1.) That chick has deeply offended me. Not everyone who likes organic gardening is a fucktard who thinks it's gonna save the world. Some of us are capitalist assholes who just like to grow veggies. And it's not free to grow shit. Just ask poor Mr. Sofie, who compares the cost to Whole Foods, and has had to spring for hundreds of dollars worth of mountains of rotten cowshit, peat moss, and vermiculite over the past couple decades.

2.) Some people should forget sleeveless fashions exist.

3.) Vegetables do not and never have grown on trees. I'm willing to bet she has never actually tended a vegetable garden. She makes it sound like living in the Garden of Eden, when it's actually a lot of hard work.

4.) I am sending this to my hippie brother who lives in Monterey. He will crack the fuck up.

and Sofaqueen, in their defense, things are supposed to grow in Santa Cruz. They have this really cool thing there that you might not be totally familiar with. Water. It actually falls out of the sky there. It tends to bring down the cost of growing veggies.

I guess Justin Wilson is in the Witness Protection Program. They told us he died a few years back.



Ahh, much better!

5 hours of sprinkles is significant, Taint.

One thing I don't miss about Cali - Stormwatch '09 (or whatever year it might happen to be).

Every time it rains, it's a news event.

There must be some horrible brain disease like kuru circulating in Santa Cruz.  I could feel brain cells die while I was watching that clip.  I will keep an eye on a young relative who just moved there.  I’m horrified at the idea that he may catch it.

You guys have obviously neglected your civic duties and not attended the local council meeting.   We should have Choad speak up at this point.  He can wax prosaically about the inbreeds in his locale.  This is not specific to Santa Cruz.  You are just jumping on the meme that has been promulgated through out the media... believe me, this is repeated everywhere, by every stripe of citizen.

Sorry O+...its a common misconception that all Canadians talk that way..but its a Toronto/southern Ontario thing..just like a bawston accent or a Texas drawl..its localized.

I beg to differ. I've lived in both Ontario and Quebec, and have many friends in the West. There are distinct traits to Canadian English that carry throughout the whole country. The real differences occur on an individual level. A good friend who grew up in northern Alberta has what most would consider the "classic" Canadian accent, and it's quite heavy. Another friend, from Edmonton, speaks with a far more "CBC" newscaster accent.
Anglos I know who grew up in Quebec sound very distinct from their New England neighbors and while they have many Canadian traits in their English, their speech is heavily influenced by French.

Ahh yes... the classic Peter Mansbridge!
