OT: The News Thread

I think it's the potentially questionable source of horse meat. We know a cow was raised on a farm to be meat. What was the horse eating? How was it slaughtered? Who sold it? etc. etc.

Looks like you missed my point, which was that people should be more disgusted by the fact that the restaurant isn't telling them what's in it, and doing whatever the **** they want to their food and advertising otherwise, rather than being grossed out because it's horse meat. Do you think people would be as appalled as they are if it was deer/caribou meat in the burgers instead?

I dunno, horses are kinda cool. Cows suck. Deers suck.

I've eaten Bambi, Bullwinkle and wild boar. Other then "gamey" taste because i"m not use to it, I have no problem trying horse meat. Heck, as an evil blood sucking right winger, I'm looking forward to boiled baby meat.

:rolleyes(2):

You might want to consider eating the elderly instead of babies. Especially with the Obamacare death panels on the horizon.

It just makes more sense.
 
State of Emergency in Toronto. We're getting 6 inches of snow. heh

I stayed home today. Torontonians have no clue whatsoever about how to drive in the snow.
 
Still bumper to bumper and foot on the break the whole time. Edmonton is the same way and 6 inches of snow is a light dusting for us.

You would think after all these years of living in a northern climate they would have figured it out by now but you can't fix stupid I guess
 
Really, eh. That is surprising. My only real experiences of driving regularly in cities with lots of snow are Ottawa and Montreal. While the latter is kind of nuts at any time, they can drive in the snow.
 
Was supposed to fly to Boston this morning, and my flight was just cancelled. Still waiting to find if I can fly tomorrow. In other news Brian Burke was going to be on that flight too with his daughter. He's looking a little worse for wear.

We have two extremes here during snow storms. The idiots who have an F350 with a 6 inch lift kit who think they are driving a tank and go 40 over the speed limit or the people who go 20 and ride the break the whole time

The combo usually ends up causing a multiple pile ups throughout the city
 
Just finished shovel #1 for the day. I'd rather get out there and pick up 5cm three times compared to breaking my back all at once.

Similar thing goes on in Toronto but with the expensive SUVs. These turdmonkeys actually drive about 25% faster in the snow just, cause, ya know, they've got awd. Inertia you dingbats, inertia.

When you have a population in which fifty percent hail from tropical or sub-tropical climates that is what you get.

Yep. Find it funny and frustrating at the same time.

So glad I take the train to work.
 
I bought a diesel tractor 5 years ago at work and didn't bother to put on the blower. The running joke was that as long as I didn't attach the blower, it wouldn't snow. Pffft! Now I have to decide if I want to spend the afternoon attaching the blower or spend it behind a walk-behind snow blower. Finding a spot service is out of the question.

And then there is the house.......and the blower is at work......

Ohhh...my effen back........

LOL! So true!

Last night, I had an idiot in front of me going 10 kmh for 3 blocks and generating a parkign lot behind him. Eventually I turned and as I did, I noticed he was "probably" from the islands. If he is a relatively recent immigrant or a recent driver, where exactly would he get the experience to drive on snow? To him, it must be terrifying having 10% traction...so he went slower and slower and slower.....meanwhile I had switched to the fwd minivan with snow tires. The bloody thing will plow through a foot of snow without complaint.

Mehh.....it's only a few days.

You have to the two extremes. Crazies driving SUV's and the Toyota Corolla driver with no snow tires driving 10KM on the Gardiner.

LOL!

I had an SUV and a 4wd pick-up truck, NONE of them came close to a cheap, simple FWD minivan with snows. Extra set of 2 rims cost me $50 at the scrap yard and snows were another $250. Best investment ever for driving on snow.
