Filed under: stuff — meg @ 1:48 am
  1. I’ve done it (blogged, Mom…) in a toque.
  2. I will always have a secret crush on Ron McLean.
  3. 10% of my posts are about the weather.
  4. 10% of my posts are about hockey.
  5. I know better than to watch Showcase after 11 pm on a Friday.
  6. I understand the Canadian Ratio ™: the colder the city, the bigger the malls.
  7. I know that the “double double” is not a sexual position.
  8. I know what to do when someone yells “Car!”
  9. 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…

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

    Does “toque” have something to do with narcotics?
