Green Eyed Monsty Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 11 minutes ago, Pegazus said: But where’s the pair of vice grip pliers to turn the channel knob as the plastic one broke off years ago? In work related news, I got two emails today from coworkers announcing they are leaving the company for another. Must be the first of the year. Oh, right. It is. Took it as a sign to check the current job search emails, but nothing of interest. My father being a Master Millwright would not tolerate such abuse of any equipment. So "us kids" first me and them my sister when she was old enough, were taught how to properly operate such things. Also, parents shopped for quality so always spent a little more, even if it meant saving u for longer, to buy quality stuff that would last. Se we were an Admiral consumer for several generations of TVs and Stereo Systems. Not audiophile grade but quality stuff. GEM 3 minutes ago, TripleH said: I always thought Canadians were nice. OR, you could reverse the order and have Poutine and all of that savory goodness as Lawful Good and Sweet Potato Fries as just plain Chaotic Evil. An ordering which would please my palette much better. A reversed order pretty much works better for me.

At least there's a clear distinction there. It's much worse living in Australia and seeing prices in USA dollars and thinking it's a good price until after you've paid and then realise it actually costs about 1.7-1.8 times as much... 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowRaven Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Poutine is wonderful, and I will not put up with such heresy in my presence (of course, I really do like sweet potato fries too. In fact all fries are good) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
