Sounds fun. When is dinner served?

Most Canadians, ayy, have a good Moose-near-death-experience, ayy. What's yours, ayy?

We actually had a Canadian learjet hit an elk and kill it during takeoff. The elk had wandered onto our runway from a nearby field, and the plane clipped it with its front wheels on the way up. I was on watch that morning, and happened to glance over at the CCTV screen and see this big fireball streaking down the runway. Next thing I know all the local reporters were there, and everyone was joking about how we had defeated "Elk Qaida".

Damn Canadians.. come here, kill our animals and leave. lol

[meeks]

ouch - sucks to be that elk. and that pilot. but if the plane went down in flames, wouldn't the elk be more of a suicide bomber? Or was it the elk being dragged down the runway erupting into a ball of flames..?

[bigphatwong]

Yup, that's pretty much how it went down. Suffice it to say that when we pulled the radio out of that plane, it looked like a big lump of charcoal. It was gnarly...

It's "eh" not "ay" dammit!

lol

btw and fwiw, "eh" is directly connected to Canada's profound Scottishness.

Canada was originally filled with natives, a few french and a lot of scotsmen.

the "eh" was typical of Scottish speech patterns and just stuck.

Parts of Canada are more Scottish than Scotland to this day. Och Aye!

I can't speak to the origins, but pronounciation & usage always seemed more similar to the Channel Islands.

But I ask you, is there really much difference between Fonzie and a Scotsman who celebrates Thanksgiving 6 weeks early? Didn't think so.

[DeusTrismegistus]

they're tiny down there! They look like those little chinese red deers.

Not at all like the white tail jumpers we have up here. Who by the way would come at you as a team and one would hold you with his antlers while the other pissed on your shoes.

Those are black tailed deer and iirc they are the smallest member of the north american deers. When I last visited washington state I saw quite a few of these animals. They seem to be pretty comfy around people.

The deer were attracted to Omar's huge chi-ness but were led into nothingness and had to void.
