It's A Jelly, Eh.
Over the past few months I have come to the conclusion I should have been born a Canadian. Don't get me wrong, I love being an American and wouldn't change it for the world, but... I love hockey, their national pasttime. I love lacrosse, their national sport. Hell(as in H-E-double hockey sticks), I even love their imported actors.
Here is an example.
Great White North
Penny, this is for you. I told you they exist. They each have a couple of things they say when you push a button the side of the display. I wish they would have put a mouse in one of the beer bottles. It would have made them even cooler than they already are.
For those of you who don't know who these guys are, check out Strange Brew. Ahhh! Take off, you hoser(s).

I never said I wanted to be a Canadian. If I didn't look and sound and act a lot like my dad I would seriously believe someone switched me at birth.
"Me and my brother used to say that drowning in beer was like heaven. Now he's not here and I got two soakers. This isn't heaven this sucks!"
I am a big fan of Canada and my cousin-in-law who is a native of Toronto.
Larry, I have to say that i have had a lot of experience with canadians. At least through Build-A-Bear. Now now before you start cracking those bear jokes hear me out. The Canadians are the Most Mean customers. They seem to hate anything american. And i say this with proof. Ask Meghan!! she'll agree with me. At least when it comes to stuffed animals, they are bitches!
Jo-Jo: I knew you would also be a fan.
Timmy: Ask Meghan? Dude, Meghan hates everyone who is a customer. She has been making a list of callers and when she leaves the job, she is going to hunt them down(I don't have proof of this, but I believe it with all my being).
{Coach, if you read this, I didn't mean to offend. Just don't add me to your list, okay?}
I LOVE that movie!!!! Sooooo funny.
MD - I believe it was SCTV.
Yeah it was SCTV.
Candians are pretty even tempered so you must really mess up at Creat A Bear to get mean Canadians calling :P
I agree with Dani - it's very rare that Canadians will actually admit to hating anything. The only thing we probably really hate is when people are ignorant of Canadians. "You're from Toronto? Do you know a guy named Bob?" "Do you live in igloos" "Hey! Maybe I'll come visit you in the summer. I'll bring my downhill skis." "How much tax do you pay to the British nowadays?"
Thanks, Larry, for the picture. I needed something to make me smile today. :o)
When you come visit, we'll make you an honourary Canadian. Don't forget, Canada doesn't mind if you have dual citizenship: you can be American and Canadian, as far as we're concerned.
Oh, one small error: Hockey is our winter national sport and Lacrosse is the summer national sport. Yes, we have two. I guess it comes with being a bilingual country. :o)
LNF: They sure are.
M.D.: I believe "Hose Beast" comes from yet another Canadian actor's film. Mike Myers in Wayne's World.
Callie: The movie is a definite classic.
Kristine: Welcome. You gotta love MacFarland Toys, what with figures like these and the hockey collections.
Dani: You still haven't convinced me. I mean, come on, Canadians are the original hockey goons. I wouldn't call that even tempered. ;)
P-Shag: You can't downhill ski in Toronto during the summer? :P After chatting I figured I had to show you these guys.
M.D.: I can't wait to find out for myself.
"Okay, so, like, how do you convert a two-four of beer into metric beer, eh?"
"Okay, you multiply by two and add sixteen, so that'd be...,like, 64 metric beer."
"(Belch). Okay, count me in for metric, eh?"
Even tempered... except on the ice. Or in the stands watching. We know how to leave it in the game... even if we go a little overboard with the uhhh goonness during the game.
