if no opener is available then my teeth usually work as a good substitute...to be further discussed at safety meeting...

I think second order of business should be riding recumbents thru the hood...i mean theres definitely safety issues there...who hasnt heard of or even known someone to have been recumbent jacked...and then theres of course the further reprocussions with recumbent drivebys!! very deadly. guard yuh grillz!!

edit: I need one of those mystical push-n-pop openers

Yeah, I must have missed out. Might have had something to do with me starting university when I was in my mid 20's. I didn't hang out with other engineering students anyway, there are annoying and smell funny.

I have never made to open a beer with my teeth, as I have witnessed what happens when this goes badly. I have seen an eye socket used as well. (in the military, where machismo is sold by the pound)

eye socket?

So are people going out to critical mass tomorrow or would anyone be interested in alternative plans that might not involved going 5 kph...

Uh, while the guy in this video is a total dumbass who's parents buy him unnecessarily expensive toys to abuse, you do the same thing but with a bic lighter. Its simple. Remind me next time we are near beer.

yes he winked over the the beer cap, squeezed and sloooowly cranked it ...psssst ...open. One of the most disturbing things I've ever witnessed. He was so proud of himself too, which was even more disturbing.

Geez. That robot is cool I guess, but if I want to wait 5 minutes for someone to serve me a beer and still spill it all over the place I can go to a bar!

Its gonna be the halloween CM, suck it up man!

amazing! it took thousands of dollars of engineering and countless watts of energy to accomplish something a human being can do in ten seconds. what's the term for that? over-engineering?

No,

My colbert costume doesn't translate well to biking, how can I spread truthiness and the american way while riding something that is human powered!

I kid, but I just found out I have to work till 8 on Friday anyways which makes the question of CM kinda moot.

Never seen a bottle opened with a lighter? Make it a stubby and you have a classic bit of Canadiana. The Swiss Army is for the wine.

Go for the Colbert outfit with this bad boy. Only use the throttle when "Corking" and you will be alright.

As much as I would love to ride around in my costume, the idea of a 5kph ride on streets with no traffic isnt too appealing for me. Plus I have 2 other costume parties to go to so I am holding out till Sat. I was thinking of perhaps a safety meeting then going to Bills gig.

Because Safety comes first...

My colbert-fu would be strong on that thing Keith. I'm very interested in a saturday safety meeting, when does this group meet and how can I become a member ;D

Was a rescheduling sub-committee request forwarded to the secretary of the steering committee in regards to rescheduling? Bear in mind the impact of a reschedule should be considered in an impact study that will produce a report that reports it's findings to the rescheduling committee and ultimately the steering committee, of which wives and girl friends' have house control.

ROFL.

Like hamster cages.

i'll be at all three shows this weekend, so look for the SS urbanite. don't have a place of my own but if you want to get in touch via pm or email i'll see if any friends have a couch for you.

edit: http://thekilldecibel.com/board is probably a better bet.

ps: err, i'm aware i never post in this thread/on this board. but hi.

I think it's more like the stench of pure man. and not in a good way. when a buddy of mine went to waterloo for engineering they used to play a prank on each other that consisted of pissing in a shallow cafeteria tray and carfully putting it in the freezer then popping the frozen pee out and sliding it under the victim's door and waiting for the thaw. while funny, this kind of stuff didn't exactly make the ladies swoon.
us english majors, well, we smelled of dusty tomes, pipe tobacco and pretention.

Art majors either smell really pretty or they smell like pot or cigarettes, and there is no practical joking.

My early year sociology and geography classes always smelled like food because some jerkass commuter student would always decide to bring their DINNER into class to eat. I'm talking tupperwares spilling with cous cous and chicken with sides and stuff. It was out of hand.

Man I don't know where you guys were in school but my American studies years were fantastic. I think I had one class the entire time I was in school that had more then 4 guys in it. I was in pure female heaven it was almost as good as my years working for Fashion File or this week has been with Fashion Week and all.

Traditionally meetings have happened on Friday's. It gives us a sharp perspective on the week's events and allows us the latitude to make quick decisions. Also the black time between officially leaving work and arriving at home allows some of our more esteemed members more time to contribute to the weeks issues. Perhaps if you raise the issue (with all the appropriate paperwork) at the next meeting and we can consider your request.

Hear, hear! He speaketh the truth. Friday evening is a very unsafe time and this situation must be rectified with regular discussion.


(edited for clarity/coherence)

what's seconded?

I move to veto!

yes, there seems to be a real divide between the "black turtleneck fashionista" art students (usually art history majors) and the "one piece leotard and a cape" art students (usuallly studio artists). i always appreciated seeing people be-cloaked on the york university campus.
and yes, offhoff, english and art history classes are usually crawling with women. i always liked to talk poetry with them as it were.
