I knew I liked you. Walked right in here, agreed with me , and thought of an aspect I hadn’t: Mr. Ambition’s ability to lift everybody else up. That’s a great point.

Welcome to MCE, and thanks for your comment!

Regards,

Kelly

I’m afraid I’m going to have to go with Mr. Ambition. I think about the influence and inspiration he may have on the other members of the team. I think a dynamo like that may help to inspire.

And what’s to say the no-ambition guy wouldn’t leave at some point anyway?

I say grab the brass ring while it’s right there and get what you can out of it.

Cheers

George

Guedille?

(That’s a new one on me!)

Never heard of that one before, (but then again, I grew up on the West Island).

Toastés are damned good… except I haven’t eaten a hot dog in years. Saw a documentary on how they’re made and got completely grossed out. But man. I do miss them. All dressed. With pickles.

You ever have a guedille? Now *that’s* disgusting but oh man. Hot dog bun, bacon, coleslaw, curd cheese, hot peppers, mushrooms and onions… Oh man. Now I have to go out for lunch. Jeez.

And it’ll cost me. *cries*

$5.85 for a small poutine? TABAROUETTE, C’est cher!

Those chip stands have gone up in price.

On a related note, I kinda miss “La Belle Province” (the restaurant chain, that is). I liked to go there to get my dose of cheap hotdogs and greasy fries. I liked the “Toasties” versus the “Steamies”. And I liked how they shovelled the fries on your tray so they spilled all over the place.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a Belle Province anywhere east of D.D.O. It’s a good 4.5 hour drive for me.

BWAH ha ha! That video was an awesome start to my day! I am, as before, grossed out and determined to try it someday, but now ROFL too.

Of course we can get fries and gravy down here and I love that (I’m Irish! If it involves a potato I have to love it!), but you know, the cheese curds are a bit icky looking and they make me wonder how you ever get out of your chair again after having a few bites. As you say, throw some out (or share with a crowd).

“Pou-tchin” if you don’t want to be called out. Got it. (Look, silly videos can teach something!) If I ever roll across the border you’ll have to give me a recommendation on the best stand in the province.

Until later,

Kelly

Personally, I’m with Friar. The frite stand is the only place to eat. Questionable hygiene, don’t look to far behind the counter and the customer is never in charge or right.

The problem? Price. We’re now up to 5.85 for a small poutine, which is actually close to my two hands cupped together and full of food. That makes a meal for four (4 small poutines, 4 cheese-bacons and 4 cokes, because the poutine is supposed to be a SIDE order… right…) come up to a small fortune. It’s now a luxury meal.

Invariably, most of the food gets thrown out or you’d puke trying to scarf it all down.

I’ve never had the stuff but from the description it sounds like something that should only be fresh. Never Mc’ed.

Eeew. McPoutines. How’d you like to see that sitting around in a foam box for a couple of hours?

Yes, they do (or did) teach you how to work. I haven’t written about them in a while, but they were a great training ground for just doing the right thing in the work world.

No need to search… I just have all your CB posts framed on the wall in the living room. Okay?

As to the post, yes, that was one of my thoughts. How much “who you hire” may have to do with who you are, not who he or she is.

Until later,
