had not noticed that,...... EvilGentleman: Heh. This one has been sitting in my hard drive, waiting for me to stop procrastinating. Guess I'm too late. Nice post.... EvilGentleman: As of yesterday, Ben's was still unchanged. All the chairs are still stacked up by the window, and the signs are still there.... EvilGentleman: That is one of the most heart-warming pictures I have seen here in ages.... EvilGentleman: Who knows what sort of information is floating around behind those closed doors...... EvilGentleman: Well, at least you did not catch her a la Britney, Paris and Lindsey, with the obligatory upskirt shot climbing out of a limo.... EvilGentleman: Hehe, it is at this point, CE, that our age differences truly begin to show.... EvilGentleman: Thanks, Mitch. You just saved me about 50 bucks worth of gas. I have been going downtown more often lately, specifically to check on the current status of Ben's.... EvilGentleman: Let hear it for slinking! I am reminded of [[7658:this post]] by jack. Nice one.
Joey, the problem with the height signs is, they are all metric here. I have no clue how many centimeters tall...... EvilGentleman: All I know, is I have seen a lot of the little speed limit signs along the bike trails, usually proclaiming a limit of 20 km per hour. I confess that I have not been...... EvilGentleman: Beatiful set of photos. You really captured the emotions of the rallies. I especially like the irony of the girl wearing a mask that says, "NO CNN", but a baseball cap that says, "American Blue...... EvilGentleman: Actually, I cannot place it. But the description you gave tells me I have must have overlooked this one. Maybe it's along one of those stretches of the bike trail where I tend to ride...... EvilGentleman: I have an old pic from 1994 or 1995 posted in one of my posts in the [[3039:Train Derails on Bridge]] series. I am currently about 305 pounds (people always guess me at about 250...... EvilGentleman: Hmmm, where is this building? Looks interesting...... EvilGentleman: I know the area well. CE and I have biked around this area before. Sunsets there are quite beautiful, with the sun reflecting off the tops of the colourful buildings, and that in turn reflected...... EvilGentleman: What's a telephone? Ohhhh, wait... Is that one of things that is like a cellphone, but plugs into a wall, and has wires coming out of it?
Hehe, seems like yesterday, when my VCR remote had...... EvilGentleman: A few suggestions in order to reduce damage in future disturbances:
1 - Do **not** leave portable metal street signs with plate metal bases lying around on the streets when large events are taking place. Most...... EvilGentleman: Thanks for the referral. There are so many other good pictures out there, I am surprised that you like these ones.... EvilGentleman: Actually Peter, logic would tell you that a loss would have been catastrophic, I agree. But that is not the case in Montreal. Had the Canadiens ##lost##, the crowds would have been grumpy and sullen,...... EvilGentleman: Some of the Youtube videos are something else... WOW!
[[http://youtube.com/results?search_query=habs+riot&search_type=]]... EvilGentleman: Last time GGP found a [[3629:bunny]], citynoise went crazy!
[[img:27192]]
Heh, I was viewer number 50,000. Random.
Glad to see a happier bunny this time.
Can I do a special bunny request? Bugs Bugs Bugs Bugs Bugs!!!!!... EvilGentleman: Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble.
If I stay, it will be double.
So come on and let me know,
Should I stay...... EvilGentleman: These pictures show 3 of the 5 or 6 police cruisers to be burned. I started photographing around 1:10 this morning.
Unfortunately, my lithium batteries chose this day to die, and I had forgotten to bring...... EvilGentleman: Now THAT is graf!!! Hope he (or she) visits Montreal one day. Better still, hope my building gets bombed (with graf like this).... EvilGentleman: As far as the urban legend aspect of things goes, how could we get a website like [[http://www.snopes.com]] to have a look at it, and see what they dig up? I am really curious about...... EvilGentleman: dirana1, thank you for commenting. I can respect your opinions and your insight into the prison is a welcome bit of education for the rest of us. I am certain you know a lot more...... dirana1: PS EvilGentleman, there's more to a tower at KP than an mop and a squeegee believe me, I myself would have a couple of rounds of the indigenous firearm in the tower fired if someone...... Montrealbunny: CE and EvilGentleman - I walk here almost every day and have never seen a cloud formation like that - LUCKY!!! I am inspired by your photo and another one by Evil Gentleman to...... EvilGentleman: Wonderful! I especially love the time-lapse shots covering the accumulating snow.... EvilGentleman: No clue, but I want to be there with my camera if they do, sad though it will be.... EvilGentleman: Nice. Reminds me of when the Montreal Forum was being dismantled, and the "FO" came off first, leaving the sign saying "RUM". Wish I had had a camera that day.... EvilGentleman: Thanks, Peter. I have never uploaded to wiki before, just edited some text. I'm still a noob in some areas.... EvilGentleman: Thank you. Your pictures are much better than mine. But then again, you are a true Kingstonian, whereas I took my pictures during a brief pit stop on my way home from the Bay of...... EvilGentleman: To Born and Raised in NYC:
Sorry to ask, but exactly who made the condescending comments, and which ones in particular are you referring to? I just re-read everything here, and the general vibe I get...... EvilGentleman: Wait, is it possible the "fuck" is actually a verb, and not an adjective? If so, then am I in compliance, considering my wife is an ex-cop? Mind you, she did quit that job before...... EvilGentleman: I wonder what qualities they look for when hiring new members of the Fuck Police?... EvilGentleman: You mean we can get arrested for not using government-authorized positions? I am soooo busted...
##Six months later, in a Toronto courthouse...##
Defense: "Your Honour, my client maintains his innocence in the face of these outrageous claims....... EvilGentleman: Drew,
There is a diagram of the plans for the Benny Farm changes in the article that I posted in 2006. I hope it will make things clearer for you. [[4408:Just click this link.]]... EvilGentleman: Thank you Jade. Your support is appreciated. Not really sure what else to say, so I will just leave it at that.... EvilGentleman: The house in the second-last photo is not too bad looking for a recent construction, even though it is somewhat lacking in "soul". Perhaps the soul will be acquired over time, although the building rising...... EvilGentleman: I find it weird to see someone you know personally commenting about suffering rapidly expanding cranial pressures due to webmasters we know online commenting on comments made by people he knows online commenting to people...... EvilGentleman: It's also weird to come across comments made by people you know personally commenting on photos on the internet from another city of graffiti from an artist he knows personally. :-P... Jade-en-Ville: EvilGentleman,
I have learned a great deal from your pictures and posts over the past few years. This post prompted me to respond, mainly to lend weight to your comments to Canadian-Canadian.
EvilGentleman's perspective is, in...... EvilGentleman: Thanks, Veronic. Hope all is well for you wherever you are now. Nuut and the kids are going up for Easter, but I am opting to stay down here this time. Maybe if we can...... EvilGentleman: I have posted new articles.
The first is about the demolition of the original buildings facing Benny Avenue. [[7850:The Destruction of Benny Farm]]
The second is about the preparations to build condos in the site where the...... EvilGentleman: For those of you not in the know, LCBO is the acronym for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Their stores have the monopoly in Ontario for all carry-out sales of hard liquor, and they...... EvilGentleman: El, since they were government-funded homes originally intended for the families of veterans returning from WWII, it is most unfortunate that the government decided to stop funding them.
If you look at the comments in the...... EvilGentleman: I really have to dig out some of my old pictures and get them scanned. I know I have one that shows me sweeping up dead flies. Like about 2000 of them. The hazards of...... EvilGentleman: I love the contrasts in the last shot. Great find.... EvilGentleman: Hmmmm, now that I think about it, I believe that a KFC sign bucket would make a really cool hot tub.... EvilGentleman: jack, I'm not 100% what it is you were drinking when you made those comments, but you really should share some with me!... EvilGentleman: I gotta ask, how did the Alaskan Amber ale taste?... EvilGentleman: Well Elicar, my previous article on this particular location has become something of an online focal point for those who lived there during its heyday, much like Corsatki's {Cabrini Green} articles.
Thus, this page is intended...... EvilGentleman: I just checked the project plan I had posted in my original {Benny Farm} article, and I seem to have misidentified the refurbished building on Cavendish in photo 7. The portion to the right of...... EvilGentleman: LOL, small world, isn't it? I should replay the videos my wife shot as we passed through Philly, see if I can find a KFC in there that I can capture and post, hehe.... serlingrod: [[img:26158]]
EvilGentleman - I just so happened to snap this one on Avenue Papineau in the Plateau. I love the old sign though...it's like the ones you'll find in small-town U.S.A. that still say "Kentucky Fried...... EvilGentleman: On the first website linked in the above comment, please note it is in French, and the word "télécharger" is French for "download". It's free, don't worry.... EvilGentleman: fctlmn, thank you for sharing some memories of Montreal that I am too young to have.
Aqueduct Street is now known as Rue Lucien l'Allier, and has a metro station of the same name just down...... EvilGentleman: Aha, started playing with the sun, did you? Nice one...... EvilGentleman: Laura, did you actually bother to read all the comments on this page? I think we established the fact that bimbo refers to a small child over a year ago. And please, no shouting in...... EvilGentleman: jb, I just looked at the pictures, and you seem to be right. I accidentally put a pic of a different car on this page. Sorry about that. Mind you, I never said I was...... EvilGentleman: Good point, but in Montreal, we have speed limits, unlike on the autobahns. And North American headlight flashing is usually reserved for emergencies, telling drivers to go ahead at stop signs and letting big-rig drivers...... EvilGentleman: Is that bench facing the harbour in front of Yonge Street across from the penitentiary? The memorial plaque looks familiar.... EvilGentleman: Love the color in the first one.... EvilGentleman: I never noticed this set before. Great pics. Love them all.... EvilGentleman: jeeff, would your comment mean that the Don Valley Parkway is usually somewhat noisy? I know autoroute 20 (the Quebec end of the 401) here is loud enough that it drives most people nuts. And...... EvilGentleman: Much better. Welcome to Canada, Toronto!...
