Are there any cool northern journeys that begin in Winnipeg? I'm thinking that if and when I move to the Twin Cities, I'll drive up to Winnipeg to see what there is to see. It's about 8 hours, I think.
Substantially. The Lions official prices range from CDN $28 (End Zone) to CDN $75 (Centre line.) But you can often do better through the official touts. The Bombers are usually a good team (except this year.) Pick a game against Western opponents, though they play in the East their history's in the West, and the western clubs are uniformly better anyway.
"Like human victims, animals in slaughterhouses experience terror when they are attacked by a knife-wielding assailant. We are challenging everyone who is rightly horrified by this crime to look into their hearts and consider leaving violence off their dinner plates."
Meanwhile, members of the Westboro Baptist church from Topeka, Kansas, have tried to picket the victim's funeral because, and I fucking wish I was making this up, they wanted to let Canadians know that the beheading was God's punishment for our liberal policies on gay marriage and abortion. Truly.
TonTon, before you get too excited about the Curchill trip, make sure to check some websites on polar bear habitats and migrations. I'm not sure how easy it is to see them in Churchill in October, when the area is ice-free.
Mating is around April time. I meant more yer big groups, in terms of being social. They do shag at other times, and mummy bear looks after baby bears for a while. But this is the only time they get together in numbers.
As I mentioned on the '1 in 18 Men' thread, I think this was the right verdict for everyone. Except the victim's mother, or course, who's out for blood.
I think the dumbest thing I've heard in a long while was from the guy across the aisle from Li when he attacked: "I understand that what he did was beyond his control, but he still should have chosen not to do it."
What this whole thing has reinforced, for me, is that a lot of people can see only black or white in these matters. No gray anywhere. He did it, so lock him up. Forever.
