| So you think you can speak Canadian eh??
Canadians! Here’s your chance to confuse and confound those south of us who mistakenly believe we speak the same language!
I’ll get the ball rolling: Translate the following sentence for rep:
Pop over for some Canucklehead action and a few wobbley pops.
First to translate gets rep.

Watch Vancouver play and have some beer..............
One of my Newfie teamates used "wobbley pops" all the time.

| "I took my toque off, threw it on the chesterfield, peeled away my bunny hug, ripped off my stanfields, threw them in the bin, grabbed my housecoat, slathered my shreddies in homo milk and sat down in front of the tube with a stubby after working on my beater. Ah the joys of being a keener who doesn't suck slough water."
Go.

| I took my knitted winter hat off, threw it on the couch, peeled away my hooded sweatshirt, ripped off my underwear, threw them in the garbage?, grabbed my bath robe, covered my breakfast cereal in homogenized milk and sat down in front of the tv with a beer after working on my old car. Ah the joys of being a brown nose who doesn't drink marsh water?. | |

Congrats on the wobble pop reference though!
New sentence.... The Peg is 6 klicks | |

What happens when you use a computer generated script to translate a language.
Sorry. No dice. Close though.

Oh, and I notice that you took the nice little link out of your sig to confuse those non-Canadian speakers!  Lucky for me, I'm Southern Canadian and can understand Proper Canadian.  | |

While I was going home (Canadians live in bushes I hear) I stopped at Tim Horton's wanting some coffee drink (I don't know anything about coffee, much less Horton slang) but the guy didn't know what he was doing and screwed it up.

| You got the gist of it. But most Canadians don't live in the bush (it's what they call the Woods or Forest) and a Double-Double is a coffee with two creams and two sugar (what we call light and sweet). You do know dickall.

So I misunderstood Vancouver play... for "a Vancouver play"... he didn't specify hockey, but I should have assumed this was the sport he was talking about, as there is no other.
So Late, you got my public apology, and I'll rep you when I'm able.
Go? I repped you for your correct response. | |

| Don't feel bad guys. The people in other US protectorates talk odd as well. Sometimes the Puerto Ricans and Guamanians are every harder to understand that you Canudians.

We realize that you're just trying to keep secrets from your parent. And like any good parent, we indulge our children in their harmless little attempts to be independent.

| Back to the contest... any guesses for either Jbirch's post (worth rep from both Jbirch and yours truly) or my post for rep from moi? Come on! There's two words in mine to translate and one you could guess at easily and the other you could guess at if you thought a little about it.
Plus we all become a little richer for learning about your northern neighbours. | |

Go.
James. | In the interest of international peace, here's the official translation:
"I took off my winter hat, threw it on the couch, took off my hoodie, took off my thermal underwear, threw both of them in the laundry hamper, grabbed my bath robe, had my breakfast cereal (like wheaties, but slightly different) with whole milk and sat down in front of the tv with a beer in a short (12 fl. oz.) bottle ( http://www.stubby.ca/) after working on my crappy car. Ah the joys of being a go-getter who isn't exhausted."
James.
