Spreading Positive Canadian Energy
Whenever I go on a trip away from Canada I always pack a bunch of stickers and temporary tattoos like these. You can get them at a dollar store for next to nothing. I always carry some around with me and hand them out to the parents of screaming kids or just about anyone I get into a memorable conversation with. They work wonders and bring wide smiles aplenty!

Aghhhhhh! The Canadians are coming! The Canadians are coming!! The HORROR!!! LOL
Okay. Sorry, but they take us out in grade school in AK and teach us to say that. It's hard to control.
So . . . are you going to wear a tattoo to the beach this week???
Ummm, isn't it "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!" ??? We've long known that you Yanks have pretty poor geography skills. Perhaps you were looking in the wrong direction.
I don't "do" tattoos but may be willing to part with a few for you and your girlfriends if you were so intent on being honourary Canadians. People will treat you much better, you know!
It is "The Russians ......", :)
I had a comment ready to post, then Blogger went snaky on me, maybe just as well, because after agreeing how the world loves Canadians, that young American travelers sew Canadian flags onto their backpacks, to get better treatment, I started to say that maybe we're in some hot water lately over some issues, like the seal hunt, Kyoto, clear cutting...I went on a bit of a rant about these numbskulls, be it actors, environmentalists, rich loudmouths, that think they can tell us what we have to do, when they don't know all the facts....but maybe that wouldn't go well with your post of spreading "Positive Canadian Energy", which is very nice of you; so I'll scrap the rant :) Doing what you're doing, makes you a good will ambassador for Canada. In the light of things, we can use some good PR. Great Idea! I did blame my swiss genes and upbringing for the negative stuff. I read somewhere that swiss are some of the biggest complainers! Yuk,yuk, say it ain't so.
Now if only Blogger will let me post, that "word verification" keeps making me copy words 2-3 times, and I check, to make sure it's right!!
Rants are a good way to blow off steam! Spending time with many Latinos again I'm reminded of how uptight and anal us Canadians are!
Btw here's a little trick you can use to save your text before BlogSpot "eats" it: Before publishing type Ctrl-A and then Ctrl-Ins to copy all of the text into the Windows buffer. If the comment doesn't go through then try posting again. Just click in the text box and press Shift-Ins to paste all of the text. A little preventative medicine!
Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
