Title: Ancestry (Canadian vs. Scottish)
Post by seasonalboomer on Jun 7^th, 2005, 1:27pm

My parents are Canadian, but 2 of my grandparents (one on each side) are Scottish. Which should I blame for me being so friggin' stubborn?

All of them.

I'll shut up if you will just admit to us all, that your people are a stubborn people.

Title: Re: Ancestry (Canadian vs. Scottish)
Post by broomhilda on Jun 7^th, 2005, 1:37pm

You mean Scottish people?

I think he means our staff, Broomie. He wants us to tell him that "our people" are stubborn.

Actually, the receptionist here reports to me. So I guess that makes her my staff, or "my people". She's a really nice lady, actually. I don't think she's stubborn at all.

But then again, I'm not the expert on Canadians or Scots that Seasonal apparently considers himself to be, so I could be wrong here.....

Just trying to bring a little levity. . . What with being told to "look away" over on that other thread, and all the nastiness....

And your response, is just what I thought it would be, stubborn all the way. [smiley=laugh.gif]

Interesting how you feeling Canadian gives you the right to make generalizations of peoples character? ::) And of our population?

If I am stubborn can I have "the Mule" ;;D

Post by seasonalboomer on Jun 7^th, 2005, 2:13pm

okay broomie, I've erred, based on your input I believe my Canadian heritage must be linked to me being a little too sensitive. And I guess the Scot's can take credit for the stubborn side. :o :o

Post by Margi on Jun 7^th, 2005, 2:15pm

Broomie, I think it's kinda cute how he hangs on every word in every post by a Canadian, don't you?

I think he's a Canadian wannabe. Should we make him up a special batch of poutine? Or maybe just send him a Timmy's coupon and thank him for playing? Better yet, maybe we should him how to lick a metal gate at 40 below. I mean, the right way. ;)

Oh that's all fine and well. I actually think in a pinch I could run over the border and y'all will give me joint citizenship anyway. But I still haven't heard anyone admit it. That while you give the outward appearance of being peaceloving liberal people, that you're actually stubborn. Admit it and I'll go on my way.

[smiley=laugh.gif] LMAO, I guess we may even provide him with an honorary OUCH.CA toque to keep him warm while hes at the pole ;;D

even better!! Let's send him up to Tuktoyuktuk - he can be our Northern Correspondant. I've heard they're looking for folks like him up in Tuk. I think he'll fit right in!

I'm thinkin he'd make a pretty good Dudley Do Right. Or maybe he's more of the Bullwinkle type, Andrea? What do you think?

Well at least I got them off that nasty ass thread for a few minutes.

Thomas, that's drivel you just posted. What does it mean? What does one have to do with other? Where are you coming from? What do you mean moderate/middle of the road?

I grew up in MI which is exactly moderate/middle of the road on this subject.

oh yeah, you're a real hero, aren't you? Yep, you certainly got "them" sidetracked. The reason I put the disclaimer there, Scott, was because it IS just between me and Flash, and I didn't want to see a resulting dogpile.

We save the dogpiles for you. :-*

Hummm thats a tough one given he thinks hes distracted folks from some "other" thread, guess hes self proclaming the Dudley Do Right [smiley=laugh.gif]

So are you practicing to be a politician now? Instead of solving a crisis, you divert attention away from it by authoring a new problem.

Exactly. Divide and subdivide. Got a problem at home -- let's go look and find us a big ol scary "axis of evil".

Best regards,

Your favorite shit-disturber

hmm....just like that green icky stuff in the bottom of my fridge.

broomie, i'm about to lose my connection here - took me 20 minutes to get back to ch.com - forget hotmail. so if you've emailed me, it's not that i'm ignoring you, we're just having torrential rains here and a real poor satellite connection. bummer, just when it's gettin' good, too! ;)

Well as the new adage goes, "Don't try to teach a pig sign language, they don't have opposable thumbs or fingers, try lip reading instead."

I don't know Broomie..
Maybe we would be better off trying to teach the mule to lip read?! ;)

I dunno either, Broomie. Ask Seasonal. He knows EVERYTHING! :)

k, over and out. Animals are starting to pair off here, time to build an ark!

thanks for the good time, EH? :)

Whatever melts your butter - I'll admit it - does that mean you'll go away? ;;D

Oh Crap - no, you only said you'd go on your way. Guess that means we can anticipate more pontificating from you.

Broomie, Margi, what in hell did I just admit to? [smiley=laugh.gif]

It's the best way to handle a stubborn mule, oops, meant to say male - just let them believe they've won and you're home free! ;;D
