Indeed... that has been my experience.

I once spoke at a conference, and the very pretty PR person who was looking after me suggested we had dinner in the hotel that evening.

And at the end of the meal the only question she asked was "Your room or mine then?"

I shit you not.




Blonderfluff -> RE: Should the United States annex Canada? (2/2/2014 5:50:56 AM)

Lol. Yup. That sounds about right. In general , we do as we like and don't worry about social conventions.

ETA. I am currently naked.

As you've probably surmised, I wasn't complaining, mind you!

Yes, my sense was that she was simply very comfy making the suggestion.

Apart from some of the crazy shit they eat for breakfast, in all my 10 years of travelling frequently from the tips of Scandinavia to the southern tips of Europe as a truck driver, all I can say is the Danes and Swedes are by far the best when it comes to being open and less confrontational.
And they sure as fuck are the friendliest I ever met, and arguably the prettiest too!

And with me being only 5ft2" at best, the first thing I usually saw when I was up in that neck of the woods was - a facefull of tits!! [:D]

We do tend to be freakishly good looking.




DaddySatyr -> RE: Should the United States annex Canada? (2/2/2014 6:10:05 AM)

I've been to Canadia, a dozen or so times but, based upon the behavior I've seen exhibited here from "our Northern neighbours", my answer to this question has to be:

"Canadia would be okay if it weren't filled with Canadians"

We say similar things about our neighbours too -
"France is such a wonderful country - if it wasn't for the French".

With american forces, I think Lichtenstein might be preferable, or maybe Luxembourg..............I think though with the way things have been going lately, San Marino might be about the right fighting weight as long as they don't bring all their forces to bear on the american liberators.

Lictenstein would be an easy mark, even for America: no armed forces, lots of money, nobody in Europe gives a fuck about them. Perfect, and unlike that other thing-governed libertarian utopia (Somalia), they'd actually be worth invading.

Since we are a polite race, be advised we will be turning off your water before half-time and invading you during the 4th quarter of the SuperBowl [at the 2-minute warning if it's close]. With all your distracted beta-males, exploded toilets and post-over-eating naps, it'll be a breeze.
Three-down football, universal health-care, and spelling 'honour' with a 'u' for all! You're welcome, eh?




kdsub -> RE: Should the United States annex Canada? (2/2/2014 8:26:17 AM)

Please wait until after all the good advertisements have aired... I am hoping to see another horse farting in face one this year. You will have to admit.... no one does classy advertisements like Americans.

More notes on that "Queen" thing:

quote:


To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

(You should look up ‘revocation’ in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron , will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘colour,’ ‘favour,’ ‘labour’ and ‘neighbour.’ Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters, and the suffix ‘-ize’ will be replaced by the suffix ‘-ise.’ Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up ‘vocabulary’).

2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ”like’ and ‘you know’ is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter ‘u” and the elimination of ‘-ize.’

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can’t sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you’re not ready to shoot grouse.

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth – see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one’s ears removed with a cheese grater.

11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside ofAmerica. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad.

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!

There's nothing to worry about here for Canadians. Your southern neighbours have so obviously gone soft and present no threat.

Whatever happened to good old days policy of invade first and ask questions later? I can't believe that I am actually seeing Americans discuss and debate the merits of invading another country. It used to be 'Bomb the place into the Stone Age, send in the Marines and shoot any surviving living thing ... and then ask questions (if any were left to be asked)'. This policy, which worked so well for the USA in the past, seems to have been abandoned and replaced by a foppish group of dilettantes calmly discussing the merits and demerits of invading ... like a girls debating society. Pass the mascara puh-llleeeaaasssseee!*

So Canadians can sleep well knowing that their southern neighbours have lost their mojo. Wimps don't do invasions!

* No excuses. There were given ample warning about the consequences of fluoridising the water supply and ignored the peril. Serves 'em right.


There people go again, talking about invasions! Liberation! The word is liberation! Don't you understand? Those poor people have never feasted on decent chicken wings. That is why we must go in. That and to help ourselves to some of that liquid gold.

I find it interesting that you think we have become a peaceful people and that this is a bad thing. Do you really equate peacefulness with wimpiness?








I thought that we wanted the maple syrup.

quote:

On the morning of July 30, 2012, an accountant named Michel Gauvreau arrived at the Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve, housed in a huge red brick warehouse on the side of the Trans-Canadian Highway in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, about two hours northeast of Montreal. Inside, baby-blue barrels of maple syrup were stacked six high in rows hundreds deep. Full, each barrel weighs about 620 pounds. With grade A syrup trading at about $32 per gallon, that adds up to $1,800 a barrel, approximately 13 times the price of crude oil.

The fiscal year was coming to a close, and the Federation of Québec Maple Syrup Producers had hired Gauvreau’s company, Veragrimar, to audit its inventory. Québec dominates the maple syrup market, and since 2002 the Federation has operated as a legal cartel, setting production quotas and prices, authorizing buyers, and stockpiling syrup. There were around 16,000 barrels here, about one-tenth of Québec’s annual production. The gap between the rows was barely wide enough to walk through, and the rubber soles of Gauvreau’s steel-tip boots stuck to the sugar-coated concrete floor.

He scaled a row of barrels and was nearing the top of the stack when one of them rocked with his weight. He nearly fell. Regaining his balance, he rattled the barrel: It was light because it was empty. He soon found others that were empty. After notifying the Federation’s leaders and returning with them to examine the stockpile, they unscrewed the cap on a full barrel. The liquid inside was not goopy, brown, or redolent with the wintry scent of vanilla, caramel, and childhood; it was thin, clear, and odorless. It was water.

You invade during the 4th quarter, the game will be interrupted and then you will really be in trouble.
Remember the Heidi bowl?

crazyml -> RE: Should the United States annex Canada? (2/2/2014 10:11:45 AM)

Well that's the problem with your gen-Y imperialists.

In the good old days, all that was needed to build the largest empire the world has seen to date, was plenty of pluck (supplied by the British private school system) and a Bible (supplied by King James).

;-)

[ED to add..]

Obviously Hiram Maxim's machine gun came in handy at times too

We don't need to take their maple syrup, we have plenty of our own right here.

You know, now that I think about it, besides their oil and their whiskey, I can't think of anything of theirs we'd really want.
