Blame Canada


I have many Canadian friends like St Dickeybird, cm, Paul, Alan, Denis (50% of the time) and celeste. But I have had it with Canada! I’m mad as can be and I’m not gonna take it anymore! Sunday the wife and I are enjoying a pretty sunny morning. Blacks clouds and rain blow in, straight from Canada according to the weather forecaster, with snow showers blowing this way tonight. As a matter of fact, ALL of our bad weather comes from Canada! Shouldn’t there be a treaty or something, stating they have to keep that stuff on their side of the border? The South Park crowd have it right, when they Blame Canada.

Given that most of it originates in Alaska, shouldn't you blame them?

Actually, it is a known fact that our particular and exact crummy weather originates in the suburbs of Toronto, and since you people don't want it...
my mother says snow is expected every day this week on their little mountaintop.

Hm. I hadn't thought of this, but hey---why not? I WILL blame Canada from now on. Bad, bad Canada.

YEAH! Blame us! We control the weather and will wear you down with snow! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Susan, they may be nice people and all, but how often do you hear 'there will be nice, warm tropical breezes today blowing in from Canada.' I just pulled my monster warm woolen parka, huge gloves and ugly brown fuzzy hat out of the closet and went out. I needed that stuff.

Gordo, first we heard about Canadian spies in our midst plotting our overthrow, then we hear 'Alberta clipper' and the prevailing westerlies blow this wet gray junk down at us. I'm freezing. What do you people do, blame the USSR?
And on my Canadian friends list I forgot gordo. Gordo can get onto that friends list by inviting us north for our summer vacation at his cottage. I hope dogs are allowed.
Special Kingston tribute, by the way, on Tuesday. I plan to apologize for my thuggish attitudes towards Canada then.

The USSR hasn't been around for 15 years, Gary .. ;-)

We deal with it.

There will be an invitation extended come Spring, Gary. Have no fear. Dogs are more than welcome as well.

I know. The USSR was always a good target though, North Korea isn't too bad either, but a little far away.
Gordo--we are not wackos. Neither are our dogs. And we don't cultivate friendships based entirely on their waterfront vacation properties. Really. We don't.

I really liked that movie even though it makes fun of our accents and the way the tops of our heads flap open when we talk.

I know. I wanted to poke a little fun but not be impolite. You folks, do, ah, er, talk that way to some degree or other.

Actually, Toronto's weather comes from the Ohio Valley. Ohio just won't admit it.

Thanks for putting a good rousing round of "Blame Canada!" in my head. Now if I could only get it out instead of on an endless brain loop.

Lucia, I suggest a round of Beastie Boys to cleanse the pallet. See post above, with zebra.
