Viva le Difference

     Yesterday, when the Junior Loin Fruit came home from school, he noted that I was watching some sort of law enforcement reality show. Go figure. I don't recall which one it was. Border Security, Rocky Mountain Cops or maybe it was Good Ole Ass Stompin' Southern Justice. Doesn't matter except there is a difference between those produced in Canada and those filmed south of the 49th. Especially, those filmed well below the 49th.

     So, on the screen was a shirtless individual who was being forced to the ground by three burly Boyz n Blue. There was a lot of calls of "Stop Resistin me!" Which is rather funny, as it would be virtually impossible for this 160 lb meth addict to resist the wishes of three 250+ lb armed cops.

     "Why are those cops pinning down that guy?"

     "Because he could be armed."

     "Do the police do that in Canada?"

     "No, because people in Canada are not usually carrying a gun where as below the 49th you can expect drivers to be armed."

     Thank GOD I live in Canada!

     On another note...I was out in the Wild Wild West today and I stopped at a favourite watering hole - The Cumberland Grind. The place has been rebuilt with new patio doors that actually stay closed and two new decks. I indulged myself with a Vampires Kiss. A mocha with raspberry flavoring and cayenne pepper (three shakes please).
