They don't just call it a Quarter Pounder? No way man, they're on the metric system, they don't even know what a quarter pound is. They call it a Royale with Cheese. What do they call a Big Mac? Well a Big Mac is a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
I suddenly got nostalgic for the old, non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers (yes, Denis Leary reference). Those things were the best.
I recently read Denis Leary's book "Why we Suck" it was actually pretty spot on and awesome. I recommend it. Is it about how he's actually Canadian? ZING! Actually it has more to do with American/North American society. Pretty sure he American and was born in Mass. Yeah, I know. I just have to give you Canadians a hard time because you're so awes.... Can't even finish that one without laughing... If my hands were not so cold I would punch you. but I would do it politely and say Eh after. |
I put a smiley face in there it makes everything ok right... | 2012-12-06 2:49 PM in reply to: #4525140 |

His whole act is only degrees of pizzed off which doesn't really appeal to me.

Actually it has more to do with American/North American society. Pretty sure he American and was born in Mass. I totally agree with you. It took me a year to read the book and my friend bugging me. I am not a fan of his. But I had a true appreciate to his book. |

It watches over them and reports to santa if they have been bad or good. You move it around and hide it in places in the house for the kids to find. Or I am seeing some parents I know use it to play bad games and make messes and blame it on the kids to show them mis-behaving is bad.
And the elf goes away after santa comes.
Basically the parents have no guts to really punish their kid if they do something bad so they use and elf to scare them into being good and well... Because well kids know their parents won't discipline them but some little bastard creepy elf might cause them to not get presents. |
