And another thing...

God love them.

Rick Mercer does this "Thing" on This hour has 22 minutes, its a Canadian thing. He goes to the states and talks to people about things that are NOT happening in Canada, to show really that Americans have no idea what is going on North of the border. This is taken from NETcetera..... He tells people that these things happened and asks them to comment or congratulate. Too funny.

My Ten Favorite "TALKING TO AMERICANS."
by Rick Mercer (with my coments in brackets)

10) In Chicago: "Congratulations Canada on having running water in all five states."

9) In Washington, D.C.: "Congratulations Canada on your first national railroad."

8) In Washington, D.C.: "Congratulations Canada on 268 consecutive days of snow."

7) At Harvard: "Yes, I believe the seal slaughter should be stopped in Saskatchewan." (he actually had a professor saying this)

6) In Chicago: "Congratulations Canada on making Beaver Balls your national dish."

5) At Mount Rushmore: "Congratulations Canada, our Eskimo neighbours to the South, on your new Mount Mulroneyuk." (he also had most of them convinced that they were going to sculpt the ass end of all those presidents on the other side of the mountain)

4) Governor of Arkansas: "Congratulations Canada on preserving your national igloo." (my personal favorite, this one made me piss my pants, he told the Governor that our Parliment building was made of ice and with global warming we had to put a huge dome over it so it wouldn't melt.)

3) In New York: "Yes, I think Jean Chretien-Pinochet should be charged with crimes against humanity." (Jean Chretien is our PM)

2) In New York: "Yes, I think it is time to bomb Gilles Duceppe." (he's the Bloc Quebecois Leader)

1) Texas Governor George W. Bush: I'm glad to have the support of Prime Minister Jean 'Poutine.' (he caught him in the hallway heading out of a press conference, btw for those of you who don't know, poutine is a dish of french fries with gravey and cheese curds)

And now for the fine print.

DISCLAIMER: Views and opinions expressed in this blog are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of my employer or former employer or former employer's employer. (confusing enough?) In fact, I am pretty sure they are the complete polar opposite. You may think you know my employer or former employer, but unless you work/worked with me, I assure you that you do not.

Names are changed to protect the imbecilic (not enough so is that your co-workers will not recognize you in a heartbeat). Be advised that facts may be blown out of any recognizable proportion for the purpose of humour or if I happen to be in a crappy mood that day.

If I quote someone I usually spice it up a little to make it funnier or more often than not I have to clean up the grammar since not everyone is as articulate as me? I? You know what I mean. Fuck off, this is my blog. Just remember, it may or may not be a direct quote.

However, rest assured that if you say something completely retarded in my presence I will blog it 'verbatim' and you will be henceforth and herewithin referred to as crayon. (had to add a little legalese)

In closing, Fuck off if you can't take a joke.
