HAPPY CANADA DAY

This is me and Vaughn on our way home from Canada Day celebrations in downtown Calgary, when people on the train break out into song, Vaughn is the guy in the blue sweater near the end, the people on the right were smoking weed, the must be from Denmark, and people further down the train beat up some kids who started crap with them at the train station downtown, ISN'T CALGARY GREAT?

Jangles, all I'm hearing is weird bleeps and bloops... should there be singing?

Thank you free trial video converter, I got the audio working well, I use that term guardedly as I recorded this on my cell phone, but it is working now, and I hope you enjoy

Responding with Equal voracity, as the Lrrd has taught me.

Ah yes, a new anthem would benefit us all. Its short, sweet, to the point, and can teach us that Canada kicks ass.

We Australians should change our anthem. It has the word "girt" in it.

It should be Waltzing Matilda, a song about a man commiting suicide after stealing a sheep.

Girt is a wonderful word.
You guys need to work girt into your anthem.

(Tip: It's part of Australia's secret to national awesomeness) :wink:

I liked the idea a lot and it was a pretty good video overall, I think the long pauses in between the verses hurt the momentum of the song though.

Don't insult Wraith like that.

Excuse me? When was the last time I said "ur" or "u" I freaking HATE that.

And when was the last time I complained about a LRR video? Is "never" a time?

And for that matter, when was the last time Corax pwned n00bs? You can't be Wraith without pwning n00bs! DUH!

*shudders*...I could make out about only 2 words before I had to close the window, it sounded like drunken monkey's having sex, and it was not pretty. I shall be emotionally scarred for awhile, thnx.

That was pretty much what it sounded like on the train.
Then it got REALLY awkward when the instigators started chanting "WHITE IS RIGHT!" afterward...

kinda catchy though.

Nice set of rules. I'll be sending people there soon.

Wait, isn't owning newbs instead of helping them a breach of etiquette?

I'm surprised more of the Canadian viewers haven't commented on the music...

Owning newbs is a breach of etiquette, but what does that have to do with anything? Wraith is talking about n00bs, whom he pwns. For great justice.

Graham, I would talk about the music, but according to the CBC, apparently I'm not Canadian. In fact, I may not even exist. So I guess I can't comment on it.

Precisely. You see, there are newbs and there are n00bs.

Newbs = "How do I make a Youtube?" At one time or another, we were all newbs. They don't know any better, so you help them, and hopefully they get better as they learn.

n00bs = "OMGWTF u r n 2 windoze? M$ sux! my mac only needz 2mb of RAM 2 run teh sims! u r stoopid!" If they don't know better, they sure as hell should; and even if you can forgive their ignorance, they display a wilfull refusal to learn, to show respect for the people who they seek help from; or, worst of all, they insult people based on herd mentality, consumer-whorism, or just a general refusal to check their fact before they use them to insult people who have displayed actual knowledge of the topic.

Newb: inexperience.
Noob: ignorance.

both equally deadly, but its easier to teach than it is to reach through the internet and bitchslab someone until they enlighten

What's even worse was sitting right beside one of these people yelling "White is right" was an asian gentlemen, possibly shitting his pants.
