Hilarious Don!

Had a friend who work on a charter boat... told me sometimes swingers chartered the boat... I was mildly interested... He told me there was nothing there he would want to swing with.

nuff said. :cool:

I don't see any connection between nudist and swingers. Am I being naive, or is everyone else making faulty assumptions?

Article:
Guess this means that cultural differences can be drawn upon the spoken language itself - interesting.

I don't know people (that I know of) that are either and did not mean to presume anything. The original article seems to be about swingers, then someone posted some amusing stories about there experience at nudist farms.

Then in typical Pelican fashion things went all over the map. :D

You know what they say about assuming... may I use the chalkboard?

No. That is just an identifier. The Quebecois are more 'European' - in many cultural respects - than their Anglophone counterparts in other provinces. We (the 'royal' inbred Anglo we) tend to be more 'British' than 'European'.

Both are quite distinct from 'American' . . .

btw You guys are all wet about nekkid places. Yes, the average is as you described. But, there always seems to be enough 'exceptions' to make the experience very enjoyable.

so which group you run with?

and yes, is this place not rooted in faulty assumptions?

I'm not in either camp.................anymore.:D

Re: Screw the Canadians!
 

Screw the Canadians?

Three is quite enough. I am over it.

Screw a Canadian? Sounds like a good idea.

what if its Celine Dion?

F### Saleen Dion!

You all try and you wish, but that really has not been the case since WWII. Too much American TV, big cars and Florida.

Screw Canada?

No, we should invade Canada:

Raiding the Icebox
Behind Its Warm Front, the United States Made Cold Calculations to Subdue Canada

Invading Canada won't be like invading Iraq: When we invade Canada, nobody will be able to grumble that we didn't have a plan.

The United States government does have a plan to invade Canada. It's a 94-page document called "Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan -- Red," with the word SECRET stamped on the cover. It's a bold plan, a bodacious plan, a step-by-step plan to invade, seize and annex our neighbor to the north. It goes like this:

That is actually a fascinating article. Both countries had plans to invade each other.

But the best part:

"Invading Canada is an old American tradition. Invading Canada successfully is not.

During the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold -- then in his pre-traitor days -- led an invasion of Canada from Maine. It failed.

During the War of 1812, American troops invaded Canada several times. They were driven back.

In 1839, Americans from Maine confronted Canadians in a border dispute known as the Aroostook War.

"There were never any shots fired," said Etzinger, the Canadian Embassy spokesman, "but I think an American cow was injured -- and a Canadian pig."

In 1866, about 800 Irish Americans in the Fenian Brotherhood decided to strike a blow for Irish independence by invading Canada. They crossed the Niagara River into Ontario, where they defeated a Canadian militia. But when British troops approached, the Fenians fled back to the United States, where many were arrested.

After that, Americans stopped invading Canada and took up other hobbies, such as invading Mexico, Haiti, Nicaragua, Grenada and, of course, Iraq."
