what you should do is see who gets more trivia right than pass the torch to them. So if Bucky got the most right....you dont post the answers till after, then he gets the right to post other trivia questions.........whatchya think?

besides, i'm too lazy to make up trivia questions. and how many questions can certain people make up about saskatoon berries?

truth or crap: saskatoon berries are like blueberries, but harder and less flavorful.
 
lol, i've never actually tried them.

are manitoba strawberries like regular strawberries, but not as good also? (j/k, can't help teasing our mild mannered neighbors to the north)
 
Yo buckytom, while you're sniffing stuff give my saskatoon cream pie a sniff, I think the cream might be a bit off...
 
i think it's the baker, not the cream...:)

yes, yes, I know! The Canadians also got the worst of it during the Dieppe raid (rehearsal for Normandy), if memory serves.

And let's not forget the participation of the AnZac troops in the Pacific theater.

Didn't mean no offense, Ken.
