Of course, the ones *I'm related to* are good folks, but the rest of them.......

so *that* explains it...

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 05:22 PM

yeah and my post was addressing you, about your comment about "canucks" (for whatever that is...) and was addressing the other guy about spelling...I'm sorry I didn't bother to go in every details of what was addressed to who!

By the way, this makes me want to ask (wanted to ask for a long time but never did...) HOW do you quote more than one person in the same post, like some of you do?? Never could figure out how to...

Actually, I ws making a point about sweeping generalities, and not spelling errors.

But, on that note, please refer to my post above, about my ill-fated attempt to teach a pig to sing.

How can you be 50% canadian? Were you born on the borders line in between Canada and USA? LOL

I'm sure I mispelled many other words in english all the time, I don't see what the fuss is all about. I never pretended having a perfect english spelling and nobody in here does either. Oh and you know what? Come here and kiss my butt!

Actually V, "Puerto Rican" is a Spanish word.

so umm "Come here and kiss my butt!"

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 08:01 PM

hey, you're right! Well then that excuses me even more for not knowing how to spell it, I'm not learning "puerto rican" language, I have enough of learning english for now, thank you!

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 08:22 PM

I had to come back for this one highsider....LOL Funny how you say Canadians drive like crap. Here in Western MA I have noticed that people in general don't know how to handle a car specially in winter. The first snow of the season always provoke an amazing number of accidents, people seem to become completly freaked out and BAM! First thing you know is this car ending up on the side of the road for a little snow. Wow. I've had people calling me IRRESPONSIBLE for going out in my car with my children when it was snowing outside. I've had friends refusing to get out of their house to come over for dinner for one inch of snow on the ground. And the list goes on. I am from Quebec, I've been driving cars since the age of 12, I learned how to drive my dad's old Suburban in a sand pit, then on the neighborhood streets. A few days after I turned 16, I got my license. In 16 years of driving vehicles, I never caused any accident. I've got involved in 3 accidents, none of them were my fault (one was bad, another one I got rear ended and had to go to physical therapy for months, and another one was minor as an old Bronco backed up in my side door). When I see the circus going on during winter time on the roads around here, I can't believe it. isn't it New England suppose to also be wintery, or is it something new that you get a lot of snow??? lol....(umm...this is only for the sake of a conversation, not to start an argument, ok?

)

Oh and...talk funny? Everyone love my french accent! LOL

And about being rude...I think people often mistake being frank and honest for "rudeness". It is true that quebecers are very opiniated...but so are americans.

I became part Canadian when I got married (Baker became Michaud) so it's not my fault and not in my blood

**Manny** · 05-12-05, 08:33 PM

Canada rocks eh - poulet mon coq!

Ok, I've only been in canada a few times so I haven't got a handle on the language yet. But didn't you just say "Chicken my cock"?

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 08:40 PM

See...the way I see it, if you're borned in USA, you are american, not canadian, not chinese, not irish, etc. I am borned Canadian. I live in USA. That doesn't make me an american. Now if you get naturalized to "become" american or canadian, ok...I intend to request for my US citizenship shortly. But for now, I am Canadian. The fact that I married an american doesn't make me an american just by clicking my fingers togueter. My youngest daughter is born american. She is not yet canadian, we didn't request for her naturalization. My oldest daughter is canadian, not american. I might say "My ancestors are from Italy and France" but I'm not gonna say "I am half of this, a quarter of that, etc. "

I guess it's just of how you see things. Maybe it's just playing with words. But I think the only thing that matters is about how/who you associate yourself with, and how it makes you feel like you belong to a certain heritage. And I thin there is nothing wrong to feel like you belong to more than one. (had a hard time phrasing what I want to say here...sorry...

)

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 08:41 PM

poulet mon coq would be translated exactly as follows:

chicken my rooster...(coq = rooster, in english)

**Manny** · 05-12-05, 08:44 PM

yes...exactly what I said... chicken my damn rooster.

**Rhonda66** · 05-12-05, 08:44 PM

Too confusing for me - I'd rather just keep making fun o' the Canadians

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 08:47 PM

and the Canadians make fun of the Americans. (and it pisses me off at times). Both Canadians and Americans makes fun of everyone else in this world anyway.

Okay yeah I don't get it, must be one of those farm animal sex jokes? I'll wait for highsider to explain, he knows all about that sort of thing

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 08:49 PM

Fuck the turkey.

(Farcir la dinde...) should mean "stuff the turkey", not fuck...LOL

I think pretty much everyone in the world makes fun of some other culture...The American/Canadian thing is all in good fun...I think so anyway...

You know V, I wonder the same thing every winter. I'm not the oldest in the world but I remember snow for almost 40yrs in a row now. You would think people would start to get used to it.

When I was growing up in New Hampshire if we got less than a foot of snow we went to school. (I really had to walk uphill too.)
now if they think it "might" snow school gets called off the day before it snows.

**MissTwisties** · 05-12-05, 09:01 PM

yeah, true...

I'd like to think in most cases, it's just in good fun indeed. But I heard some pretty strong comments from americans towards canadians, and vice versa. Being on both sides of the fence at the same time, I hear all kinds of things...lol
