OH CANADA

I love you Canaderian sonsabitches.
Oh, Canada
Our home and native land,
True patriot love
In all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts We see thee rise,
The true, north, strong, and free.
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land Glorious and free.
Oh, Canada
we stand on guard for thee,
Oh, Canada
we stand on guard for thee.

I've been watching all the Olympic events and I get pretty choked up when "Oh Canada" plays.

I've also learned a lot more about these great neighbors than I ever knew before.

We couldn't have better northern neighbors. I hitchhiked across Canada in the early seventies, and I fell in love with the people and their beautiful country.

And we love you Murrican sonsabitches too. But we'll still beat you at hockey tomorrow.

Willym said...

Yep love me some 'murricans too - hey we're family so sometimes like all families we have disagreements like what hockey team we support! But just to let you know if we don't win the gold in hockey I'm going to be one sulky son of a bitch!

Players from the USA want to drink beer on the ice too.
I was hatched about 15 minutes from Canada. All that politeness helped form my lovable personality.
I'm watching the Gold medal match in Curling right now, My Doctor said my heart would take the excitement, maybe.
I get to root for Canada without any guilt.

Yay, Kevin Martin! He's from Edmonton, you know (my city). The Norwegian skip said, "I didn't think we could lose with these pants!" They deserve a gold medal for having the nerve to wear those gawdawful pants in public!

fecking canadian hockey team...grumble grumble..

I was actually SO relieved when the Canadians won hockey gold. I mean, come on, they live and breathe hockey up there. Half of our local team (Penguins) is from Canada. It just would have been wrong for them not to win it.

Is that what they are singing all the time..had no idea.

Unknown said...

Hey it was a good game. Not the result we wanted but hey what do you do?

Anne Johnson said...

LOL! I used to sing that at the Red Wings hockey games! I forgot some of the lyrics. Thanks!

PS - It's a better national anthem than ours. Then again, "Chopsticks" is a better national anthem than ours.
