Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
David_Dovey:
Speaking of Canada, happy Canada Day my Canuck brothers and sisters!
Put some maple syrup on your poutine, or something
Lunchbox:
Shit dude, Canada day is still tomorrow over here.
Also yeah, everyone has accents, it's pretty silly. Also today (during my North American fast-food christening at Wendy's) I heard a guy use the word 'chill' a) as a synonym for 'relax' b) in a completely non-ironic way. I have kind of adopted it. It is a pretty fantastic word.
We went to a lake for swimming. It is like twenty-five degrees out and people are swanning about in swimsuits while I try to soak up as much of this tiny weak sun as I can, in jeans and a t-shirt. Yesterday I actually got sunburnt but it was gone by this morning.
Canada is a crazy land.

This made me laugh more than anything online has in a long time.
We are making poutine with cheese curds tomorrow/today and I am converting an incidental loaf of bread I had started yesterday/today into a maple rye loaf instead of a rye loaf.
Patrick:
I use the word 'chill' like that fairly often. You should hang out with me more. I say 'rad' non-ironically too, and even 'the bomb'! And sometimes, if I'm feeling really adventurous, I'll use 'chill' as an adjective ('that dude is pretty chill')!
Raed golb daerht,
Today, we recieved a new shipment of Romanians at work! They will be with us until September. I worked with one of them last year, she is pretty cool! It's her, her boyfriend (hella rad dude), and a friend of hers (kindof odd, but nice enough) from her university. They are actually staying in the exact room I stayed in last year, as it turns out!
My friend Nathan here in town is homeless. His fiancee broke up with him and left him with nowhere to stay. He's staying with our mutual friend Davida, because he's kindly offered the other bed in his room to Nate for the next 10 days while Nathan finds a place to rent. The poor guy even slept on the street a couple days ago, and without an alarm clock to wake him up, he missed work and got suspended for a couple days. He can't stay with his parents, they're so useless as human beings that they didn't even show up to his high school graduation or even give him an "Attaboy". And I can't even help, because I myself am relying on the generosity of others for shelter and employment. It fucking sucks and what little Catholic remains in me is making me feel guiltier than OJ Simpson.

Go ahead and laugh at my foreign ways - but I've been using "to chill" synonymously for relaxing and possibly smoking reefer cigarettes for quite a while now. Back when we didn't have anything to do (or thought we didn't), a good friend of mine and me used to have a conversation as follows a couple of times every week:
Person 1: "Hi, what's up?"
Person 2: "Not much, hanging out (both) / playing videogames (me) / scamming money (him) / watching a movie (both). You?"
Person 1: "Not much. Wanna chill?"
Person 2: "OK. Be at your place / my place / the parking lot / the pier in 5."

Ouch at that homeless situation. So you're bumming, too? How's that working out? (I've been meaning to try. Will travel a lot later this year and it's probably a neat skill to have.)
