Newly re-opened?

I went there maybe 5 years ago and it was pretty neat. Better with full suspension though! Also, fun to watch the DH guys basically drop from boulder to boulder.

yeah it was totally closed for a couple years due to insurance problems related to being located on Santa's Village property... just re-opened mid last year...

so is that where the elves go to ride?

What the hell is this thing? It was in my friend Sandra's backyard.

looks like a possum to me. i've spotted a few in my backyard recently. poke and see if it curls up into a ball...

I think it is a shrew or vole, kinda like a weasel but with reddish eyes. In other words, a freaky thing to bump into late at night if you've had more than 3 beers.

That would need a marinade for sure.

Try 13 Ha Ha

Or at least lots of BBQ sauce when dipping!
Don’t know what that is but i’m sure I’ve seen them before.

lol.

So best place for steaks in Toronto? As in, buy then I cook myself.

St. Lawrence Market is good. Jer might know exact names.

Good: Whitehouse at the market
Better: Cumbrae's @ church/wellesley

There's an old southern American song (circa 1800's I believe) called "Carve that Possum", wherein the lyrics describe the entire process of catching and cooking a possum. I tried to find it online but I guess it's too archaic/steeped in colonial racial stereotypes to be easily found online.

Thanks for the birthday wishes dudes! Thanks for the ticket Ryan! Thanks for lunch Colin! Here's another sentence ending in an exclamation mark!

dan's awake at 9:30? what the crap?!

Nice! And thanks!

Early to bed early to.... um something... What time did you finish work yesterday? Was it one of those 20 hours thingiemawhatnows?

Ha! "Polishing the carbonium". Now there's a phrase that could be interpreted in a multitude of ways... :D

My first thought was small groundhog for sure.... but is that it's black furry tail to its left? groundhogs don't have tails like that. Possums have hairless tails I think. Lets see some urban guidebook schematics!

4:30a.m. to 8:00p.m. and i basically didn't sleep because i was paranoid about sleeping in.

white stripes was such a good show. too bad it seemed like some of the nickleback fans from the night before stuck around. who yells "go argos!" at an effing concert? sometimes i wonder if some bands/artists secretly hate some of their fans.

that makino went for $785. eff

Yikes! Yeah the meathead/jock/suburban jackass quotient at the White Stripes show was through the roof! It was like being in the American Eagle catalouge. *Shudder* Great show but yeah I couldn't wait to get out of there after. The ridiculous traffic jam getting out of the parking lot was sweet poetic justice in exchange for ignorant condescending remarks made about me riding a bike! Hurray!

Wow the Makino didn't even crack $800. There will be other deals to be had.

It's definitely not a possum as per the furry tail and it's too big for a vole or shrew, which are more or less mouse sized. Ground hogs don't have the big furry tail. I was thinking it may be an escaped or abandoned pet of some kind, like a largish chinchilla.

agreed

IM IN UR GARDENZ LOOKIN ATCHU!!!!

Heh, heh... Guess who snatched it up? Now my Teal Makino has an Orange brother... ;)
