Quote:wooohooo Canada… land of the free
Noooo, The United States is the land of the free, home of the brave.
Canader is the land of the beer, home of the block starters. Geesh, get it right.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Block starters?? would that be the big ass cord sticking out of the front of the car?? mmmmmmm Beer…well we have real beer lol so i cant argue with you there…but but … land of the free… well thats definitely us up in the snow!!! and oh yeah mon-dude…we have health coverage…whats that you ask? i think ive explained this one to you before…
We are, each of us angels with only one wing;
and we can only fly by
embracing one another
You go, girl!
NO PRISONERS!
Am I the only one who remembers Martin Mull’s 3-part TV classic, “The Canadian Conspiracy”? It was splendid. All those rational, civic minded Canadians, some of them beloved icons like Lorne Greene and Leslie Nielson, trying to look innocent of blatant infiltration of US culture…
(Okay, no cheap shots about using US and culture in the same sentence!)
Though this does bring to mind…am I very sheltered, or is Canada the only major power that doesn’t have an insulting name for its citizens? Think of all the really awful, nonPC slurs that get tagged onto nationalities. IS there even one for Canadians? (Canucks isn’t really a contender.)
Anyway, Canadians, your way of life and excellent lobster are safe. It’s a good bet Occam would get lost somewhere around Detroit anyway.
Moosehead,
Veb
I saw “The Canadian Conspiracy”, Veb. Loved it.
You’re right. No one has tagged us with an offensive nickname yet. I think it’s because we’re perceived as harmless and boring. And we are.
I’m told that some Americans stick a Canadian flag on their luggage when they travel abroad. They claim they get treated better.
And what fault can you find in a country that brews Moosehead beer?
Whoops, forgot to mention the lack of insulting nicknames for Candadians came from Canadians.
We were sitting around a fire near the beach in New Brunswick (Moncton, to be exact), licking lobster flecks off our elbows and solving the problems of the world.
Uh, we were washing the lobster down with a modest…okay, immodest…quantity of beer and wine.
Anyway, purely in the spirit of enlightened inquiry…

Block starter, block heater, block head, whatever. All I know is that it’s the middle of October and we’re all still wearing shorts down here <Big shit eating grin).
Quote: and oh yeah mon-dude…we have health coverage…whats that you ask? i think ive explained this one to you before…
Yeah, you have, but I’m senile. 
Besides, We don’t need health coverage. We don’t have to worry about drowning in some kind of bizzare maple syrup incedent, or getting mauled by a pissed-off moose.
And down here in Texas, we don’t need any surgical operations to get our buttcheeks treated for frostbite.
All we have to worry about is getting shot by some drunk redneck with a twelve gauge, and when you’re dead, you don’t need health coverage.
(Editor’s note: The preceeding rant does not reflect the poster’s actual feeling for Canada. He just likes giving certain posters a hard time)
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Why, you little Texan (Sue’s description, not mine) you should be grateful you have us for a neighbour. If it wasn’t for our huge nuclear arsenal, you’d have been over run by Mexico long ago. But they know we like to go to DisneyWorld in February, so they won’t mess with you. We stand on guard for thee.
Of course, I won’t be going to DisneyWorld. In February, I’m going to Vegas for a week.
They’re holding some money for me that I left behind on my last trip.
I have lots of willpower.
I’m just too strong to be a slave to it.
Wally… im thinking its about time we just say screw it and annex those lil texans… show them what life is all about on the outside!!
Hope you win your bucks back!!
Ummm…Wally, I think you’re getting “number of drunken hockey players per capita” confused with “number of nuclear warheads.”
And check out my post: I didn’t write extra large, it was done for me!
We might not have free health insurance, but we get free big-ass fonts!
And if you saw my belly, you’d know there is nothing small about me.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Hey!! we like those drunken hockey players… there’s nothing like a good night of watching them duke it out on the ice… while we drink our icy REAL beer… HOckey is a Canadian Staple!!! Go Oilers Go
< sigh > I remember being able to say “Go Oilers Go”. Of course it never really helped, did it?
We will get another football team now, and I’m just hoping this team doesn’t choke like those durn Oilers.
So, do ya think we’ve killed this thread yet?
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Not quite.
What’s with the “Remember the Alamo” thing?
You lost. Santa Anna kicked your ass.
Shouldn’t it be “Forget the Alamo, Let’s Grab a Burritto?”
And I don’t think Sue was referring to your belly when she adjectivized you as little.
But that’s another thread. When all the evidence is in, you won’t be able to show your face in the pit for 30 days.
I am, however, amendable to some kind of agreement for a reasonable stipend.
U.S. currency only. None of that Canuck funny money.
I have lots of willpower.
I’m just too strong to be a slave to it.
ummmmmm
Fellow Canadians, report to our main office.
I wonder how many of us there are on the SD? I know three.
We lost the Alamo, but we won the war. Of course, we still get invaded everyday, but that’s a topic for another thread.
Hey Wally, just because you have a second belly button doesn’t mean that everybody else does.
Aahhh, I’m just jealous because you have an old, beat up Harley.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
As a student, I resent that…
You misspelled resemble.
