National Anathema
funny stuff. I've never heard O Canada before.
at least, not the national anthem. Five Iron Frenzy wrote their own Sca version which is a lot of fun, but decidedly nothing like a national anthem.
Of course, this set me thinking, and I tried to remember what the US anthem is. For some reason, though, I keep trying to sing it to the tune of Silent Night, which is so close to working that it throws me off, but so far from working that it doesn't help me remember the words at all!
And another happy Canadia day to our neighbors to the north.(and south, to those who happen to live in Alaska.)

What Us Canadian border? Most Americans don't even know that the terroists of 9/11 came into America from Canada. 9/11 was just used as an excuse to build a wall to stop Mexicans. Just like there wasn't much if any connection between 9/11 and Iraq. Most of Al-Qaeda were in Afganistan.
But enough about me, how are you?

Fact 1:
The crew, and a large number of the fans, are from Canada.
Fact 2:
The video is entertaining to people outside of Canada.
Fact 3:
You're a fucking moron.
Fact 4:
Kill yourself.

If you listen to the LRRcasts, these fine gentlemen (and ladies) explain that they make these videos because they think it's funny. And if you don't think it's funny, oh well. And what's not funny about lumberjacks? Classic throwback to the Pythons. Cha-cha-cha!!

That was stupid & racist.
I have been working for the last 11 years in all kind of companies, local and foreign and I have NEVER received permission to sleep during the day.In Mexico there is no such thing as a goverment-instated nap ¬¬

Corax is the new Wraith
Back to topic:
Seriously, compare God Save the Queen to Rule Britannia, which sounds more national anthem-y? Certainly both still have their issues in contemporary civilisation, but the latter still sounds better than the former to me.

How was that in any way racist? It's a common stereotype/misconception that is akin to saying all canadians live in igloos. He wasn't making a value judgemt of you based on it, he was just making a goofy joke. To call his statemt racist is taking it way, WAY too seriously.

Also is Canada man going down to the big celebration again this year?
Have to see if his power still works.
FOR THE LOVE OF KEYTARS PLEASE GOSH YES.
Graham. I'm sure you know by this point in time that we all love you.
So PLEASE, tear off your sweater vest like Superman takes off his suit & stick that toque on.

1) This was an awesome video, with a funny buildup to a hilarious ending,
2) It's both entertaining and comforting for me to see people who like their country enough to be able to poke fun at it,
3) We care about LRR, and LRR cares about Canada, therefore we care about Canada, even if only at a remove,
4) This WAS a perfectly good weekly video,
5) Cram it in your noise hole, please.

Also, it's true: "The Star-Spangled Banner" does need some updating.
I couldn't manage it without a whole lot of bitterness, though. LRR seems to have some comedic anthem-taste: What do you think should be the USA's theme song?

Hooray! Happy Canada Day, dear brothers & sisters to the north. If I wasn't already stuck in Wisconsin I'd be proud to be Canadian. I also love seeing LRR's Canadian pride.
Despite the faults pointed out in the video, the Canadian national anthem is still better than the USA's. Ours is essentially two questions asking "do you see the flag?" and "is it still there?" set to the tune of a British drinking song (whose original lyrics are much better.)
I for one, salute the leader of future Pancakeland
What is this wondrous game in which you can disembowel people with a pair of pants??
Edit:
Also, Tim Hortons! I welcomed them with glowing hearts when I saw the stores while visiting Maine last year.

It's in the alpha stage, as it has been for the past four years and will probably continue to be for the foreseeable future, but it's perfectly playable - and AWESOME.
You may want to take a look at the Dwarf Fortress wiki to help you get started.
