Sadly, in many fun touristy cities around the world, tourists are making it terrible for tourists. (But especially for the residents.) This is really nothing new (I grew up in close proximity to a small town that was overrun by misbehaving tourists all summer long), but the growth of urban tourism in recent year has…

Thank you for all your great work here. I will miss your voice and hope to read it again soon in whatever form you choose. And may you rise above the darkness within. 

Indeed. When we consider that the leader of the Conservative Party is a suburban delivery man who can’t seem to distance himself from the white supremacist contingent, and the leader of the NDP can’t seem to get any national attention whatsoever (though I’m personally a fan), I’m inclined not to complain too hard…

That’s some first class trolling.

We’ve always known that teenagers were too horny. Finally science has proved it.

So closer to the centre than the far left Hillary Clinton was? I’m guessing you are imagining a successful Democratic candidate being a touch to the right of Mitt Romney, and miles to the right of Richard Nixon.

A couple of falls convinced me that ABS brakes are a necessity if I want to ride during weather that isn’t just warm and dry. The Burgman is a joy to ride, and…

The president then went on to say:

What other kind of flatulating is there? Don’t answer that. I just had lunch.

Well, she did apologize for that, admitting that she really didn’t know what she was talking about and that she should have refrained from commenting.

It was a joke, son.

I walk tall in México, though (and stay away from the Netherlands).

So is this the legendary “One After 909”?

I’ve never told you this before, but you light up my life.
