Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!

And 200+ years of continuous protection under the continuous protection of the Royal Navy.

It's good to have friends.  It gives us something to be thankful for.

LOL, Royal Navy.  Talk about a blast from the past.  Legions used to protect Rome, too.

And if you want to get technical about it, Canada was seriously involved in supplying the Manhattan project, and was the second country in the world to produce a nuclear reactor (in 1945 no less).  It's only because you guys asked us politely not to build nuclear weapons that we chose not to.

Fuck off.

Seeds, you need to ask politely.

[CountDeMoney]

garbon, will you please tell BB to fuck off?  Like that?

Not only that but of all of the countries in on early atomic research Canada had by far the fewest spies passing it all on to Moscow.

Yep.  There was only that one Canadian scientist involved in the research, and he could only do so much in terms of spying for Moscow.  There was a second Canadian who finally finished high school while the Manhattan Project was still under way, but he refused to go to work for the project because his orders from Moscow used trahison as though it were a male noun.

So, speaking of Canadian meals and holidays and such....

I'm hosting Max's family for Christmas. What should be on my menu that's outside The American Norm (tm)? Keep in mind, the family is from Alberta & Saskatchewan not Quebec or Vancouver.

Suggestions?

Yes. ah, well, no.

[Ed Anger]

Butter tarts for everybody! 

what's this? 

Serious?

Poutin is already on the menu.

[Eddie Teach]

I'd suggest asking Max. 

[merithyn]

I'd suggest asking Max. 

You've clearly never met my husband.

Meri: What should we have for Christmas dinner, honey?
Max: Whatever you want to make.
Meri: But what will your family like?
Max: They'll be happy with whatever you make for them.
Meri: So, no suggestions?
Max: Poutine?
Meri:

He speaks that much?

[Eddie Teach]

Don't ask what he wants, ask what they had when he was a kid.

[Grey Fox]

He speaks that much?

There's no time reference...

grumbler, it wouldn't be all that hard to do do some research to be able to troll early Canadian atomic research, but you do need to put in some effort...
