Why Can't I Own a Canadian?

Sheesh, animators? Computer-generated models?
Reality is much more low tech. Count Floyd has a 2x4 nailed to his back so he can stay upright…

That’s just what everyone tells you. They trot out the prosthesis at the interviews and media events and no-one is the wiser. But the CGI model is the one you see on the news.

We’re being polite and trying to use common terms that 'Murkins will have heard of. It can get a lot 133ter than this, my southern friend.

“Hey, throw that 2-4 and the mickeys in the back and we’ll grab a couple of double-doubles on the way out to the cabin. Are you bringing your bunny-hug? It’s gonna be chilly on the tote road up to PA.”

Um… what’s a tote road?

It’s what the guys in the Bancroft tuxedos drivin’ the skidders and dozers built. [sub]I think[/sub]

Hey, you got hydro up there?

If you really wanted to make money owning Canadians, you had to get into it early when good breeding stock was available cheap. Now it is nothing more than a pyramid scheme, the only way to make money is to get more people to buy your bred Canadians. Shearing them once a year does not offset the daily maintenence cost.

Heh. I bought some hand-dyed silk yarn from a Canadian company and the hank was labelled ‘Two Four’ both because it’s 200 grams/400 meters and with an explanation about beer. Any country where they can find a way to work beer references into yarn sales is good with me.

There’s no hydro in PA. You gotta go to Winterpeg or Ontariario and points east for hydro. :slight_smile:

Well, I’ve been screeched in, drank from a boot, eaten seal meat from a can, and if I laid on the accent you wouldn’t be able to understand me. Oh, and to add to it, I was taught to jig by a Cape Bretoner.

ETA: And flipper pie, by jaysus. I’d tried to block it out all of these years.

YOU ATE FLIPPER?!

No wonder they canceled the show.

Dweeb.

And in TBay, ON: shags.

We were just talking about that at lunch. Being from Southern Ontario, we called those something else.

Even Cancuks deserve more respect than that! :mad:

Cancuks? We don’ need no stinkin’ Cancuks!

I’ve written for the man. I know what the CTV colours actually stand for.

2x4.
