Or maybe that's just those Toronto loonies.
Speaking of which, I'm wearing nothing except a bath towel right now, it feels so good! :D
That would only work in Toronto. If you try that in Calgary, it starts raining.

And now the mandatory drooling that happens everytime after jmac says something like that. Image
*posts edited picture of jmac in A&P with only a bathtowel*

That works ever so well. :D

You know you're a Canadian when...

You're standing on the street corner across from your hotel in NYC at 3AM in a pouring rain waiting for the 'Walk' light to flash. :P

Well, to most of North America, it's just rain.

In Georgia and Alabama, it's known as "bathing." :wink:

..you ask for "fillum" instead of "film" at the camera shop.

You must get some strange tourists at that camera shop. I've never heard anyone add extra sounds in the word "film". We tend to subtract syllables around here. For example, the correct local pronounciation of "Toronto" is not "tow - ron - tow", but rather, it sounds more like "tur - on -- oh", or sometimes "tron-oh".

PS. Want to know how a Canadian pronounces "worcestershire sauce"? We pronounce it: "steak sauce" :D

Actually, that comes from a friend of my father's who was Canadian. The coolest friend my father had, so of course he didn't visit him that often. This guy has Star Wars on Super 8 in late '77, and it was these selected scenes where I saw Star Wars for the very first time! And he used to call them...fillums!

Heh, that reminds me of a Benny Hill skit where he plays an American tourist trying to say "Hawaii" !

Shit, I can't even pronounce worcestershire sauce!
