He lives above Montana, in Moose Jaw. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Moose Jaw. The perfect name for a mid-western Canadian city. Is it near Medicine Hat? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I was at a hockey game in Buffalo years ago and there was a Canadian near us, kind of guy who was friendly but loud. He ended every sentence with "eh." It was just funny as could be. Canadians can complain about the stereotype, but if he was around they would say "never mind." The President is a fink. |

I saw a show about this on TV. The Indians were smart herding Buffalo off a cliff for easy harvesting Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

My college roommate bought a ranch about 30 miles from there. There was another town called "Stand Off" that was about the same distance away. |

It's the same as saying 'like' or 'ya know' a lot. I, like, ran into my, ya know, friend. He said, like, he was, ya know, upset that his wife, ya know, left him because he's, like, ya know, a moron. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I always associated too much of "like" with teenage girls. In Catholic School the teachers really made an effort to pound that habit out of people. "IT'S NOT *LIKE* 'x' IT *IS* 'x.'" Today in public school a teacher correcting a student like that would probably get fired. The President is a fink. |
