A Lesson in Canadian Pronunciation
 

Sorta. :laugh:

If you've seen the 1970 movie, Goin' Down The Road, you'll get the most out of the following, but if you haven't... Then you're one of many, so don't feel bad. I personally don't like it; my dad thinks it's the best movie ever made. :shrug:

Anyway! The discussion about voices & accents in the spring ahead thread made me think of this. It's from SCTV (I know, I know, here I go again), and they really lay on the Newfie and Canadian accents. Garth & Gord & Alice & Fiona (lol) is, of course, a parody of the aforementioned Goin Down the Road... If there's a better summary of the movie, I have yet to see it. :p

(It's in two parts, blah. The second part is the best. Dere's a mouse in da hoos...)

:lol:

OMG - I have to get that "Young Street" song :laugh:

lmao, it sticks with you, doesn't it?! If I ever find the full song, I'll definitely upload it. We should go to Yonge Street for real when you're here... :laugh: I just hope you we don't run over a woodchuck on the way. That'd bum me oot.

Dude, your thread flopped :laugh:

Dude, shut up. :mad: :p

Of course it flopped - nobody cares about Canada. :shrug: Here, I'll bump it up out of pity for Lisa.

ooh a pity bump. :distress:


:p

I've told you before that I hate you, right? :laugh:

and that's how we like it ;)

Leave it to a Canadian to bump the thread back up again. :rolleyes:



:lol:

Poutine. Get your hot poutine.


EDIT: Did you know my quote comes from a Mary Walsh (aka Marg) CBC comedy called "Hatching, Matching, and Dispatching"?

I actually haven't even heard of that show. But I looked it up, and I recognize Mark McKinney's name. He was in Snow Cake!

take. off. you. hosers.

and you call yourself canadian??? :distress:



:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

(just don't admit it around someone who works at the cbc. aka... me ;) )

John Candy looked so YOUNG.......

oh, and.......
I put on Women's clothing, and hang around in bars (in the East Bay or Chico, you pick...)

Oh, I mean, uh... What a fabulous show you put out. :D

Frequent any of the bars on Yonge Street?

JC was only in his 20s there. :shocked: He

that pot of gold no one ever got? there's a REASON for that you knobs!

We didn't tune our attitude in? :shrug:
