Breaking news: Canadians don’t fuck around when it comes to potato chips

God dammit now I want chips.

So I’ve been back in Pittsburgh for a month now, and I have to say I really miss it already. The plan is to be done with the job by October and move to Portland early in January. (It’ll be nice to have some time off for the holidays)

ANYWAYS, here are some of the nicest pictures I took on the trip!

Canadians are getting a 30 story skyscraper made out of wood. Because they can.

There’s a damn good reason no one builds skyscrapers out of wood, mainly because it’s just not very durable, resilient or flexible compared to steel, and when you start framing it up high enough, it’s not very good at holding its weight. Oh, and because if there’s a fire, you’re just going to create a giant chimney of death. But fuck that, Vancouver is gonna build a 30 story wooden skyscraper anyway.

Barely dressed Canadian woman does some sort of pole dance on the Vancouver Skytrain

If she was hot or sane, this might be a fun thing to see on the train. But no. Just another crazy woman doing a slow pole dance in public.

Vancouver riots? What Vancouver riots?

Vancouver riots after Canucks lose the Stanley Cup to the Boston Bruins

I may be one of the few Canadians who don’t watch Hockey, but rather than just hearing about the score the next morning as expected, I hear about riots…It’s kind of disgusting. Here’s a link with some photos taken last night.

West Vancouver, Canada using tromp l’oeil paintings of kids to slow cars down

There’s been a number of sidewalk artists in recent years that have mastered using tromp l’oeil forced perspective to create some fantastic 3D illusions, but West Vancouver is going to start using such techniques to try to get drivers to slow down in school zones by giving them the impression that they’re about to run over a kid. Or you could just have cops hiding behind bushes to throw child-sized mannequins at the windshields of passing cars. That’s another option.

Most epic pizza oven ever

This awesome construction is the pizza oven at Marcello’s Pizzeria in Vancouver, BC. I hear the pizza that comes out of it gives you super powers and shit.
