:-) Go Richard go! Go Jay "Makeout City" McCarthy !

From All You Need Are Kisses At Broadway Station.:

QUOTE

It's tempting to moan about the "mainstream media" broadcasting something that seems like it was supposed to be a surprise, but the idea and the slogan "bringing back first base" and the phrase "makeout artist" are pretty great. I still haven't seen anybody drop a reference to the phrase "all you need are kisses to start a makeout party", but maybe they'll use that for the next prank.

View Article  T is for Toronto - our visit July 2005

Toronto is a great place to visit. Most of my family lives in the Toronto area so we go about once a year and we went this year for a Canada day reunion. The things that I noticed about Toronto:

  • It's big, almost too big. Lots of money. Lots of neighbourhoods like Kerrisdale.
  • I miss the mountains
  • It's much more multicultural than Vancouver. There are lots of Canadians of Chinese and South Asian heritage in Toronto but they don't visually dominate the scene like they do in Vancouver. Toronto is much more diverse: lots of Canadians of Italian, German, various regions in Africa, etc. heritage as well as those of Chinese and South Asian heritage. Not better or worse, just different. Don't get me wrong. I love Vancouver and its mix; it's just more mixed in Toronto.
