I have no power. That's enough bite for me. Wasted food too.

You guys really gotta do something about your random spurts of sewage smell on the street.
I have no idea how you guys can live in it, let alone breathe it.

that suuuuuucks brah. The flood from a bit ago made me want to buy an external power supply just in case it happens again. Good to have those.
Until the battery catches on fire (happened to me)

lol now I don't want to. Am I the only one who is as unprepared for a fire as can be. I got no detectors and no extinguisher.
Me neither. My only option was to grab on to it, run it like a football down a flight of stairs and heaved it into the lawn lol

Got hit by the rain this afternoon on the 401 while driving back from Kingston. Hit two areas where it was really coming down hard. Between Belleville and Trenton and again between Cobourg and Port Hope. The second time I couldn't see anything farther than 2 car lengths ahead of me with the exception of the taillights on the car ahead. Couldn't even see the rest of the car.
Apparently my friend has a baby opossum in his recycling bin right now.
Except that's anecdotal so it's definitely not true.

New York is way worse. That entire city smells like hot garbage to me.

Well we did have a record flood not that long ago. But that's a Core phenomenon for the most part.
dammit you beat me to the joke
NYC is definitely worse but also their streets are so fucking old, and sewers so narrow, and pop. density so much higher....

Review of Shinobu Sushi
Website: http://www.shinobu.ca/
Location: http://tinyurl.com/jwg945r
Apps: We had a bunch of different appetizers (Toriten Nanban, Salmon Yukke, and Shimesaba) and the Shimesaba (mackerel) was the best of the bunch with the Toriten Nanban a good #2 (chicken). The Salmon Yukke was small, unappetizing and a waste of money, so avoid it if you go there.
Drinks: I bought a bunch of beer from the LCBO, so I didn't try anything there except the green tea. The green tea was excellent and made of the good powdered stuff not the shitty tea bags. There were a bunch of sakes available, but again, I had a bunch of beer already, so I didn't bother.
Service/Dining room: This place was really really small; it only has space for a maximum of 20 people, so if you want to try this place out, be sure to call early and ask for reservations. Otherwise, the Japanese servers there were pretty friendly and I thought they did a good job. I didn't have to ask for refills of anything, and the food came out promptly.
Mains: My cousin and I had the Supreme Assorted Sashimi and my wife had the Supreme Assorted Sushi. The presentation was pretty unique as I got mine with the actual fish head still on there (eyes on and all). Still, I've had much better sashimi at other places and I was quite disappointed as this place is also on the Japanese Canadian Restaurant Association and I expected better of them. My wife's sushi was ok, but she didn't feel like finishing it, so there was red flag there.
Overall: We each gave the place 6s.

Have any of you guys been to Mi Ne Sushi? Bit on the pricey side, but it's excellent. I've only been to the Aurora location, but they have one downtown as well.

Double cheeseburger.
Could also try stuff off their secret menu but don't get anything blue cheese as it overpowers the meat.
Edit: I'm sorry, DoctorWho?
Edit2: Zee, what did you like about the Aurora location?
I'm a little late, but the High Priest burger is pretty amazing. It's basically a Big Mac, but done correctly (ie not small and shitty).
Well, it was about a year ago that I went, but from what I remember, everything was well-prepared and tasted fresh. The fish had just the right texture. Restaurant was clean and not too cramped either. It was just a good experience, overall. I think it justifies the above-average prices.
This x1000.
But you won't.
Oh, Fuzzy, you read me like poem

We're two sides of the same coin. The only difference being I'm straight and you're gay.
