Ultimate Taser Ball! Making pain and suffering fun.

Question. What happens when two players, shock each other at the same time? I don't understand how tasers work.

This smells like Baseketball (the game invented for a movie of the same name by Matt Stone and Trey Parker)

[TLAM Strike]

Soccer teams are being armed with guns... what is this? Pakistan? :doh:

[nikimcbee]

I was gunna guess Pam Anderson or Rush as the gift to the world.:hmmm:

[NeonSamurai]

I was gunna guess Pam Anderson or Rush as the gift to the world.:hmmm:

God I hope not, I can't stand either and would not want to consider them representatives of where I come from.

[Torplexed]

And I was gonna vote for John Candy. :DL

Reminds of this:
Rollerball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollerball_(1975_film))
and Ancient Rome (gladiators etc).

:nope:

Rush is about the only think I really like that comes from Canada but don't feel bad, some folks think Celene Dion is a representative of Canada as well.

[u crank]

May never get another chance so here we go.

On the plus side:

Neil Young, Wayne Gretzky, James 'Scotty' Doohan, Tricia 'Number Six' Helfer, Tommy Chong, Gen.Romeo Dallaire, insulin, Robertson screw, Canada Dry.....I'm getting bored.

On the negative side:

Celine Dion,.....hmm, that's the only one I can think of. :haha:

These are of course just the opinions of a cranky old Canuck. :smug:

[Herr-Berbunch]

I think about half the 'Americans' that the British public could name are actually from Canadialand.

South Park helps me identify them :D

[Sailor Steve]

On the plus side:
Gordon Lightfoot gets my vote, but there seems to be no in between. Folks either love him or hate him.

Carrie-Anne Moss
Graham Greene
Ellen Page
Barry Pepper
Rachel McAdams
Avril Levigne

I tried to list folks not already mentioned, and I used a list but left of a dozen or more because I was unfamiliar with them.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Justin B**b*r

I tried to list folks not already mentioned, and I used a list but left of a dozen or more because I was unfamiliar with them.

So, you're familiar with Justin B**b*r? :hmmm:

(and you know the rules about asterisking (?) out part of expletives)

[Sailor Steve]

So, you're familiar with Justin B**b*r? :hmmm:
Unfortunately.

Who isn't?

(and you know the rules about asterisking (?) out part of expletives)
The forum bots would have let me spell it all out. Would that have been better? :O:

[August]

If Canada had an actual entertainment industry maybe those interlopers would have stayed north of the border where they belong! :DL

[Sailor Steve]

REASONS TO FEAR CANADA:

Ninety-percent of population is massed within 100 miles north of the United States' border.

Seems not to mind that one of its provinces being almost entirely French.

Excessive politeness only makes sense as cover for something truly sinister.

Citizens seem strangely impervious to cold.

Decriminalization of marijuana and acceptance of gay marriage without corresponding collapse of social institutions indicate Canada may very well be indestructible.

Has infiltrated entertainment industry with singers, actors, and comedians practically indistinguishable from their American counterparts.

Consistently stays just below cultural radar yet never quite disappears totally.

Parliamentary government and common-law judiciary appear to function acceptably yet remain completely inscrutable.

Never had a "disco phase".

Seemingly endless supply of timber, donuts, and Scotch-plaid hats with earflaps.

Keeps insisting it "has no designs on America" and "only wants peace".

Plays a mean game of pond hockey.

Has a universal health care system considered to be Socialist and yet it's citizens remain healthy, showing the people may invulnerable to disease.

[Sailor Steve]

Oh, and on the Plus Side I forgot to mention:

Gunnarolla & Honeychip. How foolish of me. :oops:

If American celebrities were less vacuous, Canadians wouldn't be drawn in to compensate... some might say. :D

[Sailor Steve]

If American celebrities were less vacuous...
Are you saying Americans are more vacuous than Canadians?

Umm...

Umm...

YEAH! U-S-A, all the way! We're number one! Woot! Canadians have less vacuity! Ha-ha!

Waitaminute...

*grabs dictionomy...dictatorium...big book with words in it...

[u crank]

@ Sailor Steve.

You know what this means Steve; you now know to much. :hmmm:

You will be assimilated. Grab a donut and yer hockey stick. :haha:

Also, sorry to report but you're wrong about the disco phase. I'm so ashamed. :88)

August, we do have an entertainment industry, problem is you guys got all the money! You know these showbiz types. They like their bling. :D We just can't afford to pay them.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I specifically stated celebrities, just to stay on the safe side :03:

I've met some wonderfully intelligent Americans, however TV never portrays those as much as it does the lower end of the, err, spectrum.

I do love the Trailer Park Boys series :rock:, and they're Cananananadians - but actors playing dumb.

[soopaman2]

This thread wasn't created to start trouble between America and it's last friend in the world was it?

Be nice.

We love you!:yeah:

What could we do to invade you guys anyway? We are the same except you pretend to hate us to impress Europe.

Force your TV stations to air the Kardashians and the Real Houswife (New Jersey, Beverly Hills, Uganda, Atlanta ) crap?

Our greatest weapon is our mind draining media.

Be nice or beware.:D:salute:

"The Brits have got the Monarchy, the US has the money but I know that you want to be Canadian!"

Well I know we owe Canada big for 1979. If anyone ever invades you we got your back.

Taser ball reminds me of Spinball from Deathmatch 1999 in Action comics from the '70s
