So if you happen to live in Vancouver and want to meet some chill bro's hit me up...we leave in 3 weeks!

You're just asking for it...

ROFL!
 
But how long will he stay after he finds out that his American you-know-what is nowhere near the high standard expected by our Canadian amazons?😀
 
Addition by subtraction. Thank you for doing your part to make the USA a better place. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Getting deported BACK to the USofA, worse things could happen...

Well clearly you are not educated or have any useful skills, otherwise you could legally import yourself.

Just tell them someone tried to slip you a light beer! :beer:

Thanks for the advice...I'll probably need to use some of it at some point...

fixed.

HAHA I'd never house crash on someone like that, I enjoy meeting other ATers so I always throw an open invitation.

going to vancouver without a plan and 4 grand seems like a risky situation. I would go up there first as a visit and try finding a place to live and a job and then going from there. Going there with only 4 grand and no plan might be a bit stressful.

Life's full of risk, sometimes you just have to leave it all behind to truly grow.

Don't plan on being a Bum but it could happen but thank you so very much for the warm wishes 😀

:laugh:

Also, I don't want to meet anyone who describes themselves as a "chill bro"

mostly because I hate the word "chill." when used in that context. Chill fits more in the "chill until ready to serve" category. A "chill bro" is probably code for smelly hippie.

Don't worry Canadian friends, ship them back here and we'll have them flipping burgers in a week. 😀

We probably don't want to meet you either...🙂

I can save you the trouble, I'm not and I haven't 🙂

Yeah, maybe putting your real name and home town in your profile isn't a good idea when you're announcing to the world that you're planning on doing something illegal 🙂

Oh, and just in case you decide to change it, let's post it here:

First Name: Tim
Last Name: Thorpe
Username: narzy
City: Salem
Province/State: Oregon
Country: United States
Website: http://www.cleanyourdirt.com/
E-mail Address: tim.thorpe@cleREMOVEanyourdirt.com

Can I nominate this thread for pwnage of the year honors? 🙂

hey! thanks for plastering my profile but honestly why would I hide? if we get caught we get caught...as for the nomination, I gladly accept it is a great honor 🙂.

Will do 🙂 if it gets real interesting I'll start a blog or vlog or something, I've always wanted to be one of the popular kids on youtube...

Right Narzy? 😉

sure, yeah whatever...:roll:

Don't think I'm renouncing my US citizenship...it could come in handy one day, and I want to influence your elections from abroad! but I ain't payin your lousy taxes!

as for being anally violated by the door, in true US citizen fashion if that were to occur I'd be sure to sue the door and door handle manufacturer(s) for sexual assault winning an unheard of and substantial settlement/verdict and stay in the states with my newly acquired millions!

You're leaving Oregon to go to Canada? BUWAHAHALOL! I could understand if you were in California or NY, but Canada is just a colder version of Oregon. Moderately liberal with a high focus on environmental conservatism. 😛

Are you serious...taxes are higher in Canada are they not?

I'm afraid I am going to have to agree with the addition by subtraction here.

47 states that are ignorant of such issues vs. an entire country that isn't...I pick the latter! Oregon is great I also like California but it costs more to live there...

no, this thread is not shens, and I know canada isn't "all that" but we want to go somewhere...and Canada seems as good as any place.

If you are serious about all this, all the power to you. I actually think it is pretty damn cool that you are just going for it like this. Here is a Canadian :beer: for you.

Cheers!!

thanks for the moral support, seriously I appreciate it 😀. If all goes well I'll take you up on that beer some day.
 

**UPDATE**

We didn't make it :| got half way across washington and landed in a small town called Moses Lake, 20,000 people, not to shabby for a hole in the desert floor. My buddy split and landed in Arkansas to live with his cousins and I found a career training program and have become a PAW (Professional Ass Wiper) also known as a CNA. I'll be working on my LPN this fall...the thing that sucks is I almost made it...only 140 miles to the boarder...but when opportunity knocks...gotta take it...right?

Its been a big transition but I think it's working out for the gooder.

Peace!
 
You made the right decision. About 95% of the women in vancouver have Hep C anyway and fully 48% are HIV positive, it's an alarming stat that Canada has tried to keep under wraps.
 
Keep that dream alive. You'll get there someday.

Wow, Vancouver has been THE place that I wanted to settle in (Wasn't the #1 city in N.America in some magazine/poll?). 🙁
