Well . . . erm . . . the one on the shoulders isn't, but I'm quite sure that the . . . uh . . . well . . . other one . . . is.

Well it can't be that important...

In BC we have texan balls hanging from just about every pickup truck's trailer hitch.

I did ask a few Texans about that, all they did was blush...

yes, we really don't want to make you feel small. It is just not in our nature.

That's what all the Texans say.... until they get to Alberta. Then they get uncharacteristically quiet. It's always fun when a group of Texan Wheels-n-Wigs come for a tour of a facility around here........

"Yall run these things in this weather?'

"Yeah but only for 6 months at a time. That's why we are always on your azz about insulating lines and stuff like that on the stuff we order. We need it."

"Where do yall keep the hot coffee at? We can look at the rest of this in an hour, after we thaw out."

"We can walk with coffee, there's 6 more hours of tour left, can't stop for an hour every 20 minutes. Bet you wish you brought real winterboots, eh?"

Small doesn't bother me. I'd rather have smalls balls still attached to me, rather than big balls attached to some pickup truck 2500 miles away...

I'm keeping it in a lead-lined box at the moment..... y'know, so it doesn't transmit our secrets back to the "Motherland" (aka land of the eternally disgruntled beaver)

Let me point out that I work for the U.S. Department of Defense. In the mid 90s when lots of people were just learning about the Internet, I was giving a talk on it and making the point that it had both an upside and a downside. I pointed out that there was potential confusion because if you did a Yahoo search on my name (this was pre-Google), you got some hits on me, but you also got ones for a gay Canadian popcorn star. Without missing a beat I said, "Now it's not that I'm worried about being mistaken for gay or a popcorn star, but CANADIAN????"

Weird thing was I did not plan that in advance--it just came out of my mouth and I was as surprised as anyone.

Well, that clears things up. The only popcorn star that I know of is Orville Redenbacher, and he's from the States and he's, well, dead.

The world could use another popcorn star.

I'm recently back from the Peg, and I would have to say that if we were having this conversation based solely on fast food...Canada wins hands down. Tim Hortons? Oh yeah...that place is by far the best coffee on the face of the planet. And when you go to McDonalds, they can tell you where the food came from. There's my arguement. Canada has better fast food so they win.

(can you tell where this american's priorities are?)

You should have tryed Tim's 7-8 years ago, when they made the donuts on-site at each store...... dem was good donuts. Now they are stale, dry, mass produced garbage, just like all the rest of the fast food out there.

I don't know what they put in the coffee, but I know for a fact that is as addictive as crack. Glad I gave up coffee 20 years ago, I got enough addictions....

Did you buy some coffee to take home with you?
