Fired Up

[Sean Archer]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1083456/

Cheerleaders. Dudes who join cheerleading to bone cheerleaders. Hilarity ensues. Oh yes.

[Sean Archer]

OMG a Heroes character appears in the end credits.

[Ginormous76]

Wow, Canada sucks. We had this movie a long time ago, like January or February this year. There's a reason it bombed.

[Inconceivable]

If SA is a representative of the general Canadian population, we should just take over now. How much fight can out of shape guys, obsessed with shoes and ties whose only weapon is a poorly sharpened axe put up? There are some nice lakes, forests and wildlife up there so it’s probably worth having.

I say we send 3 marines up there and have Canada surrender by the end of the week.

Um, why exactly do we WANT Canada?

[Inconceivable]

Um, why exactly do we WANT Canada?

The lakes, the forests and the wildlife. We can sell it for 30 cents on the Canadian dollar and pay off .01% if our national debt. Also, I think they have oil, so what more reason do we need. I'm surprised the Bush administration didn't have a plan in place for this already. Something about weapons of moose destruction.

[Sean Archer]

All I want from the USA is the currency value (pretty much the same now anyway) and the stores. The rest you can keep.

[Darkness Falls]

Um, why exactly do we WANT Canada?

Our natural resources + in the future our territorial waters in the Arctic for the North-West Passage (though you'll have to fight with the Ruskies for that)

[Darkness Falls]

Also, I think they have oil


2nd largest reserves in the world (though expensive to get out) either through the Tar Sands or Off-Shore drilling.

[Sean Archer]

Hey if you Yanks ever get into another world war, I'll bring my Olean, NY made kabar :D

[Sean Archer]

2nd largest reserves in the world (though expensive to get out) either through the Tar Sands or Off-Shore drilling.

We also have diamonds.

[Darkness Falls]

We also have diamonds.

Until people realize that except for a few industrial applications they are mostly useless.

[Inconceivable]

You guys just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper. When you wake up one day and wonder why you have to say the pledge of allegiance in the morning, you only have yourselves to blame.

[Sean Archer]

Duh, people are stoopid. Doi duh duh DUh duh.

[Darkness Falls]

Sadly I rather take a bullet than say the whole thing. There is one key word in there I'm morally opposed to ever saying. And then there's the extra 2 words in there that your government seems to ignore when they feel like it.

[Keep It Real, Yo]

Didn't Canada get pretty involved in WWI and WWII? Y'all need some better filmmakers up there to glorify your involvement. How about Saving Private Archer?

indivisible?

[Keep It Real, Yo]

Mabye we could just give Canada the NHL back in a trade for all their diamonds and oil. But they have to get the oil and diamonds and deliver it. It's too damn cold to go get it.

[Darkness Falls]

indivisible?

The word right before it!

[Sean Archer]

I am not opposed to the idea.

Also, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1092082/

Interesting that this Canadian war movie seemed much lighter and less gritty. Plus there was sex with a hot nurse. Quite representative of the Canadian character I would say.

[glassjaws]

I wish Canadians typed like they talk, eh.

[Darkness Falls]

I wish Canadians typed like they talk, eh.

I never really got the eh thing. It's a pretty region specific tick. I honestly don't believe I've ever actually heard someone say it.

[Keep It Real, Yo]

Are you in Western Canada? In parts of Ontario where I've been I heard tons of folk saying "eh"

So, if God is the word you refuse to say, are the two words that the government forgets liberty and justice?

[Sean Archer]

I say "eh" with the same regularity as "right?" is used in HIMYM.

[glassjaws]

I never really got the eh thing. It's a pretty region specific tick. I honestly don't believe I've ever actually heard someone say it.

I have. I know a family that moved to the States from the Ottawa area and they say it pretty often. They also have a different vernacular that makes their speech fun to listen to. My favorite saying was "close" in place of turn off. I remember them asking me to close the lights one time and I was quite befuddled.

So, if God is the word you refuse to say, are the two words that the government forgets liberty and justice?

Maybe the "for all" are the two words that are sometimes forgotten?

[Darkness Falls]

Yup, seems like recently those two have been used selectively.

[Darkness Falls]

Or those 2, gives the same end result.

[Ginormous76]

Question for you. Does the movie Robin reference as Lethal Weapon being a ripoff of actually exist?

Yup, seems like recently those two have been used selectively during the Bush administration.

:iatp:

Recently?

[Abused Student]

If we invade and get them to surrender, can we send all the Canadians to say Mexico or something? Just have the land and resources.

[Actuarial Groupie]

They make good bacon up there ...

[Abused Student]

They make good bacon up there ...

Ok, the people that make bacon can stay.

Oh, and I have met plenty from British Columbia and they say "eh" all the time so not sure which region doesn't say it.

[Darkness Falls]

If we invade and get them to surrender, can we send all the Canadians to say Mexico or something? Just have the land and resources.

Our beer should get your soldiers drunk enough that we can send them away without much of a fight.

[Uncle Ted]

Oh, and I have met plenty from British Columbia and they say "eh" all the time so not sure which region doesn't say it.I think Darkness Falls is referring to the French part. Although he/she is wrong, they say it there as well, maybe more.

[The Drunken Actuary]

I have a thread on this somewhere....Canadian beer isn't that good. Maybe you keep the good stuff up there and we don't get it here. :shrug:

[Uncle Ted]

Maybe you keep the good stuff up there and we don't get it here. :shrug:Correct.

[Abused Student]

Our beer should get your soldiers drunk enough that we can send them away without much of a fight.

:shake: You get them drunk and they will probably go on a shooting spree or something.

[The Drunken Actuary]

Correct.

Mark me down as being pro-invasion!

[Darkness Falls]

We do, good to know. Maybe the groups I frequent speak proper French. :shrug:

[Mojo Dojo]

They make good bacon up there ...

You mean that ham stuff? It's not bad for ham, but it's not even comparable to bacon.

[Uncle Ted]

I'm from the French part, I say it, and all the people from the French part I know say it.

And if you know anyone from Quebec who speaks proper French...Well I guess I guess I did meet one once, but his parents were from Europe.

[Abused Student]

Correct.

Ok, the good beer makers can stay too. Anybody that used to export to the US though is gone to Mexico.

[The Drunken Actuary]

I think it has something to do with American import laws....

[Abused Student]

I think it has something to do with American import laws....

Hmm, possibly. Alright, I put TDA in charge of telling which beer makers can stay and which ones get sent packing.

[Darkness Falls]

Between the regions/suburbia and Montreal (Excluding Eastern Part of Island) there are big differences.

[glassjaws]

I don't speak French. My friend from Canada does though.

[The Drunken Actuary]

Hmm, possibly. Alright, I put TDA in charge of telling which beer makers can stay and which ones get sent packing.

I accept!

[Darkness Falls]

I accept!

Start with the Microbreweries around Montreal/Quebec. Should keep you busy for awhile. Hell you may never want to go back home!

Um, that will be our new home. :co:

That's more of a French thing, where "ferme" is used to indicated a closed door, closed business, or shut off electronics.

1st two cases yes, but for the 3rd nearly everyone would say éteindre la television [insert any other electronic here]

[The Drunken Actuary]

Sorry, but every time I read this thread title I think of Newt Gingrich and his fellow idiots in 1994 after first introducing the contract with America chanting 'we're fired up, we can't take no more.' I wonder if that's on youtube.

[Redge]

Mark me down as being pro-invasion!

Thanks for the warning. I'm going to pick up some maple falvoured bacon on my way home and enjoy it during the hockey game tonight before you guys show up and start chasing our choice beavers. :canada:

Hopefully by the time the Lakers/Nuggets game is on I'll have a direct tap into your better beer breweries. :usa:
