Oh Canada! Oh Canada!

So this morn­ing I was in the liquor store to get, ermm… well, booze.
Yeah, yeah, I know I said morn­ing. No, I’m not los­ing it, just that it
hap­pened to be the most con­ve­nient time dur­ing the whole day. Any­way, so in
front of me there was this guy pay­ing his drinks. The cashier goes: “are
you from Eng­land?”, the young man on the other side anwers: “No,
Canada actu­ally.” To which to cashier responds: “Oh, no good…”
Now at this point I couldn’t stop myself from laugh­ing out loud. I’ve
never seen a cana­dian guy so baf­fled. You should’ve seen his face: “What?
They’re actu­ally mak­ing fun of me here? In Europe? What’s that all
about?” Of course what the clerk actu­ally meant was: “Oh, my guess
was no good.” Go figure…

Dave if you’re read­ing this, you know we love you man. This one is for
you. In the mean­time enjoy your­self at SXSW 2004. By the way, many con­grat­u­la­tions
with the deserved awards for the CSS Zen Gar­den. Rock on!

    It’s too bad I couldn’t have been there to see the expres­sion either. Sounds like a def­i­nite riot..and yes, we all love Dave and look for­ward to his inter­pre­ta­tions of the SxSW Fes­ti­val. Lates!
