Ankh, to prevent a thread hijacking...

...I find it funny that you (a vocal Canadian and supporter of evil) rank Fallout as one of your favorite games, despite the fact that it shows American soldiers executing canadian citizens in a rather gruesome Saigon-style head-cap.

[Sith Ahnk]

In Fallout Tactics, you can join a group of British Columbians planning an invasion of the United States. As well, you can join a group of Americans who are paranoid that Canadians may be planning just such a thing.

And yeah, thats a pretty cool intro. But, you can also use it to sling a lot of anti-American stereotypes (since a bunch of Interplay staff are Canadian, it was meant for that.)

[Darth Vader]

[devils advocate]Well, I thought the canadian deserved it...but emptying the clip into his corpse, while waving "hi" to mom on live TV is a bit of poor war sportsmanship, I think :p [/devils advocate]

[Sith Ahnk]

Canada is responsible for America's problems. Blame Canada.

Things like that make me go ranty

[Anbira Hicchoru]

:rolleyes the dreaded Canadian rant.

No wonder you guys haven't been invaded yet.

[Sith Ahnk]

I FEEL A RANT COMING ON!
*twitch*...........*twitch*

[Sumor Rayial]

No, we haven't been invaded because they all fear the secret Army that we have in the north. I mean you would think that it was just a lot of ice and snow. Well that's what we want you to think. Yesssssssss MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Erm, never you mind about all that.

[BW Moment}*grabs yellow rubber duck and leaves.*{/BW Moment}

[Sith Ahnk]

Eh...

[Vinny Red]

Well you know what happened last time we were invaded, eh???

[Sith Ahnk]

Canada - The only country to ever sucessfully invade the United States and burn their capitol to the ground

False.

[Sith Ahnk]

Well, it's true... from a certain point of view

[Darth Viscera]

It's not true. I've researched the order of battle of the invading british army.

Besides, we won that war, and Canada lived in fear of being utterly overrun for the next 90 years. I'd love to see the stats of the Toronto Stock Exchange for every period in which the Monroe Doctrine was threatened. In 1859, when English military forces attempted to seize San Juan Island in Puget Sound, all of Canada pissed its pants when Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott showed the English what he thought of their abortive invasion.

[Sith Ahnk]

It was meant jovially anyway. I love you guys... you're like an 8th province!

[Vinny Red]

Well we did burn the white house, but what I was going to refer to, was when the US invaded us. Or at least attempted to, before being humbly sent home. But hey, that's the past right, and not really relevant anymore

[Darth Viscera]

You deserved more than to be invaded, what with you and your friends setting anchor in Williamsburg and other cities in your shoreboats in 1807, raping our women and "requisitioning supplies from the natives".

Scott threw your ass in jail then, too.

And no, you didn't burn the white house. Veterans from the European theater burned the white house, and they were english. It was believed at the time that the French had been defeated, and so the English reallocated European theater veterans to circumvent the Canadian Front.

[Sith Ahnk]

Way to turn a fight into a fight

[Marcus Telcontar]

Nice Canada vs USA pissing contest.


When do we get to the part about who brews the worst beer?

[Sith Ahnk]

Eh, nevermind, I'm out of this thread

[Darth Viscera]

Don't complain to me-I'm not the one who starts the USA bashing.

[Sumor Rayial]

I haven't had the pleasure of studying either American or Canadian Histories yet (2nd year is all European, 3rd is where the NA history is mainly taught) so I won't throw my two cents in other than to say this:

Whatever happened in the past is the past, the present is that the United States and Canada are still two different countries (most of the time :p).

That is unless you live in Quebec where they believe that we should be, and act like we are, THREE seperate countries, but hey what do they know only good things that have come out of Quebec are hockey players and Poutine, and no I'm not going to explain what Poutine is.:p

[Sith Ahnk]

Poutine sucks
AND HEY! My grandma was fromm Quebec!
*considers*
But Quebec still sucks

[Darth Viscera]

Ah, that's just us Frenchies being uppity. Pay it no mind. Same thing happens if you go to Lousiana, where my family is from. Those people speak no english!

Napoleon's house in LA does rather rock, though.

[Sith Ahnk]

Whoa... you're french?

[Darth Viscera]

300 years ago my ancestors were french. In 1727 my grandpa moved to New Orleans.

[Sith Ahnk]

Bah. 5 billon years ago my ancestors were primorial soup, I don't call myself string A

[Jane X]

How funny!

[Sith Ahnk]

Wow, you wasted your first post here on this POS thread

[Jane X]

Oh well, its late and I don't really know where to go. You should feel LUCKY :crack

[Sith Ahnk]

I just noticed thats a Klingon disruptor in that there sig you possessin

[Helenias Evenstar]

I cant believe I actually read this thread.

Or replied.

I'm tired.

I love you too, Ahnk!

[Vinny Red]

Hey DV, that means your relative was Acadian and from where I live

[ReaperFett]

Veterans from the European theater burned the white house, and they were english
What is it with North Americans and not allowing us full credit for what we do? They even ignore the bad things! :)

[Daemon Hyfe]

You just be careful or we might start blaming all our problems on Canada.


Oh wait...

[Vinny Red]

This thread is pretty indicative as to the pros and cons of patriotism

[Darth Viscera]

Fett, you lost me. Are you talking backwords? Vinny, yep. We're cajuns alright. My great great great (keep it going) grandmother was Emmeline LaBiche, aka Evangeline. My name is Walter LaBiche. Henry Wadsworth wrote a poem about us :D

And no one else gets such a good alias as our family, either. Evangeline, heh. Even Lincoln-think about it. Abe "Top Hat" Lincoln.

So yep, my family is the de facto literal absolute most cajun family in like...the world. We are *literally* literally the epitomy of cajunesque.

[Admiral Lebron]

Cajun french fries are good.

[Sanis Prent]

Anything is better cajun-style. I make up 50% of the buyers of cayenne pepper, and I should be a shareholder for Tony Chachere's seasoning spices :) They make anything good.

[Admiral Lebron]

I like popeyes chicken. Yum!

[Miryan no Trunks]

Ahh yes, History books. The only true way to ensure that people stay pissed off at each other for things their ancestors may or may not have actually done.

Fact: Canadian History books glorify Canada, and put down other countries.

Fact: American History books glorify America, and put down other countries.

What happened in the past depends on who's writing it in the present, why bother getting upset?

[Miryan no Trunks]

And I just realized that my post was entirely too late to be effective.

Must be this cold, slowing me down and all.

Yeah.

[Marcus Telcontar]

This thread is pretty indicative as to the pros and cons of patriotism


Yep. I'd agree with that.

[Darth Viscera]

Tony Chachere's rules! Unfortunately it seems that you have to be within 100 miles of N'Orleans to find the stuff. The best we have here in Maryland is seasoned salt :lol

[Sith Ahnk]

Yep. I'd agree with that.

This thread was about a video game intro until Viscera decided to become .... about practical realization of history
That said I'm not mad about it it's just not what the thread was about

[Darth Viscera]

I only jumped in when you got high and mighty about burning our White House. Don't be mad at me simply because history and facts and actual documentation override modern-day heresay and conjecture.

MnT: The website was British, I believe.

[Sith Ahnk]

I didn't get high and mighty, it was called a joke

[Darth Viscera]

Ah. Then you need better material.

[Sith Ahnk]

*twitch*

[Sanis Prent]

Actually, Vis...I can find Chacheres at any store around here. Its really not THAT hard.

[Sith Ahnk]

S-Club 7 have stlye and failre

[Darth Viscera]

But you're closer to Louisiana than Maryland is. Over here it's simply unavailable.

[Sanis Prent]

Then that sucks for you. Maybe I can ship a few cans out there. You prefer original, or more spice recipe?

[Darth Viscera]

Nah, don't worry about it-it's not worth the trouble of shipping them. If I absolutely needed Tony I'd order it off the net. I appreciate the offer, though :)

[Sanis Prent]

try it on microwave popcorn. Absolutely rocks...but be careful, cause it'll send you into a massive sneezing fit

[Darth Viscera]

It's also good on a sirloin steak if you want something salty. Hell, Tony is good on everything!

[Daemon Hyfe]

Incorrect.

Tony is quite discusting on peanut butter milkshakes and other desert beverages.
