Actually they would have beaten us by more, but we had to discount their score by 60% due to the exchange rate... "lane" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a5c3qr$68h21$[email hidden]...

Rick Moranis played the Darth Vader -like character in Spaceballs, that's why I was confused. It's funny that he also did that in a routine. As far as them making it funny, I have to disagree. It has always been funny. ;o) "lane" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a5ef0t$6inum$[email hidden]... > > > No, that was taken from a Bob and Doug Mackenzie routine.

As a truly outside party (UK) I was damn glad to see the Canadians win because a) the USA won far too many medals for a country that usually has no interest in any winter sport except ice-hockey (fix?) and b) because Canadians aren't taken seriously by United Statesians. Oh and c) go Commonwealth! Chris "David Ewing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Probably depends on what part of Canada you are from. I used to vacation every summer around the eastern shore of Lake Superior, near Wawa. The Doug and Bob routine is a pretty good *caricature* of how people talk in that region. OTOH I work with a lot of people from Windsor and nearby parts, and those people only have the slightest trace of an accent. It's a regional thing, just like the southern accent or the eastern accent that we sometimes get teased about in the U.S. I mean really, any accent that is not your own always sounds a little funny, don't you think? Don't want people to think I am down on Canada - I am not, I have always loved Canada and Canadians, and I think most Americans look at Canada as a good neighbor, despite the jokes. I mean really, we wouldn't know what good beer is without you guys! ;o) "lane" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a5evlj$6tqsq$[email hidden]... > > Yea, but not many people here actually talk like that, but Bob andDoug made > all the americans think we do. > >

Well, I was in WAWA last summer and didn't notice them saying "eh?" after every sentence. But, you are correct it is a regional thing, but also an educational thing. If you want to hear funny lingo just go to New Foundland.

Actually the sillier part of that whole thing is that some people in Northern Michigan (Upper Peninsula) also have a little bit of that accent and speech pattern, so it is really even more of a regional thing than a national thing.

Never been there, but after seeing that movie Fargo I have to say people in Fargo, North Dakota talk just as funny as some do here. :-)

Missed most of this thread- what`s it aboot ? "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a5mt80$8r92v$[email hidden]... > Yah-hey! Dat's da troot! >

Hehe. Okay in the interests of equal opportunity, here's an "American" joke: It's the first day of school and the teacher thought she'd get to know the kids by asking them their name and what their father does for a living. The first little girl says: "My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman." The next little boy says: "I'm Andy and my Dad is a mechanic." Then one little boy says: "My name is Jimmy and my father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men." The teacher gasps and quickly changes the subject, but later in the school yard the teacher approaches Jimmy privately and asks if it was really true that his Dad dances nude in a gay bar. He blushed and said, "I'm sorry but my dad plays hockey for Team USA, and I was just too embarrassed to say so." "Killemaul" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bRXf8.29992$[email hidden]...
