What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

We had an interesting quote from the brother of the mayor a few weeks ago: “I’ve got more libraries in my area than I have Tim Hortons.”
Councillor Doug Ford (Ward 2, Etobicoke North), speaking on CFRB 1010 on July 14, 2011.
( Actually, the story said, Etobicoke has 13 library branches and 39 Tim Hortons, )

"Tim Hortons bills itself—successfully—as a Canadian institution. It looks to me more like they’ve killed one";

He should go to Oromocto - there are more Tim Horton's within a 3KM radius than there are books in the public library...I guess there is balance in the world.

I went to my favorite Starbucks last night. The "Scenery" was far better than most I've seen at Tims or McD's.

In fact....it was so good one of our esteemed colleagues would have stayed.....

I hope you're not talking about me, otherwise people are going to start wondering which side you play for.  :nod:

I'm all for Starbucks...or any place that has an espresso machine and can therefore make a latte.  Extra shot of espresso please! (read: I likely coffee strong!)

I only go to Starbucks for their Pumpkin Spice Latte in October-November.

I was just at a Starbucks and it's already out.  :nod:

Go ahead, call me "girly", I can take it.  ;D

If memory serves correctly, there's a few just on Restigouche Road alone.
 
One at the mall, on at the TCH and one on Rustiguts, there might be more since I left,

[serious moment]Actually, the public library here is rather well-stocked with books.  And not just picture books either.  Real books.  With real words! [/serious moment]
Mall, by the TCH, Restigouche and one at the Canex.  Oromocto: four Os, four traffic circles and four Tim Hortons.  But only three sets of traffic lights:
Main Gate
Waasis and Broad Road
Waasis and Restigouche

When was the one in the CANEX built? I don't remember one being there when I was in Gagetown in '05, I remember there being the CANEX, Griffon's and a barber shop, that's it.

The one at the Canex opened just his year.  We are up to 4 in Oromocto.  I think they need a head office now.

The real question is do any of those "Real books.  With real words" ever get checked out and used - Seems like a waste of perfectly good reading material to me!  ;)

Still out of season. It should only be drank when the leaves start turning for the full autumn effect.

Well, I didn't get one.  Yet.......    ;)

I've already caved and bought one. I figure if it's past Labour day, it's fair game to get one. Btw, the Salted Caramel Mocha is pretty darn good too, but I have a real soft spot for caramel. You could seriously put caramel on a piece of tree bark and I'd eat every bite.
