Collage

KittenTheSmitten · 02-10-2008, 11:45 AM

'Ello, again. Sorry my topics have been so lame...*sigh* This place is so delightfully overwhelming, I never know where to start...

..Erm, anyway, for my Canadian literature class, I've been asked to make this collage that deals with all of the biggest Canadian labels. (Why do I smell the gunpowder of a flamewar.... -____- )

Obviously, I've included the BIGGEST ones already--like, we all obviously wear toques, and as you guys have seen, I can't go one sentence without saying 'eh' at least six times and downing twenty kegs of beer, and you already know I'm probably uneducated, and I'm typing from my hamster-powered computer in my log-cabin in the middle of the Yukon....so....I'm looking for all of the labels I've missed. Because I can't think. And I hope there isn't a Canadian Label thread floating around, because I've obviously missed it. At least, I couldn't find it.

I figured you guys could help me out here.....please?

>.< *here goes nothin'*

Did you include the 'about/aboat' thing? Not that I'm poking fun--a lot of people in Wisconsin (myself included, apparently) talk that way, too.

KittenTheSmitten · 02-10-2008, 12:40 PM

Really? Interesting. No, I didn't. I'll find a way to stick it in there somehow.

Thank you.

Well, we play hockey (Americans call it "Ice Hockey", because they're confused otherwise). Also, curling, lacrosse. Drink eight glasses of maple syrup a day. Trap beaver pelts when not busy being a lumberjack, and that's okay. Get free healthcare and laugh at/scorn Americans. Wear eskimo parkas and drink Newfie screech in an igloo.

Don't forget the French Canadians. Filthy half-breeds.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-10-2008, 09:40 PM

Yeah. What's the deal with Saint-Pierre and Miquelon anyways?

It's Canada's (official) national sport

^Hey, 'Strange Brew'. Great movie. "Filmed in 3B--that means 'three beers and it looks good', eh?"

I know that there are bears, and trees in Canada.

I hear there is also a mighty fine supply of rotting beef carcasses, and that your yaksmen are typically kilted.

I can't even remember the last time I've heard it called "ice hockey." To us, it's just regular hockey. We do distinguish roller hockey/street hockey, though.

Oh, and don't you guys get medicinal marijuana or something?

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-13-2008, 05:53 PM

Totally. The gov'ment also grows opium poppies and stuff too.

***Cosmonautical*** · 02-14-2008, 02:18 AM

Canada is totally on drugs. You can tell, because their quarters look funny. Also, french.

KittenTheSmitten · 02-24-2008, 09:10 AM

Sorry--I know this topic is sort of old, now, but I wanted to thank everyone for their help. The project is finished, and I'm pretty sure I did REALLY well on it. x"3

My teacher and classmates laughed especially hard when I pointed out my visual depiction of the "mighty fine supply of rotting beef carcasses", and my picture used to explain that our "yaksmen are typically kilted". XD

Thanks very much for the help. I really appreciate it! ♥

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-24-2008, 12:54 PM

Wait... I don't remember talking anything about that. =\

KittenTheSmitten · 02-25-2008, 06:51 PM

^ About what, now, the beef carcasses and the yaksmen? Or the topic altogether? I sorta forgot about it too until I got my mark back the other day...

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-25-2008, 09:17 PM

Yeah, where'd that come from? Is that from Ren and Stimpy or something?

KittenTheSmitten · 02-26-2008, 10:49 PM

'Tis, if I recall.

And everyone still loves it. I should prolly take a picture sometime soon....
