Tomorrow is the National Day of Honour in Canada, to commemorate the sacrifices made during our military mission in Afghanistan.

There will be a national moment of silence at 2:30 pm (Atlantic Standard Time).
Any time is a good time for pie.

Very cool. When I was over there I was on a FOB originally established by Canadian troops.

If I owned a Tim Horton's franchise, on US soil, I'd give a free coffee & donut to every serving member of the US military tomorrow, who is in uniform or shows a valid military ID.

My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

That would make it 1:30 EST in my corner of 'Merica. I'll be at work but I will try to honor it as well if at all possible.

I'm glad that whole experience is winding down.  Canadians did some amazing work!

that scrappy little brother.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

and just to stir the pot further...

Canadian infantry would kick Ozzie infantry in the nuts.   :P

That's fighting talk! :buck2: :o I can think of a few Koala's who might have a different view, and would gently (or maybe not so gently ;)) lean on your tender bits for the suggestion. Being English, I'm not in that fight, they're both equally good as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I rate the Canadians, the Aussies, and the Kiwis, all as good soldiers. So why have you a downer on the Aussies Star? Is it about some woman? We want the truth now.... ;D
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
