RE: Completely OT: Vancouver Olympics tourist questions

["Willy, Andrew" <AWilly () esmil net>]

Before anyones asks, they were boxer shorts.

(And no, I didn't arrive that way, my Canadian abusers had dumped out our
bags as well as wallets.  And there was no cavity exam.  And the Canadians
we met later were wonderful. But they all seemed to know about the surly
airport staff -- is that some kind of inside joke?)

Damn Canucks almost didn't let me in in 2000, I think because my buddies and
I got drunk on the plane.  

I was pretty offended and acted like a general asshole about the whole
ordeal, which I regret, but my feelings were seriously wounded. We got off
the plane ready to hug and greet our brothers the Canadians, reportedly a
happy, friendly bunch, and were instead interrogated for a couple of hours,
subjects ranging from how we'd managed to afford plane tickets and to where
we shopped for biscuits. They examined every object in my wallet, business
cards, cash, receipts, a stray nickel -- and did it wearing gloves.  When
the thugs went to don the gloves, one of our party, in an area across from
me (area = torture chamber), declared loudly he was going back to America,
immediately, and no man could stop him, so certain was he that the gloves
meant a cavity exam.

Anyway, we finally made it in, and I had formed a hangover in the meantime.
I stomped out and glared at every one of the inspectors as we filed past,
giving them real hell.  They looked back at me, apologetically.  I was
carrying a bag the proudly said "USA" on the side (that'll make you
popular!) and I learned when we got outside that a pair of underwear were
hanging out the zipper.  How the hell did they keep a straight face?

Needless to say, I'm too embarrassed to go back to Vancouver, at least via
jet.

I wouldn't know, I have tried to get into Canada twice (once in 1998
and once on my birthday NYE 2005). Both times they rejected me, the
last time they actually spit on me..

guess that just makes you guys like Canada more eh?

damn ham/bacon confusin',  too much hockey playin', watery beer
drinkin', hoarding all the legal hookers an weed-smokin', coming down
here for the important surgery havin' b@$tards. You guys have had two
good comedy sets: SCTV and the Kids in the Hall, its been the requisit
20 years, time for another jewel. After they "make it" we will be glad
to read over their application for american citizenship =P

"Just get the hell out of Canada eh?"

You guys are SOOO misrepresented in the american media
