In summary, Danger has a small crush on Swedish TV, and thinks that the russians are bad arses. He also mentions that taking a math class at 8:00 isdestructive.

Kind of weird to see the main guy from "Burn Notice" staring in "Fargo".
Oh, but he was so good! He completely changed his appearance and demeanor. It took me 5 minutes to figure out where the hell I'd seen him before.

Here in the Soviet Republic of Canuckistan we have Mounties. The most you'll get is a night in a warm jail cell with a moose, guarded by a Mountie who is most likely a bloody Maple Leafs fan.

I actually can't agree more.

He's not Canadian. He slipped up with the crack about a jailed moose. He just about said, "moose and squirrel."

I've been putting in an average of 14 hours of practice a week on my (electric) guitar for almost 2 years now, but I still can't play those 16th notes at 240bpm. Kinda frustrating when sustained hard work doesn't pay off.

I think I remember reading or hearing an interview where the guitarist for Pink Floyd said his fingers got all mixed up trying to playing fast. Maybe fast is not your thing. With all that practice you can probably do some great covers though.

You literally have to slow down your playing a complete crawl, and play it repeatedly over and over until you progressively get a little faster. Guitar takes a ton of patience, which is why many people give up the instrument altogether.

If you persist, you will see results.

And as Spinnor said, David Gilmour is a good example of how sometimes less is more. But it all depends on what you like or want to play.

But moose in Canadian translates to mouse. A moose in the heuse.

I always here "moose and squirrel" in Natasha's voice.

If you know what I'm talking about, you just dated yourself :biggrin:.

I posted this clip in the animal lovers thread a while ago, and later I could not get rid of the feeling that the clip may be representative of what it feel like when members and moderators crawl around on PF and read posts they don't agree with... does it feel like this, I wonder? :smile:

Why would they say Arp, Arp to you, when you are not even there?

EDIT: Ah, sorry, I seem to have an autistic thing from time to time.

I guess they've completely lost sight of what made the place a strong business back in the day.

Haven't been to one for months. But maybe valid points in the article on trying to please everyone, with salads, yogurt, etc. Still, Wendy's offers similar fare, but seems to be doing well.

There was this guy today , who's name was "Mort", short for Morton. Remembering my high school French, I told him: "If you went to France you would be dead", which is literally true. He somehow took this as a threat from me. So much for a stupid joke; I had done something similar with this woman whose name was "Nada" (really Nadia, but she pronounced it as Nada): "If you went to Spain, you would be nothing" , which almost got me a slap in the face.

I think the all day breakfast is a smart move. I would go there for a breakfast item late in the day instead of not going there at all. It's not like their breakfast items are custom and difficult, they can be slapped on the grill with no effort.

Sonic has always served their breakfast menu all day.

I guess BK is the only major fast food place, at least burger place, that has no breakfast,

Somehow never saw it, but makes sense, all the people going to work in a hurry in the morning.

Yeah, I don't know of any fast food place that doesn't offer breakfast. That used to be a big thing for my girls if I let them skip the school bus and I drove them through McDonald's for breakfast burritos and orange juice and then dropped them off at school.

Excepting I guess fried chicken places like Popeye's or KFC (If it is still in business), but maybe true for all burger places.

I like the monster tacos at burger king (with the extra sauce) :oldsmile:

Right now, though, I've got a rack of Kansas city spareribs on my rotisserie. Problem is, the recipe calls for 5 hours of cooking and it's been about 1.5 hours, and I'm hungry.

Guess I'm going to have to break open a can of soup
