Ahhh Canadian Tire money, who doesnt have many or any.

I wish McDonald's would follow suit but the old saying is their to dumb to know anything, do anything.

As for some ppl who never been to Canada, I'm getting tired of the question, what do you ppl do when your igloo melts, do you live in wood huts? no smarty pants, is disneyland your home away from home?

Yeah, funny how some of you dont even know about your own history, let alone what we do in Canada.

Thats ok, I forgive you, since you dont pray in schools anymore, the color of your money is boring and easy to burn, clean effciently than to burn a US Flag but then thats retarded, thinking you have better things to do with your time.

And I know this will piss you off but hey its ok I understand, your burnt out and need a new job or a vacation.

Windsong, I can almost never tell what the hell you're talking about....

You go on about stupid Americans, prayer in school, flag burning! (two issues near and dear to many American hearts)

But wasn't it an American that posted these trivia points? I didn't notice him asking about wood huts or igloos..???

What in the hell is the matter with you? If you have a beef...come out with it....

If you don't know that/why flag burning and prayer in schools are vital issues for defining what it means to be American then you shouldn't talk about anyone being ignorant of Canada.

I've spent quite a bit of time in Canada...love it...I'm glad you are not a good representation of it's people....

Sorry for the rant all...I usually don't respond to these type of statements...but this one got under my skin....I must be burnt out.

Wow, someone can't take a joke. You can take stuff this seriously when some craptastic TV channel makes a show "about" your area, but fails at basic grammar by putting a "The" in front of the initials [screw you Fox].

If you have a beef...come out with it....

You got beef?

[DwayneEMTP]

I don't claim to be the brightest bulb in the box...perhaps I did miss the joke...but I don't see any humor in that post...

I don't know what you mean by the rest of your post...

[TerrfyinFlyinSrvc]

Well, I don't know as I'd brag about Celine Dion :-#

You drink Pop, not Soda.

Pop is also a regionalism in scattered spots down here, sometimes pronouned as a So-dee Pop.

I did know about the shuttle arm, but I am a bit of a space freak.

Canadian, eh? I didn't know that!!

[windsong]

I never said Americans were stupid, I happen to like the american history way better than canada's, to many french names.

My reality is just different than yours,

[MedicDude]

I had a good chuckle when I read these... Most apply directly to me, except for the "bragging about celine dion" part! As far as I'm concerned, you Americans can have her! And as a matter-of-fact, I don't have Canadian Tire money in my kitchen drawers-- it's in my sock drawer!

You got beef?

WTF was that? LOL.

I'd like to tell a little story about an American you all know :evil2: who was recently in Canada. He thought the Canadian tire money I had lying all over my car (I'm a slob) was Canadian currency. LMAO!

[emtannie]

Eric, I loved your post - I thought it was hysterical.....

And Hammer, you are right.....I don't want to claim Celine Dion either.....but I do kinda like Mike Myers........and my Canadian Tire money is all over the floor of my car too!

Thanks again, Eric - appreciated the laugh.
