The Secret of Jeopardy's Success

[KrazyHorse]

I have news for you: Montreal's 3 million are what's keeping the other 3 million Quebecers from leaving...

Nebraskans are the only people in the world who can brag that they've got a cornfield on one side and an ICBM silo on the other...

[Drake Tungsten]

Is Nebraska really so sad as to brag about having producers for JEOPARDY being from that state?

It's better than having the world's biggest rodeo as your province's claim to fame...

And what of Montreal?

A city of 3 million. Twice as big as your entire state.

It also has 3 million more French people than Nebraska. I'll take Nebraska any day; it smells a lot better here.

Except for Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, etc...

I believe the term is "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth", and it's not a provincial thing, it's a city thing.

And no, it's not better than having the Stampede. You see, the Stampede is essentially a large state fair...that's all it is. I'll take live free performances from bands like Collective Soul and the Tragically Hip over Jeopardy producers anyday...

Actually one of the biggest railyards in the world is located in Nebraska.

Also Strategic Air Command, located in Nebraska, kept you crazy Canucks safe from Soviet invasion for many years.

You people LEECH off of the benifits that Nebraska gives you...

Calgary sounds like a Caribou type town actually... Is the Stampede a race for the life-giving benefits of permafrost from the pet Elk located in the city?

Instead of running of the bulls, you have the silly assed Labatt bear chasing Caribou through the street?

Sounds riveting.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

What's the capital of your neighbour state again?

311's better than Collective Soul or the Tragically Hip...

Denver?

Seriously though, which one are you talking about? I know you're looking for a French name, but St. Louis, Des Moines and Pierre all fit the bill.

Dude, although Collective Soul sucks, and the Hip are not that Hip, 311 is f**king awful.

Why couldn't you have said someone more cool?

I would say something rude about Canada and Nebraska, but I'm originally from Utah, so I won't.


ACK!

Because I love both bands, and don't care if people consider them cool.

You see, where I come from, people like what they like. It's a novel concept, really.

He really likes 311, but I have to wonder if that's out of some perverse patriotism rather than their talent...

[Drake Tungsten]

The Canadians wouldn't know any of the good up and coming Nebraska bands, like The Faint and Bright Eyes.

I'm not saying 311 is great BTW; they're just better than the wuss rock Asher mentioned.

311 has fallen off the face of the earth...and for good reason.
