Game 7

So, yes, it is only the quarterfinals, but game 7 between the Ducks and Flames goes on tonight, and I really wouldn't mind seeing the Flames win it. Then they'd advance to play the Oilers, which would be an interesting series to watch... provided there's any coverage of it here - one would hope the semifinals would be.

In honor, I give you

25 Signs Showing You Might be Canadian:

1. You're not offended by the term "HOMO MILK".
2. You understand the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine on the chesterfield" not that I'd ever say something like this
3. You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.
4. You drink Pop, not Soda.
5. You know what 'Mickey' and '2-4' mean - I used the term "mickey" here once and was greeted by a lot of confusion... who knew it was a Canadian thing?
6. You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars, lots of rum, and no Americans.

8. You drive on a highway, not a freeway... and they're often not free
9. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

11. You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
12. You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion & many more, are Canadians.
13. You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!
14. You know what a touque is...and own one.
15. You design your Halloween costumes to fit over snowsuits.
16. You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee"
17. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages, but requires 6 pages for hockey.
18. You know that the four seasons mean: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. so true! especially in Saskatchewan!
19. You know that when it's 25 degrees outside, it's a warm day!
20. You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.
21. You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan". (Sas-Kat-chew-an)
22. You perk up when you hear the theme song from 'Hockey Night in Canada'...ah...memories
23. You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.
24. "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more polite than,"Huh?"
25. You actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all of your Canadian friends (and then you send them to your American friends just to confuse them...)
