my love…my Country…

i really love Canada a lot. some really cool people were born here. i was born here. ‘we’ invented hockey. winnie the pooh is originally from Winnipeg.

but the lamest thing, the lamest thing EVER is that we don’t have TiVo.

this makes me so fucking mad. it makes me feel like ‘we’ aren’t cool. it makes me want to move to Philadelphia.

    it is a version of it but the box is like over 500.00 dollars. shaw are assholes i hate them. not to mention the millions a month to watch regular shit.

    TiVo’s start at like 50 bucks in the united states of america man

    i must find out more.

    if you moved to Philly you’d be closer to me… But I want to include you on my possible Blogger tour of Canada….

    TiVo? I almost bought one tonight.

    Canada sounds pretty cool. You guys sure can churn out some comedians!

    okay well i don’t have tivo but if you come to philadelphia you can sleep on my pull out couch and watch my comcast digital cable…

    When I was little and I thought about Philadelphia, I would think about Benjamin Franklin and the Liberty Bell and that sort of “America-Fuck-Yeah” stuff the grade school teachers pound into our minds when we’re kids… Now I just think of that movie with Tom Hanks in it where he’s the gay guy dying of AIDS and gets fired from his law firm. That’s a sad movie. But it’s good. He won an Oscar for it.

    So, that’s totally got nothing to do with TiVO, I know. But I always thought Canada was pretty cool. Knowing you guys don’t have TiVo doesn’t change that for me :)

    if you watch tv through your computer it can do the same things as tivo without having to pay for tivo

    so white river, just named after winnipeg.

    Living outside Philly and having been there more than enough… I have to ask “why?” It can’t be for our fine sports teams can it?

    quibble quibble milne never owned the bear per se, it was loaned to the london zoo by a vetrinary officer (yes vets served to take care of the cavalry) at the start of the war but his stay became permanent after four years there. he was bought from a trapper for 20 clambones. i wonder what 20 bucks bought you back in 1914….. probly a model T and a hooker. he must have really wanted that bear.

  18. gusgreeper Says:

  19. Kunstemaecker Says:

    We don’t have Tivo here either! grrrr

    Is Tivo like digital tv, because if it’s that, then we do have it.

  20. gusgreeper Says:

    we have digital but we can’t stop pause or rewind tv without spending hundreds of dollars. it is LAME.

  21. gusgreeper Says:

  22. valdi Says:

  23. gusgreeper Says:
