Default Copies ...

Always thought the Australian anthem a copy of the USA anthem.
New Zealand anthem a copy of God save the Queen.
The Dam Busters theme a copy of "land of hope and glory"!

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Ken, if nothing else, this thread is helping 2nd fiddle improve his internet search skills.
As the violinist said to the bassist,
"I rest my case. You might as well put your bag down now."

ps. Is the line 'home of the brave' referring to a teepee or wigwam? Well, in old cowboy films Indians were divided into chiefs and braves... and, of course, there was always John Wayne.

One day, up near Canada, the Lone Ranger and his trusted Indian guide Tonto were riding thru the woods.

All of a sudden, they see a group of hostile Indians in 'war paint' in front of them on Horseback.

The Lone Ranger looks around. Indians to the left of them, Indians to the right of them and Indians behind them.

The Lone Ranger on top his white Horse 'Silver' turns to Tonto in a panic and says in a fearful tone; "Tonto, we're surrounded by Indians.. What do we do? What do we do?

Tonto looks at him and says in a proud Deep sounding broken English voice; "What you mean We, Paleface?"

If you're bored Paul, think about these words.
I'm in NZ and even I feel inspired by them!
How does Canada's song go?
I bet it isn't as good!

Default O Canada

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

...I wonder if it sounds better with a Canadian accent?

Verdict = fantastic.

Default New joke:

The Lone Ranger and Tonto and Ken are riding along and suddenly they are surrounded by Indians.
The Lone Ranger looks around. Indians to the left of them, Indians to the right of them and Indians behind them.
The Lone Ranger on top his white horse 'Silver' turns to Tonto in a panic and says in a fearful tone,
"Tonto, we're surrounded by Indians... What do we do? What do we do?
Ken butts in and says,
"Don't worry guys (at this point, while Ken is talking, both the Lone Ranger and Tonto feel the presence of two green smiling faces somewhere in the atmosphere above them) these guys are from Bombay, with a bit of luck we'll get Sitar Boogie!"
All three let out a very relaxing 'Lol'.

Exclamation Commin 'round..

All of a sudden we hear Richard commin 'round the corner to our rescue and as he came, he almost rode of the cliff!

"Yo, Rich" I yelled out, "didn't you see the Arrows warning the Sharp curve commin up"?

Rich replies, "Arrows? I didn't even see the Indians?


Bada Boom.... Crashhhhhhhh

Default Those damn drums...

Those damn drums carry on from Ken's joke and the Indians start doing a Souix war dance.
Richard asks the Lone Ranger what the drums mean and he says to ask Tonto.
He asks Tonto, but Tonto's too scared to tell him and says,
"Ask Ken, he knows the ways of the Souix."
So Richard asks Ken and Ken says,
"I'm not totally sure, but just pray that those drums don't stop."
Richard asks Ken,
"Why? What terrible thing will happen when the drums stop?"
Ken solemly replies,
"There'll be a bass solo."

Bada Boom.... Crashhhhhhhh (again)

Default Pale face?

Anyway, talking about pale faces, last week at school I asked a 14 year old student to leave the room because she was being disruptive.
She threw her book across the room and, just before she disappeared from sight, yelled at me,
"FU (words abbreviated) white boy!"
Gosh, I'm 54 and she's 14 and she sees me as a boy. Not bad! Maybe I could become one of those 'chick magnets' like Ken! (See the introduction thread "Greetings from Greece")

Steve, you are a true friend. Perhaps I'm a little old to keep all the positive forces facing in the same direction these days though!

Our rugby team (The All Blacks) played Canada in Hamilton (NZ city) tonight. While the All Blacks won comfortably, the Canadians did themselves proud. This is our national game whereas, for the Canadians, it is a long way down their list of chosen games! Canada, tonight I take my hat off to you! You are a mighty nation worthy of much respect!

Default Really?

The All Blacks played a pretty indifferent game and thrashed a country with many millions more people and resources!

Rob, get your braiins out of the cupboard marked 'In Case Of Thinking' and put them back in! Very few people give a toss about rugby in Canada!

Default Gosh by Jove big Bro is right!

"Rugby in Canada on TV
Here at The Score, we started showing rugby games for the first time in 2006: the Canada-New Zealand opener at the Women’s Rugby World Cup was aired live on on August 31st. Three other tournament games were also aired, but on tape-delay."

I think we need to start helping Canada with rugby. In the test last weekend, the All Blacks beat them 61-10. Now bear in mind that the All Blacks are a professional side and the Canadians are not... doesn't sound that flash anymore. Remember that a converted try is worth 7 points in rugby. It's not really that hard to score 61 points! Especially when playing a side with much less experience. No one down under is excited about the score and for good reason. Now the ABs have to take on South Africa... let's see what happens this time!
