That was pretty semi-outstanding. Can't say I've listened to much Primus but I'm gonna give'r and see what's up.

^^^ I met Les Claypool without realizing it.

I used to work in a small, non-chain, guitar store. We were known for being a cool/vintagey/offbeat store, and touring bands from both ends of the fame spectrum would stop by when in town. The staff were all 20-something garage/bar band musicians, aspiring to "never was, trying to be a has-been" status - myself included.

One Saturday afternoon, a guy comes in and strikes up a friendly chat about some of the cooler stuff in the store, and music in general. We probably talked for a solid 15 minutes. Not trying out guitars/amps or anything, just shootin' the shit. The whole time I was thinking 'man, this guy looks familiar' but I couldn't place it.

If he had a rock star attitude, I would've realized he was a somebody, but he had such an unguarded demeanor that lead me to think that we must've met at some point, and that I was just being an idiot by not remembering.

So he wraps it up with a "hey, it's been nice talking with ya" and he's on his way. I go back to attempting to do my job, and notice that everyone in the store is literally staring at me. Then someone breaks the silence with, "OMG, HOW ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH LES CLAYPOOL?!!"

So, What do we Canadians Have to be Proud of? Particularly on this our 150th Birthday!
1. Smarties, which unlike Reese's Pieces melt in your mouth + not in your hand (not sold in the USA )
2. Crispy Crunch and Coffee Crisp (not sold in the USA )
3. The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger balls.

5. Lacrosse is Canadian
6. Hockey is Canadian

8. Apple pie is Canadian
9. Mr. Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers
10. Tim Hortons beats Dunkin' Donuts
11. In the war of 1812, started by America , Canadians pushed the Americans back past their white House. Then we burned it, and most of Washington ... We got bored because they ran away. Then, we came home and partied.... Go figure. (Canada Fuck Ya)
12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany. I hope this makes Quebecers proud.
13. We have the largest English population that never surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER! (We got clobbered in the odd battle but prevailed in ALL the wars)
14.. Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour.
15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, he slept in and missed the whole thing. He showed up just in time to get caught.
16. A Canadian invented Standard Time.
17. The Hudson’s Bay Company (while Canadian owned + operated) once owned over 10% of the earth's surface and is still around as the world's oldest company. Now American owned! Darn!
18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
(That's more information than I need!) But I still love dogs more than most people
19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo.
20. We don't marry our kin-folk...
21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin and the telephone. Also, short wave radios which save countless lives each year.
22.. We have ALL frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
23. A Canadian invented Superman.
24. We have colored money.
25. Our beer advertisements kick ass (Incidentally... so does our beer) BUT MOST IMPORTANT, the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands in with mitts on.
OOOoohhhhh..... Canada !!
Oh yeah... our Federal election process takes a matter of a few weeks! And, our elections take only one day!
Pass this on if you're proud to be Canadian!!!

That's a mighty big beaver

Attachment 208657

I spent two years training and racing sled dogs in my twenties. There was this trapper who would drop by the kennel once in a while and give us the animals he trapped that he had no use for and did not want. Mushers are always looking for meat and in the mushing world beaver is referred to as rocket fuel for sled dogs. It's super fatty, especially the tail. Anyways, the one day he pulls up in his truck and grabs this massive beaver and brings it to us. We weren't sure what it was at first because of the way he was struggling to carry it with two hands. He drops it in front of us. This mangy old thing was missing a good 3rd of it's tail and it was massive! Easily 1.5 meters long and it had to weigh 60 pounds no problem. Later when we skin the thing we find two .22 bullets in him. And they were old bullets, deep inside him, they had been there a long time. So me and the other musher we pause for a moment and we're looking at this old guy and realizing that we have a genuine survivor on his hands. The tail, the bullets, his size. If only beavers could write biographies I'm sure this f@cker would have some great stories to tell. I still think about that old beaver every once in a while.

^^^ Just for the record, that was an actual story about a beaver and in no way a metaphor for uhhhhhhh....... something else.

Tim Horton's is garbage.

And yet you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting one up there.

[steff]

Tim Horton's Poutine doughnut, only for Americans. Gravy, cheese curds and potato wedges.

Agreed. And hockey too. F*ck that sport. It's like an incubator for overprivileged, flip flop wearing p#ssies.

A few days late but Happy Belated Canada Day to all my fellow Canuckskians!

Since our town doesn't have an official parade for C.D., I organized a guerilla impromptu Canada Day Bike Parade through the downtown of the sprawling metropolis of Terrace B.C. It was good times with good people. Flags were flown with pride and we had 'Oh Canada' cranked on a speakers pumping out the volume from a bike basket. Too bad GARYFROMTERRACE was missing but hope to have him on board for next year's event.





In other news; for the flag, I (try to) sing. For the skiers, I salute.

[XXX-er]

Almost ^^ makes you feel patriotic

but of course the real Canadians are not patriotic

unless they are trying to ace the citizenship test

Guido is like Canada's answer to Barry Manilow

That racy red leather is so Canadian

sure beats the fuck out of white clothing eh?
