Do you eat anchovies on your pizza?

Canadians are just Northern Hemisphere Australians
You could be right.
There is an Australia Day. There is a Canada Day.
Is there any other country in the world that has a holiday named like that?
I know there is no USA day. Pretty sure there is not a Great Britain day. Never heard of a France day, never heard of a Germany day.
Is it just the two of you?

I wonder how many Americans know the Canadian national anthem? I wonder how many Americans know the name of the Canadian national anthem? I think it is O Canada, but I wouldn't swear to it. And I have no idea how it goes.
I know about 2/3 of the British national anthem, the first two lines of the French (in English) and the first two lines of the German. Don't know anything of any other.
Actually if I tried to sing the British anthem I would screw it up because I would sing "God save the Queen". Not used to there being a king yet.

I'm doing an archive crawl. And again, when I came to that meme, I ignored the green stuff because I was looking for Tim Hortons.
Nice to know that my mind still works the same way it did a couple years ago.

I can relate to this manner of speech, having flown into several Canadian airports and listening to the folks. Most pronounced IN Toronto, I believe.
PF
I have to learn how to read I suppose.
I read that as "most pronounced IT Toronto", and I'm sitting there wondering why anyone would pronounce "boot" TORONTO???
Yeah, "IN Toronto" does make a whole lot more sense.

Wonder if the leather is any good?
"Just left to rot" reminded me of buffalo hunters. They would kill it and strip the hide off and leave the rest of the carcass to rot.
Curious as to whether, if you're going to kill it anyhow, it would be worthwhile to strip the hide for leather?

They do this all the time in movies and TV. I assume it's to build up suspense, but it just seems like it would slow you down.
The intelligent thing, in my opinion, would be to just keep running. If they're about to catch you, seeing they are about to catch you if not going to help. When they grab you you know that they were about to catch you. But if you didn't slow down and look behind you you might have gotten away.
Never having been chased I don't know how I would react.
Thoughts?

Lost me with that "butcher's bread cake". I assumed that was some sort of large bun until he put a slice of toast in the middle of the sandwich.
One thing I noticed - in the John Wayne movie Brannigan, he's in England and he requested two eggs over easy, and someone had to translate that for the waiter.
Yet they have them on that sandwich. They call them flipped but - I thought they didn't know what it was in England. That all their fried eggs were up.
I guess YouTube does have helpful stuff every once in a while.

Normal person, with two full arms. Walking down the street and the arms swing back and forth opposite from the way the legs go. When his right leg goes forward his left arm goes forward, and then when his left leg goes forward his right arm goes forward.
But he has one arm amputated at the elbow.
Does it still swing like that when he walks?
I'm watching a movie. The villain has his arm missing at the elbow. I know this is green screen special effects (like Lieutenant Dan's missing legs) because he takes a potion and he grows his arm back.
But when he does not have the regrown arm, the partial arm does not swing when he walks.
Curious as to whether that's the way it really works, or if the actor is intentionally not moving his arm because of the green screen - that it would block something out if his arm moved.

Now does my good friend also bring me some reloads, whether dump pouch, speed strip or speed loader, which DID exist in '72?
Since you already had a j frame Smith, one would assume you already had a dump pouch or speed strip or speed loaders - either that or you didn't know how to use them so giving you some would be useless.
-
And y'all accuse me of overthinking questions.
This was a simple "would you take the five shot Smith or the six shot Colt, and why", and there are responses about "I would not take a friend's gun because if I have to shoot somebody with it they'll get in trouble", or "I'll go buy another gun because hey I can do that", or "I need something with more capacity than a five shot revolver", or "a revolver won't do it I need a shotgun".
None of that has anything to do with the question.

Mama would slice them open and put them on the table, and then when she baked cookies she would take them off the cookie sheet and put them on that brown paper bag.
I was probably 30 years old before I knew they made cooling racks for putting fresh baked cookies on. I would put them on the grocery bag, just like Mama did. Until you couldn't get grocery bags anymore.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

The bug out bag thread got me thinking of stuff you should carry in your truck. That reminded me of a fellow that had a Prestone jug in his truck. He said he had water in it in case he sprung a leak he can put it in the radiator. I got to thinking that if he had potable water he could put that in the radiator but wouldn't want to drink water out of that antifreeze jug.
And that reminded me of an ooolllld Superman comic (back in the '60s), where Clark and Jimmy and Lois were lost in the desert. They're all dying of thirst and they find a broken down Jeep. And when they drained water from the radiator into a tin can, Clark was using his heat vision to sterilize the water so that Jimmy and Lois could drink it without getting poisoned.
And if all that was in the radiator was rusty water that would probably work. Maybe. But if it had ethylene glycol antifreeze - could you use enough heat to get rid of the ethylene glycol antifreeze?
