    You have no clue buddy. Enjoy your life of ignorance while others just sit back and calmly smile.

    Hi Brad,
    I hope all is fine with you.
    Since you think I have no clue, please tell me where I am wrong. By the way I am sitting here enjoying life calmy sitting back getting ready to crank up some tunes this morning. I love cranking tunes in the morning! And if some bad guy interupts my session I have the right to neutralize him/her. I hope you don't take too much of this too serious. I know you live in Canada and enjoy squealing but save it for your fellow Canadians.

    For those of you who never got the whole metric thing - that is -40F to 104F.

    Everything is metric up there..... :D

    The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

    We get a Canadian infection every summer here in NJ. Seems all those crazy Canuckleheads just LOVE the Jersey Shore!

    Canada is a snazzy place I suppose but honestly, I've met too many Canadians with an air of superiority about them concerning the United States to believe most of what's been said in this thread so far. Maybe it's just me, I dunno but I've been around Canadians alot. From working with their navy and coast guard at my old job to meeting Canadian tourists in NJ and up where my sister lives in Vermont, more than a few have given me a bad experience.

    As far as Canada itself, yeah, the government is a little messed up and things aren't as rosy as they seem up there but one things is for sure, it's God's country up there. A good portion is pristine wilderness unspoiled by man. A great place to get the hell away from everybody else for a while.

    It's ok, you're pretty clueless about NJ too even though you actually live here.

    No 'cause the Kaiser took all of our onions and made us wear garlic instead. But back in those days, we didn't call it garlic 'cause the Kaiser stole all of our g's so we called it frunions.

    Gravy for french fries, essentially.

    Wikipedia :
    Poutine is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients. The freshness of the curds is important as it makes them soft in the warm fries, without completely melting.

    It's good stuff. Just make sure those cheese curds are fresh otherwise the will do a number on your innards.

    I like it covered in black pepper too.

    Poutine!!!! Can't stand the stuff and I'm a Quebecer. Me and my wife ate poutine 20 years ago, I took one bite and threw the stuff in the garabage. She threw up later. Haven't touched it since and never will.

    Curds has to be short for curdles right? Curdles are stuff that has curdled right?

    Slice that Canadian bacon thin enough and it's okay, but you can't slice curdled anything thin enough for me to want to put it in my mouth. Those French fries must be fairly bad if you've got to dress them up with that stuff. I only like salt on fries.

    I like cocktail sauce on mine. Something with the horseradish mixed with lemon juice, and worschester (sp) sauce and ketchup mixes very well with fries.

    Curds were ok for Little Miss Muffet. Apparently she had a bad case of arachnophobia though.

    maybe..but aren't their only like 10 murders a year in Canada? Hell my city has 10 a month.

    plus Canada has more holidays and a better hot chick to ugly chick ratio:D
    at least it seemed that way when I used to travel there for work a lot.

    You're from MN? Seriously? No, Seriously? Canada has hot chicks? Have you been to Miami or Los Angelos? How about Chicago? OR even Columbus, OH on the OSU campus mid-summer? Some of the hottest women you can find on the Continent.

    I thought I would revive this thread to honor our great friends up north on their Thanksgiving Day. Here's hoping Canada starts building secret nuclear silos so we can invade them and finally add that extra star to our flag.

    A star is preferable to a hammer and sickle but not nearly as good as a maple leaf.;)
