Weird Things about the USA

[G-spotter]

1) No metric system

 

2) No Smarties

 

I know there is something called Smarties in the US, but not real ones.

 

Explain? Are these two things linked?

[kevbone]

I know what you look like. Not what I thought!

[G-spotter]

i know your mom was only sober when her welfare checks ran out, but what does that have to do with Smarties?

[sexual_chocolate]

I know what you look like. Not what I thought!

 

 

i was surprised by your looks too, but maybe you look different without a metal pipe up your ass?

[Crux]

We in America must engage Canada at once in bilateral trade talks that will resolve the unfair distribution of Smarties and the metric system. While detractors from my proposition will say more aggressive action is called for, we must remember to first pursue a diplomatic solution before we beat the drums of war. That said, Canada should understand that the patience of Americans, although great, is not without its limits.

[G-spotter]

Maybe you have to have M&Ms instead of Smarties because you aren't very smart? That would explain a lot.

[pink]

we are slowly trading our smarties for your hockey teams.

[G-spotter]

What Smarties? You don't have any.

[Crux]

Ok, so we don't have any real Smarties. But we got lots of real Americans! Whaddaya say? Can we work something out or what?

[G-spotter]

We can trade one Smartie for three or four times as many Chinese as Americans. That's globalization for you.

[kevbone]

You think its weird here? What about Japan?

I see. Ok, do you suppose Canada would be interested in a deal for Kevbone and pink? (I'm thinking we might be able to overlook the snafflecow incident, you know, quid pro quo.)

[G-spotter]

I don't think we will deal for kevboner or pink. I think you will have to send them to the minors. Maybe even the Iron League or the ECHL.

1) No metric system

 

2) No Smarties

 

Also no CoffeeCrisp until just recently, nor Smart cars until 2008, and hardly any Robertson screws.

[murraysovereign]

Oh, yeah, and no Caesars, either. Weird, indeed.

[bstach]

No Macintosh Toffee bars in USA either. In the mountains, those things are like crack.

Could you pass me a serviette? - I just spilled my poutine on the chesterfield.

[murraysovereign]

No Macintosh Toffee? Really? That stuff was a dietary staple in my childhood. Kept the family dentist employed pretty much full-time, too. First, it caused major cavities, and then it would rip out the fillings as well.

[G-spotter]

There's a reason Canadians call them "chocolate bars" while Americans call them "candy bars". It's because most American junkbars have little, if any, chocolate in them.

[pink]

kinda like canadian junk money, it has little, if any value to it.

 

i like those 222's with the codein in it. great for hangovers.

[G-spotter]

Yeah, I have heard that in America the drugs that are commonly abused these days are prescription drugs. Another difference between USA and Canada. You guys are knocking back Vicodin and Oxycontin and we're

[pink]

not a pill popper myself but you are right on that eh.

All I have to say is FUCK THE METRIC SYSTEM

 

pound, foot, yard.....that's where it's at.

 

I remember on climbing trip to the Canadian Rockies where this carpenter told us they sell everything in metric. The problem is a 4X8 piece of plywood gets some idiodic metric measure, but its a 4X8 piece of wood. If they wanted to be truely metric they would sell stuff in even metric measurements.

 

Face it you Canucks use english measurements whether you like it or not.

[G-spotter]

well, i drink a pint anyways
