like i said .... sleeping in the tool shed ..

i dont have the strength to try and explain that one to my kid :)

Its easy:

"Son... he's American."

:D

Worked for all the Canadian Parents when my dad was stationed at a NATO base when i was a kid.....

in germany ?

Yep.

A full quarter of the school i went to was Canadian.


The sad thing was how bad the Newfies and French Canadians got picked on by the other Canadians. You people can be downright brutal....

thats weird .. you dont see it over here ..

but people are odd out of their element ...
probably a sad attempt to elevate their standing in another country .. they established a pecking order so they wouldnt be at the bottom ..

The funny thing was that the canadians and americans picked on each other, but it was always freindly jabs. Occasionally you would get an eliteist ass hole on one side or another, but for the most part, there was never any big deal.


Of course, you could always count on this at least once a day:
American: C'mon... say "Aboot" again...
Canadian: Leave me alone. We dont say "aboot", we say "Aboot"!

Never been to Boston....but for fuck sakes, drive an extra 5 minutes and go to Salem!!!!! God I love that city...only been there for ?4? days, but it amazed me. We were so confused trying to get there though...for like 2 hours, we just drove in circles around this little highway type thing.... lol....a cop had to [Im not making this up] escort us to the road we wanted to be on [I think we were fucking up traffic or something...]

But also.....Get your American asses across the boarder!!

Hmmm... over here we call it a "border" ;)

i dont get that one either .. god knows we do say 'eh'
all the time, but i cant hear our pronouncing 'about' any differently than on american tv ...

it puzzles me it does
