Well being 1/2 canadian myself, I am going to take my cue from MT3K with this lovely little song:

Crow: "Oh I wish I was living int he land that gave us Peter Jennings, Allanis Morrisette, Mike Myers too.
No I take that back, I would go there, even if you paid me.
Oh Cananda you're a place I must festoon!

Nelson: Oh wish I was stuck in the hills of Alberta, with some big dumb, guy trapping fur.
As he scraped and he chistled all the moose dung of his boots.
I would that he's the prime minister

Tom Servo: Oh I wish I was blowing up prince Edward Island, and going onto bomb Ontario.
The destruction of Canada and all of it's culture, is by far my favorite senario.
Just where the hell does Canada get off sharing a boarder, with countries far superior to it.
Why you lousy mounty, Franco, ham Bacon lovin' bastards.
Your countries just a giant piece of SH!T!"

We give Americans all sorts of Celebrities we don't want like Celine, Alanis, and Shatner.

Plus we made the Canadarm that is putting together your expensive space station.

Actually that last word is "eschew." And the "Franco" bit is "francophonic." Never let it be said the MST writers didn't write very literate abuse.

"And then the drunk guy says 'I can't help being an idiot--I'm Canadian'!"

But many of the Canadian teams have moved to the United States in recent years.

Even Canadians can't stand Canada.

They gave us that wacky ABCNEWS World News Now duo of Thalia Assuras and Kevin Newman.

Sadly, when Peter Jennings discovered he wasn't the only Canadian at ABCNEWS, he had them fired.

Let's see...
A group of my friends got beat up by Yukon punks. (I left the bar 15 minutes before the melee.)

I got searched for 5 hours during a border crossing once. (They found nothing, as there was nothing to find...)

I wish it was an open border.

South Park movie reference. The USA goes to war with Canada because of a naughty movie created by Terrance and Phillip. In retailiation, Canada bombs the Baldwins.

Or, more to the point, the lyrics to a particular song from the movie.

Visual joke from the South Park flick. Refers to the way all Canadian characters were drawn with... flappy heads. Trust me. It was funny.
Jeez. Explaining the joke sure does kill it deader than Julius Caesar.

andi*pandi · Feb 5, 2003, 03:54 PM

two bits is a quarter. I think the joke was more about conversion rates.

maxelson · Feb 5, 2003, 04:06 PM

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades;
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand.
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand.
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing.
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing.
Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays "In the Mood"
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond.
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade,
He knows in a scent, you can bottle all you made.
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston cigarettes.
And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home with needles; needles and pins.

Well EVERYONE knows that the coversion from USD .25 to Canadian is a beavertail.

scottiB · Feb 5, 2003, 04:23 PM

Actually, Canadian quarters work in parking meters--at least the old school, non-LCD ones.

Canada has given us Chilliwack!

Easy tiger. Canadians are renowned for an excellent sense of humour, please learn to use it.

maxelson · Feb 5, 2003, 04:37 PM

Quite a few folks missing the admittedly subtle joke here.
I LOVE Canada. If I didn't love New England more, I'd be living there.
Sheesh... the National Parks ALONE. I wanna go to Banff. Never seen it live and in person.

and people say americans have no sense of humor.

DBursey · Feb 5, 2003, 05:53 PM

Lerkfish, last time I checked we weren't entirely idiot free. The remark was a crude indication of a point missed. More than likely he's a young'un whose sense of subtlety has yet to constitute an overly taxing component of transneural activity.

As for Americans not being funny, well ... most of the wittiest people I know wouldn't give much creedence to such silly generalizations.

(Speaking of silly)

Banff is nice. Algonquin park is gorgeous. Ontario at its finest. Then there's Gros Morne in Newfoundland, a hiker's/backpacker's/kayaker's dream. Want to do fun, safe and inexpensive? Sample the playground that is Canada's east coast (especially during summer

).

I can take a joke, but thrax turned this into an anti-canadian thread. The things he says are not jokes, and he stated that. I'm not pissed at anyone else

I meant the things said in the thread, not the thread itself.

And it's 'humour'

I really dont mind most americans, but if you've noticed alot have been attacking us canadians lately all over the net. It's just getting on my nerves. We dont have to take it up the ass for you guys, just to be allies do we?

I get the jokes here and I appreciate them. I have a cousin who teaches at a college near Toronto.

ShortcutToMoncton · Feb 5, 2003, 07:15 PM

As someone who grew up an hour's drive from Gros Morne and has driven through it, hiked it and boarded it, I definitely recommend.

Newfoundland is beautiful, and the people are the nicest I've ever met. Just be nice and don't get in any fights with the locals. Mad Newfies kick your @ss.

Otherwise, Banff/Jasper. Mmmmmmmm.

You folks posting links and pics of parkland: W.O.W.
Friggin WOW.
And I am blown away EVERY time.
As soon as the youngun is old enough for camping, we KNOW we are headed to the Eastern Coast du Canada. It has been planned for a while. We will start small- campground. Wilderness with a 2 or 3 year old just ain't all that bright.
I mean, I love the White Mountains with a passion. One of my favorite places on Earth- but it is getting WAY too crowded. The tourista population has grown unbelievably in the last 15 years.

LOL! Funny cause it's true. Usually if you ask a Canadian what their national identity, they will no doubt say something like "I don't know, but I'm not American."
