Gypsy Mermaid in Winnipeg
« on: November 19, 2010, 08:12:15 pm »
Hey Smells, you should go see my friend Michelle, she's in your town.  She wrote that she is " parked at 'the Line up', across from Mondragon in a funky part of downtown."  I'm assuming you'll know what that means.  Go meet her, she's really fun.  Don't worry, you'll know her when you see her.  Tell her I sent you.

She also wrote that it's 20 below.  Fuck that shit!

It makes me sad that Winnipeg no longer has the Jets.

I missed the mermaid lady, although six months ago I worked in an office that directly overlooked the spot she was at.  I had to deal with rescuing a coworker from a weather related situation.  The roads were shit.  It took me an hour to get her and I somewhere that would normally take 20 mins, then another hour to get back to the place I needed to be.  Is she still around, or has she moved on?

Nabu, the Jets were fun in their day, but pretty pitiful at the end.  It's especially sad for the kids that they're gone.  The kids in the middle of the Manitoba winter need their standard hockey-based Canadian dreams, and it's harder to dream those dreams without an NHL franchise around.

Let me check. 

She's still in Winnipeg, but apparently she's found somebody to take her in for the night because it's too damn cold in her van.  She did write "Digging Winnipeg.... suggestions on what to see and share with the world?"  Perhaps you could help her with that.

All I would know to tell her is try the Slurpee.

If my in law's weren't in town this weekend, I could give her a nice tour of the city.  There isn't a lot going on right now - things typically get pretty quite scene-wise in November - December so suggestions are a tad hard. 

If she wants to go somewhere fun for breakfast I suggest http://www.falafelplace.ca/ The guy who runs the place is like a more pleasant version of the soup Nazi, and just to the east of the place is Corydon Village aka Winnipeg's little Italy, and the famous Confusion Corner, which everyone who visits the city should drive through, and connects Corydon to the hipster area of Osborne Village (great shopping).

I like this topic, Paul.

When I went to see the Trailer Park Boys last month, I saw a guy with an old Winnipeg Jets jersey on. It was sweet.

I remember the Winnipeg Jets, they used to play the Houston Aeros back in the day.  Winnipeg went on to join the NHL and the Aeros folded.

The wife often says that we're moving to Winnipeg in the case of President Palin, but we've never been.

I wonder how bad it would actually have to be before people started leaving the country in droves?  George Bush didn't send anyone for the exits.  Would Sarah Palin?

I thought Michael Douglas cited the 2004 election as the reason for moving to England.

I think the difference between GWB and Palin is the idea that...

At least it was obvious that his fucked-up handlers had a cogent and reasoned plan that they were enacting through him.

A plan that really had nothing to do with anything other than making the rich richer but at least it wasn't crazy. There was rationale. There was messed-up reason but there was reason.

Palin's a fuck*ng washed-up beauty queen who comes from a church one-step-off from fuck*ng snake handling who definitely wants to see the Rapture before her boobs droop more.

It is a whole different kind of terrifying.

But she's hot, I'd hit that.  Isn't that why they said people voted for Bush because he was a regular guy, someone you could hang out with.  They will vote for Palin because she's a MILF.

Yeah, if you don't mind rolling over in bed and seeing crazy eyes and a claw clutched around a nail-file.
