I love Saturday Nights in Canada during the winter. There is nothing better than curling up on the couch, with a blanket and a cup of tea watching the Leafs play hockey. Tonight was particularly good. They are playing Montreal...which is another one of the Original 6 teams (they would be Montreal, Toronto, Detriot, Boston, Chicago and New York btw, in cause you are keeping score). Montreal and Toronto is one of those riveralies that will go on until forever. And thing is, Pat Burns (awesomest hockey coach EVER) passed away yesterday at the age of 58. Now Pat Burns coached both Montreal and Toronto, so it seemed fitting that they would play each other tonight. And there was a very moving tribute to Burns at the start of the game. Now if only they will induct the man into the Hockey hall of Fame. Things would be complete. Today is November 20 and here is today's joke:
Too Far North
You design your Halloween costumes to fit over a snowsuit.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You have 10 favourite recipes for elk, moose or deer meat.
You live in a house that has no front steps, yet the door is three feet above the ground.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes get filled with snow.
You think everyone from the city has an accent.
You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie with only 8 buttons.
At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.
The most effective mosquito repellent is a shotgun.
You frequently clean grease off your barbecue so the bears won't come up on your deck.
There is only one shopping plaza in town.
You find -40C a little chilly.
The trunk of your car doubles as a deep freezer.
Shoveling the driveway constitutes a great upper body workout.
There are two seasons: Liquid and Solid
Nine months of winter and three months of rough sledding.
Six inches of snow is still considered a heavy frost.
You actually 'get' these jokes, and forward them to all your Northern friends.
see you tomorrow!
