Incredobly, supermarkets are going to shut that would normally open every day except Christmas Day. Not much is closing here. Will be a normal day for most people, although BC did announce a day off school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom -- sounds like gofer, go for; doofer, do for. My gofer (person) gets me my dry cleaning. My doofer (object) changes the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Wow. I’ve been seeing the line-ups. I’ve always regretted not driving to Ottawa to stand in line for Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s lying in state. He repatriated our Constitution. Love him or hate him, that fact alone earned my respect. It would have been a weird day, but hell, how many great Canadians are worth that respect. Ain’t no hockey player I’d line up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It was on in the background so I couldn't tell which of Beatrice/Eugene chose heels, but they will fucking regret that after an hour of standing vigil. Vigil is the weirdest part of this whole charade, who was the little kid who definitely shouldnt be subjected to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad’s thesis was a historical psychoanalysis of Pierre Trudeau, so I know a LOT about him. Oddly, my dad was less of a fan than I became.
