Back from Canada
 

It's nice to know Canada is a smart enough country to view me as a threat, forcing me to go through secondary questioning in customs upon entering the country. Evidently there are enough cuties in the country and they wanted to make sure I'd be leaving before I caused any serious harm.

Secondly it is nice to know that Canadians cannot cook decent food to save their lives. This is a great way to fight obesity.

Thirdly, it's nice to know that Canada makes the absolute worst tasting smokes in the world. This is a very smart way to get people to quit smoking.

Finally, the show was fun - 12clicks showed me I have much to learn in the way of cutting to the chase and dealmaking. It was a good trip, I did some coverage for AVN who had these great newsletters of daily (printed) show news that was well put together. The semiars were pretty good and the show, while small compared to most, was a great group of quality people.

It's good to be back home!

thats why we have so many hotties here in Canada - we make it difficult for them to leave. Also, that is why we don't really have too many fat women up here, since we make the food as unappealing as possible - ego - super models live here - third, yes - we put as many chemicals in our smokes since those that have the nasty habit we want to have dead rather than us suffering with them on our health care system. Sort of thinning out the herd so to speak - which brings me to one of the few people who know how to thin out a herd fast to get right to the head cow, figure thats how he hired you - but I agree 12clicks certainly knows his stuff

at least the show was fun, glad that went well!

Glad to hear you made it home safely from our terrible neighbor to the North :P


Post the links to the AVN articles if you can, I'd like to see what I missed (other than the customs interrogation) haha.

2 were printed in the daily show newsletters (traffic & CMS seminars)

These 2 writ on Friday were put online

DuMaurier for life! Vive la Canada

I'm so sorry I missed the show, but it was too close to our trip to Cuba. Sounds like you all had a GREAT time. I'm sure it wasn't the same without me...lol :laughout:

It was a good time all around.

I regret not being able to spend a bit more time with you Cyn. Something we shall have to remedy at another show :)
Of course, 12clicks was was supposed to call me, but I guess he felt he'd be betraying Evil Chris' love.

it was good talking to you Chris, and please pass along our love to Dave who tearfully I'm sure opened his home to a scary bunch of perverts who would think nothing of getting into his wine cellar then humping his leather couch

Cyn, where did you eat that the food left a bad taste?

As for the smokes, I'm surprised because I always thought the cigs up here were some of the best anywhere. I used to smoke DuMaurier myself.

Mostly in the hotel. Namely Breakfast. Everything tasted a little bit 'off'.

The smokes, were Canadian versions of American cigs that tasted about 3 weeks stale.

See, now you gotta go kick 12clicks in the nads. I was offering to have lunch on Friday with you 2, at a good restaurant, with good food.

Not that $10 for one egg hotel restaurant :laughout: :laughout:

The hotel breakfast I can't comment on but I'm sure it's an isolated thing. I have been around and can honestly say that Canadian cuisine holds it's own. It's ok.

As for the cigs... well bear in mind that even the US brand smokes are made in Canada by Imperial Tobacco. Kinda like how Budweiser is brewed up north here by Molson (which mades it better than your own) LOL

The $15 Salad
 

Two great food dishes worth going to Canada for:
poutine
smoked meat sandwiches (er, ok, Montreal)

bullshit.
I've never, ever had a good breakfast in canada.

And dinner at Bymark was good, not great.

and you, young man......I called. couldn't get thru. dead air.
figured I'd see you somewhere.

where you shacked up in your room with that cute guy I saw you talking with? ;)

Hold on... I suppose you are a big fan of the breakfast buffet at any given Howard Johnson's?

it's IHOP, get it right

uh, no. what I am NOT a fan of is under cooked sausage that has no taste, over cooked bacon with an odd taste, and canadian bacon swimming in water.
to be fair, the omlette was excellent.

Well, I'm not much for most any breakfast buffets, however the one at the Marriott in Tremblant was pretty good.
They had these make your own waffle machines there too.

Chris I just got the cutest visual of you and a waffle machine~:laughout:

hee hee ... here's a little gift from your neighbors to the north ...

Ohh lala!

Its all good. I was pretty rough for wear on Friday as it was. Besides, Cyn told me to bust your balls (FIGURETIVLY!), every chance I get..

Which one? :laughout: :laughout:
