Things Canadians are proud of...
« on: April 23, 2005, 05:27:32 pm »
Here are reasons why it's so great to be Canadian!

Things Canadians are proud of...

Smarties.

Crispy Crunch.

Coffee Crisp.

The footballs and fields are bigger, and we have one less Down.

Lacrosse is Canadian.

Hockey is Canadian.

Basketball is Canadian.

The biggest flags ever seen/flown at any Olympics were Canadian... The second time it was smuggled in because they made a rule against it cause of the first time.

Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass.

Much Music kicks MTV's ass.

Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths ass (...don't know about Aunt Jemima though).

Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin Donuts ass.

Waaaay better beer commercials/contests and beer company give a ways. Example: the Molson Canadian House Party...where you get to keep the house. Trashed or not.

In the war of 1812, we pushed the Americans so far back... passed their 'White House', burned it...and most of Washington. We got bored because they ran away so we came home and partied. Go figure.

Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.

The largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war.

The Canadian Civil War was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.

We don't marry our kin-folk.

We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, the long distance and short wave radios that save countless lives each year.

Oh yeah...and the handles on beer cases big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.

We've ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.

We can out drink Americans in a heart beat!!

Our elections take only one day.

*well, you asked for it, eh*

Re-electing the Liberal Party over and over again so that rampant corruption and kickbacks can take place with Ad firms in Quebec.  J'inn would be so proud.

*don't think everyone in the US don't know about the most corrupt gov't. in Canadian history that Canadians are eager to re-elect over and over again*

Have a good day in Canada where the Liberal party considers your tax money to be their money, eh?!

For sure, eh?!

Just follow stinking smell.

In his testimony, ad executive Jean Brault took the sponsorship inquiry on a dark journey of alleged political corruption, the likes of which Canadians have never seen.


:rofl:

Now, you can go design a D2 dyna campaign. Just don't involve any Liberal party brown nosing Ad firms, OK?

I AM AMERICAN...
I'm not particularly intelligent, open-minded, or generally well-liked.

I don't live in a clean place, I don't eat nutritiously very often, and I don't drive well.

I don't know Shakespeare, Da Vinci or Gutenberg.

Although I'm certain they weren't American.

I drink beer.....not good beer. I don't use utensils when eating.

I believe in guns for settling disputes, not discussions.

And I pronounce it AIN'T, not AREN'T.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack

...until I go anywhere, and what's the point in doing that.

Burger King IS fine dining. Cracker Jack IS a vegetable and WWF wrestling is real.

The UNITED STATES is the ONLY country in the world,

The FIRST nation of ignorance, and the BEST part of South America!

My name is Johnny Bob Jimmy Joe Ray...

...AND I AM AMERICAN!

 I keep my Lie-beral bashing to the hot and spicy. Yankee bashing now, well that is a cross-forum multi-cultural thing....

Just kidding, I love you Yankee's like the mentally challanged little brother I never had!

TT...while I appreciate your nationalism with the utmost respect...such posts are really off topic to this specific forum...

I mean no disrespect when I ask that such off topic posts be placed in the appropriate forums in the future...

While I clearly understand the desire to connect with fellow SFC players on social issues...this forum is not necessarily the correct place to do so...a lot of game specific information flows on this forum...and it should be as uncluttered as possible.....for gamers needs...

A posted thread in the appropriate forum and a posted link from this one would be the desired procedure...and thus...people would respond where the thread was posted...

I certainly dont mean to "get all moderator" on your butt......but the goal for these forums is to be self moderating...as such...the above is a simple request for forum synconicity...not a directive.

Thanks.

PS...we keep a case of hockey pucks at each canadian border station in case of canadian invasion...the theory is to throw the pucks out and distract the troops  ;D

Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass.

Quote
Ernie Coombs was born in Lewiston, Maine on November 26, 1927. He studied commercial art but an interest in theatre led to painting scenary. In the earlier part of his career, he worked with Pittsburgh Miniature Theatre, a touring children's theatre, and at WQED-TV. In 1963, he met Fred Rogers and came with Fred to Canada to work as a puppeteer on Mr Rogers. When Rogers returned to the United States the following year, Coombs hosted Butternut Square where he played the popular Mr. Dressup. In 1967, the CBC decided to give Mr. Dressup his own show which was a hit with children, airing every weekday morning for the next 30 years. Coombs became a Canadian citizen in 1994. He received the Earle Grey Award for excellence in TV in 1994, a Gemini award for best performance in a children's program, and the Order of Canada in 1996. Coombs retired from Mr. Dressup in 1996 where afterwards he performed charity work, appeared in theatrical productions for children and made personal appearances around the country for all his fans, young and old.

James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891. James Naismith  was born in Almonte, Ontario and educated at McGill University and Presbyterian Cllege in Montreal. He was the physical education teacher at McGill University (1887 to 1890) and at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts (1890 to 1895). At Springfield College (which was then the Y.M.C.A. training school), James Naismith, under the direction of American phys-ed specialist Luther Halsey Gulick, invented the indoor sport of basketball.

TraumaTech.. get your facts streight.. Yes the inventor was Canadian, but he had to get US Visa and help from a US University in Massachusettes, and help from an American PE Specialist in order to create it.. as such, the sport is American in origin.

"You still don't get it, do you?......That's what he does. That's all he does! You can't stop him! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!"

Basketbal schmasketball!!

I want to know the relative thong-to-babe ratio in Montreal vs. Washington.

The the results of any relative thong removal transaction costs study would be helpful as well.

Thank you.
