I am feeling much better today, still a little weak and achy, but the stomach seems to be holding food in.

I was listening to John Gormley this morning and they were saying that Corner Gas has been picked up by an American satellite station. I wonder if the Americans will find it as funny as we do. Obviously there are some things they won't understand (ie The Littlest Hobo episode for one), but I think overall it's a fairly funny show, even without the Canadian humour. They were also mentioning one of Weird Al's new songs called Canadian Idiot. Apparently some Canadians are pretty mad about it. I just don't get it, that guy makes fun of everyone. I consider it a complement to be insulted by Weird Al, haha. But really, it's kind of a funny song, I don't find it terribly offensive. And if these people who are so easily offended would keep listening to the Weird Al album, they would realize that most of his other songs make fun of people.

Here are the lyrics for Canadian Idiot:

Don't wanna be a Canadian Idiot
Don't wanna be some beer-swillin' hockey nut
And do I look like some frost-bitten hose head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed

They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they all leave the house without packin' heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid monopoly money
Can't take 'em seriously at all

Well, maple syrup and snow's what they export
They treat curling just like it's a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can't understand a thing they're talking a-boot

Sure, they got their national health care
Cheaper meds for prime rates and clean air
Then again, well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of driving a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan

Don't wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won't figure out the temperature in Celcius
See the map, they're hoverin' right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous

Always hear the same kind of story
Break your nose and they'll just say "Sorry"
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
It's gotta be they're all up to something
So, quick, before they see it coming
Time for a preemptive strike
