Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.  Hopefully my friend in Canada enjoys it

:wink:

Also, as a disclaimer, I did not realize these were Packers colors until after I was about halfway through the first yellow stripe.  Hopefully my fellow Bears fans can forgive me.

The ultimate Canadian superhero
Written on Aug 11 2010

Perhaps Captain Canada performs the “Canada Slam” whilst hunting in the Canadian woodlands…

[The following is from this website]

CAPTAIN CANADA

Real Name:
Daniel Eaton

Identity/Class: Human, technology user

Occupation: Unemployed

Affiliations: Captain Newfoundland,
Captain Freedom, Japan,
Mademoiselle, Veena,
Nightworld

Enemies: Remlin,
Sho-Gun, Mr.Big

Known Relatives: Unnamed parents

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Montreal, Canada

First Appearance: Captain Newfoundland # 1 (1981)

Powers/Abilities: Most of Captain Canada’s powers stem from his costume,
which he figures is controlled either by his brainwaves or by magic (his
mentor, Captain Newfoundland, has told him that both are correct). The armour
can fly, even into outer space, and survive in the interstellar void. It
can create a force field, and has inbuilt lasers and computer. It can turn
him invisible or generate hologram doubles of him. It can turn immaterial,
letting him go through walls. Without the armour Daniel still has some telepathic
abilities, which he learned from Captain Newfoundland.

History: Daniel Eaton was chosen by Captain Newfoundland to become
Captain Canada. The alien being gave him a suit of armour controlled by his
mind, and then tutored him to become the defender of his homeland. To ensure
that the new hero learned to use his powers responsibly, he only allowed
the hero to access the suit’s powers over time, unlocking new abilities each
time Daniel proved himself worthy. Daniel rescued a kidnapped model to gain
his first ability, the power of flight.

After being tutored by several cosmic beings, Captain Canada’s first real
test came when the Super-Mafia unleashed a giant robot, Sho-Gun, on Montreal,
the city he was living in at the time. The robot was sent to kidnap Queen
Elizabeth of Great Britain and her son Prince Charles, but thanks to the
hero’s intervention, it failed. After a prolonged battle, Captain Canada
was triumphant and destroyed his opponent.

Comments: Created by Geoffrey Scott and Danny Bulanadi.

A spin-off from Scott’s newpaper stip, Captain Newfoundland (Sunday Herald,
1979 to 1980), Captain Canada has proven his most successful character, appearing
in comics, graphic novels and even animated cartoons.

CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with

Captain Canada, partner of Beaver Boy

CANADA SLAM!
Written on Aug 10 2010

While in Ireland, I’ve had the opportunity to learn a lot about ancient Candadian traditions, such as their moose hunting practices.  The most common of these is called the “Canada Slam” as demonstrated below by my beloved Canadian housemate Cassidy:

This particular hunting technique is both dangerous and effective.

Please do not try this at home.

This is what we do while you’re all at the pub
Written on Aug 9 2010

This is what my housemates and I do at home while everyone else is at the pub:

It’s called a Milling Frolic.

After dinner last night, my housemates and I sat around trying to recall any American or Canadian folk songs (we’re all American or Canadian).  This resulted in some renditions of “She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain” and a strange Canadian song about beavers.  Those in turn resulted in a makeshift Milling Frolic.

At a glance, this seems like some strange Canadian ritual.  Once you get to know the practice though, you quickly realize that it’s a nice break from all the moose hunting, syrup collecting, and Canada Slamming.
