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.

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

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

South Park helps me identify them

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