I just couldn't think of any other way to describe it.

How about 30 pounds of bullshit in a 20 pound bag?

That would make her extremely anorexic though.

She doesnt have a body. That is being used as an earthmover by CanTrans on Canada-1. They need a new bridge in Red Deer, so they got the biggest, heaviest thing that they could find to pile earth for the bridge.

The remaining thirty pounds is her brain. Its in a twenty pound jar, and it has a "knitting-body." She knits sweaters for her 150 cats and has a speaker patch that just will not fucking shut up.

Is that why all the bridges in Canada have the stifling stench of cat piss and "Lovely" by Sarah Jessica Parker?

Someone knows where Red Deer is? Are you a secret Canuck Omph?
P.s. Red Deer sucks, perfect place for unwanted people.

My third favorite Canadian destination, after Moose Jaw and Uranium City. Those guys know how to party!

We have a city named Uranium? This is pretty rough if I'm getting schooled by an american! (Are you an amercian? sorry if not). Oh well, we are the second biggest country in the world so I guess I can be forgiven for forgetting a couple of names. (never mind that we only have about twice the population of new york in our entire country, and as such have way fewer cities!)

And you have the longest coastline.

It should be noted however, that what Americans refer too as "Canadian Bacon" is NOT bacon. Nor is it what we call bacon. We call bacon bacon. "canadian bacon" is just a slice of pork. I don't know where they go that idea from, maybe it was our french or something, again, I'm going to look foolish when someone proves otherwise, but I've never heard a canadian call those little round slices of pork bacon.

And we have the north pole. I don't care what anyone says - fuck you Russia. It even has a postal code H0H 0H0 so kids can write to santa (and every single letter gets a response, no joke!)

Slice of pork, canadian bacon, whatever you wanna call it, all I know it's great on pizza

Also, we have poutine. Game set and match

You've also got the best wrestling girls...but the lamest army.

I wonder if someone gets who I'm talking about.

They hold the record for longest sniper kill.

Yes, I know. They still have shit for an army though. Edit: Written before I saw Bryan's post.

Now what's the name of that wuss toy soldier from Worm's who didn't like me making fun of their pitiful army? And I'm getting your girl too! Muahahahahaha!!!

D'you remember the cute Canadian girl with the 2 sisters(triplette?)? She was back on 'Keen as well.

I doubt that was a girl, much less triplets.

As an Australian living in the U.S., this discussion has been most educational.

lover of bacon, whatever the nationality.

I don't think the issue is just funding, but use of the funding. We buy subs that can't submerge while our pilots are dying because our choppers can't stay in the air. I'm not a militaristic person, nor do I support our current goverment. This is the world we live in though, and I understand that we need to have a functional army, especially for our "peacekeeping" efforts.
It is also vitally important that we have the funding to send Tim Horton's Coffee and Doughnut shops over seas to help in those missions. They also bring much needed real bacon. I think they may also have access to some of what the americans call canadian bacon.

Check it out. Im sure its not on the average Canadian's lips. And Ill tell you what I told Hyppo: You are an American, just like I am. "America" is not short for the USA. U.S. is.

Canadian bacon sucks! Bacon without the artery clogging fat clumps. Who the fuck came up with that?

Hey hey hey, slow down there Omph, are you talking about what americans call canadian bacon, or what we call bacon?Them's fighten words if you're tryin to pin those little wheels of pork on us, I swear we didn't do it!

And Canadians are well aware of the fact that the term american applies to us. And Mexico. And Brazil. And so Forth. It's one of the things we poke fun at up here, that not only could the founders not come up with a name for the country, they couldn't come up with a name for the people! Either that or they just didn't feel that anyone else on the continents were worth mentioning, so if someone's talking about an american they're obviously talking about someone from the states! (Hey, I'm not one of the people that says that one, just the part about the not coming up with a name!)

Not that we can talk though. We SPELLED the name of our country wrong.
