Speaking as an actual American Bastard, I must say that it sure is nice getting that kind of high level recognition from Mrs. Parrish.
blows kisses, waves
Hiya Ms Parrish!
Great first post FaireBeth, I give it a 9.75. I deducted the quarter point for the use of the grin smilie, and the minor capitalization typo. But, the use of sarcasm was world class. You should make the medal round.
I give my last post a 9.25 for fucking up your name. I am dutifully self-flagellating.
Make sure you use a tissue, Beagle.
Thanks! Now, if I could only be that witty in person.
Gawd, I love the internet.
btw, I am utterly ashamed of my poor capitalization skills- Especially since I am a teacher! The shame…the shame.
Wait… Canada has its own government? Shodan had it right… that is cute!

Now, now, let’s not pick on the Canadians. We should be grateful to them for being a decent nation that doesn’t give us any trouble and has always been a loyal ally. We have the longest undefended border in the world precisely because the Canucks are a peaceful, democratic nation.
Undefended border? Oh yeah, you may say that sitting in your recliner down there in Virginia, but those of us on the border are on the front lines. We’re not blithely unaware of the threat that the Canadians pose. The border isn’t as undefended as you may think.
O Canada, we stand on guard against thee.
And just to be sure, we’ve got your NHL teams held hostage in the south. We’ll kill them if we have to…
Hey, no problem, Canada. Sometimes we are bastards.
But… if you’re really feeling apologetic, how 'bout shipping us some of those Mackintosh’s Creamy Toffee Bars?
I used three rolls of gauze. I got a little carried away.
I hope you realize that Canada slips thousands of civilian special forces operatives into the United States - particularly the Southern states - this time of year. We’ll need to keep a close eye on them.
(For y’all Canucks, we’re just funnin ya. We know that your counrty is pretty much superior to ours in every way except for the weather. You know how Tom Sawyer flirted with the girl he had a crush on by pulling her pigtails? We’re Tom Sawyer.)

Not so much an “undefended border” as an “unnoticed border”.
Let’s see, what comes to mind when one says, “Canada” -

That must have been quite a sight at the alter.
:eek:
I’m glad to see the kind and teasing words being passed around. I was unsure of where to post this thread, but I figured the Pit because of what might ensue.
I was just speaking with a business associate in the US and he asked what Canadians thought of the whole War on Iraq idea. I told him that it varied person by person, much the same as it does in the US.
I think the majority do not see the Americans as “bastards” or “morons”. Sure, many of us have uttered those words about nearly every other nation or individuals in power in those nations, but it is only those in high profile positions whose words are passed around. Which is why it is inexcusable that these words were let loose in front of the press. Very tactless, considering the current state of affairs.
If not for Americans, the Canadian Identity wouldn’t be what it is 
Damn Kwyjibo I nearly got pinched by my boss for laughing out loud.
There is another Canadian export Americans needs more of. Funny Canucks.
And very emphatic shouts of “Yes, yes” instead of “I do”. Then they turned to the media scrum and apologized if they offended anybody during their private moment.
Great. You just made me post a joke about my parents having sex.
I don’t see what the big deal. She’s not in a position of power, and until the media picked it up and ran with it, no one would have known it happened. I rather like it when politicians speak their true feelings, even if I disagree with them, simply because it’s so rare.
Now if our Prime Minister had uttered those words, I would be concerned about the reaction. But some back-bencher from Mississauga? Meh.
You know, last I checked, you were going to Canada on Friday. Standing on guard against Canada, while flying up to see your Canadian fiancee? You’re the worst guard EVER.
I believe he’s lying down on the job.
