    Olive Garden falls victim to JR's dislike of any business with more than five employees

    No, it falls victim to my dislike of phony Italian food. They might as well call it McOlive Garden.

    Next time I look for "Best Italian Restaurant in Toronto", my keyword search will be "yummy"

    Not sure if you want to use such technical language, tho.

    I don't know why people do it day/month/year when you wouldn't say it like that if you were telling someone the date.

    Today is January 16, 2011 - month, day, year. Which means the proper abbreviation should be 1/16/11 - month, day, year.

    And Paul Henderson does belong in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Fuckers. :D

    Plenty of people say the 16th of January, don't they?
