Mind yer own jurisdiction, Hans!  Here in 'Murica, we enjoy our freedom to rock any way we like (firmly entrenched in the constitution ... somewhere between the freedom of religion and right to bear arms).

Dual P setups like these always remind me of Tetris  :P

that is crazy.  No way I would be able to deal with all of those.....

It looks convoluted, but it's hard to get a bad sound out of the thing.  Most of the controls are 'set and forget' for me.

I am.... but if I talked about The Charter of Rights and Freedoms would anyone have any idea what I was going on about or found the humour in it? Besides, y'all have been looking to annex us for decades, and we enjoy special almost-American privileges such as not requiring passports at boarder crossings... until recently anyway... though I think they rolled that back again so we just need a driver's license... I just know enough to check before every trip... which, no offense (I just don't like boarder security people of any nationality ever since I was singled out for special search as a pimply 16 year old on my way home to Canada by a large and hungry looking Bavarian woman who spent much too long examining the plastic bag of dirty underpants  in my suitcase, totally ignoring the butterfly knife I bought for $1 in Poland... though I'd still chalk that up as worth the trip due to the fine tradition of pick up games of topless volleyball that springing up at every local swimming hole in the Pettendoprf area; SPIKE!), are graciously few and far between.

Don't even; I'm an immigrant and the colonial wars had nothing to do with me. ... anyway, they got a much nicer White House out of it in the end so it all worked out.

I think the last thing you'd want would be U.S. annexation...... Trust me.

Enjoy your Canadianess - And another piece of Back Bacon eh  ;)

Oh for sure - never said I wanted it, just that the US Oligarchs have been eyeing that option for a while.

... anyway, cut it out you hosers.

I always assumed that all of Rush was helping out there.  ... I wonder if part of the Canadian rep for politeness comes from this sort of vernacular stereotype - in reality everywhere they say Take Off it would be an F-bomb.  'Hoser' is used a little by the 60s generation only (again) asa substitute for actual swears in front of the kids.  ... I only know one dude (a friend's dad) who uses it (outside of riffing on Bob n Doug obviously), and even then, only at us (when he thought we weren't around he'd cuss out his buddies normally).

Anyway, funny how things come around again (this time without the prime-time safe euthamisms):

Nice to see that things continue as usual for our northern neighbors.

I just can't get over that those two dolts are actually brothers named Bob (Rob; Robert) and Doug.  

This one is even more uncanny:



I mean, come on, you couldn't have asked for more synchronicity there, between his pre-politics DUI/dropped possession charge in Florida, to this exact thing being in a Farley flick already:




Anyway, enough about that, sorry for the derail.

As soon as we secure our ownership of the arctic and it's oil, we will have dominion over all the earth by virtue of our oil and water reserves.  All this time y'all thought we were being nice; muahahahahahahaha.

... and happy birthday Nikki.
