Oh, and, uh...

It rains all the time in Oregon.

Hell, it doesn't even rain MOST of the time. (And it almost never snows.)

You probably never even been to Texas. It's not the truth Milton, that's why I posted it... I don't wear a cowboy hat and neither does the 1 million other people I see everyday. Go pet your red stapler and stutter in a dark corner or something.

Not ANYMORE. I'm sure Texas was quite the place to be if you were a cowboy way back when.. same with California (I think.. ) but now it's not that way.

I've said it like that before . I don't anymore though.

I think at least a few people in Texas wear cowboy hats, I've saw some in California ..

I´m more like smalandians too.

They also say that we´re...*sniff*...stingy.

Going along with the Berkeley, CA -- Anyone who goes to the University of California, Berkeley will become a protester

False -- in my 2.5 years at the campus, I've only seen about 100 students at most do some type of protest in that time span. The remainder of the over 25,000 students do more traditional college things like procrastinating, partying, and of course, studying

  • We live in houses, except for the occasional nutjob.
  • We do say 'eh', but NOT at the end of every single sentence.
  • We aren't any less advanced than the US. We are right next to them, after all. I'm using broadband and have a digital cable system right now.
  • It's true that natives don't have to pay GST/PST and in some cases get free land, but it's crappy land. Not nearly as good as you might think. I live with one, and he works just like everyone else.
  • The temperature here does go above -30°C. In fact, it rarely even goes that low except in January and February. It's PLUS 30°C right now. Additionally, you won't see any penguins or polar bears outside of zoos. We do have some beavers but you rarely see them in town.
  • It's spelled 'colour'.
  • As of today, $1 US = $1.20 Canadian. Not $1,000,000. Not even $1,000.
  • It's not entirely true that Canadian girls are hotter than Americans. They're about the same. The difference is that a lot more of them are hot in Canada.
  • Not all of us are hillbillies... though given that most Canadians live near the south, there are a fair amount. (Why do hillbillies always flock south, anyway? )
  • Gas prices aren't way different, we just measure them different. Yes, we use Metric. A lot of people still talk in terms of inches and miles though. (Damn Americans, convert already!)

    Maybe not in your crazy country, where crooks chase cops, cats have puppies, and hot snow falls up.

    And Metric pwns.

    But hot snow falls up anywhere. I wouldn't call that crazy at all.

    Minnesota:
    • It's not freaking cold up here during the summer time. We get our share of 80-90's with the 60-70 degree humidity, kthxbye.
    • Apparently we have accents....someday I'd like to hear this supposed accent. (This may be more true if you go south towards the Cities*.)
    • "There's nothing there." Wrong state, go south until you hit Iowa, or southwest until you hit South Dakota. Actually, many businesses started in Minnesota, 3M, Greyhound, Best Buy, to name a few.
