Thanks kneroh! I gotta tell you though, Canadians outside of Toronto think that Torontonians are snottier than the rest. Kind of like how New Yorkers are perceived. And it's true to an extent. I know I've got an elitist mentality with regards to some things.
Bats, some people in nicer areas like Plano get shot at for cutting people off. It was pretty bad a few months ago, it seemed like it was happening once a week for a bit there. You really just can't tell who you're pissing off. |

Growing up in Buffalo I've had the pleasure of visiting Canada and encountering our northern friends a lot! I have nothing bad to say. Plus my great, great grandparents were Canadians that moved to the US.

That's cool that that perception is still out there. I can see how it's possible though, I don't think I look very approachable, especially when I was still there, but tourists used to come up to me all the time to ask for directions. I guess you'd have to live there to see and feel it.
Do you watch No Reservations? Bourdain was in Baltimore, Detroit and Buffalo on last night's episode. We used to get out to Niagara Falls to go shopping when we were younger, but we never really made it into Buffalo. I got buddies that used to make the drive to watch the Sabres and the Leafs play there because it was cheaper than watching the game in Toronto. |

Thats quite disturbing. Quote:
As the guys get to know each other and the unit grows, they start customizing their gear to their needs and tastes and eventually end up like the classic versions. At least that's my dream. Quote:
They should have had the original characters from 1982, 1983 & maybe 1984 in the movie since it's called Rise of Cobra. Heavy Duty, Vipers, Eels, Sgt. Stone, and more would not be in it. I think it would make for a better story line seeing as that was the start or rise of the Joe/Cobra line. Then, since there is sequels already planned, they could introduce new characters each new movie just like they did with each new year(series) of the G.I.Joe figures/vehicles. Would make more sense I think.

Why thank you. Mind you, we can get pretty nasty when irritated (war of 1812, Passendale, Hill 51, Ypres, D-day). Quote:

Well SE is on the cover of this month's Wizard so there'll be some coverage there. I'll pick it up this week sometime when I get a chance to.
