The full post and comments are here but the short version is that I inadverntly dissed my web-friend Jeremy by adding a vowel to his name.

Which, upon deeper thinking, you’d guess that the Canadians would be okay with that. I mean look at every one of there state names. It’s close to every other letter is a vowel….

Ottawa, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Quebec…see what I mean?

But the most astounding comment from Jer was this:

the rest of canada is pretty excited, though. all three of our major sports networks switched over to wall-to-wall coverage from 10 am onward today…. im not kidding. osama bin laden could have attacked ottawa today and the country would have paid more attention to hockey.

Why would anyone want to attack Ottawa?

If it was attacked, would it be worth the manpower, headache, and Starbucks to get it back?

Why would anyone want to attack Canada for that matter?

How bored are the Canadians if they are watching press conferences about hockey all day long?

Inquiring minds want to know…
