Awesome. Now I can finally use my fun Canadian metaphors in diplomacy. Like calling a Lepanto a two line pass, or saying that your ally is bossier than Stephen Harper to his cabinet.

I've never actually known what a lepanto really is.....

Geez, what a hoser, eh?

I am in Montreal now thru Wed for a conference. That doesn't count, right? :) :) :)

I guess it would have to be a live game for you Crazyter :)

@ StevenC: are you a Canuck, or just asking about the Lepanto? (In general discussion, Lepanto means Italy attacks Turkey.)

Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a president.
I speak English and French, not American.
And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, not policing,
diversity, not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!!

Canada is the second largest landmass!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America

My name is Joe!!
And I am Canadian!!!

Lost to Russia two years in a row IN THE FINALS and you say they are the best.
(not Canadian I'm a russianbliving in California )

Oh, that one stings, eh!

To be more specific StevenC, its an opening by Italy (Ven holds, Rom-Apu, Nap-ION) that is anti-turkish. And then the following move set, which has apulia convoyed to tunis, a fleet build in naples, the fleet in ionian moving to EMS, naples to Ionian, and tunis convoyed to Syria all by fall 1902. Its pretty basic stuff. You should sign up for SoW, eh.

"and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal."
long live the beaver haha
(no I'm not Canadian but i like people who can pronounce about)

btw your poem is excellent. it really gave me an idea about Canada

"and the best part of North America"
and the home of the finest pussy I would like to add.

The quotation is actually a pretty famous "rant" from a beer commercial a few years back.

Here's the original:

my god...
at the point where he shows the beaver on the screen it's hilarious
if it's supposed to be a comedy or parody it's great
if it's just a nationalistic scream then Canadians suck...

It's a beer commercial.

Then i just can't understand your humor :P

Did you not see the last frames? Molsen Canadian? Beer behind it? It's pretty obvious hellalt...

no it isn't. i didn't even notice the beer brand name.

ps: talking about obviousness there are some people here that join anonymous games and they think that they did something wrong just because they can see their user name. they can't figure out that they are the only ones that can see it. well, that's indeed obvious...

LOL, yes that most certainly is obvious (the anonymous thing).

Chrispminis is for sure Canadian if we can track him down.
