~*~*~*~* Happy Canada Day ~*~*~*~*~

[Sezjeuric]

Oh yeah..... time for Maple Leaf hot dogs and explosives!!!



So my fellow bacon eating homies.... what are your plans for today????

Karr and I are heading out to the Toronto Islands.... I have wanted to go there since I moved here. We'll have a picnic and see the sites and free fireworks.



Note- I don't want this to turn into a bashing thread or U.S. vs. Canada thread.... you guys can wait 3 days and start your own.

Come on, Owl. You need to have a bit more of the patriotic spirit. And while absorbing that spirit, you probably should also be drinking some of that Big Ass Beaver energy drink (or whatever it's called).

I didn't know Canada had a day.

Now, I KNOW you do not like seeing this picture everywhere, JPS, but you've no reason to get THAT angry.


That pic kinda reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine draws those eyebrows on Uncle Leo with a permanent marker.

Re: ~*~*~*~* Happy Canada Day ~*~*~*~*~

You guys are just running that thing wayyyy in the ground.

Anyways, Im not going to worry about that pic anymore, from now on anyone who posts it will just go on ignore, and anyone who quotes it will go on ignore.

Problem solved.

Anyways...Canada discovers cable and theyre so excited they make a Canada Day? Wow you guys are easily amused.

Re: ~*~*~*~* Happy Canada Day ~*~*~*~*~

Come on guys.... what are your plans?

Re: ~*~*~*~* Happy Canada Day ~*~*~*~*~

Hey Sez, tell us about Canada Day. Is it similar to the American Independence Day? Or is it more of a "lets be patriotic" thing and less of a "thank God were not ruled by a monarchy" thing?

[Sezjeuric]

Re: ~*~*~*~* Happy Canada Day ~*~*~*~*~

Depends Storm Weaver.......

For me, it is about being patriotic.... proud to be Canadian. However, I am also thankful to be Canadian. I revel in all that makes this country what it is.

There are some people coughOwlcough who see this day as either just another extra day off work, or a reason to get paid more to work just another day.

In my hometown, there is a huge multicultural festival where you can taste food from all over the world. In Toronto, it's about celebrating everything Canadian.

Who knows... maybe it is different in outher parts of the country.

I applaud Sez's chirpy patriotism. It's when I read threads like this that I'm surprised she's still as effervescent as she is after having been a member here that long. It's kinda like how Misty was, but you know, not fake and forced. I don't doubt the sincerity of her effervescence one bit, especially after having seen pic after pic of that big toothy grin of hers.

How can one be a member here for that long and not become cynical and jaded by default?

On a completely different note, does anyone else find Sez's sig pic (knowing that it IS Sez's sig pic) strangely.....ummmm......engaging?









Arousing?




So, yeah. Keep waving those maple leaves (or, as you like to mis-spell your sports teams, Maple Leafs), Sez. I'll back you 100%.

I was actually referring to the "bacon eating homies" line, I've been through this 1000 times, but I hate these types of jokes because a ridiculous amount of people from Canada likes to say things like that because they think it makes themselves, or all Canadians in general sound quirky.
...
You could as say that jokes like that are the Canadian equivalent of the "N" word, in that when used among fellow Canadians it's supposed to be somewhat endearing, but when in point of fact it's just tacky.

Arousing?

Sure, if you're Hyper Dingo, Kire, ChuckRich, Draygone, or Jeroak Nelave...
...
I get it though: panda, bamboo, penis, fellatio.

Re: ~*~*~*~* Happy Canada Day ~*~*~*~*~

Wow.

Thanks Perversion. I appreciate the recognition. I only experienced the anomoly that was Misty for a short time before her departure, but I understand that to be compared to her, especially the way you worded it, is a compliment.

How am I not jaded? I don't know if I can explain it. I gues it comes from some of the virtures my family taught me- to be patient, to not force my beliefs on others, and to accept what other people can bring to this world.

But enough about me.....

If you don't have any plans for today, do you have any stories of past Canada Day celebrations that may be worth sharing?

I don't have anything side splittingly funny.... but in 2005, I had an amazing day with my family. The night ended with me and my sisters tipping over mail boxes in a fit of laughter. As silly/stupid as this may seem, we were caught up in the moment. Plus we are weaklings, so as we rocked the mail box to tip it, the anticipation of that loud BANG grew..... and when it finall DID slam down on that pavement, we had to run while doubled over laughing, which resemebles drunk chickens scattering about.
