Posted: 6/10/2008 12:39:35 AM | Apparently up here we've also clung to the idea that Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is a whole dinner and still call it Kraft Dinner as a result. 
I once mentioned Kraft Dinner online and everyone suddenly claimed they knew I was Canadian.
So..if you are pretending not to be Canadian, never use the term Kraft Dinner. | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/10/2008 12:55:14 AM | Now, now..... don't get your ire up James in SD.

|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/10/2008 2:33:52 PM | To James
Perhaps I was born in the wrong country...... T- ina. Better pack my bags. Personally I think it was a cruel twist of fate my Danish parents responded to an ad in a newspaper in Denmark and ended up in friggin' -40 below weather. It should have palm trees and sand............NO, am not bitter.
Yes, have personal experience about tongues sticking to metal...... not to mention square tires and block heaters. | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/10/2008 6:31:27 PM | A Canadian also invented the toilet seat. Of course, that was only the prototype. An Englishman modified it by adding the hole.
Superman is Canadian? He wasn't too proud of it, apparently. He moved to Krypton to hide the fact. And he only got strong much, much later.
How can you tell when a square tire is flat? When it looks like a trapezoid.
And yes... when exactly DID Germany invade Canada? Never. If they had, today it would be Kanada. And the beer would be better. "Und zen you voke up, jawohl?"
Block heaters... aka "toques".
Glass Slipper 11 is cool. :0)
p.s. Two of my favorite musical artists are Rush and Gordon Lightfoot. And for comedy, nothing beats SCTV! | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/10/2008 8:07:44 PM | Well, as a Canadian, I have to add a few of the things i hate about Canada
1. It doesn't matter what country Baseball, Hockey, Lacross and Basketball was created in, we still lose every year.
2. During the winter, we have to call in the army.
3. We fight our wars with plastic forks & knives.
4. 25% of our country wants to leave
5. The other 75% doesn't care
6. Our film industry is crap - I watch American film
7. Our TV industry is crap - I watch American TV
8. If I don't skate, I'm an outcast.
9. We have to go to Buffalo to get a deal.
10. Everyone hates Toronto - Even some of the people that live here.
11. We make some of the most talented people in the world and watch them go to the US.
12. Starbucks kicks both Dunkin Donuts and Tim Horton's ass.
13. The Green party may have a chance in the near future.
14. We give our resources away.
15. Less than one person per square kilometre.
16. I still have to translate to inches and pounds.
17. We know more about the US than about us.
18. The only two people who can pull off a moustache - Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds are American, not Canadian.
19. Keanu Reeves performed Hamlet in Manitoba.
20. We gave our 8 football teams 7 names.
21. The plural of the Toronto hockey team doesn't make sense.
22. In Toronto there is an Avenue Road.
23. There are no bombs exploding in our National Anthem. | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/11/2008 10:48:04 AM | | mm2k... you are a terrible canadian. You dont understand what it means to be Canadian. That and you live in Toronto.. so you basicly already are American.just move to amaerica and get it over and done with. We canadians will stay here and do what we do best. Drink beer, get high, and party! | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/11/2008 2:54:27 PM | We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone
Ski-doo's........ Wow you got that one right! Invented by Joseph-Armand Bombardier from Quebec.
The Jet-Ski was invented by Clayton Jacobson II , a banker from Arizona. The Bombardier Corporation (Ski-Doo) helped him to develop the idea.
George de Mestral, the inventor who patented Velcro was Swiss.
Elias Howe, the inventor of the zip fastener was American, born in Spencer, Massachusetts.
Insulin is a natural hormone and was not 'invented' by anyone. It was, however, discovered by a Canadian, Dr. Frederick Banting
Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming, a Scot.
Frank Zamboni was born in Utah and developed the Zamboni when he lived in Southern California.
The inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, was Scottish. | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/11/2008 4:02:55 PM | | Although we all know how much talent has come from Canada.......and left. I think I need to interject the fact that the space arm was invented in Canada for NASA. | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/11/2008 8:13:35 PM | Frank Zamboni was born in Utah and developed the Zamboni when he lived in Southern California. Maybe he got the idea in Canada, though. "Hey, look at that ice! Wouldn't it be great to have a machine that could make it smoother..."
Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish. To be fair, though... perhaps he invented the telephone because he wanted to call a friend in Canada.
Speaking of NASA, I understand the Challenger had quite a few Canadian parts...
"Yeah, James... the only ones that worked." =P
And as George Carlin pointed out, hockey is not a sport because it's not played with a ball. It's played with a "puck", which looks like one of those things they use to freshen urinals. :D | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/11/2008 10:31:14 PM | ^^^^^^^^^
How interesting about Zamboni, I didn't know there was a man behind the name of the machine.
On the George Carlin note, I think he has incredible wit on paper. Don't spend 80 dollars to see him live. | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/12/2008 12:16:22 PM | born in scotland but developed the phone in canada.
first long distance phone call was from brantford ontario to paris ontario...i know cause I used to live there :P | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/12/2008 1:32:28 PM | | dbobdavidson, I'm Canadian and I don't drink, do drugs, or party. This is a responsible Canadian chickie and proud to be | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/12/2008 7:14:40 PM | We invented Leonard Cohen, we live on 1% of our land, our land has magic powers (Moncton's Magnetic Hill Park), santa claus pays his property taxes to our Goverment.  | |
|
| CANADIAN.... Eh!
Posted: 6/12/2008 11:45:00 PM | | Although it's not unique to have a video game developer or two in a country, Canada has Ubisoft and Bioware. They made games like Neverwinter Nights, Stars Wars KOTR, and Splinter Cell/Tom Clancey games. | |
