Yeah, started by an American Southerner,,,

Grab the popcorn 10Pups, we'll watch this one from the sidelines,,,,,,

What!? I ain't trolling the Canucks! Just thought the video was funny. Speaking of accents and failures to communicate here's a great one, true story I heard about a guy from Minnesota who was traveling through Louisiana and stopped at a roadside fruits stand. He noticed a man had a large kettle on a propane burner and asked what was cooking in the pot.
"Boiled Peanuts" the Cajun replied
Having never really heard a thick southern accent pronounce "boiled peanuts" before, the fella from Minnesota says, "What!? I know Cajuns have some rather exotic food but, really? seriously?"
The Cajun looked back at him as if a leg had suddenly sprouted from his left ear and said "Ain't nothin' wrong wit boiled peanuts Mister, we eat deese all de time. Mine's good too, wanna try?"
"No offense but I've never heard of ANYONE ever eating bull penis and I'm not real keen at all to try."
"Boy, you must be outside your mind, why you tink I'm cookin a bull's pecker? Come here boy, I show you what I'm cookin'"
The Yankee was naturally fit to be tied when he looked into the pot and saw it contained only boiled peanuts.

You just had to go and post that poutine photo didn't you. Now I am sitting here eating my fiber full breaky wishing it was a big plate of poutine instead. Nothing like a hot plate of poutine to start you off in the morning on a cold Canadian winter's day they say.

Well Bob doesnt it look so delicious, the gravy soaked fries and the stringy warm cheese...... squeaking in your mouth. i dont feel bad since for you its probably a trip to the local dinner to get one, for me its difficult i have to make my own and finding fresh cheese curds is not always easy.

Hey 10OldGI - yea, I always knew we were just havin' fun...hey, if we can't make fun of ourselves once in awhile, we are getting to old.

Besides, we all having fun at the safest place, the United Nations of Shaving!

And hey, I've got one about the Irish (I'm part Irish), it goes like this:

"Three Irish guys walked by a pub...."

Cheers!

Sounds like some "Acadian" (Cajun) ive spoke to! definately challenging at first!
@1oldGi Perhaps calling Canadians Canucks is not the best aproach! Somewhat like calling an American a Yankee, dont know to many that enjoy being call that or any other slang.

Canucks is the name of the Vancouver hockey team so you'll only offend the habs fans

And what about The Maple Leafs, Oilers, Senators, Flames, Jets?

We got a game tonight with the Penguins; got a feeling Sid The Kid is bringing an ass whipping with him.
