That was funny, but not humourous (for once, the spelling of humour isn't just one of peculiarities. See below  ). Humor - Something funny for its slap-stick and random antics. Mostly performed in America Humour -Something funny because of a peculiarity, oddity, irony, or sarcasm. Performed everywhere but America, it would seem. Also known as "true comedy". |

Oh, ha ha. Make fun of the American. Are you British or something? I have a lot of British in me. That could explain my teeth...

Nope, Canadian. We're British, but with enough American in us to not have bad teeth and run around screaming "Bloody Hell! I need a fag now before I die!".
For those who don't know, "bloody hell" is a common British expression of surprise. A fag is a cigarette

I prefer to think of Canada as, "That part of America where they speak French sometimes."
Here's a cultural question. Is there a Cajun dialect in Canada, where they speak French a lot? I know somebody from Louisiana who spoke Cajun. It was pretty cool. All we needed was a banjo...

I don't think so. Not from Quebec, never been there, no plans to go there... I'm from Alberta, a place pretty much like Texas, only without the warmth and fun accent (standard Canadian accent here). In other words, the Canadian version of Colorado |

Hmmm... Colorado isn't too bad.
I'm going to embark on a digression, the likes of which have never been seen. I'm going to rant about how awesome Killswitch Engage is.
First off, they're metal. Second, they are technically proficient. And third of all, their vocalists can actually sing when they want to. That's pretty cool for a growler. Today I learned to play my first Killswitch song. It is so cool that I'm going to try to post it on my site if I can remember where it is. And how to get in...

Also, regarding Canada:
A list of great Canadian musicians!
Jim Creegan (Bassist, Barenaked Ladies)
Quiksilver (I think... I don't recollect.)
Kittie
That's all I've got. Feel free to ammend.
Ibanez is also based in Canada, which is cool. My favorite wood for an acoustic guitar is Canadian Birch.

Actually, just go on Google and type in "famous Canadian" and append "musicians" or "actors" or "movies" or "tv shows". You'll be surprised how much quality stuff is actually done in Canada.
Makes me wish I didn't move now that you remind me of the inferiority of my current land...
Sure, you have your freedom and whatnot, but we have similar things (actually, the exact same stuff, only without the hegemonic dictator ruling our country.
In America, you have hegemonic dictator. In Canada, hegemonic dictator have YOU! My weak attempt at a Yakov Schmirnov joke

I try not to diss on Canada. The rest of my band went there on a trip last year. They thought it was awesome. And I <3 Yakov Schmirnov. Not a bad joke.
I'll Google it. I didn't even think of that. Now that I think about it, is Killswitch Engage Canadian? It was either K.E. or Dragonforce. They're both awesome, and may both be from Canada.
You give allusion to a previous nationality! Might I prod deeper into the life of my fellow intarweb goer?

Nothing big, just went here with my parents when one of them got a new job.
So long ago, in fact that if I really felt like it, I could be legal!
Tragic thing is, didn't know about my inner-Canadian-ness until recently. So, feel free to call me a "poseur-Canadian" because of that. Rather shocking on your 15th birthday you're told you're not an American citizen, despite having lived here for 90% of your life and being told the contrary...

Wow. If I weren't American, I'd be foreign. To myself!
