    How awesome would that be? A real life flame thrower war. We could wear CP t-shirts over those extreme fire proof suits so no one gets seriously hurt and the object would be to burn the t-shirt off. :)

        I don't know what weasel piss Torontonians drink, I had to make a guess. ;) If it was out here I'd request Sea dog Ale from Vancouver Island Brewery.

            Given a choice you actually *chose* Toronto over Vancouver or Victoria, you're a Torontonian as far as I'm concerned until proven innocent. ;) Coopers sounds fine though, get those minions on it. :)

                        We should all meet in Hawaii. I'm sure Chris will be happy to foot the bill.

                        No no, I think we should all meet in Thailand. Thailand is the best value holiday I've ever had, doesn't have tricky Visa requirements for us non Americans, and in general would be easier for us people living in the Asian region to get to.

                                        I propose we have a day each year where all Code Project members actually get off their computers and meet with eachother in some public location. Here are the proposed details:

                                        • When: the first Saturday night of August.
                                        • Where: local pubs.

                                        I know a lot of members don't like to post their location online. Somebody should build a mobile device app that will anonymously post a person's location. It will require Code Project login details so other's don't try to use it. And it should be on multiple platforms (maybe even one on Code Project for members who don't have smartphones). We can then use that map to find the best places to meet other Code Project members. Maybe we could even have a pin/wristband or something that identifies us, so we can spot eachother. This meetup day should be announced in all Code Project emails sent prior to the day. And Bob should dress up for it too. Now we just need Chris to ratify this proposal. :)

                                        I totally agree, but since Codeproject is a worldwide community I'll be waiting my plane ticket paid by Codeproject with the destination to the caribbean's meeting point. :cool:

                                          I know what the word means and I used it correctly. So what's your point?

                                          Wouldn't one usually say "brass is polished" rather than "brass is policed"?
