- I’ve done it (blogged, Mom…) in a toque.
- I will always have a secret crush on Ron McLean.
- 10% of my posts are about the weather.

- I know better than to watch Showcase after 11 pm on a Friday.
- I understand the Canadian Ratio ™: the colder the city, the bigger the malls.
- I know that the “double double” is not a sexual position.
- I know what to do when someone yells “Car!”
- 40% more “u”s in every post.

Am I still a Canadian blogger if I’ve never done it in a toque? Or does knowing what a toque is and how to spell it make up for that? What about if NONE of my posts are about hockey? If I’m a toque-less non-hockey fan… what AM I?! Can I be from the Mediterranean? Will my real parents come and get me, then… take me back to a lovely, warm, hockey-less, toque-less clime? Please, Please, let me be Mediterranean! Spain… Italy… France… Morocco…

Here you’d get a Tim Horton’s coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars.

Looking at this list, I can tell I am definitely NOT a Canadian blogger.

Does “toque” have something to do with narcotics?
