Aww, come on - it opens this weekend! *promote

*fire!

This is a made in *Canada movie, of course.

Right now there is an entire generation of people who have no idea what instrument is playing this music.

I've experienced this at my workplace. We have to submit goals for where we want to be in a year, in five years, in a decade. Saying that you are happy doing what you are doing right now isn't good enough, and you HAVE to come up with someplace else in the company where you'd rather be. It's a little demoralizing that you aren't just allowed to be happy.

I can't tell if that's the same ship we sailed on in Alaska last year (they have four that look the same), but it's definitely a Celebrity Cruise ship. That is a big ship.

This is a fantastic clip with the music.

The Toronto Star reports that no one was injured. (Whew.)

The sight of Fluttershy grabbing a guard by the torso and shaking him to death brought a happy tear to my eye.

Winter tires are available, but I don't think any state requires you to have them.

The problem in Seattle is 1) the people aren't used to snow, 2) it's usually a later of ice covered in a later of wet snow, and 3) it's damn hilly. It doesn't snow often so there's no real incentive to buy winter tires.

I know in Quebec all vehicles (? might be all passenger cars) are required to have them on for the winter months. I live in Manitoba, and while they don't require you to have winter tires, most people get them because otherwise the all season rubber freezes and your tires go lumpy.

I can't *not* upvote the pony.

I'm positive that REM clip aired before 1999.

*researches*

Hmm, I guess not. Wow, I feel old.

WHY DO I WATCH THESE THINGS??

Either he's a wuss, he's playing it up a lot, or his zapper's a lot more powerful than ours. (It looks like the same model.) We have one, and while it does hurt, it just feels like a strong static shock.

I've voting for wuss.
