|
 |
Sometimes Humour can be a good way to describe where you are from and what daily life can be like. In terms of humour what is it like where you live?
My friend and I found this really funny. I have seen chickens on the public busses.
You know you're in Vancouver when...
You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.
Your co-worker has 8 body piercings and none of them are visible.
You make over $400,000 a year and still can't afford a decent house.
You take a bus and are shocked at 2 people carrying on a conversation in English.
Your child's 3rd grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, & is named Breeze.
You've been to more than one baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.
You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown and can taste the difference between Sumatra and Ethiopian.
You also know which Yaletown restaurant serves the freshest arugula.
A really great parking space can move you to tears.
A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps; You don't even notice.
A woman gets on the bus with live poultry; You don't even notice.
The guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney.
Your car insurance costs more than your house payment.
The gym is packed at 3:00pm ... on a work day.
Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into BDSM, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.
You pass an elementary school and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers while waiting for their personal rides home.
You're sure you're the only one on the road with a REAL driver's license!!!!!
The weather forecast calls for possible sunny periods, some cloudy periods, and a probability of rain showers... AND EVERY DAY IT'S THE SAME!
The more expensive the car, the worse the driver.
You think anyone who drives a car to work is decadent.
You keep a list of companies to boycott.
You would never dream of crossing a picket line. (yea right)
You realize that there are far more rainbow flags in the city than Canadian flags.
Old friends you haven't talked to in years suddenly call. "Do you have a spare bedroom for a weekend?"
Your cat is lacto-intolerant, your dog’s vegetarian and your parakeet’s suffering past past-life trauma.
You prepare quite differently for a day at the beach, based on if it’s Ambleside or Wreak.
You know what a binner is.
You can tell the difference between wild and farmed salmon and expound philosophically about both
You know what these acronyms mean: PNE, VPL, GVRD, YVR
You give a "thumbs up" gesture to a car with a FREE TIBET bumper sticker and you mean it.
If you hear someone is doing The Grind, you know they are not at work.
You know that West Vancouver, the West end, and the Westside are all different places.
You curse those damn tourists - but always stop to help anyone who is looking puzzled at a city map.
You haven't been to a BC Lions game since the first month you moved to Vancouver.
You are thinking about taking an adult education course, but you can't decide between a Yoga, Channeling, Building your Web Site class or perhaps Real Estate.
Your new neighbours go to temple, but you are still not sure if they're Jewish, Buddist or Judeo-Taoists.
You how to pronounce Coquihalla
The woman who delivers your mail is into BDSM, and your next door neighbour grows weed
Can tell the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Thai food.
Feel guilty throwing aluminum cans or paper in the trash.
If there's a day of snowfall, however, you consider not going to school/work
Can name 10 starbucks locations in less than a minute.
You can't remember... is pot illegal?

The CFL is harder than the NFL. Only 3 downs. More passing, less running. Bigger plays |

One of these guys was so gross. He has herpies. and he fucked all these really young girls. Then he had them start stealing shit for him. He says he left lions because of his knew but really he was brough up on charges of pimping and a bunch of other shit. He is in the states now. |
Thats fucked up. What was his name (or jersey number and year he played?)?
@werder
You europeans (german right?)  Football is alot tougher than rugby. Dont get me wrong, rugby is badass.
But, WOMEN play rugby aswell. There's no female football league (atleast im not aware of any) |

i wasnt really talking about the sport itself but the guys who plays them. prof. rugby players are way tougher than am. football players. they even go back on the field if they have an open head wound. they just put a band-aid on it and keep playing, where am. football players start crying and go on the injure list if they bump a toe...
