Friend of many, feared by few, I’m CB, and I’m bored. Ask me anything.

This is the opposite of those “Eat more Chikin” ads.

Turkeys want to live, too. I mean, sometimes. They’re pretty stupid.

Here in the US, we celebrate Columbus Day today (aka that holiday that only people who aren’t you get off).

Columbus:

Gallant Explorer?

Horrible Person?

Product of his Times (The past is a foreign country...)?

Moron Who Thought the Earth Was Way Too Small?

Not Even the First European to Voyage to the Americas?

Not Actually Named Columbus?

Give us your Columbus takes!

I live in Saskatchewan, one of many provinces where there is only one official language. In Quebec, the official language is French. The only officially bilingual province is New Brunswick. If I was doing my current job there, then yeah, this would be in both official languages (as is required).

Because if it were in “ Quebec-French” , no one would care about it.

N o one.

Do you like big butts? Don’t lie.

Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain were better.

Also, I’ll go with “moron who thought the world was way too small”, “not first person to voyage to the Americas”, and “product of his times (which doesn’t excuse that he was a horrible person)“.

It’s all gotta be proportional.

Make friends , work excessive hours, and drive a lot.

I’ll tell you in more detail next year since my girlfriend and I are likely doing a BC trip.

Happy thanksgiving!

What do you like most about your Fiesta?

Hooker > CB

Couldn’t agree more. Also, couldn’t resist.

Thanks!

I like that it’s fun without getting me in too much trouble. Flooring it and shifting through the gears is pretty quick. Fuel economy is great too. I just wish I had room for a utility car and a fun car, rather than compromising.

What did Columbus ever do to deserve the wrath of Canada?

CB > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever
10/08/2018 at 12:20

Caused a bunch of Europeans to come over here. Which I guess makes me thankful for Canada, but there’s a whole bunch of other issues with that.

If I move to New Brunswick would I have to learn French to get a job?

CB > punkgoose17

With any federal, provincial, or municipal government (or any essential service)? As far as I know, yes.

Columbus was a Freemason. The Freemasons knew about the Americas before setting sail. Columbus’s signature remains uninterpreted into any language known.

Kinja'd!!!

Notice the hooked X, an ancient symbol of Freemasons and Knights Templar.

Which province has the worst drivers? And ho w can i scare them off my roads?

CB > Dogsatemypants
10/08/2018 at 15:10

Every province’s drivers are awful in their own way. Quebecois are aggressive. Ontario drivers are numerous and selfish. Saskatchewan drivers have no clue how to follow rules of the road.

You can't stop them. I'm sorry.

My main pet peeve is the goobers from bc that think the overtake lane is really for slow moving kanuks.

To answer your question now that this is a little buried, I’m the guy who would refer people to your wife’s job for assistance.

So yeah, that’s why I tend to keep my line of work on the down-low.
