Toronto-Age |OT3| Going Off the Rails on a Gravy Train
- Thread starter EvilMario
- Start date
I didn't do it in Toronto but up north. I doubt the process is any different. You just pick up a kit, follow the instructions and drop it off again. Takes about slightly over a week to get the results. You can get them in the mail or you can call in for them.

It's ALL OVER ME.
So TIFF tix went on sale while I was at the cottage and I had to panic buy a bunch.
Nothing playing Thursday grabbed me :\
"It Follows" looks fun. It's about ghosts that haunt you but they're sexually transmitted.

So I tried searching but couldn't find anything but is anyone here planning on going to the Montreal Comic-Con? It's running from September 12-14.
I ask here because I'm originally from Mississauga but currently living/working in Montreal. Also there is no Montreal-GAF thread which I find surprising.

Montreal-GAF are probably a bunch of sissies.
I was going to suggest making a thread, but damn - Junior Member status. Something to consider when you're given Member status.
It would be cool to go to the Montreal Comic-Con, but I've had my fill with Fan Expo last weekend, and it involves traveling to Montreal to being with. :lol
There is a Montreal OT http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=61210969
It hasn't been updated in a while though.

I like Rob Ford's subway explosion idea. I hope he wins.
Edit:expansion
Edit:expansion
I like unicorns and dragons. I hope he wins too.
Explosion is a better term for it honestly. Dude's failed at raising money for the thing.
Anyway I'm backing Tory at this point. For a few reasons but one of them is that Tory defuses the insanity of the Ford years while Chow would just lead to more crazy from 'Ford Nation'. We need some dull breathing room to tone down the polarization and Tory fits the bill perfectly.

Yeah. FanExpo is the reason most of my friends can't make it. Also Montreal isn't that bad. 3 AM last calls are pretty nice.
Also thanks Quadratic. I'll check that thread.

You're always welcome to hang with the cool TORONTO GAF crowd; burger debates, political comedies, death threats, the Toronto Ford welcome!

Unless you're a Habs fan...and no, it's not possible to be a fan of both teams... :<
What if he wants to play Kir...

I don't know who Forza is. I'm a random brown dude who used to live in Mississauga all of his life and grew up watching Potvin get shafted for that hack Cujo who then left us for Detroit. I laughed and cried so hard when that happened.

Need some recommendations brehs:
Casual date restaurant in the $15-25 per person range. Preferably with a patio (rooftop or outdoor). Must be downtown. Nothing formal.
Nice place to walk around/sit outdoors. View of something scenic or a place with lots of pretty lights. Preferably somewhere that a lot of people often walk around. Again, must be downtown.
THANKS.

LOL where did Ryerson come from?
I actually met the girl at the guvernment event I went to
Told ya guys to come pick up chicks with me!
Tinder all the Ryerson girls. One of them will bite...right?
There's plenty of patio guides out there for Toronto. I can give you a few places I like personally.
I frequent the Annex a lot and it's not too far from Yonge St. Totally walkable or a quick subway ride. Bedford Academy
Near Yonge and Bloor I can recommend The Pilot and if it's full Hemingways is close by
Down near Yonge and Dundas Queen and the Beaver
Yonge and Dundas Jack Astor's is exactly what you're looking for. Nothing too fancy and the rooftop patio is great at night. Great place to people watch.
I quite enjoy this. None of the candidates seem great to me, but so far I think I'm voting for Tory. As long as Chow doesn't get elected, I'm satisfied. That said, I'm conflicted because I still think Scarborough shouldn't get shit for transit. We need to fix what we have, not expand that line. I don't think it's fair that people who pay premiums to live closer to downtown and subway stations have to suffer, when anyone living in Scarborough should have zero expectations for subways beyond what is existing. Everyone's transit plans are trash - trying to polish a turd by adding additional smaller turds.

Thats about as long as i havent been there. It wasnt named 401 games back then it was 401 convenience. Went there for Magic and nothing else before they started expanding into DnD and other things. I sold all my stff(which i incredibly regret now). Also used to play at Ryerson down the street and this other comic store that used to play magic down the street. They used to hold tourneys as well but i cant for the life of me remember the name of the place. It might have been Grey region but i dont think so.
I got an email from pizzanova for the same deal. It's probably to clear out the remaining single tickets. I notice for some of the foreign language films I attend the theatre is half full.
I still do split a FLEX 10 pack every year with a friend so I guarantee entry to films I'm interested in.

If your eating it in one bite then you're doing it wrong...and i think you mean "macaron".
Can we just nuke the entire planet back to the stone age already? The world is depressing enough and you go and tell use that Nerfgun?
Hell I'll let you push the button for the first one.
Most people pronounce it "macaroon" anyway, which goes to show they are doing everything wrong
This confused the hell out of me for the longest time.
I blame the provincial and federal governments for letting telecoms run a train on the public. People who work there are just there to maximize profits. I don't love Tory but he is the lesser of 3 (maybe 4) evils. Can't fault the guy for being born into wealth and not having to live in a co-op I guess.

The Great Macaroon Debate of Summer 2014
They're pretty freakin expensive for what you get, but the good ones are really good! I some times get them from Bobette and Belle (but usually the butter tarts) when my wife and I go there.
I have no idea who I'm going to vote for...I sure ain't voting for Ford. I don't like Tory. But goddamn it, Chow....
...
David Soknacki!

Chow's not doing it for me. I think Tory's the way to go, even though I'm confident the SmartTrack plan will not go through.
People pronouncing it "macaroon" should be beaten with a stick. You should never confuse one of those things with the godly macaroon.Most people pronounce it "macaroon" anyway, which goes to show they are doing everything wrong
I was very confused by Divvy's post until alienxx45 corrected him.
Well i meant it figuratively
Actually I had no idea that's how it's actually spelled. I think they're okay, but it's weird to see them everywhere now. Maybe they're just way too sweet for my tastes.
I'd like to vote for Soknacki, but he's not going to win, and it feels like a vote for him is basically a vote for Ford.
I don't really want to vote for Tory because fuck Rogers, but I wouldn't really care if he got voted in.
I'll probably vote for Chow even though I don't reaaallly want to.

When done properly they can be really good with some interesting flavors. I sure as hell prefer them over the past now-defunct cupcake and never-got-of-the-ground donut craze.
