Yes, August 8th is marked as a Civic Holiday (Canada), not December 25th.

As for Dave's shrimp, I'm glad they enjoyed it but it seems like the
marinade would be a tad overpowering for shrimp.

What can I say? I love it. My wife loves it. My son loves it. Everyone
who has ever had it here loved it.

I'm not knocking it, it's just not a marinade I'd think about using for
shrimp. Ketchup... well, just not a fan. Heck, I don't even care for
cocktail sauce for chilled shrimp. Scampi, sure! Just my preference.

Replying to thread drift is one thing. Creating it to deflect is a
troll tactic. Bruce intentionally deflected the thread about Dave's
Marinated Shrimp to Christmas, which has nothing at all to do with
August 8th being a Civic Holiday in Canada.

As for my SO, everyone needs to stop listening to and spreading troll
bullshit.

I've got a recipe for marinated shrimp much like Dave's but it also uses a
tablespoon or two of Old Bay Seasoning. It is spectacularly good and not
too strong or overpowering at all. But it is rather garlicy.

Many people do that. Or they suddenly abandon a thread after they've
been proven wrong.

Oh yes. And frequently over the dumbest thing imaginable too.

Ironically it's pretty much the only thing that offends me on the
Internet. I'm talking about Facebook itself. There's so many serious
issues with the way they operate (political, legal, ethical and
moral), at some point governments will have to step in and break up
the company, as much as that goes against my general principles.

Yes, the Internet has become more like the real world. I don't like
that it's becoming more and more paid. Newspaper sites, for instance.
I guess they don't have much choice.

Yes, the privacy issues. And the fact that they impose American
prudishness and censorship on the entire world. For instance, a
Belgian museum that has a lot of centuries old nude paintings can't
show them on their Facebook page. They keep being censored. Where's
the harm?

She hasn't been gone that long; a few years but not a decade.

I meant: hasn't she been active in RFC for more than a decade?

By the way, I saw you arrive in RFC a few years ago, but you talk as

Joe Redneck/Bogan gets on the Internet. Clicks on everything,
especially all the 'free stuff'. Gets unauthorized transactions on
their credit card.... "please help us Mr Government, save us from our
own lack of common sense and all the bad people out there". Govco rubs
their hands with glee and say "yes, of course". Happy to destroy a
wonderful and free thing and turn it into yet another instrument of
control and oppression.
