  • I think perhaps I might be getting slightly faded

    Its cold here in Calgary and my summertime tan is disappearing. My robust reds and browns arising from a season seadooing on the lake is being replaced by lighter and lighter shades and is unlikley to get corrected until I start skiing in a month .

    I realized I had never started a copycat thread before-- a startling omission. Maybe I should start a few DLs just to round out my experience??

    Getting faded means getting drunk/high. Not to be confused with back in the day slang where getting faded meant getting played/beat/defeated. Though, getting drunk/high is self-inflicted fading, I guess.

      Even better-- a double meaning in my title----In that case I started the thread a few days too late-- Had a work function last week where the booze was complimentary and I was the 'client" so I didn't have to try to be impressive

            I thought that Canada wasn't far enough north for that?

              Calgary gets ridiculous amounts of sunshine. The most in Canada.

              333 days each year are sunny.

                    I get sunburned ridiculously easily and they do not go away quickly. You can still (barely) see my sandal sunburn I got while sailing back in June.

                      And you call yourself a Semite.

                        When has HC ever referred to himself as a "semite"?

                          I do have to wonder how a person of Celtic background, like myself, doesn't easily burn (I just seem to tan) while one of you desert people fries up like a strawberry.

                            I don't even know what a sun burn feels like.

                            And HC is not a 'desert person'. He's a Polish Jew.

                              All of this information is fairly meaningless and pointless, but I don't like passing up opportunities to correct Alby:

                              1. My father's family (the jewish one) hails from Ukraine and Hungary, but only several generation back.
                              2. My ethnicity is mainly Irish.

                              Where the **** did you get the idea that I'm Polish? I don't remember ever saying anything about my ethnicity beyond "white" and "dad is Jewish".
