New blog entry... - Page 2

JSWolf · 04-12-2008, 10:00 AM

What would be nice with the blog is to have two seperate versions. One in English and one in French. With a link at the top of each to go to the other language. As it is now, it's just too cluttered with double posts.

is this what mature adults are reduced to ?

I like how in the new entry they say that Books on Board resells to the Nothern Territory. Pretty sure they think Northern Territory is synonymous with Canada lol.

Says WHO!!!

But at least they've expressed it right - Canada is the northern "territory" of the US!

(And in a few decades, if you keep your noses clean, we may even consider granting statehood - not to Quebec, of course!

)

It wouldn't be so ridiculous if the Northern Territories weren't a small PART of Canada, but they are :P It's basically the equivalent of calling the US the New Mexico

zelda_pinwheel · 04-12-2008, 09:06 PM

errrr... y'all do know that the United States is actually just *part* of the continent the rest of us like to call "North America," right ?

Lesseenow... We're the United States of America. It's called North America. Guess y'all are just appendages of US!

Call us when y'all decide y'want statehood.

Don't you know most native peoples call themselves with a word that in their language means something like "the people"? So the people in the country between Mexico and Canada call themselves "us".

Hi Derek!

Don't underestimate the people from Quebec... At least one of them (me) bought a Cybook from you guys at NAEB...

Ah yes... But you speak English. There's a point in your favor!

Okay, enough picking on Canadians! Y'know, I actually *visited* Canada once. Loved it and plan to go back and explore sometime - take in some sights, history, restaurants...

Ah, I know where you're talking about. It's our colonies in the Americas. As I understand there are some questions over unpaid tax to the Crown. I'm sure we'll send an expeditionary force over there to sort things out.
