Thanks Dev, I wanted to further investigate this but didn't get to it yet.

I got to say, those are sweet kids masks.

Fixed that for you Pun

If you love music, want to visit a beautiful city with great food, fun bars, lovely ladies, an historical district and many other fun stuff to do, you should come to Quebec City this summer. For 54$ you get a pass to the 10 day music festival held outside on the Plaine d'Abraham where it is often that they get crowds of more then 75 000 people and it went up to more then 200 000 two years ago. Every night for 10 days you have two stages (up to 4 shows) and it goes from new discoveries to old favorite and covers classical to hard metal.
This year you could see Rammstein, Santana, Iron Maiden, Rush, Black Eyed Peas just to name those. It's just a fun way to discover music. For the full program got to:

It's in English.

Just thought I'd trow that out there if people where trying to think of something to do from July 8th to the 18th. I would offer lodging, but I'm already booked. I will offer beers if anyone makes it.

Well Pun maybe you were in court in Canada! We love to sue Americans here. It's like a national pastime. Right up there with shoveling snow, drinking beer and having fun.

nope, but I seen that in Vegas. BTW, Little Darlings is the club I work for. Part of the Deja Vu corporation.

I don't think that site is affiliated with Google at all. I think it's just a site someone put together to let Google know what cities really want the fiber network.

And for what it's worth, I think I read somewhere that Greenville, SC is getting its votes from a bot.

From personal experience, the 1920's weren't all that great.

Actually, The Roaring Twenties is a great classic movie, with Bogart as a heel and Cagney as a tweener.

Oh yeah, right. I forgot I should have added that to my list......

outlook does it for me.

They probably annoy the door to door census people by repeatedly saying "These aren't the droids you're looking for"

I got your Big One right here, pal.


Very sunny, somewhat of a breezy wind. Just drove past the beach on Pacific Coast Highway by Gladstones and there's a few people out, but in jackets. It's 64 and sunny out here.

I will. We can also drive to wherever as well, so maybe if there's a few we can find someplace central-ish.

I got out of work just before 5pm one day recently, but couldn't go straight home because I had to meet someone in an hour. I decided I had time for an adult beverage. I didn't want to head downtown to where the trendy/popular places are since I just wanted a quiet drink while watching sports. I headed for a place that is in a restaurant in a residential neighborhood, not in walking distance from downtown businesses or apartments, thinking it should be pretty quiet. I was surprised that the parking lot was packed, and thought maybe there was a private party, but figured I'd go inside, thinking maybe the crowd was in the dining room, not the bar.

I went inside and there was a big crowd at the bar. All men, mostly 35-50, mostly blue collar but some suits. I was surprised - I didn't think the Australian Open on TV was such a draw. Then i saw the bartender. Very pretty blond, late 20's, cleavage and tight jeans. I remembered her from a few years ago at place in a strip mall where I used to make drop-offs at FedEx, and her entourage apparently has grown since then.

I was standing at the bar (crowd was 2-3 deep) sipping my drink when a guy standing next to me said that we'd be getting seats in a few minutes because her shift was ending. Sure enough, soon as the guy taking over showed up, there was a stampede for the exit.

Old OBJ remembers when it was a novelty for places like Coyote Ugly to hire hot bartenders wearing revealing outfits, but places like that are commonplace now in urban settings. I still find it out of context in suburban settings in a bar that's part of a family restaurant. I'm not complaining about eye candy, but it's kind of odd to me somehow

Brilliant. Checking out the other ones in the series now, like "Helpful Bus" and

My college buddy in hong kong told me that he just picked up the lightsaber chopsticks. Too bad they're sold out.

That fucking rocks. Can you imagine doing your work (or fucking around here at punshouse) with your elbows sitting on that bad mother? Fuck.
