I Am Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Page 8

Its kinda sad. Canada's Navy (in WWII) was one of the largest and most effective.

Wait, I don't think we're under US command in Afghanistan. General Rick Hillier takes orders from an American? Or does he work with Americans, sometimes carrying out American objectives?

We did go to Afghanistan to support Americans, so working towards their objectives would make sense I guess.

No silly, that's beavers. And there's five of them.

And you are retreating from what? A few squirrels and some angry beavers? Shame on you! You oughta be able to make at least one hat out of that rabble!

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-21-2006, 02:15 PM

You Canadians might start pelting acorns at me. Those things are hard.

The last sane person · 04-21-2006, 02:29 PM

Oh come now...Its not even the season!

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-21-2006, 02:34 PM

You could come down to Californee and get some of ours. Ever since I got here, there have been ripe orange on the tree year round; while I haven't studied the matter, I imagine acorns can be found quite easily, as well.

The last sane person · 04-21-2006, 02:35 PM

Nor have I. But whatever, I'd chuck squirrels at you, they cling and do more damage.

This has happened to Spiderman before.

Hahahha! Although, that squirrel is slightly distrubing. And it looks like a marmoset though.

Pretty much, eh. We're currently in charge of the Afghani UN force... it takes at least 4 full-sized squirrels of power to run the UN

At least that's what I was taught.
It's different in the States?

Good way to get someone killed.

Blinking green means that you've got a protected left turn. Oncoming traffic has a red light.

OK...haven't been on in a bit, saw this and thought to jump in.

I'm in Montreal, Quebec

Yes...I'm French, and a Mohawk...but don't hold that against me

Hey mirrille, VANCOUVER PRIDE

I hail from east van.

By the way, I just figured out that Canada's navy is now three noodles in a soup bowl

BeardofPants · 04-22-2006, 08:03 PM

Begs the question - which is more scary : being humped by 3 rabid humping squirrels, or being slapped with a cold wet noodle?

Whereabouts? I grew up in Coquitlam, but lived most of my adult life around Commercial Drive.

I support what they're doing, but this is sad news.

coquitlam sucks

i went to school in poco, right down the street from the pickton farm but grew up in MR

**Nurvingiel** · 04-23-2006, 09:46 PM

Yay Vancouver! MR is Maple Ridge for you non-lower mainlanders.

I live in Kitsilano, though I'm right about to move. I just went to Richmond to take a First Aid course. Richmond has these silly banners that actually, in all seriousness, say "Richmond: Better in every way".

(Background is a silouhette of a guy on a bicicle, watching a plane land, with a pretty sunset behind.)

Smarmy lines like that make me think of bad things about the city, though I do like Richmond. I was like "Richmond: Heavy traffic/We can't drive/No one likes living near an airport/Build the RAV already/We can't get flood insurance".

(People from Richmond can, in fact, drive, but they have a bad reputation for poeple driving too fast in heavy traffic and getting impatient etc.)

If I was making promotional banners, I would have said one good thing about the city, like "Richmond: Great sushi/Beautiful views/We have rad malls/Come and do business/Amazing seascapes" you get the idea.

Or if we were doing transit-themed ones...

Vancouver: Running red lights sinces 1972
Richmond: I don't give a damn about my bad reputation (Joan Jett)
Maple Ridge: Well, you can take the train here at least
Langley: The Skytrain doesn't go this far
Abbotsford: What is this "transit" of which you speak? Is that like driving?
Coquitlam: Exit the highway when you see the Ikea
Lions Bay: Where's that?
Horseshoe Bay: Come and take the ferry
Tsawassen: We have the other ferry
White Rock: Close to the ferry
North Vancouver: You can take a city bus to Grouse Mountain!

Good times.

my secret location revealed, you'll pay for this

i like how you only put real cities in there, no port coquitlam, port moody or pitt meadows
