And mounties. Don't forget them.


Right! The Mounties and hockey. Do the French even have any sports at all that don't involve skinny little steriod freaks on bicycles? Fist fight - Mounty vs. French cop - laughable.

Isabeau, I think you have plenty of ammo if your relatives from France start trying to pull that "France is the incomparable landof superior everything" nonsense.

The French do play rugby (badly - except that guy with the beard). Of course, if we're going to criticise any country for it's lack of masculine sports it would be the USA.

American Football? Don't make me laugh. Robocop wishes he were so well armour plated.

I was also going to say Lanny Barbie too. But then I remembered that she's French Canadian.

French Canadians confuse me. They're to the French what Steve Tyler is to Mick Jagger.
I'm not sure what's worse - being Mick Jagger, or spending your entire life styling yourself after Mick Jagger and wishing you were him.


Please don't get us mixed up. Completely different animal. Nothing like either Mick or Steve. We wouldn't be caught dead 'prancing' on a stage.

I've changed my mind. Canada is allowed to get points for producing Lanny Barbie, even if she is French Canadian. Being the Most Attractive Person In the World definitely counteracts the Frenchness. The fact that she does hardcore pornography too is a bonus.

I remember in the 70's (?) my mother buying those squeezable cheese things, looked like sausage casings. Haven't seen those in a long time. You'd open up the screw on plastic cap, and squeeze some cheese directly in your mouth - crackers optional. Fun for kids, but oh so disgusting.

here ya go:

Robocop would explode if he took a hit from a free safety coming at full speed from the other side of the field as he went up to catch a pass. Seems to me I've known quite a few rugby players who converted to American football, and every single one of them put on the pads after the first play where they got stomped into the mud. American football isn't the big hug-fest that rugby is. I'm not saying rugby is a walk in the park - I'm just saying that you might want to take a few hits on the football field before you make any snap decisions about the padding.

Good approach. Try, "That's nice. I'm glad you have that going for you. In Canada, we have clean air, clean water, friendly people, good relations with our neighboring countries, good medical care, and no snotty elitism. Plus, we've never turned tail and run from a fight. That makes us infinitely superior to you."

Watch their heads explode. It's fun.

(the preceding is not meant to be anything other than a joke and does not necessarily represent the opinion of the author, although it may - he's not saying)


Hey, I am sorry, but the French part of Canada has their own version of snotty elitism... some of them do a pretty good job of keeping up with the mother ship. But there is also a good share of nice people and clean water...

I've played it a few times. Yes, they tackle hard - because they have the confidence to do so; because they are covered in kevlar. Rugby players would tackle just as hard if they had armour on. Plus, they don't need to stop for a rest and a chat between every tackle :D

Absolutely not.

Actually, his parents were. Myers was born in Scarborough, Ontario - but I'll give you that one, bloodline and all.

He claimed in an interview, back when "So I Married an Axe Murderer" came out, to have been born in Liverpool and emigrated when he was a couple of months old. Obviously he misguidedly thought that he could garner some sort of cool points by claiming to be from the same city as the Beatles. He was wrong.

Ah. Got it. I had no idea that rugby players had confidence issues. Maybe if rugby players went all out instead of pulling up and not tackling hard then you would have a leg to stand on, but as long as they are afraid to actually run into each other full force, then they don't get to claim the title as toughest game. Incidentally, I don't think American football players get that title either. I'm not sure who I'd give the title of roughest sport to. Maybe some sort of MMA competition. I'm scared for those guys' lives when I watch them try to kill each other.

Announcer: Ooooh he's going for the Brazilian Boogwagum hold - it knocks out your opponent by separating the vertebrae in his neck and putting pressure directly on his spinal cord, causing vessels in the sinuses to explode so he drowns in his own blood....Watch closely - you'll see his eyeballs come clean out of their sockets.

Jesus. I'm afraid of those monsters.

Nothing excuses the gay pants. If American Football is supposed to be a celebration of the pinacle of American manhood, then their country is headed for trouble. Why degrade your athletes by making them dress like Las Vegas rent boys?

Back to the topic at hand; if you're looking to mock the French, this should not be ignored;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCevP9DJtIY

When the rest of the world were listening to indie guitar bands, that is what the French were listening to.

The band are not French, but their popularity in France was to blame for them being unleashed onto the rest of the world.
