    Default CANADIAN member's role call

    Inspired by our friends in Michigan. I don't think we'll have as great a turn out but tell me I'm not all alone in the Great White North. EH! *cracks a beer and reaches for a doughnut*

    Well, I might as well grab a seat, and a donut too, eh?

    Maybe we should meet down the Hortons?

    Well, I'm not exactly Canadian, but I DO live in Central New York, and right here we do get clobbered by Canadian-based snow every winter...

    Yup!

    It's look like the Canucks will have a good season this year, but the Canadiens here...well they suck :-(

    How long until the cup came back to the Great White North ?

    *pulls up a chair* Damned Ontario snowfall! Too bad Canada is slightly bigger than Michigan or we could throw a get together!

    Speaking of which..what provinces are we all in?

    I am Canadian.

    Right now it's -19. It'll get colder. It'll drop as low as -32C to -40C (sometimes).



    Edit: I'm in north-east ontario, near sudbury in a stupid amalgomated town named "District of West Nipissing" (or Field)

    As the info under my avatar says, I'm in Montreal. Now, how did we suddenly end up with minus celsius temperatures? It's so freaking cold that I refuse to go out of the apartment after I come back from work. My body just hasn't adjusted yet to the cold.

    Ya, I know it's not too far. I'm originally from Sarnia so I drive by there quite a bit. Found any hotspots in the London area? Things are very dry up this way.

    As if. I'm sure they'll make it to the playoffs and then choke again. Same ole, same ole.

    Sadly, very dry in London too. Unless you count the evil game store...and he's charging prices like $150 for Lufia 2 and $99 for an import Shining Force 3 part 1. Bastard should burn for the prices he sells games for, and he's about the only one that carries ANYTHING older than PSX around here. There are a few pawns that get the occasional good game but that's about it Canada sucks for games compared to where I was in Oregon.

    I currently live in Brampton, ON and work in Mississauga, ON but I was born and spent the first 25 years of my life in K/W, ON.

    @MaxLords: I actually knew somebody who lived in Ingersol. They got broken into though so they moved. I'm not sure if they're even part of a town but they're outside London now. Nice town.

    Maxlords - my trip up to London last summer netted me a few loosed Odyssey2 games and an Odyssey2 Boxed. I was quite happy. Then again, I was probably also quite lucky.

    Quite a few as Tim's really expanded in the past few years. I see less and less Dunkin' Donuts and more and more Tims. Just where I am right now, I'm within walking distance (25 minutes and 15 minutes) from 2 Tim Horton's. And there's one 5 minutes away by foot from my parents' home (that precise Tim's being the hangout where I usually meet my friend Marty for coffee when I'm back in my hometown).

    Brantford is about an hour away too... sounds like we could do a little get together if you guys wanted to You, me and congo could probably all hook up. I'd say that Brantford is sorta midway between ...if you guys want..I'm around to do it.

    For those if you in the London, ON viewing area:

    My wife is going to be on the local Rogers channel this morning. On a show called Rogers Mornings I think (11:00am). She works for Epson Canada and she's doing a bit on digital photography. Her name is Tricia Pantry (she's still in the process of taking my last name so she still uses her maiden name obviously).

    Timmy's are definitely *everwhere*. I live in the outskirts of Brampton and there is still a Tims within 5 minutes of my house. And there's at least 3 within 10 min. walking distance from work. Funnily enough, the same ratio works for McD's.
