I have to agree 100%. I'm getting very tired of the invalid stereotypical portrayal of a Canadian as a person wearing a red plaid shirt, a toque, and saying "Eh" about 20 times more frequently than anybody I've ever known. And his 10 things are either differences everyone is aware of or they're invalid. I've never used or heard the term soaker as he describes it, plenty of Canadians burn their marshmallows, and we've all eaten smores. Ironically, his comment about Americans who've never been anywhere is also applicable to him, at least when it comes to travelling within Canada. He comes across as a typical person who has grown up in Ontario and believes that the rest of us are just like him. Oh and yeah, he's just not funny.

Yup, I have fond memories of -45°c to -30°c
I've frozen the moisture in my eyes, glues my nostrils together and grown an icicle beard from my breath and nose many a time.

I remember back in high school when they shut down the schools because it was too cold. knowing this, my boss called and asked if I wanted to work for the day. I said yes, but had no transportation. I walked the 5km into town in -37°c. When I got there, I had icicles on my face, my scarf was frozen solid from breathing through it, and my eyebrows were frozen to my toque. It took me an hour to thaw out before I could even start working. After which, my boss said, I should have just said something and he would have just whipped over and picked my up.
Ah to be young, stupid and stuborn

So what was prize? Wouldn't it be cool if they bet each other's countries and we could all be Canadian, just like that? Yeah, that would be real cool, eh? Or get Harper and Obama to have matches in both DC and Toronto. It could be North America's Hunger Games. The tiebreaker, if needed, could be in Wasilla, which is practically Russia and therefore neutral territory. We'd have to keep Putin from wanting in on the action, because he would just PWN, eh. Anyway, I'd rather be a Canuck. I've been living off of Super-sized #4s (with a Diet Coke to cancel out the guilt) and Iced Animal Cookies for years and I'm aboot ready for the free heart I could get as a Canadian. And my touk could be used for more than just looking pretty in the mirror at home.


It's spelled toque.

Here's a personal confession.
I was only 19 years old when I went up to the NWT to work at the Hudson's Bay Store (yes, it was still The Bay back then). I kept seeing signs all over the place signed "Koana/ᖁᐊᓇ", such as "Please take off your boots before coming into the break room- Koana/ᖁᐊᓇ" or "No T-Shirt, No Shorts, No Toque, No Service - Koana/ᖁᐊᓇ" Being new there, I asked one of the other staff members who "Koana" was.
I was so young and naive, and I've never gotten over the embarassment.


Well?

Don't know a single one of those a-holes. Was guy in the toque the
"flash" in smallville?

To answer everyone's enduring question regarding why I called Kulpims a "Gay Trekkie" have a look at his avatar. Come on now, rainbow toques on Warf, Riker and Picard? There was absolutely no offense intended against Kulpims, nor did I intend any slur regarding homosexuality.

If any offense was given, I apologize. It was strictly a reference to the rainbow toques.

That and the fact the brother takes it up the ass.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>> ^thinker247:
Berticus, I'm with you when someone puts a post that is obviously mocking homosexuality into the gay channel, or when a comment is directed at someone doing something stupid and it's called gay. However, I don't think TRB meant anything by it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm right. Maybe I'm Spartacus. Why don't you ask therealblankman why he wrote it? Let's dialogue!

oh man! you're off to a fucking amazing start by calling him gay!
that shit is always fucking hilarious!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Big toque and a boy beater -- she's a scrapper.

completely ridiculous scene, weather-wise:

it's melting. you can see puddles, huge puddles everywhere. you can't see their breath, even when they're talking. it's probably +5 or better (40F for you people who think fargo is the far north). no one puts on a gigantic fur-trimmed hood when it's melting and buttons it up. you wouldn't even need a toque, probably. and what's he doing with that broom, pushing slush off his driveway? lots of snow left to melt, you'll just get sheet ice after it refreezes. this is the kind of weather we see in march if we're lucky, april if we're not.

saskatoon weather forecast tonight: light snow (5cm expected), low -28, NW winds at 20 km/h with windchill -40.

Me encanta, aqui en Bolivia hay artistas que tocan de esa forma el charango, es increible.
Quisiera que toque ese tema en charango, sonaria muy bello.

Anuncio sencillo, pero con ese toque de humor que te hara recordar la marca del producto.
