Oh comon, don't start that lame shit, I didn't do a thread on June 24th for a reason, I don't want to piss off people. I didn't think Canadians would do it but I was sure we'd get that overly patriotic CRAP from americans on July 4th. images/smilies/thumbdown.gif


Giving us a holiday is the only thing Canada is good for, but I never work on fridays so... images/smilies/yucky.gif (for those who can't read, yes this is me being sarcastic, I do like Canada)


well you asked for it anyway so...

Ren, you still get paid for the day off according to the new labor laws if you have been part of the pay roll long enough (unsure about you but ask your human ressources dept.).
And about the St-Jean Baptiste vs. Confederation comparison: images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Yeah, great day. Almost got side swiped by a drunk Canadian when he ran the red light and I was going through a green light.

Yeah, I hate the holidays. If they could abolish them then that would be great.

Yes but I haven't been working for long enough to get paid.

And what's the problem with my comparision? La St-Jean Baptiste is the exact same thing as Confederation for Canada, altough it doesn't have the same political background since it's not the day we became free from Canada since that didn't happen yet.

Yeah, I'd stick with the Roman filter. [sarcasm]I'm afraid the 'automated Renesis filter' isn't a filter at all, but more of an automated post deleter images/smilies/eek.gif[/sarcasm]

Ren doesn't delete posts that I know of.

He and I don't agree on a bunch of things and he never even edited one of my posts so that comment of yours earns you another one of these: images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

And if anyone of Y'all think I am not playing nice, I can make my comments a lot more explicit and then they'll know I was playing nice before, huh Cruzz ? images/smilies/wink.gif
