Clennel,
problems on your side of the Ottawa river :
"Poutine" comes from the English word "Pudding"
Besides being a dish based on French fries, it has
many other meanings in our slang like :
Parle-moi d'une "crisse de poutine"=
What a hell of a "f.... up".
As for separating, it is just a matter of time,
like good wine and good cheese.
Later,
"Ils sont fous ces quebecois"
"They are insane these quebekers"
"Están locos estos quebequeses"

Kelly: Before you go blaming Canada, for the record "poutine" is the
invention of our french province of Quebec. The same province that threatens
to seperate from Canada. I keep hoping they will, so it will be a shorter
drive to the The Maritime provinces (put that one on your kids homeschooling
geography exam). The Quebeckers have sent out poutine to kill we
Anglophones. We don't eat it, we just serve it up to the Americans. Just
kidding darling- if I could I'd have kidnapped ya and kept ya here. We need
good artists with smart mouths- did I say that?
The sunsets between Port Elgin and Sauble Falls on the shores of Lake Huron
are reported by National Geographic photographers to be the best in the
world. So glad you enjoyed one. BTW Mark Kellner unless he bought a hearing
aid can't hear a damn thing. Glad he is going to a workshop in Ann Arbour.
His work although technically sound is stuck in a time warp.
Welcome home! If ya ain't eating poutine on the Bruce, you're eating morning
doves in Michigan.
Cheers,
Tony
