InuYasha - As far as I know,I did NOT rip the text of this post off of any site...

 

D'oh!

Without thinking,I posted this to the Music thread!!! If some moderator-type person would be so kind as to move this to the Misc thread instead,I'd appreciate it!

InuYasha - needs to start paying attention to where he posts things...

 

yay canada

 

Eh

I had written a version of our national anthem (that being O Canada for those of you who didn't know) about why Canada kicks so much, but I'm not going to post it because it makes fun of some people a bit too much in parts. On the other hand, we Canadians are know to be funny, and good musicians, so it couldn't be all bad. Nonetheless, no song for you.

My name is Zanshi, and I am Canadian!
Je m'appelle Zanshi, et je suis canadien!

 

I like Canada. They gave us the Barenaked Ladies and Kids in the Hall and expressions like "take off!" You guys rule.

Yay!

St. Pierre, the goalie for women's hockey, goes to McGill, my sister's school!
On a side note, my favorite expression is: "Kick a$$ and chew bubble gum" I had a football game one day and I bought bubble gum just so I could actually kick a$$ and chew bubble gum!
Canadia brought the world closer together with its non-violent way of saying, "Eh, it's okay!"

 

You know, I've lived in Canada for seventeen years and I still don't know what a hoser is ... I never even heard the phrase "take off" used in that context until I saw Strange Brew last December ... Does this make me less of a Canadian? Then again, I do actually know the lyrics to O Canada ... but really, that makes me less Canadian ... worthless anitpatriotic majority ... it's just wrong how much of our country doesn't know it's own national anthem.

 

jaja...

O Canada
Our big wide empty land
We look to Americans
For a helping hand
With bannock bread
And cariboo eggs
La la true north strong and cold!
O Canada
We are on top
We are close to...
The north pole!
Fermez la bouche!
Mangez poutine!
O CAANADDAAA
A lovely win-ter dreeaaaammm...

O CANADA

LA LA LA LA
...LAAA...


pardon moi if I spelled anything incorrectly!

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Okay,I guess I should explain myself here...

First off,I want to say that this thread was intended to present the results of the Olympic hockey final in a humorous way,and meant no offense to our Neighbors to the North. Unfortunately,it seems to have been misplaced.

That said,I want to congratulate Team Canada for winning the gold in both men's and women's ice hockey this year. Both teams played superbly in their final games,and deserved to win.

Better late than never,ne?

Re: jaja...

Let's see what I can do with this one ...

First off, Canada's NOT empty. Only Saskatchewan and Manitoba are.
Secondly, it seems to me that it is the Americans who look to us for backup, and that the nations have a mutually-dependant relationship, whether good ol' Dubya wants to admit it or not.
I've never heared the word "bannock" before in my life ...
Caribou don't lay eggs. They're mammals related to deer.
Much of Canada is temperate, so it's only cold half the year. Our southernmost point (Point Pelee, Ontario) is parallel to parts of California, and if you go directly south from Detroit, Michigan, guess what you hit? Windsor, Ontario, CANADA.
Actually, the magnetic north pole is part of Canada.
Ferme tu bouche, then we'll talk about mine.
Poutine is only heavily eaten in Quebec, and they're only about as Canadian as Thanksgiving in November, Uncle Sam and the New York Yankees (sorry if I offended and Quebecois in the audience).
Believe me, winters here are far from "lovely winter dream"s, but you'll get things just as bad in the USA.

That's all I have ... for now.
