Scathing anti-Vancouver post by Laxdude in 4...3...2...1

John, shame on you! Give those bits back right now!

February 17, 2010 | Unregistered Commentercaprise

Okay, Fine. I will give the bits back to (in order)-

1. A Random Listener
2. The Todbot
3. Marc
4. AJ
5. Artie in Research
6. Heroin Elephant is all me, so I'm keeping it.

Funny, didn't steal anything from Tod...

February 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFreddyT

Now John,

Thanks for not stealing from me.

Marc likes asian women because they TEND to be subservient. My cousin (who is an ASSHOLE) only dates asian women for a similar reason. Marc needs everyone in his life to cowtow to him (see Tod's low man on the totem pole status and his angry canceling of the podcast w/o confering with the rest of the 'cast' for examples) A strong willed woman would INSTANTLY put him in his place.

However this may be completely wrong, i hold no medical or psychology degree and am pretty much a dumb ass. Actually, this is complete speculation on my part.

Watched a Korean movie this weekend, they had Hite in the beer cooler. I laughed.

It is not that I hate Vancouver, it is just that we do so much wrong. We had to stop having a sand castle competition because riots kept breaking out! The only parade is for Gay Pride because all the other ones ended up in riots, the gay one just ends up in an orgy...similar to a riot, but not a riot - the police are also scared of catching the gay so are unable to pour gasoline on it.

It is also sad that the town I grew up was swallowed by China Town, but even saying that will have some branding me as a racist.

Growing up in Vancouver, not to mention Canada, builds one a very large inferiority complex.

why did they RIOT at a sandcastle competition?? LOL!!!!!!! I didnt know there so much RIOTING in Canada. Weed is essentially legal up there, it should be the most laid back country in North America! I always have a wonderful time at my house in Ontario (on lake erie)....except the time the RCMP showed up to one of our bonfires, hog tied the ONLY black guy i'd EVER seen in our beach community and tossed him in the lake. True story, i swear.

Be glad you dont live here in Philadelphia. IF the police show up when you call them they end up shooting someone. So i dont call them.

Polly,

A lot of people think that smoking weed leads to sitting around, and getting high. While scientific experiments have generally supported this hypothesis, I have heard certain people with a Masters degree insist that smoking week leads to cruising around the barrio and blowing away pendejos. I, of course, am talking about B-Real, who majored in "Ceremonies."

And many times, drugs will have the opposite of their stated effects. Think of all the anti-depressants that may cause suicidal tendencies, or people who use alcohol (technically a depressant) to have nothing but a good time.

Well Salwin, i've smoked a Tod Perry amount of weed in my time and never had the desire to do anything else than listen to music, laugh at movies and find answers to life's great questions (then quickly forget them.) The thought of getting Tod Perry'd then taking to the streets for any other reason than to make a snack run (or to buy more weed) seems like a lot of effort for someone Tod Perry'd off their ass.

(From now on I'm going to start using 'Tod Perry' as an adjective to describe 'copius amounts' and as a verb to mean 'completely fucked up.' Hopefully this will catch on and become a new urban expression.)

All I wanted was a Pepsi and FreddyT wouldn't give it to me.....

Let me think back:
Sand Castle Contest: canceled due to riots year after year after year
Salmon Festival: canceled due to riots
Diwalli parades: riots happen, but they are brown people, cops can't do anything
Hockey playoff win: time to riot - cops get to kill people with non-lethal rounds shot to the head
Summer fireworks festival on the beach: Lets have bottle fights over top of families and try to riot.

Then, to counter the riot potential, the VPD (true fucktards) will just illegally search EVERYONE in the area, even those going home on transit and seizing liquor.

Hell, 3 cops in uniform detained (handcuffed) a guy, took him to Stanley Park and beat the shit out of him, were found GUILTY, and still could not be fired.

VPD had the world leader in geographic crime profiling, was willing to give them the system for free. They fire him, try to discredit him, sue him, then buy it for millions from the next owners.

That does not even take into account he cities that use the RCMP as their city cops, it is so great being pulled over by some Frenchy that doesn't really speak English that has only been in the area for a month.

Basically cops have no training on crowd dispersal, and only manage to make things turn into a riot. I also hear that a couple of forces are majorly tied into the biker gangs that control the drugs and skin trade.

Oh, we don't all smoke weed. We still have a lot of hard core drinkers and meth use

February 17, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterlaxdude

Canada sounds awesome

February 17, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMarc

I think we need to take over canada. As a listener from Michigan I find Canadian women are generally more attractive (i.e. Pam Anderson)...but Marc already knows this since he lives in Toronto with his wife who is probably asian since he was molested as a child.

I approve of replacing The Kinks outro with various Hulk Hogan entrance music.

In order of superiority:
Real American
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
nWo Theme
American Made
nWo 2000 (used in this episode)
Eye of the Tiger
Hulk Hogan's Theme

February 18, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterharlingtoxad

If The Kinks go, I go.

I would love to see a riot at a "Salmon Festival"

Maybe South Park is right...blame Canada! I'd'still rather live there than in Philadelphia. PLUS i could get milk in BAGS up in Canada. There's something about bagged milk thats so exotic. Oh and and firecrackers are legal! Nothing like an M80 being thrown at you as a child . Ah...goodtimes in Ontario!

February 18, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPolly

"I want to get at myself right now"
" please dont"

hahahahah fucking great stuff.

February 18, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNick S.

Polly, sorry to burst your dreams, no legal fire crackers and the West coast experiment with milk in a bag ended in the 1980s - because that shit is wack!

So yes Marc, Canada is a riot.

I guess the changes in Vancouver and everything fun being canceled is not totally to blame on riots, because if the Chinese are not into it it dies or moves 'up the valley' with all the white people.
