We got a few cm today...but it's been rained all away.

Oops...we had a one-day snowstorm on Halloween, but since then, most of the snow has been rained away, too. Winnipeg in November with no snow is just unnatural, man. The city looks so dull without the white stuff.

We pretty much don't see much snow until after Christmas...oh we'll get a storm or two in Nov and Dec, but it all goes away.

I'm back to wearing my shorts at work, it's going to be in the teens all week.

Sorry to double post (but hey, It looks like there is only three of us again)

But if you guys aren't listening to the CBC Radio play Afghanada....you should be.

www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/index.j ... =Afghanada

It's on at the end of Sounds Like Canada, so you'll have to suffer through through Sheila Rogers' crap-ass pathetic-excuse-for-a-radio-host show...but it's worth it.

The last play they had, the comedy; Monsoon House, was one of the funniest things I had ever heard on the radio, but this one is so powerfull...man I was almost in tears when they had the funeral for the Sarge. (That was ALMOST in tears)

I must confess to a lack of radio listening. This is mostly due to lack of time in the busy family schedule. However, I did get a chance to see another taping of The Hour (with George -my last name is a sound effect for falling down stairs- Strombolpolous) and his guests were Colm Feore and Stephen Lewis! C'mon! How cool is that!
They are both really cool guys and as much as I didn't care for Stephen Lewis the politician (back in the day), his humanitarian work with the UN has been inspiring.
And Colm Feore, one of the coolest actors out there... excellent funny interview.

There's just something about Geaorge..I said it before; he seems so fake to me...Man you should really try to listen to Afghanada sometime though.

..NOw if you were at a taping of THIS Hour....I'd be pissed that you never looked me up!!

THAT would be really cool. I would love to see a taping of that. I did see a couple tapings of Kids in the Hall back in the day, and that was really cool.

Did you guys check it out?

I know the temping lure of a made for CBC sitcom is quite alluring, but it was pretty funny...in a littlest Hobo sort of way.

The Pilot is on again tonight (I imagine they're going to be push this one pretty hard; I heard two interviews and about five reviews on the radio yesterday)

which one are you talking about .. the Little Mosque on the Prairie?....
if so I did not, but my 19 year old daughter saw it and she said it was funny. I will have to try and see this ...

In case any one is wonderings...and by "any of you" I mean "both of you guys"..Colin Mochre is going to be on LIttle Mosque tonight.

D'oh! I missed it!
I have been wanting to see this show for a while (shouldn't this be in TV SHows post?), but I am always busy on Wed.
Hey, isn't there repeats on MOndays?...

ARRGGGHHH!!!!

Goddamn Tim Friggin' Hortons!!!

I hate them.

Every year, I give up coffee for Lent then what do they friggin well do...?

Roll up the Goddamn Rim.

OKOKOK, here is a compromise (of sorts):
Give up every other coffee except Tim's...








too funny, drew...

Meh--I just get tea now.

I already who a free beverage, and with their usual odd of winning...
Let's see...two taes a day through the working wee...one on the wwekend; that's eleven per week...I'd say I'll win one more beverage and a muffin.

Another Canadian signing in ... I haven't been around KW for quite awhile.

Hey Metal-Demon. Welcome back.

--A

Metal Demon...welcome back.

You were in austrailia weren't you?

That brings our count back up to 4.

If Variol Farseer come back, we're gunna hit 5!!!

Who hoooooooo.
Poutine party at drew's!!!
I'll get a few 2-4's of Keiths, we can watch the Grey cup while sitting on my Chesterfield, and then we can go out (pronounced OAT) to a peeler bar, and Pay GST on everything we buy. We'll hit Timmies on the way home...get a couple of Double-doubles and drive a hundred and ten klicks on the TCH.

I think I ought to be a honorary Canadian. Just ask Matrixman. I've spent a sizable chunk of time in Winnepeg, Manitoba--though I never met him once.

Well, we'd have to have a vote on it.
And if you follow Canadian politics, those really haven't been working out lately.

well at least we know how to count ballots...
Ah, I think we should make Wylde an honourary Canuk ... anyone who spent a sizable amount of time in Winnipeg and lived to admit it deserves it...
(tee hee, says the guy from TO... )

I haven't made it to Toronto yet, though I hear it has its charms as well.

Winnipeg really is rather pretty (though rather flat--says the girl from the hill country!), and has very nice parks. I found the people there even more lovely. As I tell my friends, "Winnipeg is just like America, only the city is cleaner, the people are friendlier, and the crime rate is lower. "
