Hehehe, yesterday was Canadian thanksgiving.
Ohhhh! Your from Canada? Okay I have some questions. Do you really have milk in a bag? And are there yaks roaming around? Do lemmings run into the sea? Do the royal mounties come get you? Do you know French?Are there sled dogs and mooses? Are there lumberjacks? Do you say "eh?" instead of "what?" or "duh"? Are there slurpees made from venison? I Sil Vous Plait? I hope you don't mind answering these questions! Some people might know the FIF song "Oh Canada" and I got these questions from that song. But I seriously want to know the answers.
Oh my, lots of questions! I only hope that I can do the answers justice! YES, we have milk in bags. You get a special jug, put the rectangle shape bag in, cut off one corner, and viola! (I think bags are the best way to go, because then you get the same amount of milk as in a 4 litre jug, but in 4 bags, so it won't spoil) I have never seen a yak, but I suppose there may be some running around the more northern parts of Canada. I barely know what a lemming is, but I'm pretty sure that they belong in the hotter climates, or am I thinking of another strange creature?!? We don't have Mounties here, we have regular police, like you would have. But once I went to a Mountie exhibition, they did all kinds of fancy tricks in formation on their horses. Yes, I know French, but I had to learn it, just like you may have had to learn Spanish. But it is mandatory for us to take 2 years of highschool french. Oh, and my mum was born in Montreal! I have never seen a sled dog, but my grandmum saw a moose when she was visiting farther up north! Uh oh, the "eh" thing again! When we use eh, it is not like an ole grampy would use it if he didn't hear something. I would say eh when I was looking for agreement, as in "It's cold enough to freeze the hind leg off a lemming, eh? (some americans would use 'huh' in the same way. I have never had a slurpee, much less one made of venison. In fact, I've never had venison, period! I don't know what you were trying to say with the last thing "I sil vous plait" but sil vous plait means if you please in French...[>:]
In response to Silver surfer, of course we have turkey!!!!! What else would we eat at Thanksgiving, frozen lemming snow cones, perhaps?!? lol And while we're talking about snow cones, the closest contact I've had with those was while watching Monsters Inc, where the abominable snowman offers the little green guy and the fuzzy blue one 'lemon' snow cones!! that was funny...
