hey jon, been loving the recent strips, and was wondering if Greta saying that was a reference to Trey Parker and Matt Stone's movie "Orgazmo!" and the Hilarious character Sancho?

"you are not Sancho... nor is Scott Bayo Sancho... because I... I am Sancho!!(guitar strum)"

sorry, i just love that movie and reccomend it to everyone who loves Utah/Mormon jokes...

great movie...great character bits....and now that sodomy is legal in all 50 states, there's nuttin like a little DADV

Nope. That'd be a bit of a stretch, anyway.

I think that's one of the problems with writing lots of obscure references into the strip -- people start to see them everywhere.

Aigh. Fatal in-brain posting collision.

That joke, sir, is about 18 years past it's prime. It can legally drink in canadian bars now, right?

I thought it was well ripened and ready for picking.

It had a nice bouquet, a good straw color, and excellent undertones of pear and apple, with just a little bit of pepper to keep you smiling.

I think you're required to end that sentance with 'eh?', and not 'right?'.

But where did "Do you live around here often?" [goats.com] come from? I think that's a great, awkward sounding line.

And why do I have this feeling Greta is related to Gretchen [goats.com]?

In Response to Rich (#7242):

They're sisters. But don't tell anyone!

In Response to zamphir (#7234):

I merely lived by canada for most of my years. I was not infected.

In Response to mcgrue (#7247):

I just don't think anyone is allowed to talk about canadian bars without ending at least one sentence with 'eh?'.

I mean, it's not my rule but I was pretty sure it was a rule.

Im from Canada, eh? There, have i fufilled the Canadian requirements? Anyways im ne to the fourms and all i can say about the comic strips is they spilt my gut. I havent laughed so hard in my life on a few of them. Hot buttered laps sound pretty apitizing(i dont know how to spell).

In Response to osiris (#7350):

hey there, i have always wondered what ACTUAL canadians thought of movies that bashed their reputation, such as 'South Park: bigger longer and uncut" and "Canadian Bacon", if you wouldnt mind sharing with the general american poplation, eh?(no offence with the eh thing, or anything i may say about not pronouncing the letter 'U')

In Response to evil_jester (#7352):

...or anything i may say about not pronouncing the letter 'U'

I just wonder why usanians are always, when faced with a slightly shocking, amusing, or enlightening situation, professing to their own personal guard...

In Response to mcgrue (#7247):

unfortunately, it's an airborne pathogen. You have to get at least 75 miles south of the frozen north to avoid it (if there's an alberta clipper tho, it can reach into the mid-us).

We'll have to quarantine you now. It's okay though, we have a whole ward of people with a little respiratory disease. I'm sure it's not catching though.

In Response to evil_jester (#7352):

I think that by saying you don't mean offense, you profess that you really did mean offense but by saying that you didn't you can alleviate yourself from any negative repercussions while still getting your stab at inappropriateness in.

As you notice, most people apologize if they offend someone after they learn that they were offensive. Not as a precursory cover-all for things they know are to be offensive in the first place but don't want to get in trouble for when they say it. I can't say that i don't mean to be offensive and then let racial slurs fly and act like I'm surprised people are upset. "But I said I was sorry before...."

Its good to know Canadians get a good response on here, eh? Well if you watch "Canadian Bacon" very closely (I own it) it bashes the USA ten times as much as they bash Canada. South Park, is well, South Park. Most of what the said was just total bull shit and we can pronounce our "u's" just fine thanks. Hey, if you guys got anymore questions on Canada, shoot away. I'd be happy to answer any of them.

PS. I would like to get a reaction from people in the States who have seen "Bowling for Columbine".

In Response to evil_jester (#7352):

Actual Canadians? As opposed to those artificial Canadians we import from Trinidad?

In Response to osiris (#7374):

Bowling for Columbine: almost exactly one hour longer than it needed to be. Plus: does the director/writer/"star"/host have such an inferiority complex, that he has to engage in a hostile debate (in poor taste, I might add) with a man with Alzheimer's? Meanwhile, he attacks nearly every position held by the people he interviews, but doesn't actually present any solutions of his own, merely his opinion that "shooting people is bad." DUH!

I'm not a member of the NRA, and while I do support SOME gun control legislation, I also feel that the 2nd Amendment is still relevant and should be upheld. My point is not that just because you have the right to own a gun means that you should/have to. But, if you choose the right to own a gun, you also assume the duty to use and keep that gun responsbly. This is also the NRA's position.

As for questions re: Canada, do you think that Canadians are, by and large, more patient than Americans? The US and Canada share the longest (both in timeline and geography) peaceful border ever between two nations. We haven't had a hostile conflict across that parallel since 1815, and the border stretches more than 3000 miles. However, with recent (meaning, in the last 30+ years) irritation with so-called American arrogance, and our peaceful neighbors to the north still being... peaceful... it would seem that y'all are showing us Job-esque patience.

Or are you just scared of what the Yankee cowboys to the south might do if you do raise your voices?

In Response to Clan_Hanna (#7394):

Gun Nut.

Okay Club_Hannah, answer me this. Explain to me why theres 11,000 gun murders a year in your country? Dont say we have more guns because we have the same percentage of gun ownership. Bowling for Columbine was a great movie. Micheal Moore wasn't trying to come up with sloutions, he was simply showing people in the States whats going in your country. What you dont seem to realize is how cold hearted Charleton Heston is. He showed up in Colordao to hold a NRA ralley 2 days after the shooting in neighbouring Littleton? How fing cold heatered do you have to be? How insentitve? Trust me on this Canada is not scared of the States and never will be. You may have a powerful millitary but Canada has come to a point where we realize, not eveyrthing can be solved through conflict. Hell, I think we learned best by Gondi. He didnt lift a single hand in violence and he defeated the British Empire. Its quite clear you have never been to Canada either. Havent you heard the things we say about Bush and his government?!? One of the memebers of the government was overheard saying bush is a moron. So really, Hannah your entire post was nothing but hot air.

In Response to osiris (#7396):

why the flame? did he hit a nerve? i didn't see him attack anything of the argument except to say that he thought the movie was too long and that the director attacked without giving any credible contrary ideas. (its extremely easy to rip somthing down/apart, but thats not the same thing as criticism)

I thought X2 was too long and could have been better developed. Does that mean I have an irrational hatred towards anyone who's different and am off to found some neo-nazi group? Your response seems to imply that kind of jump in logic.

In Response to osiris (#7396):

Okay.

This is your first and final warning.

You're showing yourself to be a chowderhead who can't parse other people's postings, spell, use punctuation, or otherwise carry on something that resembles civilized conversation. Note that none of this has anything to do with the CONTENT of your message - merely your presentation.

If you don't fix these things right quick, I'm gonna start thrashing you for each and every single violation of spelling and grammar I can find. And that won't be pretty.

In Response to osiris (#7396):

heh you suck... wipe the foam off and try harder:

theres == there's (which is still wrong, try "there are")
Dont ==Don't
whats == what's
ralley == rally
heatered == hearted (although kind of an almost joke if it was deliberate)
insentitve == insensitive
eveyrthing == everything
Gondi == Ghandi (I assume)
didnt == didn't
?!? == not sure... are you confused at your own outrage at the question.... that's how I parse it anyhow.
memebers == members

we all make typos but sheesh use the preview to fix some of them at least...

Now to move on to a more interesting point... At least you realised that the _movie_ was a movie with the connotations of entertainment over fact. It was not a documentary [hardylaw.net]. Unfortunately you then quote a part of the movie that created from out of context spliced footage so maybe you think it is truth...

Mr Moore strikes me as being as much of a self aggrandizing wanker as the people he is posturing against. There is little in his show to actually make me think he cares for change. He seems to be trying to make himself famous at the cost of the suffering he "exposes".

Myself, I think having guns is a pretty stupid idea. I can't see any real chance of using it to defend myself outweighing the danger of having a dangerous that any idiot can use lying around. Michael Moore has not influenced that thought at all and I certainly wouldn't support him just because he happens to be using an idea we share...

In Response to tor (#7401):

Sorry for the whole grammar thing, but I'm on the internet chatting in a forum. I didn't know you people took this is so critcaly. Anyways on to the point's. The biggest thing Micheal Moore was trying to say was American society is in trouble.
He shows alot of how the media show's the news. Like when he's talking to the Professor in Los Angele's and they talk about the fact crime has gone down 50% in the last 10 years. However, the coverage of crime's have gone up 150%.

Just because he uses spliced footage doesn't mean it makes the fact's any less true. Like when he put's in the footage of all the dictator's the USA placed in power during the cold war, it doesn't matter if it is spliced everything it says is true. My brother is a History major at UBC. He's the one that recommended the movie to me. He reaserched everything said in the movie, it was all true.

To Club_Hannah, sorry if I flamed you. I had no intention of doing so, your comment just looked like you hadn't really watched the movie with an open mind. Sorry about the whole grammar thing again. It's the internet, people dont usually care about it all that much.

Anyways, I hope I have settled some questions with people and my view's.
