I AM CANADIAN, eh? So, what do Canadians have to be proud of?

1. Smarties

2. Crispy Crunch & Coffee Crisp

3. The size of our footballs fields and one less Down

4. Baseball is Canadian

5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball is Canadian

8. Apple pie is Canadian

9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass

10. Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass

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, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and

hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home

and partied ... Go figure...

12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to

Germany.

13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered

or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.

14. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.

15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American

mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing...but showed up just in

time to get caught.

16. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.

17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface

and is still around as the worlds oldest company.

18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in

under 3 minutes.

19. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.

20. We don't marry our kin-folk.

21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin,

penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save

countless lives each year.

22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell

about it.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

23. ....the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands

with mitts on.

OOOOoohhhhh Canada!!

I especially like the last one

Not only do Tim Horton donuts beat Dunkin' Donuts but Tim Horton's coffee beats anyones!! I live and work in a border town and one of our Canadian nurses brings 2 thermos's of TH each night!! Yeah JoAnn.

Poutine, that is purely Canada. And so full of fat and calories you know it's got to be good.

I have donair withdrawal that has lasted 5 years.

I have driven the 3h (one way) to get a supply of TH coffee. My coffee maker at home doesn't make it right but when I break into the cafeteria and use their industrial strength coffee maker it comes out just right. Must use hotter water or something.

In Halifax NS I once got a cup of TH coffee (on Spring Garden Rd) I once bought a large triple triple, just before an overnight shift at a crisis line, and couldn't sleep for 36h. Must've been an EXTRA EXTRA caffeinated bean variety. Is that common to TH, or did I I just get "lucky"?

Marijke,

LOL yes I know what you mean, great with paprika the chips!!

What do you mean with peanatsauce! is that the good old indonesian saté-sauce?

Can't get that here neither, OMG, my mouth starts watering!!

What about some real good old dutch cheese!!

Take care and hoi, Renee

Yeah, I was talking about the Indonesian peanut sauce (much better than the Thai version I think). I can get it at an oriental market here in town, but most of the time I make my own with good old fashioned (not creamy) peunut butter.

Isn't it amazing how you can crave certain foods when you are living away from home? I am so lucky I can get most things I want here. I understand the person who goes for a 3 hour drive (one way) to get the TH coffee.

Hmm, just got a craving for overaged Gouda cheese.

With the Tim Horton's coffee, the rumor is that they add extra caffeine to it for various reasons. The rumour is that they have already added so much caffeine that if they were to add any more it would become a restriced substance like tobacco and alcohol. At Timmy's, they sell cans and pouches of "their" coffee to do at home. It's supposed to be the same stuff they use at the store.

Enjoy.:roll
