If you asked the average Utahn they would probly answer the capital of Canada is:
1 Toronto
3 possibly Calgary( well after all they have the rodeo there!)
or Canada has a capital I thought they were part of Great Britain:rolleyes:
this excludes all dope Utahns of course
When I read this, the first thing I thought of was Canadian Bacon. It’s a great movie.
Don’t worry Ex-PFC Wintergreen, I got it. Although maybe that’s just because I’ve never met anyone who actually thought that the Toronto is Canada’s capital.
Maybe it would have gone over better if I’d had Steven Wright as a straight man. Oh well. Back to lurking.
Funny line.
Obscure movie reference.
Provokes humourous misunderstanding.
100% on point.
C’mon Wintergreen, don’t make us beg, everybody gets chewed out here.
(Pun on portion of poster’s name being fairly well-known flavour of gum. Smiley omitted in solidarity.)
It’s “humor,” dumbass.
Who you calling a dumbass, dumbass?
It’s dumas.
Actually, it’s dumbarse.
No, it’s “aphasic hemionid.”
I’m Canadian? This explains so much.
Actually, no, it doesn’t. Never mind.
Well, during the blackout, an early map on cnn.com showing major cities with power outages had Ottawa on lake Ontario!
I just wanted to point out that this thread is directly after the one titled “Suppoerting our Troops.” Carry on.
That makes sense – CNN is only 160 years out of date! (Kingston was the capital of Canada for a short time well before Confederation; I had opportunity to tour the outside of the absolutely magnificent Georgian building constructed there to be the Capitol.)
If I do not have a dictionary handy, I spell almost entirely by sight, i.e. does it look right? In an attempt to get a correct spelling for Ottawa, I could conceivably come up with the following variants:
Otterwa
Ottowah
Ottawah
Autoway
Oughtowa
Luckily, none of them look right, so I would never have to explain why I don’t know how to spell the name of the Canadian capitol city. Although it does me no good when i try to spell
Saskatchewen. If that’s the correct spelling, I must be channeling a Canadian.
Capital city. A capitol is a building, or occasionally a group of buildings.
Where’s the Grammar Nazi when we need him?
I dunno, but I’m the soi-dissant Apostrophe Nazi™, and I declare this thread apostrophically pure (so far).
