Order cable for July and then just cancel it in August?
i did that for many years and now i don't have any cable at all so it's $75 each time i want to sign up. nuts to that, i'll just watch the coverage at jet fuel.

Hrm, I hadn't heard that rumour. I would love it if the theatre could stay but I have a feeling it will go. I thought that it was being turned into condos or lofts, which would suck, we have enough trendoids around as it is. Isn't there an LCBO at the Crossways? There used to be one in there but I haven't been to it in ages so it may be gone. The one at Brock and Queen is convenient for me and there is also a beer store there. They've been (unknowingly) servicing me since I was 17 ;)
I am at Pearson; Boustead is nice, I bet it is quiet up there.
well according the petition that is circulating at Alternative Grounds that is the plan for the theatre. an LCBO i could stand but not something awful like a chapters which was the fate of the runnymede theatre on bloor.
no LCBO at the crossways; it moved out many moons ago. closest for me is either bloor west village or bloor and ossington.

Wow. Thanks for all the tips. So, if I stopped wearing black 10 years ago, does that mean I stay clear of the west side in my apartment hunt? I do indeed know the bada$$ blood gangsign where it spells out blood with your fingers. I'll teach it to whomever can tell me where these noisy streetcar spots are so I can avoid getting a place there.
Anyway, seriously guys, thanks for the apartment links and all that and you can all go back to your regularly scheduled program now.
PARKDALE on the WESTSIDE! YO.
Before taking off to the FAR eastside, I was paying $1050 for a mainfloor-of-a-house 2bdrm (parking, porch, laundry, hot H2O, hydro all included) over-looking the Lake.
TdF...thank Dog for torrents!

TO is hard on a renter it's true! If anyone has a tip on 1200sf or so live/work studio hook me up, I can't find anything worth having for less than $1.50 a sf, and I only want to pay...less than that!

Stacy was a guy actually.
The guy on the fixie rides with the TBN guys a lot, this was the first time I had met him.
13hour on the Fix, I would like to know what gear set up he was running and bar set up
He was running 46 x 18, bull horns, rear rack with a little pack on the top, and a full wrap fender on the back
Is that a promise? I'm pretty damn uncoordinated.
P.S. everybody come ride tomorrow.

As I have just reeieved a miraculous cable hookup from out of nowhere, you can count on me to give you updates on the stages throughout the morning coverage. It really sucks to be able to watch it in the morning while I work. It's the least I can do. :D

You can get your live updates on the web site as well, that's what I do at work then I watch it at home in the evening.
p.s. Why would anyone want to be able to spell 'blood' with their fingers? Having lived in many hoods over the years the last thing i'd EVER want is someone mistaking my finger up my nose for some form of primitive communication. Having had the ETF take down Bloods across the street from my house( gas and guns ). If you ain't in the club don't learn the handshake. Then you can never to it in the wrong moment by accident.
No dis intended..... you are a nice lot, I can't see a banger in any of ya. Cept that Rob guy, he's trouble rep'in the Hill. :lol:

Since we have a few days till the start...perhaps a little pool is in order...everyone throws in $10...pick the yellow, green, polkadot and white and team. In case 2 pick the same winners, ties will be broken by the winning time's advantage over second place overall. Who's in?

There was one black guy at my highschool. I remember one time in creative writing class he did some acapella verse and everyone was like, "Oh wow, an authentic black person doing the rap!" Sheltered? Yes. Ironic use of pseudo gang signs by computer geek twits? Yes.

damn I was breakin' in crew in '82, winnin' competitions in MTL. My highschool was 85% black, yet not one shooting back then, and full on hiphop from day 1. Personally I never felt in any danger, but I suppose it's the environment you get used to.

Isn't that a death waiting to happen? I don't mind rolling through town, but I'm not gonna be perched on my bike out way past the nearest lightening rod out by the water. There's risky then there's stupid, and I think this crosses the line.

it's all tree's out there and the towers are the smoke stack have the lighting rods none have ever hit the spit (coxwell) plus all the boat masts are rods

but who collects? Post humously(sp?) awarded?

06-27-06, 11:17 AM
heh.. I think it would have to be posthumously awarded. :)
"A Darwin Award is a tongue-in-cheek honor given to people who purportedly improve the human gene pool by removing themselves following from an episode of questionable judgement. The prizes, named after pioneering evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin, are awarded over the Internet. There is no monetary prize, only (necessarily) posthumous recognition."
