We use the term "blue rare" for very rare steaks here. I had assumed that was a common expression.
#notwatchroh I don't think we get a Sinclair station here, and I'm still not really used to watching TV on the computer on a regular basis. I did order a few of the iPPVs and they were pretty fun, but the last one I tried to order was that one that nobody could order. The good news is that we get Spike TV and TNA seems to be turning things around.
Raw starts at 7:15 here (or 8:15 in the winter; Saskatchewan doesn't observe daylight savings time which messes up our TV schedules twice a year) whether it's a two-hour show or a three-hour show, so we never get to watch it live with the Americans (7:00-7:15 is taken up by Score-produced recap of the previous week's show).
I don't think The Score has separate east/west feeds but I'm not certain and you don't care.
Boiled peanuts are GROSS. Not quite Marmite gross, but they're right up there on the list of "awful local delicacies I've had to try."
I used to write curved 9s, but I caught hell at the pizza place I used to work at - I wrote a curved 9 on a ruled order sheet, which made it kinda look like a 2, resulting in all sorts of minor wrong-address chaos. They made me write straight-legged 9s after that, and I've never gotten out of the habit.
This episode was taped before the previous post was posted, but tonight's arrangement of LED segment magnets may at least answer the second question (or confuse you further as I've already forgotten what I said)
As for Canadian Smarties, they have been around a long time. Here is one of the original commercials where they asked whether one "eats the red ones last"?
Smarties are known as Rockets in Canada because of the chocolate Smarties, which were there first.
Your Hecho en Canada Smarties are left over from last Halloween. They ramp up production around then because they can't meet demand with just the US (NJ) Smarties factory.
