    On the other hand, Washington did take the Expos and end the long agony. And KH lives in a suburb IIRC.

    Yeah, that place sure is crap...
    What?

      Yes, even a stuck clock like yourself is correct twice a day. No doubt this is true.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        KH lives in Baltimore. While close to Washington, some people commute from Baltimore to Washington every day, and Washington is the much larger city, I wouldn't call Baltimore a suburb of Washington.

          People who move to Ottawa are masochists
          Guess where I'm moving this week - St. John's.

          You may be right on this one.

            See: even He can't bring himself to live in Washington. And God knows he has low standards: he's living in Baltimore.

            What?

              Nothing proves my point more than that. When people leave Ottawa for St. John's, you know it's gotta be bad.

                  Probably that St. John's can be a fun place to live if you can get past the weather and the tax rates

                    • How is that different from fun in Calgary?
                      To us, it is the BEAST.

                        • Here is how they have fun in Calgary:

                          Streaker could face charges after dignity stripped in Calgary

                          CALGARY (CP) - It wasn't pretty when a streaker fell flat during his moment of glory at a Calgary Flames NHL game Thursday.

                          With five minutes left in the game between the Flames and the Boston Bruins, the unidentified man, wearing nothing but a pair of red socks, climbed over the glass next to the penalty box.

                          But his landing was less than perfect. He wound up hitting his head and falling flat on his back in full view of fans.

                          Five years ago, a British visitor pulled a similar stunt at a Flames game but did so successfully.He took a lap around the ice before being arrested and later paid a fine.
                          To us, it is the BEAST.

                              • In Montreal (and probably Ottawa too) it's 2.4m

                                EDIT: Ottawa gets 2.2 m annually
