On the eight, I will be flying out to Toronto for a week in order to, among other things, visit family, see the zoo and watch the Jays. I will try to update my blog while on vacation, but I think it unlikely that I will be able to. If my blog goes un-updated for more than a week though, it means that I have either been murdered for drug money by Toronto’s crackhead mayor, or have watched Josh Johnson pitch and suffered a coronary as a result.
Fret not faithful viewers! Before I venture off into a pleasant getaway/impending doom, I will leave you with a healthy tip on how to recognize a Canadian!
How an American/Brit will pronounce “Toronto”:
To-Ron-to
How an American/Brit trying to sound Canadian will pronounce “Toronto”:
To-Ronno
How a Canadian will pronounce “Toronto”
To-Ronno
“Aha” You may think to yourself, “Those last two sound exactly the same! You’re a fraud, random blogger I found on the internet while searching for pictures of Emma Watson in revealing clothing!”
Well, if you weren’t thinking about it before…
But you see, there is a difference. When a non-Canadian says “Toronto”, nothing happens afterwords.
When a Canadian says it, however, “O Canada” starts blaring triumphantly in the background as water turn into maple syrup while Mounties arrive to serve ice-cold Molson’s as ice-skating beavers play an impromptu hockey game.
“O Canada! (Fuck Yeah!)”
See ya next week (At the latest)!
