Canada Misconceptions about Canada

Sorry anout the he she mix-up...it's fixed.

 

Hey! I am a friend of a friend of a friend of Hayden!! A good friend of mine at the college is from Toronto, and he's good friends with someone who is good friends with Hayden!! He's even seen him!! OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH....hehehe

hey, everyone has to have some claim to fame....mine's just a stretch (but it's all seriously true!)

 

I met and talked to him personally too.

 

*grumblin* everyone always has to do better than me...can't let me have anything for my own...

@ YoungJedi



hehe...j/k

 

Wow...I was just joking about the Hayden sightings a la "office Bob" in the beer comercial.

A bit off the topic, but a cute story. We also spend a week or two in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks). For those of you who don't know, Harrison Ford has a large ranch just outside of Jackson Hole. Anyway, we stopped in a small coffee shop one morning and just had to laugh. Behind the counter was a very large black and yellow sign: No, I haven't seen Harrison Ford, so stop asking!

Well, I thought it was funny...

 

LOL...that is pretty cute...

 

My uncle knows Robert Patrick.

 

Ummm.......who?

 

The actor who plays T-1000 in Terminator 2.

 

You guys are sci-fi geeks and you don't know who Robert Patrick is? Oh my god!

He played the T-1000 on Terminator 2 and he was Scully's new partner on the X-Files.

 

OK...X-files i can understand...i never saw any terminator movie...i don't really like those kinds of movies...

 

Really? T2 was pretty good though. Great special effects. Go ILM!

 

sadly, i'm with STL. i've never watched The Terminator. or even the X-files. i'm very bad at being geeky.

 

LOL, that can be fixed.

 

yeah, but i don't wanna watch those shows/movies. [pouts_and_whine] i'm just a stupid un-geek [/pouts_and_whines]

 

But it's a really cool movie!

 

well, maybe i will watch it. but not anytime soon.

 

"Oh Canada, a great big empty land!
We look to America
For a helping hand!...."

 

Oh Canada!
A great big empty land
We look to America
For a helping hand

With bannock bread
And caribou eggs
The true north
Big and cold

Oh Canada!
We are on top
We?re close to
The North Pole

Fermez la bouche
Mangez poutine
Can-a-da
A lovely winter dream

Oh Canada!
La la la la la laaaaaaa!!!

 

We look to the US for a helping hand? Boy, do you guys have it backward...

 

It's a joke. It's from "Talking to Americans", which is a show that exposes the ignorance of the average American about their northren neighbour. We know that they rely on us for raw materials.

 

LOL what do you mean expose the ignorance of Americans? They knew about the great caribou hunt. You know the one where we kill them with tim bits. after we track them down with one of our two BRAND NEW airplanes. Then ones with the propeller even!

 

Ah, they knew about that? Wow... Maybe we don't give them enough credit. After all, it's not the average American who can tell you what a timbit is...

 

A timbit is the middle of a donut, sold by Tim Horton's.. You can get such kinds as sour cream, sour cream glazed, honey dip, chocolate glazed, lemon filled, powered, powered chocolate glazed, coconut, and some specialty kinds like apple cinnamon...

 

LOL no they didn't know what it was! They thoguht we killed freaking caribou with them! I bet you they thought it was a gun.

Boy do those American's like their guns though.
