Seasons

Thanx jbryanc! Uhmm, that's like... 55 or 56 little US degrees!!! Of course, my igloo is melting.

Haha! Time to get out the sunblock! You Canadians must be roasting!

I thought I smelled something. It's Canadians Bakin'.

I suppose if I said it was peameal bacon no one would know what I was talking about.

Canada is in mourning. Frank Schuster died.

Frank who? I'm sorry for the loss and all, but I've never heard of Frank Schuster or peameal bacon.

Aha! You're not a real Canadian then.
Or you're terribly, terribly young.
Wayne & Schuster -- they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show more than Ed Sullivan.
Ask your Granny about peameal bacon.

No, you're right. I'm actually French Canadian I guess... And young, I just barely got the last Johnny Carson episodes in my teens.

Although, I just can't get enough of Paul's talent on Lettermen. And, of course, I'm a big Ben Johnson fan... I guess, like most Canadians, I'm just mixed up.

And, is peameal some sort of west coast salmon flavoUred bacon I may never of heard of? (oops, I capitalised my "U" in flavoured... see, you've got me all worked up now).

Nope. Very Ontario. Think of back (aka Canadian) bacon coated in peameal. That's right: ground peas. It was considered quite a treat in my youth. You still run into it occasionally.

I don't expect anyone to understand the full import: Peter Gzowski is dead; it's snowing on the west coast.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

Happy Valentine's Day YOU! Not my holiday, me trusty pagan!
