"Hmmm...  what should we name this new country of ours?"

"I dunno.  Let's just all pick a letter and see what we end up with!"

"Sound good.  I'll go first.  I'll take a 'C', eh."

"I'll take an 'N', eh."

"I'll have a 'D', eh."

"I think we've got it!"

You nearest Canadian Consulate/High Commission, or where ever there are more than 3 Canadians in same place!

Can you make to Trafalgar Square?  Probably not, but the big piss-up will be there.

By the time I'd pootled down to London, all the cake and booze will be long gone, so I'll stay at home and lift a glass of the good stuff in honor of my Canadian Grog bretheren and Canadians everywhere.

No. But it is one of my arguments for legalization (not to derail a thread, but why should this thread be any different?).  It would turn Windsor, Ontario (a down-and-out city across the river from Detroit) into a boom town.

AFAIK, cops only bust dealers.  If they caught some kids with a joint or little baggie of dope, they'd scold/scare the kids and take them home.  Same with booze, but anything else brings the full hammer of the law.

Not sure if you can find it on Youtube, but the set they brought to Nashville last year seemed very steampunk.  They even played a song or two from the new album.  I enjoyed them, but I hate to say, I'm a snob.  I don't really like anything much by them past Moving Pictures.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.  I watched the Time Machine (Rush concert) video today, it was more 1930's tech, but the same idea as steampunk.
