Saw this a while ago and loved it... it so sounds like my parents.

Dear Frek,

Today I got my pogey from the feds so I went and bought myself a 2-4 and a mickey of screech. Last time I had screech was when I was on The Rock. Bunch of hosers there I tell you, and I swear they are all offside. It was the summer of 03 and also visited The Peg, Hogtown and had my birthday in Cowtown. Personally I’m from Lotus Land. It’s a nice place, but I wouldn’t mind being east a bit to experience the Chinook one year.

Anyway, I continued shopping, and drove a couple of clicks to the nearest Tim’s. Got myself a double double then headed over to pick myself up some poutine for dinner. Still had some loonies and toonies left so I went and picked up some Homo milk, then headed home. I kicked off my runners, then flopped down on the chesterfield to watch the tories and the grits battle it out. Anyway, I’m just being a keener now so I’ll take off.

Love, you’re favourite puck bunny, Aurora.

Now that's CanCon. [Canadian Content, for those of you not fluent.] Brian's really full of it....

I'm sure you mean that in the nicest way. :-)

You can take the boy out of Canada, but you can't take the Canuck out of the boy.

I was thinking you were full of Homo Milk. That's the juice of a fine Canuck. :) Where's your toque, BTW? Turfed out in some fit of spring cleaning?

I do have a toque here somewhere (an authentic Bombardier Ski-doo one at that!) but can't for the life of me locate it. The fact that DC doesn't have winter probably has something to do with that.

As a consolation prize, however, I offer a photo of my skates:

I suspect Danny couldn't even translate that, although it sounds more like what the 18 year olds that run around the university in the winter shirtless here would say (and we do have winter!)

The normal ones of us up here DO NOT touch poutine!
