Forget 'no child left behind'

May 27, 2007 in Work

My friend Shari went to a wedding full of Americans this weekend and she proceeded to tell me some of the more quaint things they said….

Bring It On: Fight to the Finish ipod “I don’t get it. Why do all the license plates say Ontario? What does Ontario have to do with Toronto?”

Goal II: Living the Dream film

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou hd

Stepfather II full movie

“Is that body of water the Atlantic Ocean?”

Shari: We have provinces. They’re like states in the U.S.
Necessary Evil movie
Teacher: Oh, well I only know about America.

Yeah. Wow. How about a ‘no teacher left behind’ program instead.

Also working on the National Post news blog Posted has rekindled the competitive blogger in me. My post on the Creation Museum even got some snarky readers commenting.

A Walk to Remember film Black Knight hd Just thought I’d share this lovely little book review by Robert Harris of Barbara Holland’s Freedomland

The Joy of Drinking.

Harris poses a very interesting question:

The coffeeshop or the pub?

Ring Around the Rosie download

download Facing the Giants movie

“Coffeehouses, it must be admitted, have often vied with bars for our affections. In Shakespeare’s day, Holland writes, “coffeehouses sprang up to challenge the taverns. The authorities were suspicious of the whole thing and sent spies to eavesdrop. In the taverns all was amiable and easy, but the coffeehouses were cauldrons of edgy malcontents.” Throw in some iPods and wired soccer moms and you could be at Starbucks.”

The answer, of course, is both. Mostly because very few pubs are open before noon and in most workplaces going out to the pub or a break is grounds to get you fired. Really, with coffeeshops these days being the de-facto office of the creative class, it’s hard to relax in your favourite little coffeeshop. For that, we turn to our neighbourhood local, where hopefully the lines are clean and the keg not empty.
