Canadiana, best and worst

[Turk February]

I remember the worst poutine I ever had. Lake of Two Rivers, Algonquin Park. It was like $14.

I'm guessing this was a time when a burger and fries would be like 12 bucks? Like... what is the expensive ingredient? Fuck poutine.

They had moose and venison burgers for like $20 and I think the cheapest regular hamburger was $14 again. It's just because it's the only place in that particular campground to get food so they can gouge you for it. Like buying cigarettes on the highway, it's always more.

How many of ya leafs got a GT with a Bobby Hull poster for Christmas one year?

WWAWD having fond memories of the GT Snowracer but it actually being an inferior tobogganing vehicle? The front ski always dug in and eventually slowed you down.

The best one I ever had was a little inflatable one that was just big enough to go under your ass. I fucking FLEW down hills on that bitch.

In Waterloo we had a place called "Crater Park" and its just a weird hole in the ground, best place to sled, and we'd sled there and all share sleds, loved the gt. But my favorite memory of it is we'd just ride bikes down the hill and slam the brakes in the summer and flip on our asses. A girl named Sarah tried it once and cried cuz she got hurt, we feigned being sorry for her while laughing behind her back.

My friend's kid has a sick GT. They make them bigger now and they have fucking shocks

there was a thread the other day "Have you ever been in a physical fight" or something, and I changed my mind against commenting on it, because in Canada as a kid fighting is just something you do every day until you graduate university, I have too many fight stories.

It's (was) white. Fighting is relatively safe and the old white Canadian culture had a sense of honor built into it. I fought all the time in grade and middle school and as soon as I got to high school in the city you'd see nigs and Mexicans stomping people who are already unconscious. Fuck that.

Also the fact that you fight in hockey and there's unwritten rules about trying to kill the other guy. I only fought twice when I played but it's fuckin weird how gentlemanly both of them were

I don't exactly agree with that cuz the shit I've seen white Canadian people, both boys and girls do to each other is so brutal. But it's possible it's worse now.

WWAWD Johnny Frescos? I had it like 15 years ago when my gf worked there and remember liking the poutine, which is rare for me. Not a big gravy guy

How about Coras?

 

[Turk February]

recently I went into a Cora's and they have a hot dog wrapped in a crepe, and I'm like "this sounds awful, but I have to try it, right?" It was fucking great.

 

[NeedFana]

How about Coras?

I used to eat there way too much when I worked down the street from it. I heard it’s closed now, is that true?

Fucker lied to me. I’ll have to go next time I’m back in town

Cora's fucking rules. The one by me is closed now. I'm a sucker for a faggy breakfast.

I fought a bunch and pretty much every time it was a "we gonna go?" thing. I'd usually give guys a knuckle pound after too. The only times I ever just dropped my shit and went at a guy is if they fucked with my goalie or if someone absolutely crushed a little guy.

Say "guy" again, ssssstupid.

 

[ShutYourCakeHorn]

Canadians are rude as shit in my experience.

They aren't people, altster.

 

[Uncle Floyd]

My father's side are Newfies. Fucking backwater icebillies.

 

[Turk February]

Newfies are weird cuz they seem perfectly normal and then they'll go "well 3 weeks of the month my dad would go trying to catch lobster" and you realize OH SHE HAS DADDY ISSUES! THIS IS GREAT!
