Is this still like a National day off for most Canadians?

Yup Willie, most businesses and govt organizations are closed. And, like Mudcat, my self-employed self woke up at 9 wondering why no clients had called yet. Doh.
We're throwing Bettie II one hell of a party tonight - she'll have to call in sick tomorrow morning.

All Canadians enjoy the day off to celebrate the holliday.
Francophones in Quebec are especially patriotic this day after all it is a celebration of an English Queen.
It was the English that spared the French back in the 1800's when they conquered this country.

I knew the Americans wouldn't let me down in this thread.
Today is the day Canadians are required by law to drink a minimum of one dozen beers and then play clumsy frisbee football. Fortunately for me doing smack is considered an acceptable alternative.

It's a day off to recover from the excess alcohol you put in your system since this is the official start to the Canadian Summer.
BTW I'm not recovering I'm still drinking (and painting my living room).

I know when I travel I'm always on the lookout for people burning Canadian flags and chanting "death to Canada"
Canadians are used to being hated around the world.
Doesn't bother us now.

You're not going to like this but, technically, it's not Victoria's Day here... Patriots' Day:
I've never heard of a Canadian car or anything, what is their largest export Canadian bacon?

Besides delightful posting forum contributors? Not really.

It's hard to picture you as a drug addict after seeing that wedding video, Mud. You look and sound like a wise college professor, which makes the doing-smack running gag all the funnier.

Canadia exports ginger ale, whiskey and Rick Moranis. That's good enough for me.

If GWB was still president this would warrant an immediate invasion, actually one of my favorite actors is Canadian John Candy RIP

I take that as a compliment, both in terms of my current rehabilitated appearance and the viability of the ongoing smack gag, which I confess I really enjoy a lot. Thanks go to batemanpatrickl for the inspiration.
Sometime I should take a scan of my U of T student card and post it side-by-each with that video. If anything is going to scare the kids straight, that would be it.

How clever is this guy Bread? I mean the guy writes for SBR and does not even spell check his "articles". I see he is bored without me so I decided to give him a crumb for the day. This should hold him over for a week. Have at it swamp trash.

Why can't we just get along BP? I mean, you look great in a thong and I'm getting too old to be toying around with the likes of you these days.
Truce?

I have no problems with you. Seems like you wanted to pile up on me.
