   Come now.  La Crosse is much more masculine than hockey.
   
   Except for the name, of course.

   I think it’s Peart, and you’re right, of course.

   Sure. Peart.  Pert is the shampoo.  AND IT IS THE GREATEST SHAMPOO EVER!

   Jeez, you keep misspelling Geddy Lee’s name and you’re going to start some sort of international incident, Scott.

   I actually know a few Quebecois who love baseball. 

   Now I just don’t know if baseball’s got a bigger following in Quebec (or Canada) than it’s generally given credit for, or if I’ve self-selected my friends to be baseball-lovers (as I, myself, am), and so aren’t representative of the country as a whole.  Which is quite possible, but unfortunate.

   They still hate George Bush, although I’m constantly working on them.  Incidentally, the last time I was up there, I asked one of my friend’s family why he everyone in Canada seems to hate George Bush and dislike America so much.  Immediately, he says: “Jealousy.  Plain and simple.  America has everything we wish we had.” In French, of course.

    I have been to La Crosse, my friends, and it’s no more masculine than the next Wisconsin town, like Chippewa Falls.

    Now up the road a piece, Fountain City.  WHERE A MAN CAN BE A MAN!

    Beware offending the WiscAHHHHHHnsonites; we’ve got accents almost as funny as Canadians.

    Wisconsinites? At least Canadians only wear dead animals on their heads.

    Giant plastic wedges of Swiss cheese? That’s not a hat, it’s a … a …

    It’s bait for giant, abysmally stupid mice who can’t tell plastic from real cheese, okay? And wearing that on your head is just begging a giant stupid mouse to bite your head off.

    And who wants that?

    Plus the state of Wisconsin down through Chicago is a unique part of the world where “car” is a two syllable word.
