    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    If he's anything like my mother's father it was likely, "You need to get checked for Alzheimer's." They lived in Dorchester, NB, and he would routinely be found having walked halfway to Sackville.

    Increasingly so. My web searches have been flagged as "possible bot activity" multiple times, over the last month. OK, I don't really show a lot of emotion most of the time and have RBF, but BOT?!

    The same type of person who aspires to be a Prefect in high school. I wanted to help out at dances and plays, and such. The Head Prefect stole $100 that was meant for new sweaters and used it to look like a big man, buying pizza at the end of the year. Went on to become an RCMP officer.
