My first question is why is a bloke from Texas (Sapper740) glorifying something Canadian. Is he an ex. Pat and if so, why?

CMPs - Canada may have made them but we've got them all here now, and beautifully modified by our coach builders.

Smoked salmon - we're swimming in them, all from our pristine watersand the best in the world. Ours are so good we actually reject the ones John West accepts.

Grizzly bears - who needs them.

Molson's Berweries - Who? ever heard of Fosters and Bazza McKenzie.

Dust storms - we use them to sandblast our over-abundance of CMPs.

Good morning gentlemen, I see you've been busy in my absence! I have a few comments to make regarding our thoroughly enjoyable repartee. As you've probably all guessed, I'm an ex-patriate yet thoroughly proud Canuck. I served with the Canadian Military Engineers and loved every minute of it. As for living in Texas...Geoff got it partially right, southern women are tremendously sexy; demure, yet passionate when you get them in the boudoir! There are a few other reasons for living here and with your permission I'll list them:

Weather...it's only mid March and already the temp. is in the mid 80's

Taxes....I pay about 21% income tax

Gun control.....here, gun control is about hitting your target. I have a Concealed Handgun licence so if I run into any bad actors, I can present them with a serious dilema. Texas is also a Class 3 state, so I can take my full auto Bren gun to the range any time.

The never ending debate about Quebec separation: The only Quebecois here are in Florida where they are thoroughly hated and mocked constantly on the local radio. What is it about fat frenchmen and speedos anyway?

Now, before I sound too down on Canada, which I'm not, I want you all to know I thoroughly miss the CBC, Don Cherry and Coach's Corner, and Hockey night in Canada broadcasts. I miss the Tragically Hip who never get airplay here. I miss playing rugby, the 2nd greatest sport ever! At this point I'd like to compliment Australia for their wonderful blend of rugby and a mosh pit at a rock concert. (whatever happened to Jacko any way?) By the way, my Aussie friends...lovely shot of that aircraft, does it matter which wing tip you hold when you toss it?



Honi soit qui mal y pense!

Cheemo!
