Step One: Get a Big Hat

Mar 30, 2009 17:26

Guys, I am reading Will and Ian Ferguson's book How To Be A Canadian that I picked up for $6 at a book sale on campus. And dudes, let me tell you: instant classic. I mean, first of all, it was apparently all Margaret Atwood's idea, so you know it's gold. I'm only thirty pages in right now, and I'm LOLing every third paragraph. I can tell the trufax ( Read more... )

hilare, idek, random, books, look at this!, omfg

Oooh! I must get this! It is indeed hilare.

If they mention smoked meat on poutine at any point, I will forgive your trespasses.

meresy March 30 2009, 21:45:45 UTC

There are many lulz so far.

Chapter 7 is about food. I'm sure they WILL mention it. :P

Reminds me of this. LOVE.

"There are 30,000,000 people in Canada--all of whom have, at some point, frozen their tongues to the side of a chainlink fence or flagpole."

You share fab LOLS! XD

meresy March 30 2009, 21:48:54 UTC

Haha. Humorous guides are the best.

(It IS LOL-worthy and TRUE... though I confess that I, myself, have only frozen my tongue to the bars on schoolyard climbers. Totally count,s though!)

r_vecchio March 30 2009, 22:08:07 UTC

LOL! I used to lick them but it was never cold enough here to freeze :-( ...Only Canada could actually make me sad about that XD

What, are they crazy?: And how!
Provincial Motto: "We have oil. We have money. We have guns. Don't piss us off.""

HEEEEEE. Hee. He had me at "Giant Perogy."

brynnmck March 30 2009, 22:10:55 UTC

Giant perogy!!! OMG. ROAD. TRIP. IS ALL I AM SAYING.

Start with Newfoundland.

"Newfoundlanders are also the friendliest people in Canada. Of course they're friendly. They want to have sex with you."
