Author (5 books) and syndicated sports columnist in Canada.

I specialize in boxing and hockey and do a lot of my writing while munching buffalo jerky in the frozen wasteland of rural Alberta. They tried introducing Taco Bell here a few years back, but the little chihuahua brought in for the grand opening froze solid.

IT pseudo-professional for more years than I'd like to admit. Professional because they pay me ... pseudo because like many in this business, my training is elsewhere. In my case classical Geophysics.

Presently to be found supporting and evolving parts warehouse management systems for a Fortune-n company. "n" is small, really small.

We don't do tacos either. I'd wager dollars to doughnuts (or rare backs) that our equipment is involved in the whole store/prep/sell cycle, though.

Very interesting thread!

Writehooks: where specifically in the "frozen wasteland of rural Alberta" do you reside? My wife grew up in Okotoks/Aldersyde area. I went to U of Calgary. We go back once or twice every year to visit the rellys in Lethbridge. Nice part of the world.

I live in Vegreville, 100 clicks east of Edmonton. If you're familiar with Alberta's series of "world's biggest" tourist attractions, ours is the world's biggest pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg). The best one, of course, is at Glendon: the world's biggest perogie, suspended on the world's biggest fork – right in the middle of town ...

Dave, In some countries they are considered sacred (I'm fairly certain). Hey, lobster are scavengers, but I doubt there'd be much commotion if they were slinkin' around a Long John Silvers after lock-up.

No need to go to Taco Bells when we have so many authentic Mexican (Oaxacan) restaurants by us that even import their Pepsi from Mexico.

a Carpet & FLooring store owner with hopes to distribute the best name brands nationwide with guaranteed prices. I offer the lowest price in the state of Michigan currently....what a challenge.

If I get this going to where I want , Iam going to try to pursue comedy acting with a goal of hosting the "Academy Awards" within a 3-5 year span once noticed. Then to create a variety show second to none for all to watch. Todays TV is very boring.
