I came across something in the news today, that stinks to high heaven of passive/aggressive overly polite Canadian conspiracy. It seems a sink hole opened under the Corvette Museum in Kentucky, swallowing a number of extremely valuable corvettes. Sinkhole swallows pricey Corvettes at hallowed museum Now CNN does not actually come out and say it was a Canadian operation, but is it just a fluke that this happened after we started discussing the possible annexation of Canada? I think not. This was clearly a first strike against a sacred and hollowed symbol of the American sports car. If Obama was any kind of president, he would order a full invasion of Canada, as I said before, should only take a couple of troops of girl scouts. You may be on to something. Is there a Tim Hortons near that museum? If there is I bet that's where the Canadians staged the dastardly deed from. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of Tim Hortons operating in the U.S.A. in recent years. My own home town had only one for years and years but in the last five years three more have opened up. People have even joked that the place is starting to look a lot like Canada! I am now beginning to suspect that Tim Hortons is nothing more than a front to conceal a fifth column. Be on your guard, America! BE ON YOUR GUARD!!!! I have never heard of "Tim Hortons," (no, really. Never!) so googled that (plus Denver) and came up with this article: http://www.denverpost.com/food/ci_14450769 written by a Denver Post writter on assignment during the Vancover Olympics. And I quote: As of September, [2010] 2,971 Tim Hortons franchises dotted Canada. Yes, it has out-pointed McDonald's. Tim Hortons makes up 22.6 percent of all fast-food sales in Canada and controls 62 percent of the national coffee market. For you counting at home, that added up to $2.04 billion in 2008, up from $1.48 billion in 2005. Started by NHL player Tim Horton in 1964, it has expanded into 11 U.S. states, the Dublin zoo and a military base in Kandahar, Afghanistan. It's awfully noble of Canada to feed our troops, but why do I not feel comforted knowing our military is being fueled by fried dough? And then, at the end: going to Tim Hortons makes me feel . . . I don't know, kinda Canadian, you know, eh? Thank you Denver Post guy for discovering (and revealing) the basis of the Canadian take-over! Parallel idea: I always thought that when the Big Mac was introduced (in 1969 - Gawd, I am old,) people kept coming back since there was an addictive substance in the "secret sauce." And this just in: quote:
ORIGINAL: MasterCaneman But, but, I kinda like Tim Horton's...man...Eh...omygawd... Maybe, just maybe, the Canadians are invading through diet, eh? Some further Google research gave the history of which U.S. chains had been purchased and when TimHorton, Inc. moved off U.S. Stock Exchange (don't remember which one) to the Canadian one (where they - the enemy - are no longer under the scrutiny of the (OUR) Federal gov't.) Lordie, lordie ..... polite? Yep! Indisdious? Yeppers! As above: Be on your guard, America! BE ON YOUR GUARD!!!! Be on your guard, eh? Edited for spacing, clarity and such. But NO edits to correct spelling errors such as "honour," y'know?
