<font color="skyblue">You're not offended by the term "HOMO MILK".

You understand the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

You drink Pop, not Soda.

You know that a Mickey and 2-4's mean, "party at the camp, eh!!!"

You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars and no Americans.

You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.

You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, Michael J. Fox, John Candy, William Shatner, Tom Green, Matthew Perry, Mike Myers, Neve Campbell, Pamela Anderson Lee & many more, are Canadians.

You know that the CEO of American Airlines is a Canadian.

You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed".

Your local newspaper covers national news on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.

You know that the four seasons mean: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road work.

You know that when it's 25 degrees outside, it's a warm day.

You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.

You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan".

You perk up when you hear the theme song from 'Hockey Night in Canada'.

You are in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

"Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more polite than, "Huh?"

You actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all of your Canadian friends!!! And then you send them to your American friends just to confuse them... further!

I'm not sure if this is getting at Canadians, but I suspect is getting at the Yanks more... clue me in someone... :D

Are you not American to? I thought Canada was in North America. Sorry, my mistake. ;) :D

Cavalier, you call soda pop? I know some do but most Michiganers I´ve talked to still say soda. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] Will they never learn?

But I'm an American In Cuba [img]tongue.gif[/img] You forgot about meeeeh!

Luvian 01-21-2003 01:56 PM

Most of those apply to me.

catzenpewters 01-21-2003 04:41 PM

Well most of these apply to me too.

Though I must say that 25 (if farenheit) is bloody cold around here. It is unusual to get below freezing here even in the winter, except maybe at night.

lucius 01-21-2003 05:47 PM

I guess I am more canadian then I thought since all those apply but I always say ze not zed
