i just saw gates mcfadden in a commercial for microsoft. it's official, the gates between good and evil have broken down...

the enemy's gate(s) is down... there's no more barrier between good and evil... could OSC have known?!?

sorry, i could go on all day with the bad puns but i couldn't keep it in any longer...

B boy, welcome to the forum. Do you happen to know any of our other Torontoites? Torontians? Torontlings? Torontese?

What do you call a person from Toronto, anyway?

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Canadian.

Posted by Sean (Member # 689) on :

I'd go with Torontonian, but first I'd try to rephrase the sentence so it wasn't necessary.

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

Torontonian. And Canuck. Or popsicle. [Big Grin]

Torontan [Smile]

Toronglodyte?

[Smile]

That one has my vote.

Posted by b boy (Member # 9587) on :

thanks for the welcome [Hat]

i'm pretty sure it's torontonians. but that sounds a little too much like some form of foot fetish scene for me. haha i like toronglodyte much better!

i used to know another <insert toronto resident name here> hatracker..someone i used to date was actively on here but don't know if they're still around. i finally got around to reading the books and thought i'd come by to check out the site. interestingly, a guy in the bookstore scoffed at me and told me that Ender's Game was something you to sink your teeth into when you were 12. i put the book back on the shelf... and grabbed the 3 book box set.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Sure! What was the screenname of the person you used to date, do you know (and of course, if you aren't comfortable saying, that's completely fine)?

Was this guy a fellow customer, or an employee? Either way, what a jackass!

Posted by b boy (Member # 9587) on :

haha i just did some cursory investigating and it appears they're still around so i prolly shouldn't say [Wink]

the bookstore guy? a fellow customer... i should've inspected the books he was holding and given him my critical analysis... all in Heinlein's Lunar dialect. and a smattering of newspeak.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Ah, okay; probably wise.
