I met 2 french girls from Paris at a hostel in Toronto, Canada on the 4th of July, 2006. We had some interesting conversations about French culture vs. American Culture vs. Californian Culture, San Francisco, and other topics.

LOL, that's the hostel at King and Spadina. Nice. I used the Petro Canada gas station there (seen in some shots in the distance) earlier this evening.

yup. we stayed at the global village backpackers hostel. Best Queen's Day / 4th of July ever.

Friend of mine works next door. Everyone in her office was shocked and amused to see someone prancing about naked in the window of their hostel window once.

What's Queen's Day?

I'm sorry, "Canada Day" which is July 1, the indep. day of canada. and i was there from California, for our independence day weekend.

Ah, thought so.

Because we do have something like a Queen's Day - Victoria Day, in late May.

What the heck? This video's vote total was savaged...

*canada...

Adding video to channels (Canada) - requested by Krupo.

Ha! Two votes! Times were different.

Also, this is a self-link *blog

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - blog requested by djsunkid.

Got the following message on the url link at google-"The page you have tried to access is not a valid known user. Please check that you have the correct URL and try again."

it may be a self-link djsunkid....did anyone post this for ya, hapadamien nut??

I don't know how to find the original submitter on Google Vids.....

Hate to ban this cat, someone help the poor Californian.....even though the viddy sucks, now that I suffered a watch....snippy tone there, Cronkite...kinna pushy

Choggie, are you having trouble with the original google video link? the original video link is: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6247312550152953571

I don't have problems viewing the original link. And yes, I posted it.

hapadamien this should be discarded, there is no self-linking of any kind. It said so in big bright red letters when this was posted. please discard.

yeah main, the issue ain't the viewing....it's that the site don't allow self-linking....a common mistake mate....dump it, and someone will post it for you....perhaps

*long

*discard. There, was that so hard? Also, rules are rules - And you can very easily be *banned for this. Oops, did I just do that?

Other invocations (ban) cannot be called when discarding a post - ignoring nonsensical requests by MarineGunrock.

Fine. Can I *ban now?

hapadamien has been nominated for banination by MarineGunrock. This may be due to abuse or violations of the posting guidelines. If this nomination is seconded, the account will be permanently disabled.

If I recall correctly, I submitted this for one of the first sift-offs, which are legitimate for self-linking.

Really, there is no need to go and ban this guy if he's willing to discard it himself... seems pretty amicable, and this vid has been on the Sift for over a year, something is going on here so lets all keep our ban-guns holstered for now...

But anyway, to what sift-off are you referring to hapadamien? Does anyone else remember such a thing?

Exactly. You submitted this for a sift-off. Self-linking is permissible in a sift-off. We are not having a sift off. Self-linking is not permitted out side a sift-off. What more is there to say?

But MGR... look at the date of the post, its over a year old... perhaps we were having a sift off back then... but I don't remember off the top of my head.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Yeah, this was part of the old Sift Off - this shouldn't be discarded nor the member banned. I'm fixing it up.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

*return

Returning this video from Sift Talk - return requested by dag.

Ah. If this was submitted during the Sift off, then you have my apologies. And I will save it when I can.
I might have misunderstood your comment, thinking you meant that you had submitted it previously, and now you were submitting it again. I didn't look at the date.
Again, my apologies.

Might I suggest that from now on we make it a point during Sift-offs to have submitters mention somewhere in the description the participation of their sift within the contest? This would eliminate any further confusions like this one.

Ah, yes the sift-off, of course. My mistake. Speaking of which, when is the next one?

Ah ok. I see.

You can do self-linked posts on sift offs...man I gonna do the cinnamon bet.
