Absolutely right. It’s time to give the Commons back to “The People”. The muggers, drug dealers and mobs of disenfranchised youth who beat people with table legs for shits and giggles.
um, I think its fair to say that the vast majority of people who use The Commons do not fall into the muggers, drug dealers and disenfranchised youth category. Most of the people I see there are either walking a dog, playing a sport of just sitting on the grass on a nice day.
an excellent cover for their dastardly ways…
drug dealers sitting on grass….
table leg beaters covering with their disguise of ‘playing baseball’…
and what worse threat is there than, ‘give me your ipod and all your money or my dig will tear you a new one’….
scary place, it be.
my ‘dog’ will…. damn it…
wake up!
Is your “dig” named Tyson and does he have gold grills on his slavering fangs?
ok sure, next I suppose you are going to tell me the nice lady in the fishnet stockings and ruby red lipstick wasn’t REAAAAAALLY seeing if i wanted to go on a date with her. I mean she must have known I lived in the neighborhood. She was just standing there on the corner waiting for me to walk by so she could ask. That lady has it bad for me to just wait around for me like that….. I STILL GO IT
* runs comb through his hair*
Give us back our Commons.
This is such BS. They have concerts maybe 3 days total in all of the summer and you’re complaining? What about the other 362 days of the year? And they’re not YOUR commons, they belong to everyone, me included and the commons are actually my backyard pretty much. And I’m for commons concerts, so how do we settle this? BATTLE!?
i’ll say it again…big game of red rover^^^
or we can fill the skate park with jello and have some grape greco roman style going on….
the ticket haul for that would likely exceed the last concert.
works for me^^
Mmm…. jello shooters were had on Friday night. A bad idea that seemed so brilliant when I found a box of jello in my boyfriend’s cupboard. Further bad ideas followed = a queasy Saturday morning. Though, I would never say no to good ole fashioned jello wrestling. Chocolate pudding works well too.
ah, good call, make it a big jello shooter… so that as it progresses, they get inevitably more inebriated. I suppose there wouldn’t be a time limit… just one based on the tolerance and ability to function whilst imbibing and wrestling at the same time.
Made a batch of jello once… with smirnoff blue.
can’t remember much of what happened to it once I cracked the lid so I’m sure it was a good night. I do remember seeing cops though….
i enjoy lemon and butterscotch pudding…maybe bill cosby can ref^^^
My favourite novelty jello flavour is marguarita jello…mmmm…that would make brilliant shooters!!!
now you’re talking ol…thirsty rawk
WHAT?! they make margarita flavoured jello?? What rock have I been living under – that would be delicious… with tequila in it…. slurp!!!
ol probably makes it in her chem. lab ralmn…i don’t think you can buy it at s/s^^^

seems to be so.
nothing like a good slurp after the usual, tedious, life-sucking day comes to a close.
wow, i feel like i’m watching the ed sullivan show…just need some miniature marshmallow recipes
Holy Man-O-Man…. that’s going to be headache inducing. Next grocery trip, I’m going to search me out some of this… excellent camping accompaniment (would go well with bonfires and roasting marshmallows. Thanks for the idea pg). And the shot with the jello-fied worm in it gets a prize!
depending on the daily lurker quotient, there might be a run on the stuff…get out there and stock-up ralmn…glug
I know I’ve never seen it… then again, it’s been a while before I paid any attention to the jello/pudding section of the supermarket.
It may be a fad item as well…. kind of like that pineapple crush stuff you can barely find anywhere.
Ahhh zZz…pineapple crush. I’ll be getting me some when I head to Newfie next week =)
I think the problem, melectric, is that the stage and venue equipment is staying there between the concerts so it’s not just 3 or 4 days, it’s 3 weeks or so.
Anyway: I’m a regular jello buyer and I’ve never seen the margarita flavour in NS. Though, to be honest I only look at the diet shit, so it very well could be here. But ugh, it’s frustrating not to be able to get products in certain regions: like, in BC they have diet grape crush. In QC they have diet cream soda (mind you it *is* clear so ti take some of the novelty of drinking cream soda away) AND caffeine free regular pepsi. But do they have either in NS? NOOOOOOOOO.
Fuckers.
And what the hell happened to salt and vinegar ruffles? Those ruled.
they carry pineapple crush @ Mary Browns, fyi.
there’s a few in the city….
If you’re dying for a fix.
…
wait …. diet grape crush? They make that?
I’m glad that’s not here…. they’d have to sell it in an iv.
Any respectable Newfie Store carries Pineapple Crush! (Sometimes even the rare 2L size) The one just off North Street should have it, as should the one in The Passage. There’s a Jamaican brand of pineapple soda called Grace that is pretty decent too, sometimes found in the import section in small bottles, (especially in southern Ontario). Though I rarely indulge, I absolutely lovvve pineapple pop!
As for the coveted jelly powder, it was discovered in a discount outlet last year. I haven’t seen it on any grocery store shelves. I stocked up but sadly have only 8 boxes left which are being rationed, at an equally maddening and sane pace.
The import section referred to meant to state ‘supermarket import section’.
