I believe that is a Canadaian maple leaf he is wearing. That means he's Canadian... or an American backpacker in Europe


there's also a man in the movie and as we all know men like sex so i think it should be in the *sexuality channel. also the guy in the bottom left is kind of angry so it's probably a little *dark, too..or maybe he's just afraid so i'll just throw *fear in there. also maybe he likes *cats for no apparent reason

nice maple

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There was trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

They look like the kind of people that would play Maple Story.

I believe that is a *Canadaian maple leaf he is wearing. That means he's Canadian... or an American backpacker in Europe

Crazy tornado, eh?


Yeah we normally get some pretty nasty weather all around in Ontario, but this has been the big one so far.

"Interesting anecdote about her is that she once stole a piece of perfect maple from a university phonebooth, replacing it with a replica. Cool lady."

schmawy

I stole some copper phone wire from the town and replaced it with cheepo standerd wire , so i could use the copper wire in my headphones dose this make me a cool man ? or a selfish robber ?

Since you're so curious, Schmawy, it's called "free plate tuning", and it was developed by the recently departed Carleen Hutchins...

Carleen Maley Hutchins (May 24, 1911 – August 7, 2009) was an American former high school science teacher, violinmaker and researcher, best-known for her creation, in the 1950s/60s, of a family of eight proportionally-sized violins now known as the violin octet (e.g., the vertical viola) and for a considerable body of research into the acoustics of violins. She was born in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Hutchins’s greatest innovation, still used by many violinmakers, was a technique known as free-plate tuning. When not attached to a violin, the top and back are called free plates. Her technique gives makers a precise way to refine these plates before a violin is assembled.

From 2002 to 2003, Hutchins’s octet was the subject of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Titled “The New Violin Family: Augmenting the String Section.” Hutchins was the founder of the New Violin Family Association[1], creator-in-chief of the Violin Octet, author of more than 100 technical publications, editor of two volumes of collected papers in violin acoustics, four grants from the Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music, recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, an Honorary Fellowship from the Acoustical Society of America, and four honorary doctorates. In 1963, Hutchins co-founded the Catgut Acoustical Society, which develops scientific insights into the construction of new and conventional instruments of the violin family.

The Hutchins Consort, named after Hutchins, is a California ensemble featuring all eight instruments.[2]

In 1974, Hutchins and Daniel W. Haines, using materials supplied by the Hercules Materials Company, Inc. (Allegheny Ballistics Laboratory) of Cumberland, Maryland, developed a graphite-epoxy composite top that was determined to be a successful alternative to the traditional use of spruce for the violin belly.[3]

1. My parents met at a Communist Party meeting in the 1950s.
2. I have never before felt compelled to write one of these things to strangers, but my love of the Sift has been growing by the week.
3. I am passionate about uncomfortable comedy.
4. My mum once accidentally ran over my leg in the family car when I was little. When I rushed to show and tell at school, no one believed me.
5. One of my major life goals is to become practical with my hands. I think my generation missed out on life skills, and I’m determined to learn them.
6. I miss my daughter every single day.
7. Most of my sifts never make it.
8. I have lived in Oz (my home country), France and Vietnam. While I can speak fluent French, I never took to Vietnamese.
9. I have ridden a motorbike every day since I lived in Vietnam, but I’m planning on trading down to a pushbike for exercise, sustainability and safety reasons. I’ve never had a serious accident, but I think it’s only a matter of time.
10. I’ve had a blessed life, filled with opportunity.
11. I would quite fancy a career in politics at some point, but I’ve had too much fun with too many people to survive the moral hypocrisy blowtorch of modern political life.
12. Alice Cooper ate at a restaurant I worked in once. He had sausages with maple syrup.
13. I consider myself a pragmatist.
14. I cannot cope with liars. They confuse me.
15. I’m not into guns, but I would like to shoot a feral pig one day to see what it feels like.
16. My personal hero is Paul Keating.
17. I once held open the door to Parliament House for Gough Whitlam – he didn’t thank me.
18. I’m not scared of heights, but I am in my dreams.

20. I was passing through the Philippines during an attempted military coup in the 1980s. There were pre-teen kids my age carrying automatic guns.
21. I’m not into computer games, but I’m very competitive and get short term addictions to internet games. I’m currently into Blast Billiards
22. I regularly play lawn bowls
23. I would love to build a sustainable house one day, like those ‘Earth Ships’ designed by the Garbage Warrior.
24. I’m neither religious nor superstitious
25. This list took me my entire lunch time to write, and it's so long since this blog was posted few will ever read it.

All disrespect is fundamentally equivalent in that it falls under the category of "disrespect" just like dogwoods, pine trees, oak trees, and maple trees all fall under the category of "trees" despite being different manifestations of the same thing.

The problem with "black people are monkeys" is that it is disrespectful
The problem with "everyone who eats at mcdonalds is a fatass" is that it is disrespectful
The problem with "fuck all of yall" is that it is disrespectful.

All of them are different yet all of them can be labeled disrespect.

hard concept?

The main cause of all cancers caused by smoke, whether it be tobacco or opium, is not some secret chemical contained only in mass in a single species (like nicotine for tobacco, morphine for opium, and thc for MJ) but rather it is the main body of smoke. This may come from ANY species in the plantea kingodom.

The burning of any kind of cellulose (the material that makes up the cell wall of almost every cell in every plant ever) creates a tremendous amount of tar and other carcinogeons which will inhabit the smoke of ANY plant you ever try to roll up (like maple leaf or lawn grass). Everything said by the expert is totally accurate and everything said by MSNBullshitBC as fake as the last girl I fucked. Peace

I just saw this at the HotDocs festival here in Toronto yesterday. Very powerful & shocking story, again showing how collectively humans are killing the planet.

The director said last night they've been picked up for distribution by Maple Pictures - keep an eye out in late summer/early autumn for screenings. This one is a must-see film.

It's one of those dishes that are soooo good yet soooo bad for you.

That sauce was thicker than Boston maple butter syrup. Goddayum.

Not a traditional Korean dish as you could see.

Time has not been kind to her. She was still hittable in "When Harry Met Sally." Now... well... hm.
Oh, who are we kidding. We'd tap that like a maple tree.


Dude, hate to say it, but WHMS is 20 years old now.

She was 33 back then.
