Steve, You are, of course, right. But I was taught that close only counted

Well, duh. It's not IN Canada in the same way that Peurto Rico (a US
province) is not IN the US.

Technically, you're both right. Michigan is in TWO pieces, one in Canada,
one in the US.

P.S. Is it true that our neighbors to the north eat Canadian Goose instead
of turkey for their Thanksgiving dinners?

There are no Canada geese actually IN Canada. They've moved to the
states where there is better food and the money's worth more.

Does the Elephant in the Hall still watch parades and football and
stuff itself to puking fullitude for its Thanksgiving dinner?

I'm homesick. Waah!

It's misused all over usenet, so the **** what? How does that excuse you

Trolling can be a joke, and it can be an irritant. I'm amused by this vegan
thing, at the same time, it's not all that funny either. Now Hank Hill, he

Why, yes you did! You said, "Oh do tell what town you live in? I'm in
Michigan." That infers that you think MIchigan is a town.

I thought you would be smart enough to
know it is a State.

Remember, I'm the one who pointed out to you that it wasn't a town. I
didn't want to be rude, so I said "I don't think Michigan is a town."
But I really was quite certain, having driven through across it the
last time I was in Canada. (BTW, do you have counties there, or

Well now you know. Your welcome!

Huh??

US = states and counties (sometimes parishes)
Canada = provinces and shires

I thought everyone knew that.

We have municipal districts, townships, counties all sorts of names,
depending on what part of Canada you choose but, I've never heard of a
"shire" in this Country - perhaps the UK. But I'll bow to your

Hi Steve,

Looking at an old bottle that says 4/5 of a quart. That is why the
government set the standard at 750ml.

Hope This Helps,

They don't celebrate Thanksgiving. The most similar holiday in Canada
would be Boxer Day. Something to do with the Boxer Rebellion, if I
understand correctly.

"Trolling for trolls"? That makes no sense. Why would I want to be
trolled? I'm trolling for responses to assertions that are illogical
or nonsensical.

Trolling is a practical joke, generally played on people who take
Usenet just a Little Too Seriously (tm). Does trolling invoke flames?
Sure, sometimes, but they're funny to those who know what's going on.
Try posting to a Star Wars newsgroup that the T in "Captain John T.
Kirk" stands for "Tiberius" and see the wacky hilarity that ensues.

(No, don't do that. It's been done.)

The word is misused here so often

I need an excuse? Hell, I don't even need a reason. This is Usenet,
and trolling is a time-honored tradition in Usenet culture. You don't
like it? Find a way to cope.

snip arrogant crap

First "smartass." Now "arrogant." Should I toss in a hearty "**** you"
just keep things even?

Trolling can be a joke,

It's always a joke. Take your sense of humor into the shop for
repair.

and it can be an irritant.

Don't read the thread. Killfile me. Set your newsreader to ignore
crossposts. Take up knitting.

I'm amused by this vegan
thing, at the same time, it's not all that funny either.

Make up your mind.

Now Hank Hill, he was funny.

Yeah, it was funny. It was also too obvious to score very high on the
Troll-O-Meter.

This is a corrected cross post so I'm assuming it's a troll attempt. Yeah

Trolls is so stewpid.
