That's no fair....
They are all states..
I can only tell you about the Lake Ontario and Huron one

 

[Alix]

gobo...#6 was Iraq. DEFINITELY not a state.

 

[goboenomo]

W/e i didnt read that question! :P
I just saw
state
state
state
lake

so I assumed it was almost all states...

 

[Alix]

LOL! Don't you just HATE it when someone calls you on stuff like that?

 

[goboenomo]

Just a little. :P
Better hope I don't kill someone! After my day at work today, I'm not one happy cook!

 

[buckytom]

i guess you didn't read #5 either, gobo. a national park, not a state.

alix, iraq and afghanistan are going to be combined into the 51st state, called jiffylube-istan.



i'm usually very good with geography, but i missed #'s 1, 3 and 5.

 

[goboenomo]

Fine, all but the lake stuff had nothing to do with Canada. That's all I learned in geography.
That's all they teach you....
The lakes, the provinces, the territories, the capitals, and the layers of soil in the earth.... that's about it.

 

[buckytom]

look gobo, i know all chicks really dig guys that play clarinet (it's the b-flat. makes 'em crazy), but ya gotta put it down once in a while and expand your horizons beyond the frozen north...

 

[corazon]

I didn't do so hot today, but I do know the alphabet of nations.

btw, bucky "jiffylube-istan"

 

[goboenomo]

Haha! Very nice! You know about the clarinet.
But what if I play the Eb or the A? Or all three!? All in one piece! That was fun.

:P

I know bits of geography here and there. Personally, I don't like geography.
So long as I can tell where I'm going in my area, I'm happy!


And we're not THAT frozen... It only goes down to -40 C. This summer it went up to +40 C!

Maybe in YOUR curriculum, but the one I taught had a heck of a lot more in it. Maybe you could say something like "what I was taught" rather than "thats all they teach you" not all of Canada learns the curriculum you did. And didn't you already have this conversation over in the Guess your Photo thread? Sorry gobo, that sort of all or nothing thinking pushes hot buttons for me. Didn't mean to lecture you. (Dang teachers never off duty! )

Back to the trivia...I sucked today LT, but I am going to plead the late hour.

 

[buckytom]

gobo, just say "yes mistress alix", and back away slowly. don't run (unless you can outrun those with you) or climb a tree.
she's got that look in her eye and her ears are pinned back.

 

[goboenomo]

Yes Mister Buckytom


Yes Mistress Alix


I can run really fast! I'm skinny and I have long legs! I can climb trees quite well too! But just in case....

*backs away slowly*

 

[urmaniac13]

I can run really fast! I'm skinny and I have long legs! I can climb trees quite well too!

Alex, does he happen to be your brother?

 

[goboenomo]

Alex, does he happen to be your brother?

Where did you get that!?

I told them! Never post me online!
GRRRRR
