You seem to be trying hard to avoid gendered pronouns but it just sounds like you had a group of people trying to get you to marry them.

I was working on a film set in Canada and the second AD found out that I was single during our second week. He got down on one knee in front of all of the extras and asked me to marry him. I blanched, they applauded (I think they thought we were dating maybe?). My response was "dude, I like your girlfriend, she's…

I learned my name for bodyparts from Linda Belcher's educational chants:

Yes. Dear God yes.

Done!

Parenting done right (tm).

I'm sending this to my cousin. She insists on telling her toddler that her vagina is called her "body" and now the kid is so confused and freaked out when people use body to mean what it actually does that it is sad and potentially extremely dangerous. Not to mention, it is utterly disturbing on many levels to reduce…

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

Check yourself, Mark. Octopi are ADORABLE. They're also incredibly intelligent and they will one day be kind rulers once they've enslaved humanity... I mean... uh... YOU SAW NOTHING, HUMAN!

Pffft, yes, they will, they'll just act sad and suggest I maybe consider being nicer if I wouldn't mind.

I am not going to take a side on the Dunks vs Tims debate because I am a Masshole married to a Canadian but I really need someone to explain to me the existence of Boston Pizza. Boston is known for many things. Funny accents, baked beans, sports teams, drunk college kids... Pizza is most certainly not one of them.

Tim Hortons Fact: If you're flying into Iqaluit from Ottawa, you can tell which people on the plane are flying home by noting who is carrying doughnuts from the post-security Timmy's, as these are not available at the destination. Anyone who could make a Tim Horton's in Iqaluit economically viable would probably wind…

To all the Yanks complaining about how Timmy Hos doesn't know how to make a decent iced tea: does it occur to you that we are covered in snow 6+ months of the year, and iced drinks don't exactly hit the spot during those blizzardy days? Just donuts for thought.

Reminds me of when my Jr. High science teacher said orgasm instead of organism. We giggled like school children, well because we were.

The only thing Dunkin' Donuts coffee is good for is cleaning out portable toilets. You wouldn't want to put that shit on real porcelain. The real travesty is that you think anything should be compared to it besides industrial cleaning chemicals.

I *do* miss them baking the donuts in-store :(

Canadians like Tim Hortons because when it first opened like decades ago it was actually a quality product, like doughnuts baked on site. Then they expanded like mad and the quality has been on a steady decline ever since, but they had a wicked marketing campaign that managed to make Tim Hortons synonymous with being…

Here, this is my first Kinja post and I am a long time reader, who is shy and does not like to partake in internet comments. But I cannot let you trash talk Tim Hortons like this. My darling Tim Hortons is superior to all other food chains, in that it is cheap and mildly flavourful. The post-coffee stomach cramps are…

TimBits are actually pretty yummy.

We don't all love Timmys. Fresh pot every 20 minutes my ass! You think I don't know what a pot of coffee that has been sitting on a hotplate for an hour tastes like? You can't pull the wool over my eyes, and I know you don't bake your donuts fresh, and your breakfast sandwiches are a crime against breakfast! You are a…
