There's another craze sweeping the globe whereby people do 22 push ups in so many days to support someone or other.
So, let's do this!!!
Except, of course, we can't do push ups without verification...and I don't care about supporting some charity.
So, we'll do 22 FACTS about ourselves and then NOMINATE the next person. Remember, no porkies!!
I will, of course, get the ball rolling!
1. I was born in England. Peterborough to be exact.
2. I spent 6 weeks on a ship, sailing between the UK and Oz in 1959. I've never set foot on a ship since and never will.
3. I love single malt whiskey.
4. I love motor racing.
5. I hate political ideology and parties.
6. I flunked high school and left just after turning 16.
7. I wished I'd stayed in England, as great as Australia is.
8. I like travelling.
9. I like photography.
10. I am a fantastic video gamer.
11. I use Apple Mac.
12. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes.
13. I hate cats.
14. I'm an animal lover. Except for cats.
15. I'm studying pottery.
16. I come from a line of musicians...and can't play a single note.

22. I used to be a gym instructor.
And I nominate YEAH RIGHT to tell us 22 things about himself!!!
A very interesting thread Oberon.
:smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:
It is something being done to raise awareness of veteran suicide. Many say there are 22 per day but that is not true. Never the less it is a problem and they are just bringing attention to it this way.

Like I give a fuck about Oberons rules. Look up the Geneva Convention if ya wanna adjudicate ya negro rooting fucken ting tong.
Quote from: "GORDY GAMBINO"
We should all care about Oberon's rules.
It never ceases to amaze me that a person apparently above the age of 50 thinks that it is clever, funny, smart or witty to behave like a delinquent dickhead.
Sure, when we're young and silly we can be excused for acting like a total fucking nutjob. But when you get to a certain age, and you still believe buffoonery is a good way to attract attention and make people laugh, it is surely evidence that mental and emotional maturation was stilted and malformed.
Gordy personifies those with a desperate need to be noticed, even to the extent of humiliating and embarrassing themselves.
I'd bet good money that if you were at a party, and told Gordy to crap in his pants for a laugh, he'd be squatting and grunting in a heartbeat, and then walking around standing close to the ladies to impress them with his fetid stench. Of course, he need not crap his pants to do that, but it would add to the effect.
Gambino, you're a repugnant malignancy on the arse of humanity, and the sooner that asbestosis takes effect, the better we will all be.
He will suppress you worse than Mao See Tung you rule obeying, standing on crop, fly swatter.
Now keep ya legs open but have 1 kid.
Not easy for you.
Big leap forward more like Big slut in Van.

Okay, How about Herman and Shen Li?
1. I am a Saskatchewan born Canandian.
2. My ancestors escaped Holodomor through present day Hungary..
3. Both my parents can speak Ukrainian, but my knowledge of the language is rudimentary.
4. I am a classic sitcom junkie.
5. Like most kids growing up in Saskatchewan, I was hockey nuts. I have not been on skates in two decades, but I play road hockey with my son and his friends from time to time.
6. My son is 25 and he has a job with the feds. He has an undergrad degree and lives with his girlfriend in Regina.
7. I love hard physical labor on my farm. Farming is my passion and owning my own farm is a dream come true.
8. I work as a well site consultant. I have held every job on drilling and service rigs. I am trying to only work winters now. Spend the rest of the year on my farm.
9. I have worked and lived on every continent except Antarctica. I have spent the most time in the ME which has given me an understanding of Islam that few prairie boys have.
10. I have had guns pointed at me in several countries.
11. I live in a ranch style house with a full basement.
12. My main source of exercise in winter when I am living in a well site trailer is lifting weights which I keep in the trailer as they follow me from lease to lease.
13. I have been married twice. I met my second wife while working on a drilling platform in Indonesia.
14. My current wife is a well site geologist. We met in Indonesia, but she is not Indonesian. She is Asian though.
15. I am six foot one and weigh 225 lbs. After a long hard summer on the farm, I am the leanest I have been in a couple of years.
16. My favorite drinks are green tea(the old lady got me hooked on it), carbonated water with lemon and cold Kokanee Gold in bottles
17. My favorite food is barbequed wild game. Moose, venison and elk on the que with some mushrooms and a few ice cold beers in bottles. Bloody heaven.
18. I do think a lot about my excessive drinking. I don't drink to get drunk(that often) anymore. But, on the farm, in the summer, I get up at six am and three hours later I have my first beer. I usually drink one per hour before stopping around seven pm. I will have a few shots of barrel wash before bed.
19. I like to fight, but not as much as when I was in my twenties and thirties.
20. I have a criminal record and did short stints in jail. I was shitting bricks one time that I would be doing penn time after I beat a guy up so bad he was left unable to walk.
21. I used to post on an Asian American forum that no longer exists. I also post on mapleleafweb. I read free republic often, but never registered.
22. I drive a Sliverado, but what straight guy in Saskatchewan doesn't.
I nominate the Iron Chink.

There has been occasional chatter in Winnipeg for the past 45 years about renaming the school after Burton Cummings. But, he was a mischievous teenager and dropped out of high school. That's not the kind of message school boards want to send to youth. Overall, I would say he did pretty well for himself despite his lack of education.
Now who is left to nag....

Quote from: "Herman"
When was this? What exactly happened?
It was in 2007. CP hired a conductor, born overseas, but he had been in Canada for nearly ten years. He flew through his classroom and OJT parts of the training program.
He started as a brakeman and right away raised suspicion with the conductor and hoghead. He was very interested in when and what dangerous goods are being hauled. Asked questions like if it was possible to throw automatic switches without the RTC knowing about it. He took lots of pictures too. A joint CP police and RCMP investigation uncovered he had ties to Islamists. He was removed from service immediately.

I don't think charges were laid other than taking unauthorized pictures which is a dismissible offense.
They knew the employee that was removed from service had ties to a radicalized cell in Ontario. They also know he was up to something. They could not uncover a plot, but at least CSIS is aware of him now.

12. I realized I had to change when I awoke from a coma after being beaten half to death in a seedy North downtown bar.
13. My missus is a nurse and I credit her endless patience with helping me defeat my liquor addiction.
14. We are both Christians. She shared her testimony with me which lead me to Christ.
15. We have been to Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, but the Caribbean and Central America are our favourite holiday destination.
16. The Forks area where the two rivers meet is where we love to go to on our bikes in the summer. Great coffee, good food and one of the better people watching places in the city.
17. I have a brother and a sister.
18. I am also a licensed private investigator, but I have never had a paying job with that.
19. We can both speak Spanish.
20. Our only pet is a cat.
21. I know of at least one Islamic plot at CP through inside employees to blow up a dangerous goods train in Toronto. CP police and the RCMP stopped it after being tipped off by a suspicious conductor and an engineer.
22. I am a traditional socialist. I can't stomach progressives.
I nominate fellow Pegger Thiel and deadskinmask.
Good list jockey. I will make do one myself now.
Are we still on for Starbucks on Friday?
We sure are. I will see you at ten.
The lists keep getting better. Great stuff Thiel, dsm and RW. :thumbup:
Thank you RW, Thiel and dsm..
I enjoyed reading your lists very much.

Ethics Commissioner to question Trudeau on cash-for-access fundraisers
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ethics-commissioner-to-question-trudeau-on-cash-for-access-fundraisers/article33329767/
Believe it, Hermane.
These were not fundraisers; they were PRIVATE affairs. He did not stand at any dais. He mingled, just like the rest of us.

He earned $277 k in first term as an MP alone in speaking fees, including from a school board. I don't believe True Dope understands the word charity.
True Dope accepted 20 grand from a senior's org ffs. I think he was goaded into paying it back, but he's still a greedy fuck.

And that's OK?
Fuck, you Canadians are soft.

Yes, and he would most certainly not be the only one, now, would he?
RW is right. Politicians are actually part of the human species, too. They're open to same frailties as the rest of us are. We hold them to higher standards because they get to play with our money (and our emotions, obviously) but whose business is it, really, what their private life is all about? Nobody's. Their own.

The Suffering was great for its age.... the creature designs were cool but it wasn't very intense....
Manhunt is probably one of my favorites as far as tension-building....
Yeah, I'm not a fan of "serial killer" survival horror. I prefer my horror a bit more out there, a bit less realistic.
Crap, I forgot to nominate someone for their 22 Push ups.
I nominate Rambo Wong.
You're supposed to nominate two people.

the new Resident Evil is supposed to be 'all that and more'.... are you eager to play it? i'm actually considering buying a PS4 just for it....
Nah, I gave up on Resident Evil when it morphed into a clone of Call of Duty.
I like my horror to be creepy and atmospheric. No fan of run 'n' gun am I.
I also nominate Caskur for 22 Push ups.

Thank you Mel, very nice..
Anyone who hasn't posted their 22 yet, you'd like to nominate?
Fun thread.
Skinz, 10 and 11 contradict each other. Kind of contradict 22 as well. Just sayin. I find it funny that I relate so well to you, but we have virtually nothing in common. Except losing something to fire for silly reasons and liking hats.
I wish I'd kept a copy of my Harry Canary poem. I remember being particularly proud of it.
Where would it have gone?
Do your 22 reel!
I don't remember. I think it might just have been a pm.
Ok, I will.
Quote from: "reel"
Ok, I will.
I lost my Oscar poem about Urbanites. :( That one was awesome.
1. I grew up wanting to be a writer, but changed my mind in high school and became an engineer. Probably because it was safe. I also probably regret that, but refuse to admit it to myself.
2. I was born in Richmond and grew up there. I've lived in the Vancouver area my whole life except for a brief stint in Ulsan, Korea and two years in rural France.
3. I'm vice president of a mid sized engineering firm and managing director of an electrical integration company. I'm planning to retire within 12 years, before I hit 50, but have some work to do before then.
4. I'm two weeks older than RW.
5. I used to play a lot of sports; soccer, volleyball, field hockey, skiing, running, long jump... but tore my ACL playing soccer, had it misdiagnosed for 12 years, and have wound up with permanent problems with it that have pretty much kept me out of any sports.
6. I love gardening and am a budding permaculturalist. I'm getting kind of preachy about the permaculture thing.
7. I travel a lot, but don't really like it. When I filled out my application for a Nexus card and had to answer the countries I'd been to in the past five years, I gave up at 31. I don't think I got them all.
8. I make hats.
9. I'm happily married and have two kids. They are the most important thing in my life.
10. I learned to play the piano, saxophone, and guitar, but didn't keep up with any of them long term.
11. I stole a highlighter from a kid in my 4th grade class and then lied about it. He was a little kid that got bullied a lot. I still feel guilty about it and haven't stolen anything since, though I've lied a few times. I apologised to him when I saw him 20 years later. He still remembered it.
12. When I was in highschool, I designed and built a potato gun for a group of friends. When I was testing the igniter, glue fumes that had collected in the chamber ignited and blasted me in the face, singing my nose, eyelashes and eyebrows. No permanent aesthetic damage, but I now have a very limited sense of smell.
13. I'm a vegetarian and a lazy environmentalist.
14. I nearly drowned kayak surfing in Tofino. I panicked when everything started going grey around the edges, gave one last good thrash, and freed myself. I'd inhaled a lot of seawater. I learned absolutely nothing from the experience.
15. I had a test marriage when I was young and stupid. It lasted a year. I learned a lot from that.
16. One time, a friend, my brother and I decided to have a rousing game of fire tennis when we were home on a snow day. It ended with most of our yard in flames. Have you ever seen snow burn? I have.
17. I'm relatively apolitical and generally avoid political discourse other than to make smart ass remarks. Most people assume I'm a left leaning progressive, I suppose due to the environmentalist tendencies, but I've never really been sure why.
18. I have a 1972 MG Midget in my garage waiting for me to get it running again.
19. I grew up Anglican and have an uncle who was a bishop, but decided religion wasn't of interest to me at around 9 or 10 years old. I had another three years of Sunday church services to contend with, which taught me a lot of patience.
20. I always regarded myself as thoughtful, empathetic, and friendly, but when I finally did a personality evaluation, it told me I'm an authoritative, compassionless, decision maker. It then occurred to me that I rarely remember people's names the first few times we've met, I've never called anyone on their birthday unless prompted to do so, and though I weigh decisions carefully, woe to anyone who questions me after I've made up my mind. I remain undecided as to who I am.
21. I like rain.
22. I'm eternally curious.
Very nice reel.
:smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:
1972 MG Midget = retirement project!
I want to add a #23 for myself:
23. In a thrift shop, I once found an intact slipcase booklet of Canada Post First Issue stamps celebrating Canada's seafaring vessels, got in touch with Reel, who gave me his address, so that I could send it to him.
He's been admiring them ever since. :thumbup:

Indeed. The booklet sits on my desk with the Blurt note tucked into the back cover.
Did you notice that it also came with a booklet of Canadian "Flying boats" in the back? That should have gone to Oscar.
That's wonderful Blurt and reel.

The religion of spoiled people in the West.

Yep, the thought had crossed my mind. But Oscar has never replied to any of my PMs (I think I sent him two or three over the years) so I nixed the idea.
Quote from: "Herman"
Of all the things to be a petulant cynic about, growing food from perennial plants seems like an odd one.
To be honest, I can't make much sense of your comment since it's not a religion, it's not terribly common here (much more common in central/eastern US, central and south America and Australia) and it involves a fair bit of sacrifice and hard work - thus not terribly appealing to spoiled people.
Were you trying to infer that I'm spoiled and this was the best you could muster or is this some sort of professional insecurity because you're a farmer?

not really.... its just like 'clothing'.... i find clothing to be uncomfortable and restrictive.... but its a necessary part of being civilized and living in a society.... same as ppl. they are a necessary inconvenience.... and just like clothing, i have 'favorite ppl' as well.... i worry about them, care for them and enjoy them.... its not a contradiction.... just a matter of perception....

In the 1930s one American farmer produced enough agricultural product to feed a total of four people; a family farm was literally meant to feed a family. Fast forward 40 years, and that number rises from four people to 73. Fast forward through 80 years of agricultural and bioscience innovation, and in the 2010s, one farmer produces enough food to feed 155 people.
Your fave type of ag is a hobby at best in a world with 7.5 billion people and growing.
You prairie folk are fucking weird.
Quote from: "RW"
Pragmatic is the word, PRAGMATIC!!
Of course it is a hobby my dear Shen. A pragmatic one given that it costs very little and yields tasty nuts and berries.
I didn't say I was a farmer or claim that permaculture was a form of agriculture. But in my opinion, it beats paving over the lawn with synthetic turf.
I was busting your balls reel. I'm only a hobby farmer myself. But I am trying my best to get it to pay the bills.

No worries. Sorry for getting excited. I hope to be a hobby farmer doing my best to get it to pay the bills one day. I'm just doing what I can with a suburban lot now.
I really do believe in the idea of mutually supporting plant guilds and layering to improve productivity, but recognize it's not terribly practical if the goal is to harvest for cash. I like the idea of wandering about a food forest to pick what's ripe and eat it.

That's more than what I have reel. I live in a condo, but a nearby community garden interests my girlfriend and I.
I did a very brief Google search, but it seems like permaculture would be more efficient with higher yields and therefore profitable per acre, at least in the developing world. Intensive rotational grazing is one example of that.

you are right! the downside of permaculture is harvest labour cost. it's a polyculture, so it has high yields, but things mature at different rates and can't be mechanically harvested like in a monoculture, thus higher labour rates in harvest and at market. However, it requires virtually no inputs, so low material costs. Thus, it is well suited to the developing world where labour is cheap, but material inputs are unaffordable. it is also well suited to subsistence farming where a staggered maturation is a big advantage.
not competitive with North American factory farming though in labour or product standardization. most likely better in quality though.
Good morning reel.

Most of this is way over my urban, condo dwelling urban head. I will look it up some time.
I am very interested in agricultural innovations though in a world where food demand will double in the next three to four decades.
