50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

O, Canada!

  • random thoughts

What can I say? Canada earned it.
Team USA’s third period effort looked like the LA Kings, circa 1986.
Canada wanted it more badly, and they played much harder.
Seriously, they played some of the best hockey I have ever seen.
Congratulations, oh Great White North Ones!
Take off, eh?

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

    To reward your magnanimous acceptance of Canada’s double-barrelled hockey dominance I’m offering to send you a case of real beer.
    That’s right: genuine 5% (or 9% of you want the Quebecois stuff – Le Fin De Monde/The End of the World is a tasty malt beverage that’ll leave you naked and hungover in a snowbank with a new tattoo on your ass) beer! Brewed right here in Canada.
    I’ll even ask you what you think aboot the taste, eh?

    Wil,
    Wow, what can I say. The post you have written on the board makes me weep at the sight of it. Not in a bad way either. It was a good game…no….it was a great game. Both sides played really well, both in the Men’s and Women’s hockey game.
    Loved the Shit talking letter, but I assume that now we can serve our reply:
    Dear America,
    Toque-wearing, back-bacon-eating, gold-medal-not-getting?
    I beg your pardon?
    Well, seeing as how we WON the game, I suppose we can now serve you your Tea-Dumping, Ya’ll-saying, ‘Zee’-pronouncing, Cultural-Pot-Melting, Watery-Beer-Making, SILVER medal winning asses to you.
    In the politest possible way,
    ~Kaylin
    All in all, it was a great game, and I can’t think of a better country to play against than our neighbours to the South of us.
    As a result of the Canadian Hockey team (Both Men’s and Women’s) I believe the winners have the right to request anything they want from the loosers (But still great players)
    Wil, WEAR YOUR GLASSES! *LOL*

    Yes. Canada certainly schooled ya. Did you know they delayed Sunday’s Raptors game because of Hockey?

    Wanna sing with me the ENGLISH TRANSLATION of the French version of “O Canada!”?
    O Canada! Land of our forefathers
    Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
    As in thy arm ready to wield the sword,
    So also is it ready to carry the cross.
    Thy history is an epic of the most brilliant exploits.
    Thy valour steeped in faith
    Will protect our homes and our rights
    Will protect our homes and our rights.

    I think they delayed EVERYTHING for the hockey game. Heck, for the entire 17 days of the Olympics, even. It’s like when Homer steals the Olympic flame because it’s cancelled his favourite shows one too many times (the Toronto episode). No SNL for two weeks!
    *fires Shania from a cannon, deep into the American southwest* Enjoy! 😉

    If you are interested in playing a fantasy league baseball this year let me know. We use Fanstar software that automates the scoring and also creates a league webpage that far out performs “Yahoo”
    You geeks also need to check into Geocaching or

    Well, I’ll probably get flamed for saying this, but…
    We only lost because their Canadians were better than our Canadians this year.
    What’d you expect me to say? Everyone knows that we residents of the USA, save those who formerly lived in Canada, have no clue on how to play hockey… and I consider this to be the gospel truth…
    Well, there’s my $0.02, at any rate…

    Well i’m going to throw a spanner in the works by saying I think all sport should be banned!
    My reasons:
    1. At school if you were not good at sport you were made to feel useless and crap as if you were a sub human and not worth living or knowing.
    2. There is way too much money sport. It should be about fun and health.
    3. It’s way too competative and people take it way too serious and thats when hoogalism happens. Yes I know it’s only a minority, ut I know people who fall out because if the results of a sports fixture.
    4. What’s the big deal about sport anyway?!
    I know this will cause people to get upset, and I appolize but I wanted to get my penny worth in.

    I really enjoyed the game and I agree with you in that it was one of the most well played games I had seen in a long time. My wife and I both had trouble knowing which team to cheer for as she is American and I am Canadian and we both live in Montreal. It made for a fun afternoon at any rate and I am happy that the two best teams made it to the gold medal game. It was great!
    BTW, anyone else think the Olympic-sized ice surface makes for a vastly superior game to watch in comparison to the standard NHL rink?

    Well I’m happy that Canada handed you your cocky self-serving non-gold winning asses back to you. Canada owns Hockey now and forever.
    Here is a little joke that I as a Canadian quite enjoyed, and you will probably also enjoy seeing as you have a sense of humor.
    “It’s the first day of school and the teacher thought she’d get to know the kids by asking them their name and what their father does for a living. The first little girl says: “My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman.”
    The next little boy says: “I’m Andy and my Dad is a mechanic.”
    Then one little boy says: “My name is Jimmy and my father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men.”
    The teacher gasps and quickly changes the subject, but later in the school yard the teacher approaches Jimmy privately and asks if it was really true that his Dad dances nude in a gay bar.
    He blushed and said, “I’m sorry but my dad plays hockey for Team USA, and I was just too embarrassed to say so.”

    YES! It’s only taken fifty years! (And you know more of my national anthem than I do. Oh – I mean you CAPped more of my national anthem than I know – oh, and I’m not actually in the U.K. and…uhhhghh…)
    GO CANADA!!!!

    That was a mighty decent thing for you to do. As a country, we were feeling a little low (since Sept. 11) and a sporting win proved to be quite the tonic. God bless you and your family.
    PS. Enjoyed the site. Just read about it today in the Montreal Gazette (Canada).
