with a little math and some judicious JavaScript

You'd think that I would've learned years ago to flee any document containing this phrase.

Neat.

He's been lampooned not once, but twice by The Royal Canadian Air Farce.

At least three times:

"Say, did you pick up those brake pads I asked you to?"

"Nope! I got you something better: marshmallows!"

Everybody take a picture of yourself when you look at the photoset. We'll make a photoset out of it.

That was fun.

I ordered you to click once before and you landed on this page. Are you sorry? Yes No!

Wonderful textual timing.

MeFi post: Patch Windows now.
Interesting. I tried downloading and viewing the test file in a directory. Windows notified me that it detected dangerous code execution and was shutting down the parent process (explorer.exe, in this case). Calculator did not start.

Thank goodness for OS/2! yes, I'm kidding.

MeFi post: Where to find nice posters
I am disappointed because I do want to find nice posters, to hang on my wall.

Trust me, there are some posters here I'd like to hang on my wall.

The Tim Hortons pin icons would blot out the rest of the landscape.
posted to MetaFilter by DrJohnEvans at 1:56 PM on November 15, 2005
You, my friend, have never been in downtown Toronto.

Currently residing at Yonge & Wellesley. :) But you're right. I've spent enough time in small-town and medium-city Canada to know that Tim Hortons would be plentiful anywhere else, though.
posted to MetaFilter by DrJohnEvans at 6:33 PM on November 15, 2005
Nice-looking indeed. Only problem is that there's no Tim Horton's on Elgin Ave off Avenue Rd.

MeFi post: Landlocked tides
I received this email from a lurker:I was born and raised in Devil's Lake, and didn't leave until I went to college in 1994. Here's some random stuff about the area. Feel free to post this if you're inclined; I don't have a metafilter account but am a daily visitor to the site. I'll get an account when paypal is governed under FIPS, or when they allow you to send cash in your balance to someone other than eBay. :)

Yeah, the lake is a mess. There's so much algae in... [more]

Dammit, I'm always seven years behind the times. I would've noticed the date, but Netscape 3 didn't display it properly for some reason.

MeFi post: We are all children in the arms of Chivas.
Uh, has anybody else noticed that AWOK has taken advantage of the insane burst of traffic to plug their first filmed sketch?

I'm pretty sure this was a publicity set-up, and you all fell for it.

Ah, drobot beat me to it. Two voices of reason are better than one, I guess.

As joalf pointed out, Mississauga is on the list. MISSISSAUGA. All credibility from this list may have held has been lost.

Also, "from this list" should be "that this list".

Also, sleslie, that first link is slightly inaccurate. Should be:
