Easy now all. Let's not have any more talk about this unless you are talking about the quantity to be had.

Dude, let it go. If you didn't feel that it was somehow accurate, you wouldn't still be butthurt over it a year after the fact. Move on.

Wow, sorry for trying to understand your point of view and empathize with what it must be like to be a loud-mouthed armchair pundit with nothing tangible to contribute to society, other than frckless commentary. And for the record, you also took non-sequitur cheap shots as part of a discussion on Gladstone Avenue parking.

EDIT: Also, I love blackberries and lots of 'em!

We have a blackberry bush in the backyard and yes, I noticed it ripened much earlier this year, with ripe berries appearing in late July. I have a handful on my cereal most mornings (an industrial-size crate of oatmeal from Costco) meaning my all-you-can-eat breakfast costs only a few cents. It definitely is invasive--if I didn't cut the 12 foot bush back every year it would take over the yard in very short order.

Some of the local wineries offer a blackberry port, a sweet dessert wine that's delicious. Definitely not all you can drink on that one.

"The Himalayan Blackberry, despite its name, comes from Europe and was introduced to America in 1885 by an American botanist who prized the plant for its abundant berries. By 1945, the plant had spread along the Pacific Coast and it is now widespread in much of the province. The fruit of the plant, the blackberry, is an obstacle in controlling the spread of the species, as people like the berries and want easy access to them."

The seeds are spread by animals and birds and fortunately they don't get a foothold in my garden, even though the odd cane appears from time to time.
I am a blackberry NIMBY, but like them in my TUMMY.

We planted a thornless blackberry bush that let you have the taste without all the puncture wounds.

Birds appreciate it to. It seems that the thorns are nature's method of keeping birds away!

You can go to places like Denny's and Red Robin and eat for free on your birthday.

I think there are limits and you need to register as you can't have more than one birthday in a year.

I never eat spaghetti on Sundays because I usually have my white shirt on.

Red Robin you have to register. Denny's no I don't think.

Damn, someone mentioned buffet in another thread.

 

Look, can someone just open one?  How hard can it be?  You put the food out on day #1.  The stuff that does not get eaten becomes soup on day #2.  The soup left over after day #2 becomes dog and cat food after you dry the water back out.

 

No wastage whatsoever.  The water you take out before the dog food part you can inject into the sludge line, so maybe locate along that path.

 

All You Can Eat buffet one side of the building, bulk dog/cat food retail on the other.

 

Matt R., can you confirm this from a food safety and economic perspective?

 

Four easy price points:

 

All You Can Eat food:    $14.99

All You Can Eat soup:    $2.99

 

50 pounds of dog food:     $29.99

20 pounds of cat food:    $19.99 (cat people are women, you can always charge more, like you do for haircuts etc.)

Shouldn't you be at the airport, waiting for that flight to Calgary?

Come on down to The Docks on Wharf St.  For some seafood.  Or cat food.

Sometimes?  I would say it's 87% of the time.
