"'PAT' CALLED POLICE 'QUEER', SAYS BENCH," Toronto Star. August 17, 1933. Page 3. ---- Two Irishmen Bound Over to Keep Peace for Six Months ==== "It's a rather queer Irishman that has to call a constable to help him in a fight," mused Magistrate Patterson, in women's court to-day, when two natives of Belfast appeared before her.
John Cowan was accused of engaging in a private Donnybrook with John Smith. Cowan pleaded not guilty to assault.
"I've got three children," said Cowan, "and this man told my wife I was going with another woman. When I denied it he called my wife a liar. Then he struck me and I returned the blow. He ran to get a constable."
Both parties were bound over to keep the peace for six months. Woman Bound Over Three generations appeared in court when Mrs. May Mundy was charged with assaulting her 73-year-old mother, Mrs. Eva Broad. With her Mrs. Mundy brought her month-old baby.
Mrs. Broad swore she had been choked and hit by her daughter.
"Sickness made her cranky and irritable," said Mrs. Mundy. "One day she came down to the kitchen and used horrible language and scratched me. I grabbed her by the shoulders. I did not hit her."
Mr. Mundy then took the box to corroborate his wife's evidence.
Mrs. Mundy was convicted of common assault and bound over on a sum of $200 to keep the peace.
"THIRTY SPEEDERS ANSWER SUMMONS," Toronto Star. August 17, 1933. Page 3. ---- Majority Decide to Settle Out of Court --- Most of the 30 speeders listed on the county police court docket to-day settled out of court.
Pleading guilty, Hugh Jones was assessed $10 and costs. The reckless driving charge against James Gibb following an accident, when a bicyclist was hurt, was withdrawn.
W. Dismanno was fined $10 fordriving without an operator's license.

Some dance + real-world-equivalent-ethnicity headcannons :)
Some more little bits i be thinking abt for those who want more dance content: (under the cut)
Usopp with his salsa fundamentals and luffy with his vague memories of samba end up, at some point, coming up with their own much more chaotic combo of the two. They r spinning around so fast its insane. Luffy is about to launch them into the sun. They're having a great time.
Sanji being absolutely miffed when the only other ppl on the crew who know how to couple's dance with him are Usopp and Luffy. He gets over it ofc, being able to actually dance with another person quickly overwhelms the "I wanted to tango with a beautiful lady" grief
Sanji being able to help Usopp re-learn salsa and them bonding over their moms abt it 🥲Luffy is a lost cause tho he's not learning shit /j
BaroqueWorks Robin and Bon Clay bonding over ballet Q_Q
Brook inventing the most INSANE new dips/twirls/transitions because he no longer has muscles or skin or whatever in the way
Also I firmly believe Usopp listens & dances to anything made by Spice, Mr. Killa, and Yung Bredda, but he refuses to let the crew know this. He's not embarrassed or anything he's just fairly sure Sanji would have a heart attack and die if he heard the lyrics
Sanji listens & dances to Rodrigo y Gabriela he's in love with their story
Zoro is one of those freaks who has no desire to listen to music at all but he won't turn it off if it's on, yk?
As made obvious above I think Usopp and Sanji are the 1st and 2nd most versatile dancers, but neither of them dance more Often than Franky
If i had to rank them based on how often/readily they will dance its....in the order I placed the pictures, with chopper between brook and nami. Luffy is only so low cause he'd usually rather be eating, and brook cause he'd rather be playing, and zoro cause he'd rather be drinking/napping
Robin will readily dance with you if you ask her but she's not going to initiate
If you love dance like i do and want to see some specific choreographers/dances i had in mind while drawing these, that will be the rest of this bullet list!
Sanji is doing Derek Hough's little solo bit from his pasodoble choreo on dancing with the stars. look it up it is so peak
Dancing with the star (chopper <3)
In my head Usopp is perfectly capable of dancing any choreography by Latrice Kabamba (west african steps), Tricia Miranda (dancehall), or Yeifren Mata (mostly male solo salsa)
For Franky I think some old way choreos by Nastya Batrachenko or Dashaun Wesley (he mostly does fem now but he has good old way stuff) r good
#my art#dancing HCs#they're all transgender if you didnt notice btw <3#wano is such a clear and intentional allegory for isreal/palestine and zoro's family came from there. he has some brown in him i stg!!!#i know oda said Brook was from austria but oda is wrong <3 brook told me so himself in a dream i prommy#sanji is apparently french. his birth parents are clearly german royalty. his real father is irish. why is he french /hj#chopper is canadian ofc but he is also. a deer

Was at the grocery store and saw a certain brand of soap and it made me think of if Johnny and Simon had to spend time in Canada and buy a bar of Soap. Simon, thinking he was a comedian, bought a certain brand just to piss Johnny off.
Soap, from the bathroom: Uhm, Simon! There's something weird in the bathroom!
Ghost (knowing full well what it is): Really? What is it?
Soap, holding up a box of Irish Spring soap: An' what the hell do ya think you're playin' at then?
Ghost: I haven't a clue what you're talking about, Johnny.
*Meanwhile in the common room.*
Gaz: Captain, do you hear that screaming?
Price: Don't mind it, Gaz. Ghost just bought some toiletries.
Gaz: I don't see why-
Price: He said it was for the leprechaun.
Gaz: Oh.

hc that peter knows a bunch of languages bc he already grew up knowing 3 languages (both of this parents know languages other than English) and he picks up languages really easily, so a bunch of his friends will all be speaking in theyre first languages and Peter will just casually respond in the same language and they'll js have to do a double take for a moment

more more bloopers (p. 3)
it's a huge group scene of both the Foxes and the Ravens and Nicky's actor says something to crack everyone up and Riko's actor puts the back of his hand up to his mouth to cover his chuckle and it's the most out of character thing ever
Matt's actor is supposed to glance up at someone coming into the room but makes direct eye contact with the camera
Dan's actress trips on this one line so many times to the point where she throws up her hands and goes "just recast me"
remember that Andrew's actor has to smile manically for a huge chunk of the show. so there are sooo many times when- especially in like very tense/aggressive situations- he turns to someone with this massive dead grin on his face while dropping the most intimidating lines. if you think there aren't SO many bloopers of the others breaking because of that...
Neil's actor is doing a scene in a classroom where he's supposed to be zoned out staring out the window and you can see the shift in his face when he goes from acting zoned out to actually intently staring out the window. and he squints outside for a good second and then whispers: there's a pigeon fighting a dog out there.
Andrew and Kevin are supposed to be in a heated conversation in which Andrew uses Kevin's full name. but Andrew's actor accidentally says "Kevin DAD" instead and cracks everyone up
then from somewhere in the background one of the others goes "more like Kevin DADDY" and everyone groans and Kevin's actor goes "hush up now"
Andrew's actor has his exy racquet slung over his shoulder (as per Andrew) and in the scene he turns away from someone after a conversation but in one take he accidentally smacks his brother in the face with the racquet
one of the monsters commenting on how squished the four of them are on the couch and the other three collectively push against him together to make him as uncomfortable as possible
Seth's actor has to swear a lot and after one particularly profanity-laden line, Nicky's actor raises his eyebrows and looks down, shaking his head, and goes "naughty naughty boy"
it's a group scene and it's all serious and shit but then Reene's and Dan's actors happen to look up at the exact same time and make eye contact but because it's so unexpected and their faces are all furrowed they immediately break (and then pointedly avoid eye contact for the rest of the takes)
the camera's rolling but they're just fooling around and Matt's actor (who can beatbox) and Neil's actor (who can't rap but does so anyway) put on a little performance and wrap it up with a "much love *finger hearts* album dropping next month checkity check it" (Renee's actress applauds)
and from then on it's a (very serious) running gag for the rest of the show that the two of them are a hip-hop duo. the entire cast plugs them in interviews and on their social medias and on set etc etc
just. Andrew's actor pretending to stab everyone all the time (he admits at one point that he very frequently is threatened with having his prop knives confiscated)
it's a scene where Neil's actor jogs over to join Andrew but on his way he trips. badly. properly eats shit. but it's fine, he just pops back up very professional and makes it to his mark. neither actor cracks up but then they're also? not saying their lines? their faces are straight but you can tell that they're putting their entire energy into not laughing and it's pure silence for like ten seconds and then both them and everyone behind the camera start dying. Andrew's actor is in tears
Katelyn's and Aaron's actors are making out and her hair gets in his face so when he tries to say something he starts plucking at his mouth and he's like "hair" and she's like "oh shit sorry sorry" and then they're both trying to help him and he's like "don't worry about it. tastes like strawberries"
Allison's actress pretending to give the camera a tour of the girls' apartment but it's in character so she's just lightly roasting Dan and Renee
also. it's not a blooper but a few of the actors giving a tour of the photos wall (most of which is real pictures of the cast) and they end up getting lost in the memories and forget to actually address the camera. it turns into them just pulling each other and other members of the cast around going "look look do you remember this day" and wow that's cute as shit
coach's actor is in a scene with the monsters but he forgets which twin he's supposed to address so after he says most of his line he stops abruptly because he doesn't know which name to finish his sentence with and there's a pause until Aaron's actor goes "...Aaron..." and Coach's actor goes "YEAH. Aaron"
Dan's and Neil's actors just finished having a heart to heart and the scene is supposed to end with her giving him a small reassuring smile while he looks conflicted but appreciative. except there's no "cut" so they're looking at each other for a good minute until they both slowly look over to the camera in sync with their eyebrows raised and start giggling
the twins' actors are Canadian and regularly make fun of each other when they accidentally put an "eh?" at the end of their lines
Matt's actor is always moving or dancing and there's. plenty of footage of him going from serious to goofily breaking out into a dance the second someone calls cut
(the edits.)
it's a running gag that Dan's and Nicky's actors are cursed so that when they have scenes together props break. pictures fall off the walls, racquets fall apart, buttons pop off costumes etc etc
it's a scene where the monsters are having a conversation outside, right next to the car because they're about to leave somewhere. and after they've shot the conversation Aaron's actor jokingly goes "SHOTGUN" and proceeds to scuffle with Neil's actor in the parking lot over the seat
a scene of Neil's actor doing homework in the dorm but the notebook he's "using" has been around for months and has acquired scribbles and doodles and shit from the whole cast. after they call cut he holds up the notebook to the camera to show all the nonsense and, in his normal accent, says "can you believe this kid. what a slacker" which becomes a meme
Allison's actress powerwalks into a scene but once she gets to her mark she completely forgets to say her line and then goes "oh- shit. i was so focused on not tripping in these fucking heels. forgot to talk" as she goes back to redo the take
Renee's actress is Australian and there's this one blooper where she's sparring with Andrew's actor and he accidentally trips over her foot. she plays it off like it was intentional and goes "yeah bitch. Aussie power"
Andrew's actor leaning on his racquet and then his brother kicks it out so that he falls completely
they're shooting outside and a truck passing by in the background honks its horn, ruining the take, and Dan's actress turns in it's direction and goes "do you WANT TO FIGHT? HOLD ME BACK, [Matt's actor], HOLD ME"
God bless
#sigh. i have more#this is hardly edited.

Was thinking about our conversation earlier about Nova Scotia and wanted to show you your flag in case you hadn’t see it, cause it is very very inspired by the flag of Scotland. Nova Scotia also has its own dialect of Gaelic, Canadian Gaelic!
Yesss, Nova Scotia has such a cool flag! I wish Québec's flag had a badass lion instead of the 'fleur de lys' xD
#and Canadian Gaelic is so interesting!!! It's basically the equivalent of french from Québec versus french from France#it sounds similar to Scottish Gaelic but there are words and pronunciation that are completely different! which can lead to confusion haha#it's the same for Newfoundland and the Irish language#thanks for the ask!

Being second generation half Russian in Canada is like a weird purgatory bc of course i reap all the benefit of white privilege and pass as just another white Canadian mf yet ppl still treat your country of origin as some crazy foreign boogeyman and regurgitate insane propaganda, but if your parents retained their communist moral compass (75% of them turned into materialistic consoomers the moment the country opened up) you also just feel this immense cognitive disconnect from the west and Canadian ideology. It's like an identity in here ...
#ik saying second generation half rus sounds like im grasping for straws but i have citizenship it was my first language#my primary caregiver was rus and we would go back every other year so no im not on some irish american bs abt being rus#i do know other 1st gen russians who straight up didnt even teach their canadian kids the language#which was very much not my lived experience lol#add in a dash of “is my familys culture just so different or is this clinical domestic dysfunction” and youre scrombled for liffee
