This is a joke. Laugh.

Heh. Very funny indeed!
I kinda like this one better, though... the world after the Canadian conquest... (from those funny folks at Canadian World Domination: http://www.standonguard.com/images/eventualmap.gif |

hey do we actually say ABOOT????? or do people simply watch too much south park. for anyone's information, we pronounce "about" like a fight.. as in "a bout" (like boxing, rhymes with the british pronounciation of "route" or "shout"). do americans say "abutt" or something similar then? |
As most hate mail is :)
I think my favorite part out of that one, if I have to pick, is "retared"... :) That mail certainly looks like it was written by a "drunk retared" person :) As for the whole "aboot" thing - it's just a geographical accent. Some Americans probably say "about" differently. I personally pronounce it as you said - "a bout", like a fight, rhymes with "a shout" :) I do have Canadian friends that say "aboot" though. It's certainly exxagerated in South Park and the like. I noticed it a lot in Toronto, and it was one of the things I did to blend in - picked up some of the accent. It was funny, because I actually convinced a store clerk that Vanessa was American and I was Canadian when, of course, the opposite is true. But I did it with good usage of the word "aboot" and saying that Vanessa was "from the States" instead of "an American". :) There are subtle differences in the way we talk, but they're there. :) |
Heh. If I'm so smiley, it's because I like Toronto a whole lot, and thinking about it makes me smiley :)
|
shall we measure the standard smiley per sentance ratio? ;)
maybe i don't notice it cuz i don't know any hick canadians. actually thats a scary thought for a globalized city boi like myself - HICKS! ahhhhhh run more great hatemail.. this guy likes insult generators probably: Quote:

This insult goes a long ways back. It's always been fun to read, but it transforms from place to place. I'm not sure that anyone (except the creator) knows exactly what the original version was - I have been unable to locate it. However, it certainly is entertaining. :) [Edit - Oooh! Original source! http://www.guymacon.com/insult.txt ] |
Canada
Can you say Finland? ;) (as in "Finlandized")

Guess this is Bob Costas's map
Because some of that "Jungle" section should be "Mountain"... Costas was amazed that there would be Chileans in skiing competitions..
|
I really thought good old Jim McKay was going to get sucked into the vacuum created by Bob and Katie. The man barely got out alive, scarey. I had always believed Costas and Couric were the same person, although now that I think about it, as bad as the banter was... maybe they are.
