My new university's frosh website/schedule reminds me a little too much of the Gathering Of The Juggalos. To wit:
Frosh is the place to meet new friends, party, discover Montreal life. These will be by far the best FIVE days of y’alls life!
Activities include:
* Boat Cruise!
* Pub Crawl!
* Waterslides!
* Camping!
* Movie Night!
* Giant Inflatable Games!
* BBQ’s!
* Outdoor Activities!
Terrible grammar! Boat cruises instead of helicopter rides! Plus all the "awesome" photos from previous years are of drunk guys in cowboy hats. I am terrified.
-
All that it really needs is:
* Butterbean!

Wait, they say y'all in Mon-tree-awl?

My question exact-ally.
-
Grow some fucking balls and go to Frosh.
-
Is there a Frosh Ass Comedy Tent?
-
So what is the Canadian equivalent of Faygo? A big garbage can full of poutine?
-
Are you going to McGill?
-
There's a Violent 'Eh joke to be made here.

It would be maple syrup served in a beaver skull.

I've got the opposite advice. But yesno is smarter than me, and I'm probably not the right person to be giving social advice anyway.
There may be some kind of alternative frosh that would be a little more sympatico. Are you living in residence? If so, frosh would be harder to avoid, but also less necessary in terms of meeting people.
-
I am not excited about the prospect of either growing balls or attending frosh, but I'm probably going to have to do both, seeing as I'm not in residence and everyone has convinced me I will be a friendless leper for the rest of my life if I don't go on the Pub Crawls! or the Boat Cruise! Because as we all know, every lifelong friendship starts when you get vomited on by a Communications major in a bouncy castle.

Not knowing what yesno meant by "Frosh" (yes, I'm familiar with "frosh" as a term for "freshman"; he was talking about an event, though), I decided to Google it but mistyped "forsh" instead, thus learning that Forsh "is one of the biggest names in Armenian pop."

I think you should go to Armenia to see Forsh, instead, emma.

I Googled successfully after encountering Forsh, yesno. But thanks.

Being born with them is great, but I don't think growing them later in life is a good idea.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

How does the language stuff work? Can you get by only knowing English or..

I'm finding it's complicated. You can get by with English only, and plenty of people do, but it would make me feel like a cultural imperialist. It's probably best to try to speak French. Francophones are about 66% of the populace in Montreal, Anglophones are at around 15%, and people whose first language is neither (allophones) are about 20%. But of course, the Francophones are usually more fluently bilingual than the anglos. It's a sensitive issue.
As a tourist, one would have no problem if they spoke English only.
-
One of the better compliments I've had in recent years was when a French Canadian told me I spoke French like a Canadian (not a French Canadian; an Anglo used to speaking French in Quebec). Considering I haven't had occasion to speak French regularly for more than thirty years (in my yout' I was mistaken for Parisian by Parisians, brag brag), that was quite flattering.
God, I must be feeling insecure/invisible today to be bragging so blatantly. I leave this post in penance, so that all may scoff at me who so choose.

Emma, you should check out CJLO while you are there! The people at that station are amazing.

*DUDES ON STILTS

I'd have a serious crush on Sugar Slam, if only she wasn't so... 'urban.'
"And for all you hungry *sses out there: Yes we have food, and plenty of it, all over that b*tch."
Vanilla Ice, Coolio, Rowdy Roddy Piper, showers, a convenience store, Violent J's Beach Boys BBQ Blowout Bash The 3rd My Nerd, Karaoke Competition, and of course...
SEMINARS!
Looks like Daddy's going to have to raid his kids' college funds!

Wait, why would Canada need Juggalos? Don't you have socialism?
