Some thoughts on the great white north.
Mcdonalds here makes some spectacular java. Beats the blazes out of the hortons tar.
Mcdonalds here cant put whipped cream on the frappes. Hortons does but its like the filling in a twinkie rather than regular whipped cream.
Walmartians here are like walmartians everywhere, only with an accent.
Today has been hotter than the hubs of hell but i swam a lot so i stayed cool. Lake Huron is colder than a welldiggers ass but warm close inshore. Less gook in the wrackline too, mostly driftwood and leaves with only the occasional tangle of fishline and tampon inserter.

The Walmartians in the store I prefer mostly show up in digital camo BDU’s. Each and every one gets a handshake and a sincere Thank You from me.
As a side effect my wife and I usually get through the checkout line very quickly due to being ushered ahead by very nice young men and women in Digital BDU’s, Bless ‘Em.
Oh, those are people. Im talking about the 600 lb guy with a ponytail dyed green wearing a spandex singlet, those folks.
+1 on Gerry… And I’d be looking for another aisle if I saw that Og…
I would be shopping some where else if I saw that. Only so much eye bleach to be had.
Aw, hell. Im immune. Ive seen and done things that would curl most humans into a weeping fetal ball.
So “beach whistles” are endemic in Canada as well!
It is a privilege to swim in the Great Lakes.
“colder than a welldiggers ass”
An expression I haven’t heard (except when I’ve said it) since my Dad died. The other day on a forum I frequent someone referred to something as being “as fucked up as Hogan’s goat”, another Dadism I’ve not heard in a long time. Dad has a million of them, a couple of which you could even use in mixed company.
One of Dad’s favorites was, “dumber than a box of rocks.”
Bust a sledgehammer in sandbox.
Or another for rain storm would be, like a cow pissing on a flat rock. Used to describe a short deluge from the sky.
“Sharp as a marble” is one of my longtime favorites.
