I'm a holdout. I like cars that I need to use both feet for.

I think you're looking for the Decline of the Car thread...

Yes, that is where this link should have gone.

The best one was when they were talking to the Korean family to see who had the most jobs.

I was going through old files trying to find this as I thought I did a photoshop variant of it but couldn't find it. I did find this portrait of Harper intended for editorial use that never saw the light of day though. Might as well share it. It's called Action Plan (in reference to the non existent Climate plan of the day).

Edit: This was a giant picket board I used to protest Harper at one of his leadership Conventions in Calgary. I think I also wore a Pinocchio nose as the Mike Duffy Affair was still unfolding.

I will never tire of seeing Clockzilla's battles, and those of his henchmen. so much ugliness in one shot. All that is missing is BM, Ches' (and their barf-covered fries), PPP, and Chad Kroeger. And a few of those fugly Tempos (snow sheds on driveways) and those inflatable stick men.

Based on our current political climate and lack of decent leaders I would actually vote for Clockzilla and its henchmen if they were on the ballot. Maybe Eddy Savoie can make a run in politics? More Residences Soleil compounds could help the housing crisis...

Bowl of Anuses could also be added to that pic.

Another example of "why are there no windows on the second floor?". This time in Mliton. I'm not understanding the purpose of designing a house like this. You have the top floor windows on the side and back. What's the point of not just being a normal house and having them in the front too? Why have 2/3 of the front of the house be roof?

I want to know what the floor plan looks like up there. Even if there aren't bedrooms on the front side, I'm sure people would appreciate natural light coming in to the hallway and stairs.

All I can see is a KFC bucket sign from my home every single day that I see the Calgary Tower, thanks to that epic battle. That image lives rent free in my head for life.

Don't mind lio in the foreground. He visited Calgary to inspect the large inventory of local shacks during his sabbatical.

This gives me an idea for a new Thing to go with John Baird. Unfortunately I don't know if it would be crossing a line.

Is Vaughn the Laval of Ontario, or is Laval the Vaughn of Quebec?

Insulted? Ches’ is a classic! Even more than the Rooms!

I always thought of Mississauga as the Laval of Ontario or Laval as the Mississauga of Quebec.

Where does Milton fit into this hierarchy. As well, are there any comparisons in Quebec of the ugliness of the Oshawa/Whitby/Ajax/Pickering conurbation?
