But seriously, I have heard that moosies think that pumpkins are Delish, and if you provide a nicely-decorated jack-o-lantern for them, they may step inside your house to politely ask if you have another.

Alas, it appears that this thread has derailed... the likely result of striking a moose...


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Nonsense! Everyone knows that Canada has gone metric!

On paper, yes. In practice though we flip flop, using whichever system can confuse the listeners the most.

Melancton sees cash in documentation:

If someone had only had a video camera going, I am certain you would have won the $100,000 prize, especially if you could have strung together the multiple instances.

So I guess you will just have to be satisfied with still being in one piece.
Ha, yes, I will content myself to not having had a mudhole stomped in me by a three-quarter ton beast!

And an herbivore, too! How embarrassing!


Dec out.

And to confuse us even more, you just make measurements up, laugh and put "Imperial" in front of it.

It's the little things that make life worth living.

That's the big problem, actually; I spent six months in Japan last year. When I wanted to run an event with my SG I had to get up early in the morning, and when I was on the evening, it was early morning in the States. I ended up playing with lots of Aussies.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

At least in Canada, when you ask for a coke, you get a coke, no one asks you what flavour of coke you want. :P

Wheat bread as well... What is white bread made from? Bacon?

I never leave home without them. Whenever I visit the States I leave them in the Snowshoe Hut at the border, guarded by a special team of Mounties.

Aha! I was born a Brit and did not move to Canada until I was 12. Oh wait...we were metric before Canada. Hmm...I have also been in Canada for 30 years, 20 of them a citizen...dammit I am going to stick with the fact that I am an ornery Brit at heart!

Shush, The first rule of being Canadian is to keep the neighbours guessing! The second is to deny the above. The third is...

No, I think crazy would be right.

I worked in Brampton for a time and feared for my life. Although that could have been because the warehouse I was working in was scheduled for demolition.

Heh, I'm looking at moving Brampton-ward in about a year, though that largely depends on where this office ends up moving to before then <)_<)

Could be worse, coulda been Bowmanville. Even people from the 'shwa make fun of Bowmanville. Besides, Pickering is like a nice respectable gated community compared to Brampton.

One of the guys in the office was trying to get his sister and brother-in-law to pick up a jar while they were on holiday in Florida. Sadly - or luckily - they couldn't find it.
