"word that rhymes with duck" New edition of Canadian Press handbook includes "infamous four letter word".

But the CBC apparently won't use it.

What a stroke of bad luck for the country of the puck.

I mean, it must really suck to be mired in all that muck.

Country of the puck? But their national sport is lacrosse! (Thank you, Trivial Pursuit.)

It's a shame that Canada's nat'l sport is lax, and Maryland's state sport is jousting. It should be the other way 'round.

Ooh, push that "politeness" thing into full-on chivalric code?

I can't wait to slap Bush with my gauntlet. Or whatever is to hand.

Yep, throwing down old-style. It would also be cool to see my favorite Canadians (where is that old Famous Canucks thread when you need it?) poking one another with lances.

Plus whacking each other with swords upon dismount.

True tangent: I am registering for "chivalric sword handling" this fall at the local CC. (which makes me wonder what unchivalric sword handling is like -- bashing someone with the hilt when they're not looking?)

And I have been victim to a nasty go-cart jousting incident. Still have the scar.

Meh. I don't need any more letters after my name.

Fun, however, is often in short supply. Nothing like having people try to cut your head off whilst singing the Highlander theme.
