Haha funny canadian thing
I thought this was kind of amusing, mainly because I actually understood them. I bolded the ones that I am familar with:
You Know You're From Canada When...
You're not offended by the term, "Homo Milk."
You understand the phrase, "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."
You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.
You drink pop, not soda.
You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean.
You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars.
You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.(my parents still have some, it's pretty sad but it comes in handy when we go to canada
You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.
You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians.
You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!
You know what a touque is.
You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee".
You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.
You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan."
You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada."
You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.(I just know thats what they call it, oh yeah, and they have a grade 13 too.)
"Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?" (when I'm there you have to say it basically after every sentence or people think you are weird)
Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some.
There's German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food.
You call a "mouse" a "moose".
You like the Americans a little because they don't want Quebec either. (hahaha)
Contests run by anyone other than the government have "skill-testing questions" that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize.
Everything is labelled in English and French.
Milk comes in plastic bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs. (!!!1)
Mountain Dew has no caffeine.
Correction: It's not a "touque", it's a "tuque"
You say 'aboot' not 'about'(acutally it's pronounced like a-boat, not a-boot. tisk tisk.)
There are more pages about Hockey than the news in the newspapers
You know what the plug at the front of the car is for
You can ALMOST understand what Jean Chrétien says
You know what are Tim Horton, Zellers and Canadian Tire
You have a canadian flag sowed on your backpack (unless you live in Québec)
You go overseas and insist that you are Canadian when people hear your
accent to make sure they won't think you are American
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada.

Sooo this week has been pretty boring, but this weekend should be fun. I failed my french quiz today, whoooo! I am so glad that next week is thanksgiving, there is a small possibility that I will get to go to Tampa. It's around 80 degrees there at the moment. Pfft, I could be swimming right now. Anyway, hopefully we will find a house to move into during our stay. Our moving plans haven't been cancelled, but we are still not sure about the date. It all basically depends on when my house sells. It sucks that we keep on pushing the date farther and farther ahead, I just kind of want to get it over with. I might be going to toronto this christmas break again soooo that will be interesting/really really nippy noodles. My OC episode just finished downloading soooo toodle-looo (with double knobs)!
