Like I said in another thread, there are a lot of us old farts on this forum.
62 (this month) Retired, coming up on one year and loving it! Former desk jockey/slacker who fooled them all! Just kidding. |
I'm kind of a private person, so I've been avoiding this thread, but....very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon. Luge lessons. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking. I suggest you try it. At the age of 58, I bought my first Boxster. And, well, here I am. |

Oh my God! You must be my long lost older Brother! That is EXACTLY the same as my upbringing! Soooo.... any idea what happened to Vilma? :D |
40, I bring people back to life from the dead. Please pass the salt and pepper - Im hungry.,

So everyone seems surprised by the number of engineers on this forum. What surprises me are the number of Canadians. I had no idea a convertible could be so popular in a country where you can drive with the top down...what...maybe three days a year? I love you guys. Screw the weather. You folks drive with the top down even when the temperature is -90 Celtigrade, or whatever way you measure temperature in your country.
Full disclosure: I once owned a toque and I know how to use it. Truth be told, if that freakish dried-up Halloween pumpkin "businessman" manages to get elected, my wife Cher and I will be applying for citizenship to your wonderful country, so I might need a reference. |

Not all of canada is Ice and snow :P we might get a inch of snow for one or two days a year here. I leave summer tires on my car year round |

Where i live now we get severe winters but May through mid October we have very temperate weather and tons of sun. The roads are like crap but the top is down most of the time. On the Left Coast you have very moderate weather but the risk of rain, steady, drizzly, week long rain, is always a risk. But hell, the roads are better and everything is so green. -90 Celsius can be expressed as +183 Kelvin. It sounds so much more inviting. And yes, if The Son Of The Orangutan gets elected you are welcome in the Great White North. |
