Why was Open Salon Down for Maintenance ? Blame Canada !

Rate: 35 Flag

can

 

What does anyone in US power do when they want to blame someone for terrorists  slipping through the borders?

Who does a lot of the US population think is funny?

Open Salon has been broken for the last few days. Who should we blame?

As the animated series South Park says,

"Blame Canada !"

Okay I am Canadian, and I will take the full brunt of all complaints. Open Salon is/was broken, and yes, it's all my fault.

You see, Open Salon went down for maintenance because:

The Canadian Beavers running half of Open Salon became frustrated. They  went  'aboot and beyond', but the American Gerbils on the other half of  Open Salon were not pulling their weight. So the Beavers did a very uncanadian  thing.

paw

 

They gave them the red and white maple leaf  finger and left.  Yes, they will not be bringing the Gerbils Tim Horton's Double Double Coffee for  breakfast tomorrow.


No Timbits either eh?

Yes, in defiance they  left in semi polite anger,  listening to the Tragically
Hip in their car.

Of course they had to stop at the Royal Bank on the way home. Yes, the bank that has no security guards, door are wide open, but they chain the  pens to the counters.

Then after the banking was done they went to The Beer Store and picked  up a "2-4" of Molson Canadian to go with their Kraft dinner.

Any beer  under 6% is for the sick and elderly.

Brian B, Catherine Forsythe (honourable Canadian), Scarlett Sumac, Myriad, Boanerges Redux  told the  Beavers they did a good thing. You can be Canadian and polite, but letting others run over you like a Zamboni is not cool.

After all, we are a proud nation.

Yes, a proud nation indeed, and thanking people, no matter what the situation, is a Canadian tradition. So, I have one thing to say.

Thank you Open Salon for being broken. It was our fault.

I will send the Beavers back tomorrow.

That video is super crazy! Loved it!
Yay, I have headphones so now I can watch them and not bother others.
Best Wishes,
Blittie
Blittie.. it is my fave video.
I don't normally post twice in one day.. But I was PO'ed hahaha
I can trace most of the trouble I've had in my life to Beavers, of all sizes!
Glad to see that apparently no Beavers were harmed in the making of either the video or this post. Do beavers ever cross the road? Not by a dam site.
Not so, Linda! Not so! I would never do that. Several of my acquaintances here are Canadian. In fact just last evening I was on the patio with two.

In this case, though, they were Québécoises. So they would probably blame you, too.
Yeah Scanner , Canada is the only place that news anchors can say the word 'beaver' and no one gets upset hahaha
We are dangerously close to war here, you know...
Brassawe,
Je suis Québécoise aussi.:)
Now translate that with a Margarita :)
Matt, and which border are you going to run to??:)
I didn't want to say anything but it was because I wasn't here. Open's servers were like, "Oh no, where's Tink? I bet he's never coming back....I'LL MISS HIS WONDERFUL WIT!!" And they began to shut down.

But now that I'm back, the servers are like, "Oh man, I'm glad he's back, I wish Ed would give him a Pick or something to keep him happy..."

;D

Sorry, I was drinking my cheap Canadian beer while listening to the sounds of Mexico on my new CD, Sounds of Mexico!! :)
Yes, it was my fault too.:)
... suddenly, I have the urge to shoot a hockey puck and clobber someone over the head with a hockey stick. I'll sit for a few minutes - like a two minute time-out. A good donut would help settle the nerves though.
I blame Canada for doing everything we do, but with more class and much better looking people. Even your beavers are cuter. Foff Linda!
Shucks Ma'm, je fais seulement mon travail
I KNEW it was your fault! As soon as I saw those pages were not loading I said out loud, "Damn that Linda!" By the way, I made your apple crisp last night and it is out of this world! So, I'll forgive you from breaking OS. But I'm still suspicious of Canada:)
"Any beer under 6% is for the sick and elderly." love how you threw that in there....r
Ole Tink... cheap Canadian beer and Mexican music. How American of you hahahahaha
Catherine, go get one of those Tim Horton's Cheese bagels for me hahaha
oryoki.. you should have a beavertail..
No its not meat its like a funnel cake..
Wish I cold eat them
Token.. are you like bilingual?
and I know you are only doing your job..:)
Je suis fier d'être Québecoise (Canadienne-Turque)! :o)
R
Susan.. that apple crisp is amazing.. I am going to do Nanaimo Bars this week I think
Hugs, I do not drink beer but the baby duck wine is nice hahaha
The Beer Store. Yes. Best thing about Canada, eh?
Merci Fusun,
Je suis fiere aussi.
Yes david, the Beer store and LCBO.
Canadians are not allowed to buy their beer in grocery stores.:)
Ha. Thanks for the comic, cosmic relief, OS is a world all of its own, Canada, a fine country, no more dust ups allowed among friends...Ha. R
I pretend to know French using High school French and 10 years of associating with Cajuns. I once monitored a debate between a Cajun Clerk of Court and a Quebecois HP technician about who was actually speaking French.
I can usually read French, but I can't keep up with an angry Clerk of Court.
Sorry, can't post...laughing too hard...at Scanner's comment!
Sheila, I was frustrated today with OS. Still have not done my blog for tomorrow hahaha. so I had fun
Token I wish you had taken video. You see in Quebec we learn 'joal' which is like frenenglish..:)
all these english words mixed with french. They can tell in a heart beat anyone that speaks french in the US that I am from Quebec.
I guess its like the cajun court guy hahaha
marsha marsha marsha.. you are such a dirty girl hahaha
Gordon, grumble back to ya
Kate..:) you are a funny girl and this is as close to drunk blogging as I get.. which I have not done..
Dam Beavers. gettin in the way of my posting...
ask me I am so sorry, we will have them back tomorrow.
I agree it was just frustrating
I know, I'm so American, I just got done singing 'Ode to Norway, my ole whaling home...'

What? No, I haven't been drinking yet!! :D
and here I thought the beavers gnawed through the cables...

(running joke with a friend who hated my office relocation 4 years ago was "that building has Really Big Rats". Now whenever the computers crash, power fails or internet disrupted, its because the rats gnawed through a cable).
Tink.. someday there should be a communit drunk blog hahaha

Brian.. those rats are that big?
I had a mouse gnaw through wires in this old house years ago. Burnt the house almost down.
Darn rodents.
Inquisitive,... I snuck in through your open canadian door and took it hahaha
I think it was sabotage because you outed American Idol as a terrorist sleeper cell.
When Tim Horton's start infiltrating we'll know we're in serious trouble.
Cranky, always so darn clever
Enemy, Tim Horton's is like crack. It will infiltrate soon..:)
is that one of the beavers from da Soo; eh?
yeah the yanks and fudgies blame us for everything; eh?
wschanz.. nope not from da soo. Actually from lanark county where they drove der car up da line.
Yep they took der 2-4 and drove up da line.
They are going back to work as they do not want to collect pogey eh?
Great video; great beavers!
LOL you go Brad..
I see we are having OS troubles again.. sighh
I call for a 3am maintenance.:)
I think it's that one beaver - a great beaver, mind you - but probably one they had to shut down the system to keep us from seeing.
Okay Brad, you are talking about the beaver that walks around in the Darth Vader costume?
Linda: Your beaver looked very tan... but... ummm... I am very concerned (really)... that it made it off the road... and ummm... into the woods... fait divers::~R
I understand the Beavers' frustrations, but depriving the gerbils of their usual double-double and Timbits -- could it be a step too far?

And as someone who just drove from the Rockies to Ottawa, I can attest that apparently one out of every two establishments in the country really does appear to be named after either Beaver or Moose.
I am Canadian also and was raised to believe that we were so much better than Americans. I have lived in the States for 36 years so now I know it is not only right but justified in blaming Canada eh? Loved the video and loved the South Park movie. No hard feelings, Linda because I loved your story, maybe I'm getting too serious here, but I do get tired of my Canadian family and friends doing the one uppers. -R-
I loved all the talking animal videos. They should definitely be in charge of OS.
Since most of OS is Canadian, I'll buy that.
Oh, that video is hilarious, woman!
So Earl and Fiona and Gaston were your fault, too! You're commandeering my Caribbean waters, you!!
I would be proud of such an accomplishment.Said with love for all things Canadian.
"And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever
And flourish green for freedom's home

The Maple Leaf Forever."

Amen.
I was no where near the crime scene. Promise.
Inverted, I swear I make the sign of the cross for every roadkill I see. I think he made it.

Various.. since I do not drink coffee I had to ask my sons what a double double was and he rolled his eyes.

Christine.. this is the first time I have heard of Canadai one uppers.. that makes me sad..:(
Zanelle.. animals for president
Kathy, I had no diea.
Vanessa, glad to hear PR is okay
Romantic, since I am half american.. I go both ways haha
Boanerges.. make me cry will ya
Scarlett.. I can vouch for you being no where near the crime scene..:)
I am madly and painfully in love with the second image. With his leaf, no less. I am crushiiiiiiing.
Anyway, Linda, OK then.

Cute tags too. OS should be for releasing frustrations sometimes.
Fernsy, I loved him too..:)
