Well this is a big bust. Got an antenna today and after fiddling with it have a whopping TWO channels coming in.

Where are all the others?...blah, so disappointing. Will probably end up returning it if this is the best I can get.

I bought 4 different antennas at once with the plan of returning the 3 that got the least amount of channels.
At best buy there is a 17 dollar phillips antenna. It was the cheapest one and got me the most channels.

Anyone have experience with fruit/vegetable delivery services? Was contemplating signing up for one for the winter and splitting with a roommate as the produce available at my closest grocery store is super inconsistent and a mixed bag of quality at best.

In particular I was looking at Mama Earth Organics after reading some positive reviews.

A Gaffer did this and said it wasn't that good and offered too much food and not what they wanted I believe.

I've only been to two hotpot places at Pacific Mall and wasnt too big of a fan. Korean BBQ all day (though I've been biased towards Bulgogi Brothers since that was the best KBBQ I've ever had)

I need to go to Korea soon and try some real Korean food though. All my Korean friends say Korean food here sucks lol

I did Front Door Organics for a year or so, and everything I got was good and they have the option of paying a little more to be able to choose exactly what you get every week or every two weeks. It's all seasonal obviously so you'll be eating a lot of kale and potatoes for the next 6 months.

It was a good service, but hard to justify unless you eat a ton of vegetables or have multiple people sharing.

I used Freshcity for a few weeks and I found it to be really really expensive for the amount of produce you get, especially since it was organic, since all the items were tiny. There was also just way too much salad greens, and I really don't like salad very much.

They're all a bunch of Kim Chi faced liars!

Nah, they got more variety here but the staples you get in Koteatown in TO that you get here are more or less the same.

But yes, you should go to Korea.

I have friends that actually feel bad for him.

It's usually "leave him alone" and "everyone's being too dramatic about all this," then continuing on with "I don't live in Toronto, but..."

I just shake my head at them.

I only know one person that sort of defends him with "People are going to miss Ford when they raise property taxes again"

Miserable money grubbing idiot

I do agree to some extent with my friends that it does get too dramatic at times, but he brings all this onto himself.

Yeah he certaily does, and I am just extremely tired of this. I don't even care if he gets arrested or not so long as he leaves this position and the city can finally move on.

The fact that this scandal has allowed Harper to do what he did today in the relative shadows is pretty awful by itself.

Look, guys... all I want from this debacle is a GIF of Ford walking away laughing when one of the reporters asks him, "Are you high right now?"

That's it.

That ruins the joke. You're supposed to read the TO OT3 title in Ozzy Osbourne's voice.

BTW, why do you have Rob Ford as an avatar?

I passed it on Tuesday night, but they were having a private event then. Looks pretty classy (it is in Yorkville) I'll go check it out today for a bit. Wanna try out DR3

There was a press event earlier in the week and around noon today it became open to public. Someone better win one of the prizes!

oh my god Ford's rant video
Click to expand...

It sounds like the off-screen voice is trying to set him up for boxing match. I'm not 100% serious, but the mention of time (Ford argues for 10 and then 15 minutes, but the off-screen voice holds firm on 5 minutes) and a ring, and even donating (donating the purse from the fight win?) makes me think this was boxing talk. Maybe Ford would use his underwear as boxing trunks? :s

The whole part about killing the other guy and ripping his throat out... that's another story. I blame it on the alc-al-al-alco-hol?
