What a nightmare trying to find out what is going on in Halifax now. Scrolling online just doesn’t have the quick accessibility when you want to decide on a day what you want to do in the evening. If it’s good enough for “The New Yorker” why not for “The Coast?” Being told what is best for everyone by one person is not my idea of a sophisticated mag. Bring back print listings. —Prefer browsing on a page

Wait! You’re comparing The Coast to the New Yorker…?! Alleging The Coast is a sophisticated publication?! Really? !
Yeah, the orts and castings of King’s J-school who think they are edgy and topical because they use “fuck” in their headlines, trying to play at being Mother Jones by bringing ghomeshiesque quantities of hipster smarm to the table are a veritable Algonquin round table of discourse and repartee. *sarcasm klaxon sounds* We might forgive them for regurgitating E.A.C. manifestos, verbatim, if they just kept on top of the local entertainment listings.
Maybe J@c*b B**n can publish a hilarious article about how many rejection e-mails The Onion has sent him.
A SOPHISTICATED MAG

Ordinarily I would agree but not in the present case where Montrealman happens to be that “one person.”
Avatar #92: Notes from the Bank of England. (“A Combination of Rare Wit & Intelligence,” The Coast)
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Complaining about a free service…
good luck with that.
I agree. I don’t think it’ll happen though.
They pulled my last comment! Something is up Chez coast…
Vrolijk Kerstfeest! Kruidnoten?
DELETED THREADS
So was the entire thread “Envirobate” and “Never, ever again.”
I didn’t realize that you were Dutch. Did you catch my avatar “Historically Interesting Paper Money” (#3)? It showed a one guilder (“EEN GULDEN”) note featuring the portrait of Queen Wilhemina and inscribed: “UITGEGEVEN KRACHTENS KONINKLIJK BESULIT VAN $ FEBRUARI 1943.”
Here’s your chance! Give it a go!
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Welkom, Zwarte Miet(y)
en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar
The words ‘The Coast’ and ‘sophisticated’ used in the same sentence?
I hope everyone likes my new avatar. I have a huge affection for Darkside wharf rats. Especially if they’re cross-eyed. Awwwwww……

Mr. Catpiss, give me a high four!
I scrubbed the urine stains off this avatar as best I could. Thankfully, the semen stains were on the back.
For the record: not Dutch
I have an affinity for the country and the people (and the beer… SO much better).
Just taking a stand on the Zwarte Piet issue… can’t wait for Sinterklaas (and any ensuing drama)!
MM, we need to go to A’dam for Queen’s Day… the leather bars are just one street over from the Red Light District so we’ll both have fun! You’re welcome to join me, of course…
Maybe Ivan will join us; make it a threesome?

Not so much into the leather bars – that’s more Ivan’s thing – but I do remember the Red Light District well. Not as a customer, of course, but as an observant student of the human condition. Each of the girls had their own separate softly-lit little room complete with an armchair where they could relax between engagements. The room, which gave out onto the street, could be viewed through a large picture window. A door led to a back room.
Periodically each would get up out of their armchair and do a little dance to inflame the attentive observers, both male and female but usually male. Sometimes, however, the room was empty. No one was there. Just an empty armchair. I always wondered where they went.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

What the hell were you doing to it, and why? Actually I don’t want to know……

Any excuse to wear my uniform. I’ll pass on the threesome but gladly watch as you take Montrealman to heaven before sending him to hell.
MWA HA HA HA HA
.And then, the brownies.
A very attractive avatar. A virtual Helen of Troy!
TTFN, could you introduce me to that delightful goddess and her abundance of perfect golden curls? I’m positive I can straighten those eyes out. Perhaps the curls as well but that’s the risk I’m willing to take.
Space gebak. And you know, I’ve never had it!
