16. I got a proposition
I live in Montana. We voted for Bush, but went Democratic for in-state offices. If we go all the way in 2006, invade us. We will give you all the nukes that sit in silos around here. By itself, Montana is in the top four largest nuclear states in the world. Have a ball.

18. Wow, I never knew that
Canada arming itself with nuclear weapons sounds interesting... well it'll definitely keep Calgary, Ralph Klein and Quebec in line.

24. Haven't been keeping up,
how's old Ralphie doing these days? Becoming the little Fascist like we expect him to be?

Now here's some insight that just popped into my head. This IS like WWII. We are Germany, the U.K. is Japan, and Canada is Italy. I mean come on, isn't Klein just like Mussolini? A hapless, second-rate dictator with no respect from the others? Am I wrong?

31. Lets cut out the BS.
What would your hand in marraige cost me? I'm poor, so I could provide back-rubs for the rest of your life and $2000 US dollars for fake vows. I could swing that. The same goes for HEyHEY, but I would wear latex gloves during the back rubbing..

I carry hot glue covered latex gloves diped in broken Windows ME CD's. That way he can bitch about blue screens and drivers while I thrash his back. It is a win-win..

32. I was tring to figuar out how to draw a similar map.
I didn't think of joining Canada though. Cool.

Can California succeed? Texas has the right, since we joined the union willingly. California was part of Texas back then.

I'm in Germany. Most people here are sain. Everyone has been really comforting after this last election. Only 2% of Germans aprove of Bush. That's about how many neonazis there are here too.

40. I love it up there
I had the privilege of getting to visit there back in '98. I was there for about a month. I felt like I was home. Being from Texas really made me want to live up there.

I explored a lot of the islands between Vancouver, and Vancouver Island. Flew into Vancouver and stayed a couple days, but then we went to the US to visit a friend. Stayed in Victoria, that is a beautiful city. Then went over to Salt Spring Island, stayed at Daffodil Cove. Went up to Quadra Island didn't get to explore that one much. Stayed at Denman Island at a neat B&B very nice couple hosted our visit. Then onward to Gabriola Island, met a real neat guy while waiting for a ferry. He had a little music production studio.
It was so cool to see harbor seals and exotic starfish, bald eagles. I got to experience 2 bald eagles when I explored Qualicum Falls when they flew by at head level.

Now I've gone and done it got myself all worked up and homesick. I'll have to dig out my video tapes and reminisce. That should cheer me up while making me more homesick!ARRRRR

I think I might be your long lost sister. Remember when Mom had to give me up for adoption? And I got stuck here in redneck land. Surely you must remember that, although that was a long time ago!

If you need a graphic artist or video editor, keep me in mind.

43. $1 USD now gets $1.20 CDN
on http://www.xe.com the Canadian dollar has raised in value against the American, mostly due to how the American dollar has been performing in money markets.

47. Please add Hawai'i to the United States of Canada
we actually had our shot back in the 1880s when we were still an independent country. A Canadian named Ashford was pushing Confederation as an alternative to being swallowed up by, um, Jesusland.

We do have direct flights to Vancouver. I was discussing this yesterday with yvr girl. You two wanna fight over me? :-) (That'd be a first!!!)

Now I'm missing Vancouver.

Ooh....Skytrain. Seabus. Wondering what exactly is in a Tim Horton's doughnut. Gastown. Getting lost inside Metrotown. Stanley Island. Lions Gate Bridge. Cactus Club Cafe.

And above all, the arms of my sweetie.

Grumble.....

Dang it. San Diego doesn't feel like home anymore.
