Nixy, did you get the news about the fires here?

[Leslie]

I dunno how far the news gets. Paul's parents heard about it, and mine did.

There was a giant fire at the 5 points here in Barrie.

How do you burn down a beach?

It's Toronto. Doesn't everything burn there?

 

[Leslie]

It is approximately 2 hours north of downtown Toronto

No need for the large type, dear. At least I'm in the correct province.

One question, though...if most of it burned on 30 Nov, what the hell is burning now?

 

[Professur]

The key work being 'downtown'. Given the sprawl that TO is ...2 hours out might still qualify. People here in the MTL suburbs still have to pay MTL support taxes all the way out to the other side of the Richelieu River.

So is the Bronx, from Manhattan.

 

[Nixy]

I had heard about Wasaga...a "friend" of mine from Collingwood told me...I hadn't heard about the Barrie one though...it's so sad, I like historical buildings

So, does everyone in Canadastan hate Toronto or sumthin?

 

[Professur]

So, does everyone in Canadastan hate Toronto or sumthin?

Pretty much. Even the Torontonians hate Toronto.

 

[Nixy]

Pretty much. Even the Torontonians hate Toronto.

That's why I moved to Calgary

Yes.

Very much so.

Loath even.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

So, it's kinda like the Canadastani Detroit then?

 

[Professur]

Or Newark. Or Baltimore. Or Nashville.

 

[paul_valaru]

Or Newark. Or Baltimore. Or Nashville.

Or Tehran, or Baghdad.

 

[Professur]

Um, no. The residents of Tehran like living there.

 

[Nixy]

Most of the people in Toronto THINK they like living there...but they don't, because if they did they wouldn't be so rude and bitchy all the time.

 

[Professur]

Ouch. Please don't make me bite my tongue like that. It hurts.

 

[Nixy]

Ouch. Please don't make me bite my tongue like that. It hurts.

huh?
