1. Dan Akroyd, Martin Short

I know there are more...

[mitchum]

2. Dov Charney...

if you don't know who he is, Google him. You will be either amused or appalled.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. *Ahem* My dear yvr girl.........

You are, sweetie!


:loveya:

:hug:

[yvr girl]

6. Am I an invention?

I think I'm more of a creation.

But thanks... :loveya:

4. retractable beer carton handle gets my vote!

[qnr]

5. Too many to choose from. I'm totally confused. (Actually, I'm *always*

totally confused, but I thought this was a good opportunity for an excuse). If someone were to hit me with an answer bat, I'd probably say zipper, and then, since my head would still be vibrating, I'd add radio voice transmission.

7. Green garbage bag? WTF?

We have white and black ones. Do the green ones biodegrade properly? Are raccoons scared of green things? Props for the zipper. I imagine sex in public places was awkward before that gem worked its way into the scene.

9. Here's a little more info

I think they just mean disposable garbage bags.

[Tyo]

10. Vancouver n/t

[speedoo]

13. second Vancouver.

My favorite city, period.

Props also to The Band, who were/are mostly Canadians.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. I'd have to go for insulin...

It's changed so many lives...those who suffer from diabetes, and their families.

To my Northern neighbors, I say :yourock:

[swag]

12. Joey Jeremiah

Jr. High School Cad

[lutefisk]

14. Poutine

I wouldn't eat it every day, though.

[Omphaloskepsis]

16. I have waited years to use this line...

Are you fucking crazy? ick

[Monk06]

17. The wonder bra, zipper and automatic lubricator... and they say we aren't

SEXXXXXXXXXY.


Also, "Jerry Sizzler and my brother Jerry...
Sizzler who is often mistaken for an incredibly

........ insane person."

[mikeytherat]

21. We don't need a piano player! Sizzler and Sizzler is an a capella act!

"...and now the whole damn bus is cheering, and I can't believe I see...
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.......................a hundred, yes, a hundred, yes, a hundred yellow ribbons!
SING, YOU PRICKS!"

18. Molson and Labatt

That is what I say

[meegbear]

19. The JAVA programming language?!?!

Fah! Must have been Americans staying in Canada when it was created.

[CBGLuthier]

22. I know which one is the worst

the Java programming language. :-)

Telephone is probably the most important. I remember an old Jack Webb anti-communist propoganda film that claimed an american invented the phone. Teachers didn't like it when I pointed out that "mistake".

[Lautremont]

23. The water-powered engine.

I'm not kidding. A guy in Manitoba invented it, and it subsequently "disappeared." I'll try to dig up more infor, but the story of it can be found in a great book called "Famous and Fascinating Manitobans."
