Title: CANADIANs!!?? Let me ask you a question
Post by: TadMC on July 01, 2006, 05:07:57 PM
Do you guys actually watch the CFL (Candadian Football League)

I've been watching it on TV recently and hey,  they aint too bad.

also,  whats its like in Canada.  Does the water in the toilet bowl flush down the opposite way.  Is it true that maple syrup's you guys number 1 gross national product.

Oh and Canadians, you dont have to answer the last 2 questions

Did you know that spreading Maple Syrup on your genitals turns you into a super hero, Frank Zappa said it so it must be true. (Studebaker Hoch?)

I once chugged 24 ounces of Aunt Jemima, which isn't REAL maple syrup, but close enough. It made me a super-hero. My powers, you ask? Projectile Vomiting, what else?

I don't watch CFL. It doesn't seem to be that popular, they're almost giving away the tickets usually to get people to go to games.

Canada is the same as the USA for the most part, and most of us live close to the American border.
In canada it is rare that someone actually has a toilet like you folks use in USA, we use mainly out-houses that we build beside our teepees and igloos in the winter.
Maple syrup is more or less a tourist thing, yes we have it and make it (so does some places in the usa too) but it is about as common in our diets as it is in the american diet. (pancakes maybe, and maple cookies). In the summer we mainly hunt beavers in order to trade beaver pelts for dogsleds and such items needed to navigate the frozen tundra in the winter.

Damnit mike_mike, ironically my outhouse caved in last week with my Aunt Jemima inside! She's built like a brick sh!t house and has a bit of an ass on her but I wasn't expecting the whole building to sink into the ground like that. I had the generator going and was brewing some tea when I heard the explosion. Anyway, I ordered all new supplies from Home Hardware and building starts next weekend -- should have it done by the time the frost hits in August.

I don't watch CFL on purpose, but I live near the stadium where the Calgary Stampeders play, so I hear more than my fair share of it. They seem to be popular, lots of traffic on game days.

When not mending outhouses and guzzling maple syrup, our Canadian brethren gather at Tim Horton's for donuts and to watch CFL games.  It's like a sports bar, but they serve donuts with the beer.

Do not make fun of our northern brothers and sisters:  they are the only decent people left in North America (except for some GS Twinners).  Remember, "rude Canadian" is an oxymoron!   :icon_lol:

All I know is that the team here is consistently mediocre. So its like being a vikings fan, I feel right at home.  Nobody really cares though, hockey is all that matters.

I had some Timmy's on sunday. Those raspberry filled donut holes are addicting as hell.

HEAR! HEAR!  I heartily agree.  Up until their last election, they even had intelligent government.  I was in Saskatoon in November and ending up in an hour-long political discussion with a grad student who was more informed about US politics than almost anyone I've talked to in the US.

I've been in several other countries in the past year and "Greatest Country on Earth" has a distinctly hollow (and false) ring to it these days for me.  If Canada were warmer I'd be a Canadian already.

Happy July Fourth.  Hopefully our American freedoms and respect gradually return someday...
