Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
There's even more to this one: Because Celebrity Jeopardy is played for charity, when this happened, they set his score to a pity $1,000 so that he could play in the Final instead of getting kicked off for being in the red. He bet all $1,000 on Final and got it wrong. The category for that Final Jeopardy? Business.

There's a nifty little browser addon called BlockTube (Chrome | Firefox) that can make you effectively Algorithm-proof by allowing you to block whole channels from ever appearing in your recommended sidebar and search results. I've used it for a few years now and it's REALLY cleaned up my YouTube watching experience on PC at least.

Montréal is rather famously known as the most bilingual city in the world and it's unimaginable for a monolingual anglo to get any trouble there. Half the city speaks english fluently and the half that doesn't isn't exactly the type you'll be meeting if you aren't trying. Maybe if you go to a restaurant you'll meet an old person who only speaks french and chinese or arabic or something but even then, they're not working the front-facing jobs. It's nonsense that any anglos complain given the circumstances. First nations and inuit, yes.

It is a special place, but no shade at Norm Macdonald.

The 1.5% is only native anglos though. It's still not difficult to exist in the city using only english. Just a lot more people obnoxiously rolling their eyes at you and every convenience store will definitely employ someone whose job is to just turn all the french-facing sides of products forwards. Be sure to say poutine instead of poutine and tabarnak d'osti de calisse de baptême intstead of poutain though.

To be quite honest, that's the opposite of my experience in Montreal: the most understanding people were the ones who only spoke French or had limited English, and if you tried to speak a little French they were happy. The fully bilingual Francophones in downtown Montreal were the ones who resenting speaking English and would laugh if your French wasn't up to snuff (or perfect, but of the European dialect, according to my friends from France); everyone else was very chill about it.

Mind you most of the Anglos downtown were assholes too, so it could be that specifically downtown Montreal is just full of a wide array of assholes speaking every language.

My understanding is they fancy themselves snowy manhattan given their obsession with bagels and former importance to the financial industry so this seems likely imo.

The saddest thing is that Ricky Schroeder had more of a post-child-acting career than Kirk Cameron; he was a regular on NYPD Blue for three seasons, had a season on 24, and a number of guest/recurring roles on actual real television shows.

Then he seems to have gotten divorced in 2016 and it has been a pretty rapid downward spiral.

:lol: I remember they were using that season to try and groom him into being the new protagonist of 24 in case Kiefer Sutherland wanted out (and their original plan WAS to do rotating main characters every season initially). But everyone hated him and his character so much they quickly wrote him down to nothing and then Jack cuts his hand off with a fire axe and then he just disappears from the show.

I thought it was James Badge Dale's character that had his hand chopped off at the end of season 3, because it was attached to a bomb or something.

Ricky would probably be fondly remembered if he didn’t decide to be a massive douche lately. Also he helped raise some of the money to get Rittenhouse bailed out.

He was in a 1980 tv version of Little Lord Fauntleroy with Alec Guinness, Patrick Stewart, and Connie Booth. My mom likes to watch it at Christmas. Shame that he grew up to be an rear end in a top hat.

That's one of the reasons they do it.

Ricky knows this guy can't fight back. He knows that if he got his face punched in like he deserves that he could bury him in legal debt and ruin his life. He knows this and loves it because he can abuse people without repercussion.

costco absolutely does not have its employees backs and will fire you for becoming inconvenient like every other business. costco pays above market-rate wages because 20% of their stores are unionized from a meger deal in the 90s and they give the union contract to all stores (minus pension plan) as a way to prevent the union from growing larger and having the leverage to negotiate better conditions. That Costco has managed to convince the public that this is done out of the goodness of their heart is an absolute incredible PR coup.

also maybe the one that used a subway ham sandwich to take about his daughter's virginity VS """"those"""" other girls. (this is probably Walsh)


Also given how Chowder loves playing dress up there's probably something there.
