I just spent the last hour and a bit inside a building on one mountain overlooking another during a nasty snowstorm.. .. inside with me there was a huge curling tournament going on. THen on the TV the hockey game was on, everyone was drinking beer or tea.
I feel like poutine now.
(Ewww no I don't)

3. Tomorrow grab a gun and shoot whiskey jacks |

It may leave you uneasy, but I promise you, it'll make you fit in with the locals.

8. You guys don't eat grilled cheese down there? |
|
Sadly, many younger, and olde Canadians now use the term "fries"
When I was a kid we called em chips and that was just in the 80s. I don't know when the switch was made, I gues I missed the meeting.

9. I'm a proud Canadian too |
|
living in the banana belt of Vancouver island. My daughter lives just out of Seattle though and it truly is a foreign country even there, but was even more foreign where she was before in Alabama.
I think grilled cheese is more or less a Canadian thing. And I remember once in California, I ordered "fries" and asked for some vinegar for them. The waitress thought I was nuts, but brought me a bowl of it (she obviously had no idea how to serve it). Then she went into the kitchen and I could see her and the cook peering around the corner to see what I was going to do with it. It was some yucky old malt vinegar too but I felt like I had to use some anyhow.
