We're Stronger

[The Tooch]

This is for Prairiehammer (But all can enjoy!)

 

It is in consideration of a conversation we had at MD, where we got to talking about cars we had owed in the past.

 

I was telling him about my Camaro ZED-28 and my Datsun 280-ZEDX…… and he looked at me rather confused.

 

Took us a while to straighten out the Zed & Zee thing, through our mutual Apple Pie/ Black Death/ Hot Sex alcoholic haze!

USA vs CANADA ( And no I'm not trying to start something.)

 

 

PUT sound on!! Words are great.. turn up the volume and enjoy it..

Hi

 

The letter "Z" ......You would pronouce it "ZEE".

 

We would pronouce it as "ZED".

Hmmm?? So I guess it's A, BED, CED, DED, ED, F, GED, H, I J, K, L, M, N, O, PED, Q, R, S, TED, U, VED, X, Y, ZED....

Interesting.....

[ZLDRider]

They also have flashing green lights. WTF?

 

So, what is that all about? Go, no STOP! Go, no STOP!

 

LOL

 

Just kidding. But, I have to admit that the first time I saw that I was puzzled.

 

BTW, they (Canada) also has Red and Yellow solid lights and Red and Yellow flashing lights just like us.

 

Also, their speed limits are woefully too slow. I once asked a Canadian cop/Mountie (whom I happened to be pulled over to talk with) why the speed limits were so slow up there?

 

He responded that it is because of all the animals.

 

I responded with, "But, animals can't read the speed limit signs".

 

Ba-dum-bump!

 

Yeah, he didn't think it was very funny either. ;-)

The truth is because we have a smaller population but still a large country to build roads across, speed limits are used to generate voluntary road funding.

Buddy of mine has a license plate "nufz"

 

 

Just wouldn't make sense in the USA!

[Prairiehammer]

Oh, you Canucks...

 

Zed. Humph! That's only ONE (of many) thing you can't get correct.

 

Humour? Labour? Colour? Neighbour?

 

Chevy doesn't call the Camaro Z-28 a Camaro "Zed-28". Datsun didn't put "Zed 240" on the grill either. Do you call the V-Max a Ved-Max?

 

Didn't think so.

 

Zed. Zed. Top?

 

I once owned a Kawasaki Z1-R. Somehow "Zed1R" doesn't look correct.

 

Since you guys are closer to America than England, I would think you would use American English instead of Commonwealth English. Less cornfusion.

 

Love ya! AND your STRONGER BEER.

Speaking of Zed Zed Top......My wife & I went to see Brooks & Dunn double billed with ZZ-top at a concert 2 summers ago, in Toronto.....it was our 7th or 8th time seeing Brooks & Dunn they were real good as always and it was our 1st time seeing ZZ-top live...and they were real good......but what was amazing was when Brooks & Dunn and ZZ-top got on stage together.......wow could those 4 guys rock it out on the guitars it was just awesome! "Who'd a thunk it!?"

 

And yes it translates as Zee Zee -top in Canadian English!

Canadian football's field is 110 yards long, and I think 5 yards (10?) wider. Also the endzones are deeper.

 

The football itself is a larger diameter (hence "bigger balls")...and we only have 3 downs to make the 10 yards for a first down. (hmm....wonder why it's not 10 meters....we are metric after all!)

 

The larger field and fewer downs means passing plays a larger role in the Canadian game.

12 players on the field instead of 11.

Also no fair-catch......defenders have to stay 5 yards off the receiver of the kick until he touches the ball.

Defence has to set up 1 yard off the line of scrimmage.

Unlimited motion in the backfield, makes for a lot of flea-flicker type plays, pitches around the ends, screens and picks.
