    JLD reviews "Oh Good One!!!!!!!!"

    thanks, glad you like the pun, we're very pun-friendly bunch here.

    We also rate falls from clipless pedals on a 10 point scale like skateing with points given for style, creativity, costume and music, there's the short program, pairs falling (tandem)....

    Hello from another Canadian "girl".

    My home town is Red Deer, Alberta but I lived in Sarnia Ontario for 6 years and as of a year ago I make my home near Pittsburgh, PA. Went from gently rolling parkland (Red Deer) to completely flat terrain (and I mean FLAT) in southern Ontario. Since coming to Pittsburgh I have become a much better cyclist because it is HILLY here!

    Yep-I'll bet it's a Huge difference between the different terrains! For me--since I am from Montreal-which is also partially buillt on a small mountain-I can appreciate the flatter areas here in Ottawa!

    Having just moved from Montreal to Vancouver made me reconsider my definition of "flat"!

    I thought you had nice hills just outside of Ottawa, don't you?

    Just asking if these are sure signs you may be a Canadian...

    you may be a Canadian...

    You're not offended by the term, "Homo Milk"
    You understand, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine."
    You know what it means to be on 'pogey'.
    You know that "a mickey" and "2-4's" mean "Party at the cabin, eh!!"
    You don't hold your hand on your breast when you sing the national anthem.
    You can drink legally while still a 'teen'.
    You don't give a hoot about the fuss with Cuba, it's just a cheap
    place to travel to and has good cigars.
    You're not sure if the leader of our nation has EVER had sex and don't want to know if he has!
    You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.
    You know that Mounties "don't always look like that."
    You know that Canada is the only country to successfully invade the
    US and burn its capital to the ground.
    You dismiss all beers under 6% alcohol content as "for children and
    the elderly, and for export to the US".
    You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
    You believe "the Canadian Conspiracy" should have won an Oscar.
    You laugh afterward at some U.S. citizens' lack of knowledge of
    Canadian geography, but you are too polite to correct them.
    You design your Hallowe'en costume to fit over a snowsuit.
    You have more miles on your snowblower than your car.
    You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car.
    At least twice a year, the kitchen doubles as a meat processing plant.
    You frequently clean grease off your barbeque so the bears won't prowl on your deck.
    The municipality buys a Zamboni before a bus.
    You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

    glad to keep you amused, hey, can you invade us again and burn our capital to the ground?

    It would be like an act of liberation, just picture it we would line the streets to welcome you, wave the Canadian flag, wearing those Roots beanie caps and toast your arrival with uhm who is it....Tim Horton donuts and coffee?

    yup, I am! I love the Simpsons for that! giggle

    Although I can't say I do a lot of the things on this list, I do actually know a lot of people who do.....so, Yeah I think it's quite accurate...

    Now, Trek, you know that many people up here would be happy to oblige your request if it wouldn't be considered an act of war upon the american people. We *like* the american people. We *hate* american policies and the current american government.

    Namaste,
    ~T~
