Explain to me why Canadian swimmers are allowed on this forum. Seriously. I mean, they talk funny. They eat strange foods. They even understand curling. Yet they are allowed to post, start threads, and maintain blogs.
Speaking of threads, I seem to have misplaced one of mine. If you find it, send me a pm.

Seriously. I mean, they talk funny. Howdy, US honeyed fish&chip?
Seriously we're not that bad are we? Certainly not worst than our cousins The Brits?
They eat strange foods. True that. Some even go as far as having some KFP, Burger King and a Coors Light (yiack! d'rather drink British tar or Belgium skunk)
They even understand curling. (most of us just pretend to)
Yet they are allowed to post, start threads, and maintain blogs. Yeah yeah, in other words we prefer to populate our "good friends" USMS Forum with state of the art accurate interesting content pro bono :blah:
Speaking of threads, I seem to have misplaced one of mine. If you find it, send me a pm. I saw it crossing the North border an hour ago! And I'm not surprised!
Explain to me why Canadian swimmers are allowed on this forum. (we have a shortage of good cardiologists. they all move to the US after having paid 20k for their whole studies, dammit)
On a more serious note, I have always thought that few exceptions aside, US has had quite an edge over Canada in swimming. Not as bad as in Cycling, but still. Several reasons for this, which could all be wrapped up under one word: Tradition. This may explain why the best swim discussion forum isn't hosted on our side of the border. We're not going to release your "fugitive" thread though. We now own at least one. So forget it!
:canada: :bitching: OH CANADA :bitching: :canada:
Ahhh the Poutine.
That alone explains why our Pavillon scores top 10 during China's Expo (currently taking place). We attract them with our poutine smell.
Same marketing trick that KFP uses.
Kentucky Fried Poutines :D
Sorry, my tongue twisted. In french it's PFK, usually, you just need to read them backward to get the English translation. The best Phicken fast food chain is obviously an exception.
Thanks for the laugh.
I was joking full blown in my original response by the way. I've loved KFC from day 1 in my life. I know where every one of their store is located in my area, cause I just can't walk nearby without getting trapped.
BTW, for those who are unfortunate enough to not know what a poutine is, it has nothing to do with Russia. It's a delicious meal invented in Quebec. It consists of a huge plate of home made french fries, with one or two bags of cheese (like those found in depaneurs) and brown sauce on top. They say that eating an Ashton Poutine Deluxe, is equivalent to eating 1 pound of butter. It leaves you with the same kind of stomach/liver issue.
An urban legend says that due to a miraculous chemical reaction, a poutine deluxe would represent the best weapon for how you call them? Hang over? So usually, when we go out late and get real drunk, we end up curing ourselves with a deluxe. Ashton opens at 2am I believe.
try it folks, you'll come back and say thanks.
The cheese is cheese curds, think of cottage cheese on steroids. And the brown sauce is gravy. I never gathered up the courage to try it while visiting Quebec - although did buy cheese curds to snack on at a quickie mart. They were good, with a squeeky texture. Sold like Jerky in this country, in differing flavors.
Kentucky Fried Pickles?

Oh thank you!!!
Squeeky cheese curds, that is a sign that this cheese was very fresh.
So, a plate of french fries, 2 bags of sqeeky cheese curds and a full can of brown gravy.
You guys might want to add some corned beef, we sometimes add our own version (the smoked meet) to it.
The most consumed food in the USA is Mac & Cheese a far cry from Poutine. The people from the USA do not appreciate a delicacy like poutine.
Beans the second most popular food in the USA, beans are the reason for all the pollution of our clean air. They cause eruptions. Now if they could turn the beans into gasoline rather than into just gas (bad air). The price of oil would be reduced.
