Hello. Yes, another ficless update! Aren't i cool.
Anyway - Cat and i were talking and Cat was wondering something and now i'm wondering it so...
If you are from the UK, is there some lingering...national sentiment that sure, they've got James Marsters and Supernatural and 31 Flavors but...that should all be *ours! ours!!* those rat bastards?
I personally cannot conceive of such a thing but...does such a sentiment exist anywhere? When Bollywood tosses out hottie singing guys in eyeliner and chicks who are just so curvey and perfect is there a smoldering *grrrrr* anywhere?
Idle curiousity, folks. I think the answers are gonna be fun. If i get any.
And hey - now's your chance to tell me *every tiny thing* about America that bugs the crap out of you!
*just for the record, i despise The Shrub*
*so you'll be preachin' to the choir on *that* subject*
In other news? Deadwood!!!
OMFGILUFFIT!!!

Oh we pay for it, make no mistake. Taxes up here are pretty nuts. It's just that *everyone* pays into it and the wealth gets evened out.

Glad you liked the post. I do my best writing at 3am on sleep deprivation.
You know the funny thing? I'm from the west coast. I don't say "eh"much. Seriously, it's mostly an eastern and middle thing. Although it does slip in occasionally.
Hell, I have trouble *understanding* a Cape Bretoner, let alone talking like one. (To clarify, Cape Breton is in Nova Scotia, on the far eastern side. But not as far as Newfoundland and Labrador. They have their own *time zone*.) Linguists figure that the eastern Canadian accents are the closest thing to an extant Shakespearean English accent there is.
That's another thing. Americans seem to have trouble grasping just how big Canada is. Take the States and tack on another four provinces and a couple of Territories. Big ones. Like easily four to five times as big as Texas. BC, our third largest province is roughly the size of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California and Arizona combined, with possibly enough space left over for Utah.
Big.
Actually, the Americans are not nearly as guilty of this one as the British. I have had to explain to people that it is not actually possible to do a day trip from Victoria to Banff. (No I'm not joking. We're talking nearly 600 miles here.) Hey, it's just one province over.
*facepalm*
Um. Ranting. Ranting. More Ranting. And a little shutting up:-D

I know Cape Breton from reading 'Captains Courageous'. :)
Yeah, 'Merica is big, but not *as* big. I like that, personally, about Canada - all that trackless wilderness. So cool!
*pet pet pet*
Rants are fun.
