Planet Smashers! Montreal girls! Too many girlfriends!

[pphaneuf]

So, last sunday, I was thinking to myself that I wanted to see more shows, and that specifically, some kick-arse ska like the Planet Smashers would be awesome. I think to myself that musicdieu probably knows all there is to know about these things. Monday, I forgot to ask him. Tuesday, I went to Old Dublin with blacksquiggles, taxlady and swestrup (mindlessly almost forgetting to pay, thanks to cpirate for covering!). Back to the office, I stop by musicdieu's office of pantslessness, and he informs me that he's going to see the Planet Smashers the next day.

Ain't that grand?

The show rocked (or actually, ska'd), as expected. If they hadn't played a few of their slower and more reggae newer tracks (which are somewhat less awesome, I have to agree), I would have indeed needed a new colon after all that arse kicking they put out. As it is, I'm only left with blue arsecheeks.

It also did much good to my soul to see that there were still people in this world with the will to live, after going to that Autechre gig in Toronto. Montreal girls are quite fine, and I could have swore that a few were looking at me. People who know me will understand the implications of me even noticing anything. But I already had fine company for the evening, so I was quite content to enjoy my time there and leave it at that.

On another note, I found this thing about why having two girlfriends is a really bad idea to be rather hilarious. Some choice quotes:

• Your only option under these conditions is to burn things, or become gay.
  
• Your best course of action is to give up, go to bed on your own, and buy some unbreakable plastic glasses in the morning.
  
• You can expect to be up to an hour and a half late for any appointment.
  
• [...] and that's a huge Falklands Islands guano mountain of batshit - all for you to deal with.
  
• If you can afford the only three-seater mid-engined sportscar, you can fuck right off.
  
• Does having two girlfriends sound sensible to you? Of course not, it's utterly fucking insane.
  

There's also an attempt at the same about having two boyfriends, although notably less funny (but then, what would I know about that?). ;-)

Ten times better? Shite, do they even have a pulse in KW?

I think Toronto might have the edge in numbers of hot guys per capita, but Montreal could beat it in quality of the hot guys (per hot guy). That's what I find from sitting around a lot and looking at people, plenty of hot girls in Montreal, but there isn't obviously as many hot guys.

When I went to Stuttgart in Germany, people told me "ah, there's so many hot girls over there!", and I found it to be quite similar to Montreal. But they were doing as good in the hot guys department, which made walking down Köningstraße quite easy on the eyes overall. ;-)

That question proves you never lived in KW... is there such a thing as having a negitive pulse???

I'd echo waterlooser's sentiment: do negative numbers count?

Maybe it's my genes speaking but French-Canadian boys, as a whole, are fucking hot. However, Toronto seems to have lots of hot skinny emo boys. Is it because living in Toronto breeds emo-ness? I think it does! Whereas Montreal just doesn't have a lot of hot emo boys, coz people are too happy to live there to be emo. Plus depressed emo boys probably wouldn't survive long Montreal winters.

Yeah, german girls are hot, but I don't find german guys hot at all. Amsterdam has all the hot women -- holy crap! I think I almost became a lesbian when I went there. Denver, OTOH, has NO attractive people at all. I think if I lived there, I'd have to get a mail-order bride or something. The people there are UGLY.

Natural selection at it's best (happy in Montreal, and culling whoever was unhappy during the harsh winter!). Since I don't have much of a thing for emo boys myself, I'm doing just fine around here. :-)

It wasn't so much as they were particularly hot guys, as much as there didn't seem to have much ugly people. I find that there's a pretty good (bad?) proportion of homely looking guys in Montreal. Which I guess works out well for me. ;-)
