Why not annex Canada, eh?

[solo47]

Think of the fresh water, as well as the huge oil & gas resources, most of which are still untapped. Uranium is still being mined. Canadians of course will be miffed but most are too polite to get really loud in their protests .

Of course, Americans would have to come to terms with hockey, curling, lacrosse, baby seal clubbing, & polar bear swims each New Year's.

No qualms here. That's what they get for being pussies and paying taxes to a now defunct monarch who lives thousands of miles away. At least this way, their owners will be a lot closer.

The fishing and hunting are prime also, but being a convicted felon, I am not allowed to enjoy any of it. There beer is stronger too.

I'm all for it.

 

[greyowl]

There beer is stronger too.

So is our spelling.

Oh yeah, smart guy? How's this for a smartass answer? His spelling is just fine. It's his GRAMMAR that is incorrect.

Hmmm... good one, Mr Grizz. His grammar because his word order was wrong, right? What he meant to say was "Beer is stronger there too"!

Canadians I am certain pay absolutely no taxes to Great Britain, though they do support a Governor General (once the Queen's rep) whose office is mainly public relations & ceremonials. Pretty hot babe, too, Michelle Jean. Much more trade money is simply confiscated by that great bully, U.S. Commerce, who charge extra tariffs on Canadian imports, despite something called The Free Trade Agreement.

Canuckland keeps the Queen cause they know American greed will be less likely to rape a lady.

Actually it's because he should have written "Their beer is stronger too!" with Their instead of There.

No. That would be a misspelling. Obviously there was a misspelling, but Mr Grizz gave us an alternative perspective. Mr Grizz called it bad grammar instead, which implies improper sentence structure.

I do have the credentials for these fine distinctions, y'know.

No, it's not mispelled. There is spelled T-H-E-R-E. It is, however, misused, therefore making it a function of grammar and not spelling.

 

[Weatherlite]

Grizz be right dat yo! Ummm.....yeah Grizz is correct, sir! lol

Actually, technically both alternatives for writing it would be grammatically correct. I was just saying what I figured Grizz was talkin bout.

 

[THL]

What the hell?

So are you guys trying to say that they're beer isn't stronger?

rofl @ THL .

come to Arizona in the winter. You will think we have already annexed Canada.

I see: "There, beer is stronger too!"

Back when I were a teenager in Alberta Carling made an awful tasting brew called Old Stock Ale. It were 12% alcohol & tasted like rye whiskey when warm. But damned it were great for getting a crazy buzz going before going out to get in fights with other drunk teenagers & a few in their 20s at the Lake Pavilion dance hall.

Odd reminscence.

Hey, that works, too, solo! Pretty slick. However, I was referring to the misuse of a homonym. It should be "Their beer is stronger."

Ooooo yeah, I lived for four years in Prescott & Tucson. Snowbirds from the Great White North with money for wings were a common sight. Makes me wonder which way this annexation thing is really going.

Good snag Griz. You're right, THL's post could be read as either a spelling error or grammar error. I'm so produ of your growing command of the English language. Let me guess ... you've dumped all your wetback friends and have been hanging with Canadians!

Being eaten alive by mosquitoes while getting the shit kicked out of me at the Pav while blitzed on Old Stock with Baby Duck chasers... brings back heart-warming memories doesn't it?

 

[THL]

Do any of you guys ever get tired of patting yourselves/each other on the back for being so smart? It was a simple error that any decent 6th grader would have caught and you pricks act like you discovered the cure for cancer.

And Greyowl, I'd be more concerned with the black flies up there than the mosquitoes. We have plenty of mosquitoes down here and I wouldn't trade them for your black flies. Those things are brutal.

No thanks; it already looks like you guys annexed Mexico. Id take the dudes from up North over the ones from south of the border anyday. At least the Canadians like a real sport (hockey), as opposed to the fag sport the southerners like (soccer).
