Yeah, how many of your flags have the date of the Halifax Resolves on it?

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Snopes says 1939 is the first occurrence of the joke, so pre-radio, but post WWI.

Post-Radio. 1939 is POST RADIO. War of the Worlds scare? Fireside Chats? Hitler running his mouth off?

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Terra Australis Incognita, huzzah.

Well, part of it. Antarctica makes up the rest.

I have never seen a shrimp barbecued in my life.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

Another Canadian here. About three generations back my heritage splits to Scottish/Irish and German, so being a stubborn, grouchy alcoholic is my destiny. Born and raised in Ontario just outside Toronto, hated it, been living out in beautiful Halifax for the last year and a bit. Any other Haligonians here?

Also, our bitchin' flag:
