thats pretty funny, although that map with "soy sauce" for Vancouver is really rude and racist. I know its humour, but not really called for :?

I think you might be jumping to conclusions. I think since the map was scribbled on a piece of paper that the soy sauce stain is just that, a stain, and not a reference to Vancouver.

Why would you stop at Buffalo when North Tonawanda is so close... I mean that'd be like invading Grenoble and then NOT taking Paris!

Uh, yes, Tonawanda.... reminds me of that "write your own lyrics" going on right now....

For some time I've sung the words to Dylan's "Mississippi" as:
"Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay,
They say that you can come back, but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Tonawanda just a day too long."

You think? Maybe you are right. I am still not too sure...

Would anyone be offended if I used that pic of City Hall with the Canadian flag on it as my avatar? I friggin love it!

i would not be offended i found it quite humorous. Also, the diagram is written on a restaurant place mat, thats what there is soy sauce on it. I do find myself wondering why Soy sauce would offend vancouver? anyone care to enlighten me?

And Detroit was once taken over by a bunch of Native and Miltia men from Canada. And IIRC, In a 'round about way, we gave Mo-Town back in exchange for an American withdrawl from Toronto... Why can't we all just get along.

Vancouver has a high concentration of Asians - at least relative to other major urban Canadian centres. Though, I'm not exactly sure how the Soy could be deemed as offensive. Maybe I'm missing something.

I was under the impression that the metro Toronto area had the highest concentration of Asians among Canadian cities?

Toronto might have the higher pure number, but per-capita, Vancouver has Toronto beat.
