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.

voice; fff had to know this was coming

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

America?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

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

voice; He doesn't think before talking.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah...why?

[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.

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.

[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.

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...

[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; >D

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

Not a different world, Hanna. If what I read is correct, I was born on the same continent as your America. It merely isn't called that and never was.

It's just a different history.

[hweeeeeel.livejournal.com]

What is... fireworks?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes, that too.

voice; And cue the confusion!!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...Does that mean we lost the Revolution?

Dang. That...sort of sucks.

[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.

voice; there'll be lots of it

[wishsrequiem.livejournal.com]

Washington's Rebellion ended in failure, yes. I believe one of the "founding fathers" as you would know him, betrayed the rest.

[hweeeeeel.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

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

I'm trying to find some for the Fourth.

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

You could've at least had the decency to call us your "Canadian amis". Not that it would've helped your case any, but it'd be one less black mark on your record.

[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...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry!! I am! I know that not every Canadian is from Quebec, though, so they might not be happy with the french use...
