  1. The District of Columbia does not have the distinction of being a state as it lacks that level of government. The reasoning behind which is that if any state were to contain the nation's capital that state would be favoured in legislature.

    Oh yeah, and there are 50 states, I talked to eleven Canadians who all said 52. This is something that North Americans should know by the time they are ten. There's fifty stars on the flag representing the current fifty states. There are thirteen stripes which represent the thirteen founding colonies. I was in absolute shock that they didn't know this incredibly basic fact about our nearest and most important neighbour. (I know I'm going to hear it about that statement!) And the "talking to Amercians" sketch was all I could think of. I had absolutely no clue that Canadians were just as ignorant as Americans. I really thought our education system was significantly better and would produce people that would know this bit of trivia.

    And I won the thousand dollars, but it's not bloody likely that I'll ever see it.

  2. I think plain popsicle means anything that has no chunks of fruit or anything in it and is not cream based. So your grape popsicles would be okay, but not a creamsicle or a fudgesicle or those del monte strawberry pops.

    Grape, orange, red (yes, red's a goddamn flavour) etc. are all okay.

  3. So I had a bet going tonight for $1000. How many states are in the USA? I talked to ten different Canadians and they all gave me the same answer (which was contrary to my own).

    So Jambands.ca memebers, how many do you think there are?

    P.S. No looking it up before you answer (I'm looking at you BradM!)

  4. Phishtaper and Jaimoe: HIPPIE FIGHT!!!! Why don't you two knock each other over with big bricks of organic tofu? It's shit like this that makes the entire hippie subculture look completely ridiculous and thus people of the mainstream tend to discredit all parts of it, even those parts with validity. Please, stop embarassing (I have no idea how to spell that) yourselves and your compatriots.

    Max Webster: I like your attitude!

  5. How much do you want it?

    No honey, you gotta ask "What do you think it's worth?" Then you tell them the asking price (aka pull a number out of your ass) and dicker from there. (I swear to god I didn't try to make this sound dirty, it just came out!....Fuck, I did it again!)
