I. Know. They. Are. Different. Things. And I don’t think anyone who would create a sentence like “The difference is that cartomancy is mostly interior.” is in any position to get snobbish about the differences. 

Thanks, that’s really helpful!

Everyone. And Russians, don’t forget Russians. And Erdogan in Turkey.

Oh, I’m not a fashion specialist. You’ll have to make your own market. Try Binion’s.

I agree. I have a friend who used to have a business turning old furs into new pillows and teddybears. I wish I had a leather sewing machine because there was good money in it.

Fun fact: my great-uncle (grandfather’s elder brother) was the last horse-and-wagon bread delivery service for Weston’s Bakery in Winnipeg. He would go around with a team of percherons delivering bread. When the horses got too old Westons pensioned him out generously, but there were so many complaints from people…

Have you ever done an article on the Philippines jeepney? It’s an amazing species, but in its decline. I was there in the 90's at their height and they were more blinged-out than Fat Elvis. Amazing. I keep wanting to start a jeepney line, particularly as I live in Ottawa and the transit here sucks donkey ass.

They will never donate leftovers. They don’t want to see teh Burberry brand on some hobo begging for pennies outside Starbucks. It reduces the value of the brand.

BRAVO!!! Thank you.

My mother loved things like ouija boards and fortune tellers, but she cautioned her daughters NEVER to have anything to do with them, because whatever power there was in them didn’t come from God. In retrospect, that says volumes about my mother’s sense of damnation.

God, don’t they look dapper? I’m anti-fur, but that hat with the mink band is adorable. Does it still count if the mink has been dead for 60 years?

Bucky is single on a regular basis, but there’s a fair degree of competition. As there would be for a curly-haired Irish-Canadian author/bartender.

You mean contouring? Out. Way out.

Thank you! Sometimes arcane things like star ratios can tell you an awful lot about a discussion. I hope that person is reconsidering their position. I mean, I don’t have hope per se, but it’s POSSIBLE.

Wait till the Chinese Credit Crisis and the Russians need to pull their money out to make bail in Washington. The price of housing in Vancouver will drop by half.

Bucky retired to write books, though. 

Never been??? You must. But never on a Friday or Saturday, it’s so slammed they have a doorman. I’ve been going for twenty years now, since it was across the street and the ladies’ room was haunted.

Dunno, you tell me. Princess Diana dressed up as a cop and went to clubs to see if anyone recognized her. That’s a bachelorette idea I approve of, even if it would normally get you arrested.

You know what they need? LESS FUCKING BIGOTRY YOU PIECE OF SHIT.

You’d think so, but I had them in Wilno and Wiarton and it gets hot as balls there.
