No true Macon Magnolia would have such a foul mouth.

This is such a random song (yes, I have had the pleasure of hearing it)

ETA: (on the radio)

I pretty much stand by my post, adding the qualification that I figured you had some affiliation with Macon, GA, home of both Mercer Univ. and Wesleyan College, where I think two GLOs were founded.

But apparently you are from the sports side of Macon, as the former hockey team "Macon Whoopee".

I find many people who use foul language pretty boring and lacking vocabulary, but I am able to only judge you by your posts.

Saying that our nations capital or any other city should be burned is not funny.

Detroit takes a bad rap -- some of which may be deserved -- but I lived and worked in TV there for five years and found it a pretty good place to be.

There is a Canadian Parody of that song that goes something like this:

oo come back proud canadians
before you had tv
no hockey night in canada
there was no cbc

in 1812 madison was mad
he was the president, you know
well he thought he tell the british
where they ought to go
he thougth he'd invade canada
he thought that he was tough
instead we went to washington
and burned down all his stuff

and the whitehouse burned burned burned
and we're the ones that did it
it burned burned burned
while the president ran and cried
it burned burned burned
and things were very historical
and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
wa wa waaaa
in the war of 1812

now hillbillies from kentucky
dressed in green and red
left home to fight in canada
but they returned home dead
its the only war the yankees lost
except for vietnam
and also the alamo
and the bay of... ham
the loser was america
the winner was ourselves
so join right in and gloat about
the war of 1812

and the whitehouse burned burned burned
and we're the ones that did it
it burned burned burned
while the president ran and cried
it burned burned burned
and things were very historical
and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
wa wa waaaa
in the war of 1812

in 1812 we were just sittin' around
mindin' our own business
puttin' crops into the ground
we heard the soldiers coming
and we didnt like that sound
so we took a boat to washington
and burned it to the ground

oh...
we fired our guns
but the yankees kept on coming
there wasn't quite as many
as there was a while ago
we fired once more
and the yankees started runnin
down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico
they ran through the snow
and they ran through the forest
they ran throught the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go
they ran so fast that they forgot to take their culture
back to america, gulf, and texico

So, if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice,
Bring a pack of matches, and we’ll burn the White House twice!

and the whitehouse burned burned burned
but the americans won't admit it
it burned, burned, burned,
it burned and burned and burned
it burned, burned, burned,
now, i bet that made them mad
and the americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
waa waa waah!
in the war of 1812!

I agree - I haven't heard nearly as much about Devil's night as in the past (born and raised in Windsor - though no longer there).
I was in detroit 2 weekends ago. It was my very first time driving in the states and I was all alone, and all the damn highways are under construction! At least I was just going to Redford.


and back to the original topic. it's interesting how noone cared about this island for 30 years until now. But for strategic reasons they both want it, although I think US would be happy if neither claimed it, or it doesn't matter to the US as long as the surrounding waters stay international. Of course I'm in favour of claiming the island - and making the surrounding waters Canadian.

I dunno, maybe we should have a drinking contest with Denmark to see who wins?

When I read the first verse, I thought you were talking about 2005!!!!!! Well, the last two lines, anyway :D
