Hmmm... what replies do you get?

Mostly....a bunch of uuhhs, several mumbles, and the always popular quote that’s rapidly turning into a broken record:

” well it’s Bush’s fault anyway”

Grr, I resemble that remark. I’ve faced down an armed home invader who had a crowbar. He ran like heck, and once everything was under control I called the cops and reported the attempted break in.

Blame Mark Steyn. He wrote the article. Congrats on chasing the intruder away.

Eh I have to agree with him. He’s right to call us out.

I must say, the Canadian guys I have met have been no pushovers. But then they have been from Alberta and British Columbia, which may be a different breed from your ordinary Ottowan, Toronton or Quebecois.

Yep, that’s where I’m from as well. It really depends on where you are and where they are from.

I guess it’s the same with the US too.

Clowns have been an integral part of Americana, and I, for one, won’t stand up to this blatant attack on Clown-Americans.

Amen. Now let's go kick some mime ass.

I gotta find a copy of Shakes the Clown.

Did you get the Lady Smith?

I tried it but it was too small for my hand.

No, I’m still sitting on my handgun purchase permit (required in North Carolina) waiting for the opportunity to go shopping with no children.
