Can you stop now? Please? Can you go away? You don't even know the names of the actors who played Bob and Doug Mackenzie and Mike Douglas (the talk show host) and Michael Douglas (the actor) aren't Canadian.

You forgot Sarah McLachlan. Ten times better than Alanis and I'm not going to go into how much better she is than Celine.

Methinks you have watched The Canadian Conspiracy one time too often

P.S., forgot to mention Jack Warner and the guy who invented the Robertson screw.

Matthew Perry's (Friends, and that movie where he played Chendler from Friends... What was it? The whole Nine yards?) parents shoip at my wife's grocery store, here in good ol' Ottawa...

Not really of any importance, but hey...it's sort of something, if you're into celebrity gossip.
