Canadians Win

[notyoueither]

New rule, in honour of the anniversary of 1812.

If a Canadian can work a reference to the White House into a normal conversation, the Canadian won. It's a sort of Godwin's law with more beaver.

Yes, some of us know that it was British regulars who overran parts of Virginia and Maryland, and burnt the Yank capital to the ground, but don't bother us with details!

Just start a nice fire, roast your marshmallows, and have a good time. I know I am. *Hic*

1812! *****es.

Also stop pretending that burning down the White House and Washington wasn't a tremendous service to our country. Do it again any time you like.

After the war was over.

That's like scoring a goal after the buzzer.

More like a brawl between two players at the end of a hockey game

I bet you wish we had of won that one. It would have saved you oodles of grief and money down the road.

If you were really smart you would have offered up Texas.

Can Australians, New Zealanders and all other former members of the British Empire join in and take credit for this achievement?

Good idea, we could sell someone something we didn't have.

If your proudest moment was a bit of looting from two hundred years ago, done by someone else...eh, fine by me.

Only if they own shares in Tim Horton's.

Who said anything about proudest moment?

Sure, you burned our brand new capital, all that meant was that we had to use the old capital a little longer.

Meanwhile, we claimed the entire Mississippi, its access to territory, and its trade, in perpetuity.

Think about it. You could have controlled access to the river, like, forever.

Why would anyone want the Mississippi?

Doesn't it perpetually flood and is surrounded by the worst specimens of humanity?

Minnesota?
