Thanks Captain Obvious! :)

Just sit them down on the couch and watch a few episodes of 90 day fiance. The dude this season who sent over 40k to his Ukrainian “girlfriend” is notably cringe-worthy, and should get the point across.

Are we or are we not going to talk about Aaron Rodgers and the Canadian Tuxedo he wore flying into the 'Peg???

Hot sauce and Cash money are fantastic names, I gotta admit.

Les Vipères!

I balked at the price a little, but it’s a good deal if shipping the huge, heavy blanket is included!

The Marmite flavoured crisps they sell in the UK were fantastic.

I bought my first wallet chain when I was 12, it lasted me well into my thirties. When it finally gave up on me, I bought a regular wallet, had an eyelet installed, and Mcguyver'd the rest with stuff from the hardware store. My +1 cringes every time she sees it, except when we travel!

Even though the 90's called to have it back, my wallet chain has prevented me from being picked on many a trip.

It’s easy to warm up a glass of wine that’s too cool, just cusp the glass with your hand and swirl until the temp feels right, so even if you forget the bottle on the fridge, no big deal. I’d rather drink too cold than too warm.

Indeed! But I see people do it every damn day...

Don't forget that you're not allowed to drive more than two blocks on King Street downtown, is that still true? How is it enforced??

My old man is a snowbird. He avoids the interstates as if his life depended on it, and with good reason, it’s fucking Thunderdome there.

Montréal isn’t as bad as a lot of other cities of similar size. Standard city driving rules apply (avoid rush hours 7-9am and 3-6pm, downtown is usually a mess and assholes in luxury cars/big SUVs and pickup trucks will cut you off/drive with no regard to their surroundings).

Same goes for Yelp, Google, TripAdvisor or other review sites, always interesting to look back every once and a while. It can give you glimpses into your past. Or at least help you jog your memory about past trips...

If I had shithead picky kids - and they would be, I was one myself - I’d make the standard recipe, and split it in two. One portion stays as is for adults, add a dollop of ranch dressing and mix the other half.

Agreed. Last year we were in Croatia in mid September, and in Split, you could tell the locals were sick and tired of the tourist season and ready to retake their town. But it's probably the best time to go, if you don't mind the occasional surly Dalmatian...

To piggyback on going the wrong way, going the wrong time is great too. Hitting Munich two weeks after Octoberfest is great.

I scrolled too fast, at first I read the header as “how to liven up a funeral”.

Up here in Canada, plenty of people voted for Justin Trudeau solely because of his legalisation platform. I'm surprised none of the candidates have decided to use it as their way set them apart from the rest.
