And us English people struggle

excuse moi

funny that noone inquired about our hospitable accomodations eh!, like cmon,,,,,,what if they got here and realized that all of our dwellings are igloos coated in seal blubber,,,,lol,,,,I'm still killin' myself over the horse with horns though,,,,,,and just for a little known fact about our horny horses,,,,,,,come the fall they are the most dangerous creature in the bush,,,a bull moose will kill ya' soon as look at ya'......thats no lie either!!!!!,,,,but they are vegetarians and I think they tend to avoid brainlike matter........but they will still kill ya'...lol

All your igloos are belong to us

EXOS, you ought to post that "Find the Moose" picture you had a year ago or so...it was a classic Canadian bored game, I loved it!

And...pardon my ignorance...but Mooses are really vegetarian? I thought they fed on penguins and such?

Nahhh.....they just smell that way....

nah stoop,,,,,,penguins are a quite solitary creatures around theses parts and usually so fast you dont get more than just a quik glimpse,,,,i know the moose wont eat em',,,,but ya gotta watch them french canadians,,,they will put just aboot anything in their smoker's and I would think penguins might not be excluded from that list,,,,,,lol...

now too clear up the whole,,,,,"aboot",,,thing,,,,,I am pretty sure thats a newfy thing cause I dont know anyone that says about that way except for them,,,for those who are a little confused about newfy's,,,,,,,,,newfy is short for a newfounlander,,,,they can drink like there is no tomorrow and play a vicious game of darts,,,and man,,,,,,you have not tasted good seafood till you goto a good newf bar and order up a couple pounds of mussels and some clam chowder,,, by the way,,,,I am allowed to say newfy cause I have a few buds from there,,,and they dont seem to mind it when I say it,,,,,plus,,,my brother married one and I once dated a lil' cutey from ....mings bight.....

now,,,aboot our stinky dwellings,,,,I confess,,,,I dont live in an igloo,,,and I usually keep the seal blubber in the fridge to keep it fresh,,,,so thats not the cause,,,,,,,I'm thinking the smell may be from skinning all them beavers from my trapline in the living room,,,,I dont want to do it outside cause the smell sure does attract the walrus's,,,,and lemmee tell ya',,,,you dont want a walrus stompin' around the corner and surprising you,,,,them suckers move like the wind ......and once in awhile my neighbors pet polar bear gets outa the fence and the first stop he makes is my drying stand,,,,the last time he ate all my beaver pelts he left a huge turd in my yard,,,,so after rubbing his nose in it i had to drag him back to his yard by the scruff of his neck,,,,,,,I felt rather guilty aboot that,,,,

well,,,,,,I have an early day tomorrow so I better skidaddle,,,,,we have a whale hunt early and I still gotta get the canoe ready,,,,,,and for the life of me I cant remember whereaboots I left my harpoon,,,,,,.....
