You have got to be kidding... well actually, I have had Americans ask me if I LIVED in an igloo and if I had snowshoes. I've only ever seen one on the discovery channel. BUT - I also know plenty of intelligent Americans. It just seems so funny that they seem to know so little about us when we are right beside them.
Liz- you haven't seen this??? There is more to come...I'm posting it in parts over the next couple of weeks.
Yes, I remember being in Myrtle Beach and convincing an American couple that we had to buy all of our clothes once we got south cause they don't sell bathing suits and shorts in Canada. Then we complained about how hard it was to have all our dogs kenneled (the ones that drive our sled of course!) so that we could get away for the week. All the while we said 'eh' obsessively...they bought every moment. Although, how could you ever doubt a face like mine ;o).
liz- isn't that a killer?! The first time I saw this was about 5 years ago and I'm pretty sure I peed my pants. Wait till you see the rest. It just gets funnier.
Speed demon- I'm gonna have to google that Jay Walk. I've never seen it. Ya gotta give Mercer some props though...he's pretty quick and sneaky...although there is another part to this where he asks Bush about Prime Minister Jean Poutine. And Bush repeats it! That's just sooooo bad, but not surprising. I'm sure Bush forgets his wife's name on occasion.

"Shut up, you American. You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let me tell you something" and "I just wanna say." Well, you're dead now, so shut up. "

Very well humoured and very intelligent American friend checking in here.
Nope...not scared away. You f-ing Canadian, you!
...well f@&! ya then if ya can't take a joke...you, you...American you!
Just thought I should point out what "tete du merde" actually means - shithead. That still makes me laugh.
Makes you wonder how ignorant Americans are. This is almost analogous to Jay Leno's "Jay Walk", except here we've Canadian dissing Americans! LOL~
