When I was fresh out of OISE, I got my first job at a brand new school, because they had an insane timetable of spec ed/careers and grade 9 math.

I didn't (and still don't) have math on my ticket, but I assured the principal I could teach it...

Man, I could write a book about that first semester.

Sorry...Red Racer...it's awesome...

Yeah.

I could drink that stuff for the rest of my life.

(Or are we not doing the Sloan thing any more?)

Me too. I've tried it all, and I'm tired of trying.

Is it this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_of_English

The Adventure of English is a British television series (ITV) on the history of the English language presented by Melvyn Bragg as well as a companion book, also written by Bragg. The series ran in 2003.
The series and the book are cast as an adventure story, or the biography of English as if it were a living being, covering the history of the language from its modest beginnings around 500 AD as a minor Germanic dialect to its rise as a truly established global language.
In the television series, Bragg explains the origins and spelling of many words based on the times in which they were introduced into the growing language that would eventually become modern English.
Hey, I think that is it. Awesome, thanks. I thought it was a much older guy hosting it, but this is partially remembered from watching it on TVO a couple years ago as I was going to sleep.

(English Major here too, but I think ten years of email has ruined me.)

EDIT: Just grabbed the series and put it up on my server. Let me know if the links go dead, and if it's slow then someone else is probably already downloading something.
Thanks for hosting. C-11 is coming for you though ;)


Oh yes, on the topic of Red Racer: I'm very happy that this keeps coming in ever couple months, instead of one gigantic release. I'd be pleased if they kept up this kind of pace, so it's back every few months. But didn't someone say, this was the last shipment of one huge one-time order?

Yeah, the band? ;)

The CD Audio set 'Journeys In English' is at the library so I ripped it to my iPod

(as well as Bill Bryson's wonderful 'Short History of Nearly Everything' and his 'Shakespeare: The World as Stage.' - he is an avid audio presenter of his books, and a humorous guy.)

And Red Racer... yeah!

How long does it usually take to order a case of this if I live in Hamilton and (more than likely) its being shipped from Toronto?

LCBO website says there's a case at Centre Mall right now, and a dozen or so left at Dundurn.

Just let me know if you clean out either store, I was thinking of replenishing my supply this week too ;)

I don't have good luck with the Center Mall location. Went in there twice. Once there was supposed to be 36 cans, but only 6 were available on the shelf and the rest were reserved and/or not really there. Another time it was the same story. 48 cans listed from the end of the day before, but only 3 cans on the shelf and the guy working in the cold area said there is nothing in the back.

I guess I'll take a gamble and hope that the dundurn location gets a nice amount like the last two weeks.

Why, though? I thought this was a regular listing and it's been doing so well? Something to do with the brewery perhaps?
