Valeris 2 Posted April 26, 2004 I am half Canadian, half American so does that mean that I am a loud-mouthed hockey player? LOL I found this very funny and though I live in America, I take no offense. I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stardreamer 1 Posted April 28, 2004 Amazing, we have something similiar. It's a poem on Palatinate that's the region where I'm living. Of course without the last part. Some of the people here would probably say the last part would match our neighbour region "Saarland" LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdigs 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Its always good to re-read a good Canadian Joke...but " super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them" is pushing it...the Bolts stopped the Habs last night, the flames did do well against the wings and well Toronto needs help with Philly.. But a good joke never the less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
