Canada's gift to the world
 
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)

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.

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:

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

South Park helps me identify them :D

The forum bots would have let me spell it all out. Would that have been better? :O:

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

Sailor Steve 02-23-12 12:46 PM

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.

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

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...
