Subject: BS: List not to be on From: Ed T Date: 08 Nov 12 - 04:48 PM Among all of countries to choose from - I wonder how Canada topped this fashon list? Maybe she went fishing,hiking or got caught up in a winter storm in Edmonton? List of unattractive peoples -Only in Fance you say? |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: YorkshireYankee Date: 08 Nov 12 - 04:53 PM I dunno - think I might take a perverse kind of pleasure in being on such a list... ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Ed T Date: 08 Nov 12 - 05:10 PM I agree YY. I live with with a summer "Birkenstock tradition", which likely rate rate me very high on the Paris fashon scene. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: gnu Date: 08 Nov 12 - 05:17 PM Parisian fashion is to do with fashion. Not with physical beauty or intellectual beauty or personality or attitude or anything else that matters. I would offer that Maquillage et Motocyclette is truly ugly. And, I would also say... Vimy Ridge and Juno Beach on your ass you fuckers. There's Canuck fashion for ya. Yer welcome. And don't push yer luck ya arrogant bunch a no-mind fuckers. Besides, how can one be fashionable when one is freezing cold and ass deep in snow? Oh... yeah... if yer good-lookin, it don't matter what ya got on or not. I'd say Canucks are far "better lookin" than the idiots that are trying to sell their rag. In every sense of the word. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: MarkS Date: 08 Nov 12 - 05:30 PM Sure With all those cold winters you need the long hair and the bushy beards to stay warm. And the guys look even worse! Mark (Who does not plan on going north any time soon) |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Ed T Date: 08 Nov 12 - 07:18 PM Is this your vision of a typical "Mad Dog" Canadian, MarkS? Mad dog Canadian |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 08 Nov 12 - 07:22 PM I visited Canada last year, and everybody looked fine. Actually, I was probably the ugliest person around, but everybody was still nice to me. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: meself Date: 08 Nov 12 - 07:25 PM People: this is from a smarmy CBC radio comedy show - not to be taken seriously by those sophisticated enough to be in on the joke - nothing to see here - move along, move along - |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: LadyJean Date: 09 Nov 12 - 01:14 AM My friend Liam has 3 ex wives. Wives number 2 and 3 were Canadian. Number 2 is drop dead gorgeous. Number 3 isn't bad looking. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Ed T Date: 09 Nov 12 - 07:50 AM Montreal (and Quebec overall) sure has fine looking women, who dress very well (excluding the strip joints, where fashon is not a factor :). Moncton NB, (gnu territory) also has a high share of fine looking women (z). It must be the French factor? When I was young I lived in a tourist area (PEI) where, in peak periods, the tourists often outnumbered the locals 3 to 1. On a tourist beach, a fellow once said to me "wow, you sure have fine looking women here". I agreed, not saying that most of them were tourists from elsewhere. When I was a younger, outdoor wear was designed for the purpose, not for looks. That has surely changed, now even the snowmobile gear has a "fashon statement". But, it's hard to make hunting gear, fishing gear (hip waders) and bug coats look much better. But, that's a "rural thing" that most countries share. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Pete Jennings Date: 09 Nov 12 - 11:03 AM Don't listen to anything the French say, ever. They've all got a collective chip on their shoulders. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: GUEST,999 Date: 09 Nov 12 - 11:51 AM I think Monique is French and if her posts are anything to go by she is a delightful gal, imo. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Charmion Date: 09 Nov 12 - 01:18 PM The streets of Ottawa are full of beautiful young women clad in sheepskin boots, puffa jackets and fur hats in the style made famous by the Mad Bomber. They are just adorable. The men of the same age -- not so much; they tend to favour toques (knitted bobble hats) that come free with a brake job at Canadian Tire and team jackets that tell you what position they play. In seriously cold weather, like minus 20 Celsius, the toque is replaced by the male version of the Mad Bomber hat: it's grubby and going a bit bald. I love Ottawa in the extreme seasons. In summer, when the temperature soars above 33 Celsius with sky-high humidity to match, people wear as little as you can get away with, and anything goes so long as the naughty bits are covered. This is how you find out how many people with ill-considered tattoos are prepared to reveal them to the entire ridership of the number 7 bus to St-Laurent. In winter, when the wrong kind of exposure will cost you your ears, fingertips and toes, just leaving home with one less layer than you really need leads directly to prolonged misery. People wear whatever works, and I don't mean with the fashion. You know it's cold when you see the Director-General of Communications cutting through the parking lot in a parka down to the knees, nylon mukluks up to the knees, a scarf wrapped around his face, and the de luxe version of the Mad Bomber hat -- beaver fur! -- perched on top of the entire ensemble. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is style. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: GUEST,999 Date: 09 Nov 12 - 02:19 PM Conserve, GfS, use both sides. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 09 Nov 12 - 02:29 PM 999: "Conserve, GfS, use both sides." Hmmm....is that both sides of an issue..or tissue? GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Charmion Date: 09 Nov 12 - 02:48 PM It's not a list unless it includes more than one, um, item. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Charmion Date: 09 Nov 12 - 03:21 PM Personally, I prefer to get my kicks from champagne. Your mileage may vary. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: ChanteyLass Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:45 PM Beauty is as beauty does. I think Canadians are among the nicest, and therefore most beautiful, people in the world. |

Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Rapparee Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:45 PM This thread is totally incorrect. The title ends with a preposition!!!!!! To be correct it should be entitled "List upon which not to be." Pedants of the World, Unite!! You have nothing to lose but your brains!!! (I get no kick from champagne....) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: GUEST,999 Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:51 PM Correct, Rap. A preposition is a word one should never end a sentence with. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: List not to be on From: Rapparee Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:53 PM Yes. To quote my late dear friend, Winnie the Churchill, "That's the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put." |
