If reefer is a truck, then the madness part would be that it came to life and attacked.........like in Max. Overdrive.

Don't lose sleep over it wkmac.......it was a fleeting thought/vision in my brain and it's gone now. It was a location joke....you had to be there. My brain is so overloaded with trivial stuff, it just spills out and rolls right down the drain. I get a big laugh out of it. You don't see the humor perhaps....then again I don't read history books. Different strokes! (what you talkin' about, Willis?) See, silly crap like that. Just brain farts.

MJ is Michael Jordan.

Mary Jane to us old folks.

If those are indeed your own thoughts perhaps you had better let others continue to do your thinking for you through their cartoons.

I preferred her over Ginger. Hometown girl.

I thought it was LSD that caused those kind of flash backs not marijuana?

LSD and a desire to watch X-rated movies while still in high school? Certainly unlike any grandmother I have ever known.

Actually it's LDS, a Mormon trauma that haunts people with flash backs of long underwear. ( I told you that's how my brain works.)

Do the nightgowns with just a hole down there count as racy lingerie for you?

The Federal Court of Canada on Wednesday ordered Air Canada to pay $12,000 to Ottawa French-language rights crusader Michel Thibodeau in part because when he asked an English-speaking flight attendant for 7Up in May 12 of 2009, he got Sprite.​

"The applicants' language rights are clearly very important to them and the violation of their rights caused them a moral prejudice, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of their vacation," Justice Marie-Josee Bedard wrote in her judgment.
Air Canada was also ordered to apologize to Mr. Thibodeau and his wife Lynda.

This had nothing to do with the beverage served but rather with the arrogance of a couple who refused to speak a language that they fully understood. I can appreciate pride in their national language but to sue over such a trivial matter clearly shows how litigious our society has become.

Maybe I can sue the next time I go to Montreal and one of the natives can't be bothered to acknowledge me when I ask for directions in English.

But that's the charm I like about Montreal.

I just hope that the next time I go to Canada, someone shoots be before I get across the border.

Canada is a beautiful country rich with natural wonders and (for the most part) friendly people. Much like football in Texas, hockey is a way of life in Canada. Toronto is as American as any US city. I'm surprised a metrosexual such as yourself would not want to go to Montreal.

First of all, I'm not a football fan, second I really dislike (can't use the word hate anymore) hockey. The only place I have been to in Canada was across from Detroit and I really wasn't there long. To be honest with ya, I have to wonder about the sanity of anyone that goes without sun as many days as that part of the world.
Because I'm in a good mood, I'll let ya slide on the metrosexual comment.

I hate hockey !!!!

I hate hockey !!!!

Bobby Clarke, one of the members of the Broad Street Bullies (Philadelphia Flyers), was not so much a hockey player as he was a goon.
