I'm from Montreal - living proof that not all your international listeners are spambots!
Here's a fun fact about Quebec most americans don't know: we use catholic sacraments as swear words. Tabernacle, chalice, wafer/host, pyx, and sacrament (tabarnak, calisse, ostie, ciboire, et sacrament) are the most frequently used, but if you really get going you can throw in a baptism or a Moses for emphasis. We interject them randomly where you would use a normal swear in english, so it's not unusual to hear something like this : "Sacrament! My tabernacle of a chalice-y boss will wafer fire me if I'm pyxing late again!" (This is a literal translation from the french version) We also string them together in non-sensical series, so you could get something like " My wafer of tabernacle of chalice of christ!" Hundreds of years of catholic oppression will do that to you.
Edited to add : You can also smoke pot pretty much anywhere outside (it's not legal, it's just not very illegal), and you can touch the strippers. A no-contact (aka "american style") lap dance costs almost nothing, but you have to find a girl who'll do it. Most of them feel it's not worth their time, cause if you're so cheap that you're asking for a no-contact dance, it's probably not a good sign.
I have a question for anyone still reading the forums, i guess. Where should I start listening to the show? Should i go back, start from the beginning and give the early episodes another shot, or is there really a point where you could say "it got awesome HERE"? For the hosts, do you guys have favorite episodes? What would be on your "best of Bone's Lair" list?
I listened to episode 83 last night and i woke up this morning humming "Whole Lotta Love."
