This would be some of that fake news we keep hearing about?

That was too fancy for this burger and fries crowd.

I never knew this was a Thing.

Not in my books. If you get paid, you’re at least semi-pro. Pro is if you can make a living at it. A friend’s kid played lower division soccer in Germany for a couple years, and it was Pay and Play. If you sat on the bench, you made nothing. Completely cutthroat, no grizzled vets willing to help the hot new youngsters…

We’re all grain-fed up here.

He got paid real money for it. Not real good money, mind, but real.

That must have been hard.

Naw, just Old Dutch Rip-L Chips, with some of my killer home-made dip (Old Ouch, as a friend’s daughter used to call them).

I have a friend who played semi-pro basketball in Canada where the players weren’t allowed to be taller than (IIRC) 6'. Maybe Bieber joined a league for dwarfish Canadian expats.

“Jungle juice.”

I can see a horror movie coming out of that.

That makes more sense than my wondering if Vanna White had recorded a Christmas song.

Saw Moonlight last week and it was wonderful in so many ways. Thrilled to see it get this attention.

This sorta makes me think of the Four Corners Project.

You dress for it, it’s mostly fine. Some days (not often) I’ve been stuck out there at around -40, no wind chill. What a joy those days are.

As I am about to head out the door it’s -20C right now, with a wind chill making it closer to -30C. And I walk AS I work, close to 17km (10-11 miles) every goddamned day.

Yeah, spending the days outside in Saskatoon and then reading this I get a serious case of the Whatevs.

I was all set to come here and say the same. Thanks for beating me to pedantry.

As a Saskatchewanian who works outside, I want to scoff at your wimpy attititude, but you know what? That looks shitty and cold.

Not quite as hot, from what I understand.
