As a kid, my family and I once found ourselves in Ottawa on July 1, having no idea it was canada day. We went to the square to see the changing of the guard, and got Canadian flags to wave, which we did gleefully. It's times like these I almost wish I could up there and do that now.

Happy Canada Day to all you canucks...just remember:
 
 You will always be cooler than doodles
 You play better and manlier sports that doodles
 You are much friendlier than doodles
 And you can piss doodles off by sending your cold fronts down to them.
 
 YEAH FOR CANADA!.....eh

Bodacious ta-tas.  But not historical.  Does anyone really think those synthetic mammaries will be remembered 100 years from now?

John Irving, while born in the states, has all but become a Canadian citizen. not quite Poe, but a great author in his own right.
