Toys :)

In the USA they have motorized barstools, which I thought were neat:


In Canada, we have the same thing. But we put V8's in them instead

Re: Toys :)

I am ashamed, as an American, that we didn't think if that first. My hat is off to our polite, denim-wearing, letter-writing neighbors to the north.
I'm also ashamed I ran out of Canadian stereotypes.

Perhaps they can drive this stool to a hockey game, avoiding hitting a moose while they drink maple syrup and pay for it with monopoly money.

EDIT: I merely jest Canadian GMIers. I love you country and the wonderful bass-filled lakes contained within it.

Aha, there they are. I was trying to work in igloos and free healthcare in, but it just wasn't there.

That thing is amazingly overkill, you've gotta love it.

Gee, first time I've heard the denim and letter writing thing. Maybe SAS can confirm if it's a thing with the Quebecois.

I was referring to the Canadian tuxedo, which is not endemic to Canada, and the letter writing is anecdotal; I receive a disproportionate amount of letters and emails at my office from Canadian people.

I know it is not a v8, but I would rather drive a cooler.

I'm sure that somewhere there is an American working on a jet engined bar stool.

Re: Toys :)

Canadians like putting V8s in thing that shouldn't have them. Here's a HEMI powered Big Wheel
