good lookin out tk, always nice someones interested in teaching these ignorants a thing or two about canadian history!

I had a pretty uneventful day... I went to work, met a guy who'd never heard of canada day... then he couldn't figure out whether his holiday was on sunday or tuesday ( he must have been from michigan ) .. I went to hooters after work for a few stellas then headed out to a buddies house, rolled a spliff sparked it.. recorded a new song, hopped in the car with some friends and lawn chairs down to the parkway to watch the fireworks an smoke another one ..

happy canada day ( day late )

Spent my Canada Day sleeping in till 5 pm. Then got my friend to reinstall windows 2000 for me, played some 4-player Tiger Woods 2004 on the PS2, and then played some poker, which cost me $20 . Now on July 2nd, I'm back at work along with 2 out of the normally 8 people in my office. I'd have phoned in sick today, but I found out last year that you have to work the day before and the day after a holiday to get paid for it. So I didn't get my free $175 last year and I'm sure as hell going to get it this year!

Isn't it sorta weird that Canada Day is July 1. Who timed that one? "Hey let's undercut America's Independence Day so we can seem cooler." Canada Day just sounds like a huge conspiracy to rip off the 4th.

I believe the entire focus on Canadian independence was to have it be nothing like the United States'. The United States was born out of a bloody war and a great load of hipocracy. At the time, Canadian officals saw what happened in the States and wanted to gain independence without running into a civil war. If international economics and politics has taught me anything, it's that each country should close their borders, promote their own superiority, while remaining hateful and suspicious of each other

Okay then, let's clear some things up. Since I can't make my "non-serious, funny sounding" voice online, I'll give you some clues on why the above is a JOKE. Please see if you can follow.

The word "weird" in the first sentence: I am sure if I was accusing a country of ripping someone else off I would have used a word with more power. In short, weird is a funny word and sets the tone for the rest of the message.

The quote: I'm so sure that this is what went through somebody's mind when they were dealing with their independence day.

And lastly, "conspiracy": Conspiracies are hair-brained idiotic things paranoid people come up with to try and explain seemingly unrelated events which, in fact, are actually unrelated. This makes the last sentence hair-brained and idiotic: I smell a joke.

So let's sum it up. Sentence one: wacky tone setting. Sentence two: Not true; ficticious, you know, like a story. Sentence C: stupid statment to wrap the joke up and make it seem like there is a dilemma. Hence the nonsensical banter that is a joke. ?buy senseofhumor

You know what, it was a fun joke. Look it how much I stirred things up.

You obviously have not been a member of this forum for very long. Trolling is common place, as are blatent attacks against individuals or their countries of origin. Had your post been on any other forum, I'd have assumed (and probably Troll King as well) that you were just kidding around. It is an unfortunate reality that you can't joke around in here without someone jumping to conclusions or just attacking you for the simple fun of it. Not that anyone attacked you on this thread, just saying...

[Capital Knockers]

The fireworks were so damn tripped out, it was great. The burn out afterwards was pretty intense, I just woke up at like.. well now. almost slept for 24hrs wewt! Hope everyone else had a great Canada Day too

[Volcs]

I went to a kegger
got in a fight
went to watch the fireworks
went to another party
then went to denny's till 4am.

THEN TODAY I WOKE UP AT 8:30! I'm going to bed, lol.

[Troll King]

I remember the good old days when jokes were actually supposed to be funny.

[Volcs]

I remember when you weren't such an asshole.

...come to think of it, you've always been an asshole.

TK, why are you always so disgruntled..?

[Troll King]

Forgive me for being patriotic. If people went around making such "jokes" about America in a 4th of July thread, others would find offence to it too.

Nice side-stepping TK. The reason he's so disgruntled is that, when you reach a certain age, you realise life isn't going to turn out the way you hoped it would. That certain age is about 30 and it happens to everyone with a brain and without the millions in the bank and the pornstar wife. You can go a number of different directions at this point. TK has taken the disgruntled route. This is totally understandable but there are several other avenues open to the not-so-young young man. Many throw themselves into their work. Of course this has no long-term benefits. Some start families which provides an initial distraction but fails to address the whole fast women and fast cars thing. The best way is to pretend you're still 18, and if you feel yourself slipping at any point, a nice bottle of red wine and some good food will sort you out. I look at TK and I see myself, god I'm handsome.
