I remember in Chicago seeing Canadian geese around the suburbs all the time...haven’t seen any of those honking little fuckers in years.

You know how the 4th of July you guys get drunk, stay up late and fire off massive fireworks?

After 2 cans of Molson we quietly go to bed at reasonable time, ensuring we don't make any noise that would disturb our neighbors.

I mean sure, it’s within our borders...but I think if you polled most people, we’d probably vote to change that.

Used to fish there as a kid, my dad’s buddy was the conservation officer, and as such I never fished with a licence till I was about 30.

the ‘u’ should be included in a thread about C anada.  In keeping with that: napkins are called serviettes, the couch is called a chesterfield, and Bonneville is pronounced “parisienne”

Going to the Shuswap to enjoy the lake before it turns into this..

I might be too late.

Lots of fish there in the 80's as I recall.  And everybody seemed to have an old Bombardier (Bom-BA-deer) in their backyard.

Still lots of fish there, some years are naturally better/worse than others but it’s always a good time. Even if it’s a slow year you just drop down to the Saskatchewan river and catch more fish in an hour than you can count. A few years back we had an outstanding year, 7 master angler Walleye between the three guys in our boat alone, the other three boats in our grou p did very similar.

Geese are tough bastards. I don’t believe in hitting animals, but when those fuckers came charging after me I felt no guilt  in trying to sm ack them down.

They got their revenge, however. We cooked up one of them for Christmas dinner and it was simultaneously dry yet greasy, and seriously stringy. Never again.

Sure, the doughnuts weren’t great, but it was someplace different. The breakfast sandwiches were pretty decent though. There’s always Krispy Kreme, but none are close by. And various independent shops, but their hours are usually quite limited.

I miss Randy’s Donuts, which was just up the street from where I lived in Los Angeles. I’d driven past there for years before finally stopping in at a friends insistence, and damn, if those weren't some of the best donuts I'd tasted. And I moved 1800 miles away just a month before they moved the Space Shuttle right past my old place. That would have been a sight to see...

You haven’t experienced salt flats until you’ve seen them also in Canadian french!

I’ll travle several kill-o-meet-rays in my Nissan Micra to a hospital in New York because I wasn’t on the waiting list for health care in Ontario. How about you?

On behalf of the rest of Ontario, sit the fuck down until the Jay’s make the playoffs. Then we can all be friends again... until hockey season starts.
