I don't mean to be picky, but this just rubs me the wrong way - it's "Canada" geese, not "Canadian".

If the geese are from Canada,doesn't that make them Canadian?You call them Canada over there,we call them Canadian over here.What is the difference?

I suppose, if they were from Canada, you could call them "Canadian Canada Geese".

Fordfaggiole, you're definately having a rough day.

I think pchristman's point, if you want to get picky about it, is that the correct technical name for said geese is "Canada geese", ie members of a certain species of geese known as the Canada Goose.

I think his point is that the geese are not "Canadian", ie they do not belong to Canada. The fact that they are coming to you from Canada is only coincidence.

Okay, fine. From now on, Fords are no longer "American" trucks. Herewith, they will always be referred to as "AMERICA" cars or trucks. Any citizen of Canada caught referring to them as "American" will be forever banned from the outlet malls in Buffalo!

I'm not sure how to reply to threads in the pig pen anymore.I think I'll tread lightly till this whole thing blows over.I just got caught off guard on that bird thing.I took a shot at some humor and that backfired.No apology needed.I didn't take offence to the post.I just thought to myself "what to heck did i do now".I think I need a break for awhile.A lot of the issues we discuss here I haven't thought much about them,so i'm kind of out of touch on them.I enjoy discussing things ,but i fear i ask too many questions without answers.It does seem i'm having a bad day.When i cant take the heat i'll get out of the kitchen.thanks

No, that's something the office staff does to each other at TD Bank when the Christmas party gets out of hand!

And Fordfaggiole, I hope you know that I was kidding about the "America" thing!

OOPS! Gotta run- snow's getting so bad that they're closing the dealership. See ya'll later!

HAHAHA I never thought I would here those two words again "snow bird" I used to live down in Yuma and you couldn't even go the freaking speed limit due to the roads clogged with all of the RV's. Also did you notice how the wreck count would rise between the monts of october through march, Heck the last time I was there they had an wreck where a older man in a santa suit was riding on the top of a dune buggy in a lawn chair was killed when he was thrown from it in a crash, and we got blamed in his hometown newspaper for killing santa.

And to use a line from another thread, I HATE snowbirds...sorry had to get thatm off my chest.
