Funny, I'd always heard about how polite the people in Canada were. That is apparently propaganda put out by the same folks that wrote the answers to those questions. icon_razz.gif

Who are you calling American? icon_evil.gif I'm from Africa.

And all of the comedians you mention are pathetic in my opinion with the exception of Mike Myers, but he's lost it lately too.

I still say the best comedy is british.

Bob and Doug MacKenzie were characters on SCTV, not actual comedians. They were played by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (no, not the founder of Wendy's).

I have a female Canadian friend and she says there's a shortage of tall, decent looking guys there (Toronto specifically). She refers to the male population in general up there as the ugly midget bridade. icon_biggrin.gif

She comes to Aspen yearly to find men of normal human proportions. icon_twisted.gif

So if you're tall Pain, you'll have a ball up there.

His wife would have a ball, and a bat, too, when he got back! icon_lol.gif
