Qe pronouce "eh" as "hey" in Canadian, but in American speak it sounds like "eh". :P

Hotaru 08-12-2004 07:19 AM

I never say Hey or Eh. And on the subject of Canadian weather... it's too hot in Calgary! It's way too hot! I want my winter back!

He sure isn't. :roll:

Did I say it was me? Didn't I say it was you? :wink:

But seriously, if I've asked you to repeat what you just said more than three times, you might want to consider speaking more slowly or clearly or whatever after that. :wink:

I'm only Dutch you know.

Mine was an ever-so-slight less-than-subtle dig at Americans, so it's meant to apply only to whoever's American here.

Damn you! It better be coming my way. I was out watching the meteor shower last night (which kicked ass, btw) and it was only plus 2! In AUGUST! WTF? It's like 10 degrees below normal and we haven't had a hot sunny weekend since mid-July. (I've been waiting for one so I can reduce the nasty swimsuit tan I got mid-July. Still waiting.) So whoever stole Saskatchewan's summer weather, I want it back. (B.C., this means you.)

Um, no comment.
Seriously, please, take your weather. We haven't had any rain in ages. The blackberries are sour...

No fair. I'm too close to the city to see anything good. :(

Hotaru 08-13-2004 07:17 PM

Take the weather away! It's +30 today here in Calgary, which I know isn't that high in comparison to some other places but in compariosn to -30 I'm boiling. Heat makes me lazy, very lazy. Take it back!

MaverickZer0 08-13-2004 10:42 PM

Why don't we just pack this dry heat up and send it off somewhere else?
Say...*cracks knuckles* how about Florida?

catalina_marina 08-13-2004 10:43 PM

Could somebody please take these clouds away? I've never seen a meteor shower. :(

Took me a minute to realize you were speaking in metric. It's a trick to make Canada sound colder than it is, isn't it, thereby scaring everyone else away and KEEPING IT FOR YOURSELVES!

Hmm. That was a question, and yet it didn't end with a question mark. How odd.

/rant

Hotaru 08-14-2004 04:25 AM

If it were at trick to scare people away from Canada, then we would chose a less-world accepted measuring system. Like imperial.

MaverickZer0 08-14-2004 06:08 AM

Metric works on the Americans though, and they're the only ones we really want out.

Them and the British, that is. Maybe we can come up with a new system for them.

mudshark 08-14-2004 07:57 AM

Militant Canadians ... heh. :lol:

Just the Americans, really. And it's not the Canadians' fault you use a weird system. :roll:

MaverickZer0 08-15-2004 04:36 AM

We use simperial.

Only in Canada can you drive at 80 km/h, then spot something a hundred yards off. Only in Canada can you have size 10 feet, be 6'0", yet say water freezes at 0. Canada will rule the world.

Ahem. Sorry.

Only in Canada? You've never been to the UK before, have you? ;)

MaverickZer0 08-15-2004 08:00 PM

No actually.

Do you guys have a world domination plan too?
