We're all a bunch of coffee sucking, tuque wearing, hockey playing lumberjacks, who wear our beaver pelt underwear for extra warmth while riding the dogsled in the frigid Canadian summers. When we get back to our igloos at the end of the day, we like to eat moose poutine with pemmican, and talk about how many hosers we saw at work that day.

Damnit, you already mentioned the igloos. That's my favorite one. :(

Hell, when I was in Illinois visiting friends, people believed it.

Oh, and I stand corrected on the face on our actual money. It's not the Queen - it's Sandy McTire. :D

The tank finally finished its repairs. That cost a lot of funny money (exactly $2 american dollars).

I looovvvee Canada. I go up twice a year for one week in the summer to Christie Lake in Perth Ontario, and then for two weeks to Whistler Mountain in British Columbia. It fvcking sucks when you're up there and have to get something overnighted to the US though, especially if it HAS to be delivered to a PO box. Ended up SonicAiring (UPS same day service) the package to friend in the states, and he Overnighted it to its destination (fvcking paypal dueches, forcing me to send sh~t to a PO box, fvcking cost me $80 in postage for an envelope).

Canada is basically North Minnesota, and I mean that in all kindness.

It's like the US in many, many ways, but with nicer, quieter, more athletic and environmentally conscious people.

I wish their cities were a bit less US-modeled, though. I don't go for the whole huge-freeway-with-buildings-built-around-it thing.

The top of their head bounces around on the bottom of their head when they talk, and their cars have square wheels.

So I warmed up the old fireplace in my igloo as I got up, put on my tooque and got on my skidoo this morning to go moose hunting before work eh. After I got me some moose, I brought it up to work and we all ate while drinking a cup of Timmies and some Timbits. I'm sure glad it's summer though, the moose usually freeze to death and we have to go after polar bears:(. Last thing I want to do is wrestle a polar bear you know eh?
