Which one did I miss? And, yes, I was thinking about combining them, but it was already a lot of work just to find them and format them. (No, I don't code by hand anymore, but it's still a pain. ) :)

And your beer is better, too. I'm thinking of a change of residence. The Bay of Fundy is glorius at the change of tides, eh.
Norway: Come for the fun, stay for the lutifisk.

Ah the Bay of Fundy. Yes tis a glorius beach. Wait... let me get my atlas. Oh... Nova Scotia. Is that still part of Canada? I thought that they were invaded by France when Quebec tried to separate. Which just goes to show that Canadians aren't too smart but they've seemed smarter by comparison over the last 4-5 years.
I'm BC born and raised, and I've never been to the Bay of Fundy. Yes, as you already know, the beer is definitly better.
PS: The west coast is definitly worth a peek if you can handle drastically exaggerated amounts of rain. |

Fundy is the fastest beach in the world. When the tide comes in, you'd best have your boogie-shoes on! It's a 30 to 40 foot change depending on the moon. It's really spectacular to see.
Also, they make excellent boudin noir in Quebec and Nova Soctia, and tell great nuefie jokes (how many nuefies does it take to carch a fish? Fifty, one to fish and forty nine to keep the line intangled).
Someday, if my $ ever get right, I'll make it out west.
India: We da bomb!

Ok, what does it say on the bottom of a bottle in Newfoundland?
Open other end.
Quebec: Well you're dammed right we should be our own country! (But in French of course.)
Edited to add tastless Newfie joke. |

USA; Truth, Justice, OR the American Way.
Was that in poor taste? Boo-hoo.
Canada; The other America.
Japan; There's more to us than just Hello Kitty! |
