Case 56

[manofgnee]

Now, I may not be Canadian, but I hold much respect for the country that gave us mounties and maple sugar candy. Also, they have an awesome flag. I mean, how many other countries could pull of having a leaf on their flag? None, that's who. Canada did it first and best.

So, to all my Canadian hombres out there, Happy Canada Day!

Which brings me to a related topic: The Fourth of July, aka America Day. I haven't done fireworks in forever since I think if I tried to do them at home, I'd blow something up. Or something uncool like that. But fireworks are cool, and they're tradition...

So I wanna do something with fireworks. A fireworks show...except I don't know where to get them. Any ideas? Are they even legal here? Cuz I know back home the legality of fireworks is different from state to state, but here, I don't even know...

Ah well. I'll figure it out!!

...Also, is it just me or is it sort of chilly today...?

At last. Someone acknowledges our greatness.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hey, Canada is all right! Again, you gave us maple syrup. And for that, we are eternally grateful.

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

How nice to know that our goodwill with our southern neighbours is founded entirely on the processed sap of our trees.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well, when you put it like that, it sounds sort of dickish of us....

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

I am merely repeating what you yourself said first.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

And yeah, it did sort of come out wrong. Canada is also known for hockey, and health care, and mounties...

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

And having a leaf on our flag?

voice; fff had to know this was coming

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

America?

voice; He doesn't think before talking.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...why?

voice; and Code Geass likes to screw with history 8]

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

I wonder if you should celebrate a holiday that doesn't exist...

voice; History screw, woo! :D

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

What? The Fourth of July totally exists. We barbecue and shoot off fireworks and act more patriotic then we do the rest of the year.

voice; ready for it? 8D

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

Hanna, I don't believe you see what I am getting at. For you, I suppose it signifies victory. For my world, it means nothing but failure to obtain freedom.

voice; Hahah, ready!!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Oh. Right, different world thing, sorry...

[hweeeeeel.livejournal.com]

What is... fireworks?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oooh, they're really cool. They're explosives, sort of, that you launch into the sky and they blow up in these beautiful colored sparks.

[hweeeeeel.livejournal.com]

Oh! That sounds pretty! Meredy want to see fireworks.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Fireworks are great. They're really pretty...

I'm trying to find some for the Fourth.

[hweeeeeel.livejournal.com]

City has many things. Meredy sure it has fireworks too!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

We'll find them, and then we should put on a great big show!!

[laughs-for-two.livejournal.com]

You forgot bagged milk. And snow.

At least you're making an effort, I guess? So, uh, thank you.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

We have snow! But not as much as you guys...or Russia. But not bagged milk.

I'm sorry if I can't come up with more...

[laughs-for-two.livejournal.com]

That was supposed to come off sarcastic. I'm just listing stereotypical stuff. I could have said igloos or beavers or colourful money or something. I had a pen pal in America once. He asked me about some pretty weird things.

Anyway, the point is no-one ever talks about the US being the home of, um...I don't know, hot dogs and...alligators.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I guess you're right.

I was trying to think of cool things to say about Canada, but I've never been before. I've wanted to visit, though!!

[laughs-for-two.livejournal.com]

Well....Toronto has a pretty big tower? And Niagara Falls is ours. The red-suited mounties are pretty...touristy, so I guess they're pretty recognisable as ours but when a guy gets letters asking him how they possibly fight crime when they stand out like that... I'm a bit touchy about mounties, I guess.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I knew Niagara Falls was at least partially in Canada...though I know that part of it is in the US too...

But mounties are cool!! They're cops with more awesome uniforms...superheroes wear really bright outfits all the time and they fight crimes...
