Budd said...: Canadians are Americans too! or North Americans or something like that.

We, in the United States, claim the name of two entire continents as what we will call ourselves. Some say it is not fair, but I think it was the British that started calling us that, so blame them.; July 1, 2010 at 6:02 AM

I shall have to make my vegetarian poutine and perhaps pick up some ketchup flavored potato chips today! And Molson, obviously.; July 1, 2010 at 7:15 AM

vancouver mark said...: Sigh, I remember the good old days when I used to be able to feel proud to be Canadian.
Will they ever come back?; July 1, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: You are just a gloomy guy VM. It's great to be a Canadian. Compared to any other place it's the best place to live in this world. Our complaints are trivial ones. You can always move to Somalia if you don't like it. Here, let me start your packing.; July 1, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Ally said...: Congrats! Do you light fireworks and gorge on burgers and hot dogs too? :); July 1, 2010 at 10:49 AM
vancouver mark said...: I just want Canada to be something like what it appeared to be all through my first forty years. I used to be delighted to say I was Canadian, and just want that to be the case again.
Canada has changed beyond recognition and it has committed/is currently committing grotesque and violent violations of human rights that give me a deep and abiding sense of personal shame.

Guess I'm just gloomy.; July 1, 2010 at 5:51 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
