Canada's gift to the world

Ultimate Taser Ball! Making pain and suffering fun.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront...ll-league.html

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)

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

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.

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:
