I did a bit of that some years ago spending time on Manitoulin island followed by ferry to Tobermory (in fog in June!), a quick trip to Niagara before a final night in Toronto and home. A brilliant province to explore.

Yeah - we skipped Manitoulin due to time constraints but the whole area from there and up is stunning.
I think I've seen enough of Toronto though. I would definitely love to but a final line through that particular item 
cheers

That reminds me that it wasn't until the second time I saw Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" that there was one word spoken in the movie, and who spoke. No spoilers from me, it was such a great and unexpected gag.
I went to the movie two nights in a row. The second night I got to see the gags/jokes I missed because I was laughing so hard at other jokes the first night. This seemed to be the case for others, as I was laughing when they were just winding down from their laughing.

Wow.
I...hope it's better than the trailer for it on YouTube.
I can usually appreciate Mel Brooks' humor, but maybe this is just a case of a movie not aging well - it just did nothing for me.

It isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it just had me howling in 76. It probably has to many current references to be fully appreciated by the younger crowd. Also, it is pure Slap-stick, and many just don't like that. I do. Must be why I love Pratchett's "Moving Pictures" from the Discworld series. He's the only one I know that can write Slap-stick effectively.
Plus, as I said, you may not fully get it until the second viewing.

I can appreciate humor that predates me (you can count me as a Python fan), but I think you hit the nail on the head: it's slap-stick, and I've never found anything funny in that.
I'll stick with Mel Brooks' other work. This one, I think, is gonna be a write-off for me.

There was a codeproject store a few years back and I cherish my codeproject mug to this day.
For some reason the store no longer seems to exist.

I have a mug (and a second one on the way!) I won for a couple of articles, but never a shirt.

I have one in my wardrobe. But I have a feeling it was a gift, or prize, sent to me some years back.

It must be super duper grand prize, cuz i won first prize before and MVA, and i got a mug and a certificate respectively.

Pretty sure they've made a good bit of money off of you on the ads you have seen (and not seen).

Well they also send me mugs and stickers, so I figure if I'm doing my part it tends to zero out. If it doesn't, i just have to step up my coding game.
I'd rather send money to CP than some site I know nothing about. CP has been good to me.
