Ok, let's count Canadian stereotypes, shall we?

- beer
- lumberjacks
- beaver
- snowshoe
- lacrosse
- donuts
- igloo
- hockey
- Canada goose
- maple syrup
- touque
- canoe
- Canadian flag

Yup, got most of the bases covered.
Glaringly obvious in their absence:
- Mounties
- poutine
- Timmie's

Lacrosse is quite popular here in MD too. Though, honestly, I've always hated the sport. Worst unit in PE for me other than field hockey (other types of hockey are fine)

@donaldtoo and @Wrangler-Rick , sometimes I watch RFDTV for something different from the usual tv lineup on my satellite package. (I'm actually surprised that I get this channel at all, as I don't live in the country/farm areas of the state.) One of the things I like about shows on that channel are the minimal production effects. A lot of it is straight-forward filming, minor sets (if at all, depending upon the show), and just interesting interviews and educational shows. There's also not many commercial interruptions. (There are similarities to local cable tv access stations. However, since my tv is on satellite, I don't get the local access station anymore for my area.)

So the other night, they had a show about tractors, and the company they highlighted was Case. I never knew there were so many different types of tractors, and so many models down through the years. Many of the men they interviewed wore overalls or suspenders. Perhaps that style had been handed down from their grandfathers. (I think most of the men were farmers.) I recalled a discussion here a few days ago about tractors, and I think also @MOXOMUMD and @Gabe1 are tractor-savvy, too.

I wanted to mention this show, because they have more tractor shows as well, and they also sell a DVD of the shows.

Some people even collect tractors (I guess there's a collector, and possibly a museum as well, for probably anything we can imagine). That reminds me a little of a small, rural museum I went to, years ago, way up in northern Maine, near the Canadian border. It was a big logging/forest area, so they had a museum of different years, models and types of chain saws! That museum was quite different from museums you see in big cities! I liked it. :)
The first tractor I ever rode on was my grandfather's old Ford N from the early 50's. The tires were huge to me when I was a toddler but we'd go for rides out in the field and when I got older we would ride on the running board. My dad's first tractor was an old Farmall. :)

I already started looking into moving to Austin last winter. So join us @Soarin' Over Pgh in our evil plan to invade donaldtoo's territory! :devilish:

Sold. When do we leave? :)

When we have our Sageteer reunion @ WDW, our first stop will have to be at O Canada in Epcot, 'cause y'all have no idea what Canada is like.

Our second stop, of course, will be for Dole Whips @ MK.

This sound acceptable. :)

We shall ride our mooses to MK...or the Polynesian...for dole whips after touring O Canada and consuming alcohol and pouting and wear beaver pelts with plaid shirts!


...mighta gone a bit far there. Ok, no lumberjack plaid shirts. Tank tops instead. :cool:

Field hockey = bruised shins, and revenge fantasies.
All friendships are left on the sidelines.

Of course, kids are probably bubble wrapped like the Michelin Man when they play now.
