patricia Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Well, ours (America's) is just some Al Yankovich re-do of an old British drinking song: And I don't know what that means, ok? ← I think that America the Beautiful is a much nicer song. Let's have the U.S. adopt it as their national anthem. Good idea. Quote
Johnny E Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Posted July 25, 2005 I prefer "This Land is Your Land" myself. Quote
patricia Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 I prefer "This Land is Your Land" myself. Either one would be better than The Star-Spangled Banner, IMO. Both are patriotic, but don't glorify war. A national anthem should make one proud of their heritage but not talk about rockets exploding and other horrors of war as if they were admirable. Quote
StormP Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Are the meese gay? I am not aware of any studies on gay mooses. You would have to go into the bushes to find out. Quote
DTMX Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Are the meese gay? ← Certainly not Ed Meese - unless this is his wedding photo. Quote
Ed S Posted July 29, 2005 Report Posted July 29, 2005 Hockey draft tomorrow. The Sabres have a Draft Day party at the arena. Local sports talk radio station has a reporter in Ottawa to provide coverage and there's a special live draft day sports talk show. Hockey Rules! Quote
Ed S Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Oh yeah, the lottery for the draft order was broadcast live in Buffalo. There ARE hockey fans out there. Quote
StormP Posted August 27, 2005 Report Posted August 27, 2005 Are the meese gay? Your question has troubled me for some time. I'm afraid I can't get the answer for you. Moose are not easy to get close to. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted August 27, 2005 Report Posted August 27, 2005 Isn't Canada about 4th to do anything? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 27, 2005 Report Posted August 27, 2005 Canada just wants to beautify itself, so it legalized gay marraige so everyone gay from the US will move there and the whole country will have immaculate lawns. Quote
patricia Posted August 28, 2005 Report Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) Isn't Canada about 4th to do anything? ← You bring up an interesting point, Chuck. Our national motto, when it comes to competition, has long been "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." I still remember competitors at various international competitions saying that they were honoured to represent their country and their hope was to earn a bronze. We have long been self-depricating, polite, non-aggressive. I'm reminded of the figure-skaters, Sale and Peltier, who were gracious in defeat and gracious to the Russions who eventually shared the spotlight when the duplicity in the judging was exposed. There were no fists in the air. Just polite acceptance and what can only described as class. Even when ours earned gold, they always congratulate the ones who placed below them, or simply displayed their skill. I don't know whether constantly chirping "We're number 1!" or "U.S.A., U.S.A." is better. Edited August 29, 2005 by patricia Quote
