I recommend training your parrot to go ballistic whenever it hears a Canadian accent.

;)

I'm kidding, Canuckistanners!

Ayuh, that's a Canadien accent you have to worry about, not a Canadian one.  ;)

Oi'll be waiting a long while if I expect ye to have any Divine Moments of Truth in regards to the 'reed canary' reference, then. ;)


Horribly obscure reference. I'm a former biology & organic chemistry student - it's purely a theoretical interest.

According to Wikipedia:

Reed canary grass is also planted as a hay crop or for forage. Furthermore it provides fibers which find use in pulp and papermaking processes.

I aint stickin any o that in me pipe!
