Did you know that Wayne Gretzky once tried to copyright the number 99?
Imagine, having to pay a buck Gretzky for that Big Mac, or hearing “Gretzky Luftballoons” over the radio.
Madness, I tell you.
UPDATE:
Sad news. His mother has just died after a long illness.
Totally natural. No assists.
He’s Canadian.
In the US, he’d have to use 85 1/2.
Hating them isn’t good enough. I say we invade Canada. Dirty pseudo-Frenchmen.
spacemonkey has had the password for the site for 1 day, and he’s already screwed up the date!
Totally my fault. I was watching news of Ariel Sharon and got my Calendars mixed up.
(Fun facts about Laurence: I run the Hebrew Calendar extension in Firefox, set the system to 24-hour time, and turn off the Goy calendar display for Windows XP.)
This isn’t a reason to hate Canadians. This is a reason to laugh our asses off at them.
Gunlord
Can Canadians count to 99??
We need Canada to remind us of how good we relly good we are.
“Gretzky Luftballoons” – HA!
Times have changed
Our kids are getting worse
They won’t obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
Should we blame the government?
Or blame society?
Or should we blame the images on TV?
No, blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their beady little eyes
And flappin’ heads so full of lies
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
We need to form a full assault
It’s Canada’s fault!
Don’t blame me
For my son Stan
He saw the darn cartoon
And now he’s off to join the Klan!
And my boy Eric once
Had my picture on his shelf
But now when I see him he tells me to f*** myself!
Well, blame Canada
Blame Canada
It seems that everything’s gone wrong
Since Canada came along
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
They’re not even a real country anyway
My son could’ve been a doctor or a lawyer rich and true,
Instead he burned up like a piggy on the barbecue
Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Heck no!
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their hockey hullabaloo
And that bitch Anne Murray too
Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
For…
The smut we must stop
The trash we must bash
The Laughter and fun
Must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before somebody thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus
Here’s the latest craziness from Paul Martin as he runs up to Canada’s election day.
I’ll never forget Barbara Feldon as Agent Gretzky in Get Smart.
You know, our local hockey coach has the same name as that guy. What a coinkydink.
Thank you for the best laugh ever. My Ivy League Canadian boyfriend and I have quite the laugh at your trite (is that too big of a word for you) and pedestrian American blog. The civil country to your north (That’s above you, we have seen the US education scores.) once was attacked by the Americans and I point out that you gun lovers lost that war.
AdorableGirlfriend- When I last checked, your best comedians come down here to work and be successful. It’s like gardening jobs for Mexicans, only a two-drink minimum (instead of a cinco-cervesa minimum before beating up your wife and ten kids in the barrio)
The only reason comedians bother showing up to Montreal is the lax drug policy. (Well, that and the fact that the younger groupies lie about their age, but Jay Leno’s married now, right?)
“(Canada)…once was attacked by the Americans and I point out that you gun lovers lost that war.”
You’re clearly mistaken, Moosylvania is still not part of the US:

Hate to point this out, AG, but “trite” is actually not that big a word.
Unless five letters is big. Everything’s relative, I suppose.
number of Canadian Universities in the worlds top 20?
NONE
Number of US universities in the worlds top 20
ALL BUT 3

NOW HISTORY BUFFS..
On September 12, while he was still in upper Ohio, news reached him that Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry had annihilated the British fleet on Lake Erie. Harrison occupied Detroit and pushed into Canada, defeating the fleeing British and their Indian allies on the Thames River. The entire region now came under American control.
Another decisive turn in the war occurred a year later when Commodore Thomas Macdonough won a point-blank gun duel with a British flotilla on Lake Champlain in upper New York. Deprived of naval support, a British invasion force of 10,000 men retreated to Canada. At about the same time, the British fleet was harassing the Eastern seaboard with orders to “destroy and lay waste.” On the night of August 24, 1814, an expeditionary force burst into Washington, D.C., home of the federal government, and left it in flames. President James Madison fled to Virginia. American morale was at an all-time low when the British captured the City of Washington and burned the White House.
As the war continued, British and American negotiators each demanded concessions from the other. The British envoys decided to concede, however, when they learned of Macdonough’s victory on Lake Champlain. Urged by the Duke of Wellington to reach a settlement, and faced with the depletion of the British treasury due in large part to the heavy costs of the Napoleonic Wars, the negotiators for Great Britain accepted the Treaty of Ghent negotiated in Belgium on December 24, 1814
Unaware that a peace treaty had been signed, the two sides continued fighting in New Orleans, Louisiana. Led by General Andrew Jackson, the Americans scored the greatest land victory of the war. General Andrew Jackson’s leadership at the Battle of New Orleans changed everything. The battles with British troops at Chalmette on December 28, 1814, and January 1 and 8, 1815, are among the most decisive American military victories in our history.
