@mynamesnotgordy That's unpossible, because I was awarded that today at the curling club! This is a scandal, two awards on the same day........

With two first names I get a lot of confusion with my surname and title, but I have to admit this is a new one for me.

@RadioMadison It's probably really hard to make rural Ontario look like NJ/NY city, but it's still fun.

@CraigBaird My great great grandfather was killed in that cyclone. He went to Regina from Qc to visit his brother.

Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx
On June 30, 1912, the deadliest tornado in Canadian history hit Regina, killing 28 people. After the disaster, rescue efforts began. One man involved in helping was Frankenstein's Monster himself...Boris Karloff! At the time, Boris Karloff was part of the Albini-Avolo Company, who were performing at the Regina Theatre at the time. On the afternoon of the storm, they were having a picnic along Wascana Creek when the tornado hit. Wanting to help, the theatre troupe held a benefit performance of the comedy The Real Thing. A week later, they were in Saskatoon performing, and donated half the proceeds from their shows to help the relief effort in Regina. Boris Karloff likely never would have become involved in acting if it wasn't for Canada. Born in England, he moved to Canada in 1909. He worked as a farm labourer and truck driver. He also worked with the B.C. Electric Railway Company, laying track, shoveling coal and surveying land. In 1911, he began appearing in theatre performances in Canada, and took the name Boris Karloff. That same year, he joined the Jeanne Russell Company and toured places like Prince Albert and Kamloops. After a few years in Canada, he moved to California in 1913 and began to cement his legend as a horror icon.

@CraigBaird But when Americans say 10 below, is it below zero, or freezing?

Watching a YouTube video of a guy in the United States stealth camping. He keeps saying “negative” to refer to a freezing temperature rather than minus. How do you say this temperature: “-10”

Is it just me? When I wake up and see these notifications waiting in my phone I feel like I’m about to open an assignment from Spectre.

I have only one kidney. I am making a list of people who live(d) full and happy lives with just the one. Right now, I only have Bob Dole (hate his politics, inspired by how long he lived), that lady from Bad Art Friend, and @DrJenGunter. Would love to hear more examples!
