CANADIAN member's role call

[congobongo]

Inspired by our friends in Michigan. I don't think we'll have as great a turn out but tell me I'm not all alone in the Great White North. EH! *cracks a beer and reaches for a doughnut*

[omnedon]

Well, I might as well grab a seat, and a donut too, eh?

Maybe we should meet down the Hortons?

;)

[Nature Boy]

So, when does the hockey game start?

Cold enough for ya today? -26 with the wind chill I hear...

[Aswald]

Well, I'm not exactly Canadian, but I DO live in Central New York, and right here we do get clobbered by Canadian-based snow every winter...

[Nature Boy]

^ :roll:

[sniperCCJVQ]

Cold enough for ya today? -26 with the wind chill I hear...

Yup!

It's look like the Canucks will have a good season this year, but the Canadiens here...well they suck :-(

How long until the cup came back to the Great White North ?

[Lady Jaye]

Hey, I'm here too! I'd love to go grab a coffee with a donut at Tim's, but it's too damn cold today.

[maxlords]

*pulls up a chair* Damned Ontario snowfall! Too bad Canada is slightly bigger than Michigan or we could throw a get together! :)

Speaking of which..what provinces are we all in? :)

[Nikkita]

I am Canadian.

Right now it's -19. It'll get colder. It'll drop as low as -32C to -40C (sometimes).

O_O

Edit: I'm in north-east ontario, near sudbury in a stupid amalgomated town named "District of West Nipissing" (or Field)

[Lady Jaye]

As the info under my avatar says, I'm in Montreal. Now, how did we suddenly end up with minus celsius temperatures? It's so freaking cold that I refuse to go out of the apartment after I come back from work. My body just hasn't adjusted yet to the cold.

[congobongo]

Speaking of which..what provinces are we all in? :)

Ontario - Oakville (work in TO)

[omnedon]

Deadmonton.

[maxlords]

Congo, Oakville is only a 1.5 hr drive from me...down in Ingersoll! :)

[congobongo]

Congo, Oakville is only a 1.5 hr drive from me...down in Ingersoll! :)

Ya, I know it's not too far. I'm originally from Sarnia so I drive by there quite a bit. Found any hotspots in the London area? Things are very dry up this way.

[newcoleco]

I'm from Quebec city (province of Quebec, Canada, Earth).
It's cold today but soon it will be near to "zéro degré celcius" (32 F) with snow... it's winter here! nothing special!

[Charlesaway]

Ottawa, eh? Go Sens Go!

As if. I'm sure they'll make it to the playoffs and then choke again. Same ole, same ole.

[maxlords]

Ya, I know it's not too far. I'm originally from Sarnia so I drive by there quite a bit. Found any hotspots in the London area? Things are very dry up this way.

Sadly, very dry in London too. Unless you count the evil game store...and he's charging prices like $150 for Lufia 2 and $99 for an import Shining Force 3 part 1. Bastard should burn for the prices he sells games for, and he's about the only one that carries ANYTHING older than PSX around here. There are a few pawns that get the occasional good game but that's about it :( Canada sucks for games compared to where I was in Oregon.

[Nature Boy]

I currently live in Brampton, ON and work in Mississauga, ON but I was born and spent the first 25 years of my life in K/W, ON.

@MaxLords: I actually knew somebody who lived in Ingersol. They got broken into though so they moved. I'm not sure if they're even part of a town but they're outside London now. Nice town.

[Charlesaway]

Maxlords - my trip up to London last summer netted me a few loosed Odyssey2 games and an Odyssey2 Boxed. I was quite happy. Then again, I was probably also quite lucky.

[NESCollector75]

Im also in Canada! Brantford Ontario, (GTA) I would also meet at the Tim Hortons except Brantford has like 20 alone. hmmm... I wonder how many Timmys there is accross Canada?

[Lady Jaye]

Quite a few as Tim's really expanded in the past few years. I see less and less Dunkin' Donuts and more and more Tims. Just where I am right now, I'm within walking distance (25 minutes and 15 minutes) from 2 Tim Horton's. And there's one 5 minutes away by foot from my parents' home (that precise Tim's being the hangout where I usually meet my friend Marty for coffee when I'm back in my hometown).

[Nikkita]

I hate the fact I live in assfuck-no-where. =/

Gah x_x

[maxlords]

Brantford is about an hour away too... sounds like we could do a little get together if you guys wanted to :) You, me and congo could probably all hook up. I'd say that Brantford is sorta midway between ...if you guys want..I'm around to do it.

[briskbc]

I'm way over in BC (as you may have guessed). It hasn't snowed in my little part of the world yet. I think its great but Big White and Whistler have had a tough start to there season.

[Nature Boy]

For those if you in the London, ON viewing area:

My wife is going to be on the local Rogers channel this morning. On a show called Rogers Mornings I think (11:00am). She works for Epson Canada and she's doing a bit on digital photography. Her name is Tricia Pantry (she's still in the process of taking my last name so she still uses her maiden name obviously).

Timmy's are definitely *everwhere*. I live in the outskirts of Brampton and there is still a Tims within 5 minutes of my house. And there's at least 3 within 10 min. walking distance from work. Funnily enough, the same ratio works for McD's.

[congobongo]

In other Canadian gaming news, there's a pic of me playing XBox in today's Toronto star. There's also a quote. You can see the quote online at

BTW my real name is Dan (damn my secret identity has been revealed)

[Freddy88]

Another Canuck checking in here... thanks to my new buddy Omnedon who directed me to this great message board!

I am located in the west in the great province of Alberta...

[carnage6]

Me too. I'm in the Toronto area.

[Mr.Platypus]

I'm In Winnepeg, Manitoba
Is there anyone else hanging out here in the lower mainland?

[badinsults]

I'm living in Victoria, BC right now. I'm originally from Manitoba.

Lots of snow here, but it is melting away.

[TurboGenesis]

Hey can I join you guys at Tims? They are all over here too and I'm in the US! Got one about a mile down the road from my home.

[Mr.Platypus]

Can anyone reccomend some good pawnshops/thrift stores around Winnepeg?

[flyingducky]

[marvelus10]
