Quebec Joke

From speaking with people from around the world over the years, there is one constant: we like to make fun of ourselves with jokes. In Canada, there are Newfie jokes and apparently, in Germany there is an equivalent type of joke. Here is one about life in Quebec:

Vivre au Québec

Si tu as déjà porté un manteau d'hiver et des shorts en même temps, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu mesures la distance en heures, Tu vis au Québec! Si dans ta voiture tu as déjà passé du chauffage, à A/C , et revenu au chauffage dans la même journée, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu es capable de conduire à 80 km/h dans 2 pieds de neige dans une tempête de neige sans broncher, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu as déjà fait des ajustements aux costumes d'Halloween de tes enfants pour qu'ils puissent les porter par dessus un habit d'hiver, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu transportes des câbles à survoltage et que ta femme sait s'en servir, Tu vis au Québec! Si la limite sur l'autoroute est 100km/h, que tu roules 130km/h et que tout le monde te dépasse, Tu vis au Québec! Si conduire est préférable en hiver car les nids de poule sont remplis de neige, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu connais les 4 saisons, Presque l'Hiver, l'Hiver, Encore l'esti d'Hiver et les Travaux Routiers, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu trouves moins 6 degrés juste un peu frisquet, Tu vis au Québec! Si tu comprends ces blagues et que tu les envoies à tes copains, Tu vis au Québec!

....Et que signifie réellement les lettres suivantes ?

TVQ et TPS ....réponse !

Tu Vis au Québec et Tu Payes en Sacrament

Ascii Sector Version 0.6

The latest version of Ascii Sector was released on August 31st. I am finishing up some missions with Version 0.5.4.4 before upgrading. The new version will allow for ship boardings to occur.

If you wish to lead the life of a pirate, this version should quench your thirst. However, what goes around comes around... A pirate can board your ship as well...

Ascii Sector

I have been a fan of the classic game Wing Commander: Privateer which was released in 1993. I have been playing it or one of several derivative versions. Recently, I discovered Ascii Sector.

Ascii Sector is a 2D version of the game using the original as a template. By ascii, it means that all graphics are composed of characters on a standard keyboard.

G.I. Joe : The Rise of Cobra

I went to see the new G.I. Joe movie on Sunday night. It was a blast! This is not an award-winner but a lot of fun! The action was great. The story was believable. A few threads were left open for possible sequels... Well worth the money.

Ice Age 3

I went with my family to see Ice Age 3 last weekend. It was a great movie. something for kids and something for adults. I highly recommend it to all.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I got the chance to see the new Transformers movie last week while on vacation and really liked it. I still haven't watched the entire first movie, but I was able to understand the basic story.

Great special effects!
