Headline had me laughing so hard, my coffee went down the wrong way and it took 15 minutes to set it right. Brilliant.

... 'cause they're just not polite enuf to be canucks?

bark_atda_moon		2006-05-26 01:31:52 PM

Only 1% of them were Hummel...

ubermensch		2006-05-26 01:32:15 PM

Huzzah! on the headline

Pam EL		2006-05-26 01:32:18 PM

Wow. That headline has layers and layers. Great stuff!

/golf clap, submitter

Great headline, and already great comments.

Don't forget the "Showing Some Class."

You shouldn't try to pronounce it with your mouth full....

I farking hate it when people list a city followed by a country. There's a province in there, buddy. I don't say I'm from Orlando, USA.

Egads; Canada's biker problem is really getting out of hand. There was a full-on massacre about a month ago in Ontario.

I bet Reid Fleming could straighten this all out.

artman		2006-05-26 01:45:19 PM

Everybody knows that the Hell Angels have turned to antique stores to connect with other like-minded bikers.

//so passe

And while the Canuck Hell's Angels open up curio shops, their Scandinavian counterparts are Blowing eachother up with mortars and machine guns.

Guy Ouellette, a retired biker gang cop from Quebec

Huh, I learn something new every day. I didn't know there were such things as biker gang cops. I didn't even know biker gangs hired cops. Shoot, I always thought they were on opposite ends of things.

I can see someone talking to their career counselor: "I want to be a cop. Not just a regular cop, I want to be a Biker Gang Cop! I love biker gangs, motorcycles, loose womens, and cops. So I want to be a Biker Gang Cop!"

and LOL @ Beemer!

josephstalin		2006-05-26 01:48:29 PM

I love Hummels.

diplomaticimmunity		2006-05-26 01:49:33 PM

I think Ten Years Ago deserves a "were" in that sentence...

Submitter obviously figured that more Farkers would be able to ken 'Canada' than 'PEI' or 'Prince Edward Island'. Besides, the city-country thing has more than a few precedents: Paris, France, or Sydney, Australia, or London, England... *

... ok, maybe Charlottetown, Canada doesn't belong on the same list...

//NOT the one in New Jersey

fatal_exception		2006-05-26 01:53:18 PM

Don't really want to spoil Beemer's accolades but I kinda thought the joke was already there in blueswoman's post.

Maybe an explanation was necessary for some?

MachuPichu		2006-05-26 01:54:28 PM

Woohoo! At last my hometown makes the Fark!

Adman12		2006-05-26 01:56:37 PM

kellynoel: I farking hate it when people list a city followed by a country. There's a province in there, buddy.

A very small province, though. I love PEI, but I think it should be annexed by New Brunswick. The Newbies could use the tourism dollars and the "oilanders" could use...

well...

I guess they've already got a four-lane highway that gets the "taurists" through NB as fast as possible, don't they?

(Relax, Maritimers. I'm actually a big fan of the east.)

AliasUndercover		2006-05-26 01:57:38 PM

Somebody PLEASE 'shop up some biker Hummels.

elendilmir		2006-05-26 01:58:23 PM

For Gods sake can we have that Hells Angels hummels photoshop?

/Please?

CanuckGuy		2006-05-26 01:58:41 PM

Our biker gangs already went through that faze. The Hell's Angels blew the hell out of Montreal a while back in a turf war with "the Rock Machine". Couple of asploding cars in Ottawa ("Outlaw" territory) too. If I'm not mistaken, the Quebec Gov't actually paid to have a biker go through explosives training as part of some "helping hand" training program for ex-cons.

techmom		2006-05-26 02:01:21 PM

Adman12: 'Newbies'???!?!!!!?

/errrrm... no. No, thank you.
//(and it's pronounced 'turrists')

Troll_Master3000		2006-05-26 02:05:31 PM

Ah the Hell's Angels. Extortion and drug trafficing are a small price to pay for PR-friendly stunts and fundraisers.

Maybe we should have a Sopranos barbeque to promote the mafia's "good deeds!"

/Toronto's ex-mayor Mel Lastman loved the HAs. Bribes can do that to anyone.

My wife's family are all from Woodstock. When they say "tourists" (pronounced "two-wrists" here in Upper Canada), the "ou" sure sounds like the "au" in "taurus" to me.

StopArrestingMe		2006-05-26 02:06:27 PM

loll, getting his redwings. i got mine...on accident

cornreaper		2006-05-26 02:07:55 PM

I think the crime problem in PEI is getting out of hand. I heard that just last week, someone tied another guy's shoelaces together, who then fell down and got his Sunday shirt dirty. Just makes you shake your head.

And remember when that little red-headed girl broke her slate over a schoolmate's head? Bring back the rope! That's what I say!

Unforunately the four-lane won't be complete until 2007.

Ahh, this store is literally like 10 minutes from where I live. Never been in there, but they have (had?) a sign in the window saying "Nothing in here is worth losing your life over" (or something to that effect).

My neighbour (who is RCMP) is also on the front cover of the local paper here today...

/How much longer he'll be my neighbour is the question.

Adman12		2006-05-26 02:16:25 PM

cheezalot: Unforunately the four-lane won't be complete until 2007.

It's pretty near done though. Sure cut down the driving time from Fred to Moncton, and they didn't even end up making it toll as planned. (I go every year.)

//Now in Florenceville

Come on, "The French Fry Capital of the World" can't be all that bad, can it?

Oh no, wait... I've been there, and it is.

I didn't register florencevillesucks.com just for the hell of it.

firebush69		2006-05-26 02:21:58 PM

Submitter deserves a Pulitzer. And I guess a Peabody as well. Kudos and Huzzah!

gonk		2006-05-26 02:22:03 PM

Not a biker, but bizarre enough with no pants and a big knife... (links to larger - pops)

Isn't everything in PEI 10 minutes from where you live?

Ahh the new low has been reached. I give you

"Joke-Troll"

/Thanks for looking out for us there guy, glad that one didn't get past you.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR FARKERS:
The term "Red Wings" does not refer to hockey.

GCD		2006-05-26 02:26:56 PM

It's roughly 3 hours, tip to tip, driving non-stop.

No further than 16km from a beach is a nice bonus though.

haineux		2006-05-26 02:27:42 PM

Gee, I guess I should have mentioned that that link might offend some of youse.

so sorry!

Police used dogs during raids at suspected Hells Angels locations on Thursday.

When interviewed all the dogs could say was, " I was used man, I was used."

goobernutz		2006-05-26 02:44:53 PM

i have no idea what that headline means, but i still laughed out loud :)

LavenderWolf		2006-05-26 02:52:37 PM

Big Red Machine stores all over this area. They're all Hell's Angels. Hm.

Call me when you get blue wings.

Ric-Romero		2006-05-26 03:06:14 PM

Only solution is to nuke Canada. That, or perhaps several million hand grenades.

techmom		2006-05-26 03:19:31 PM

Adman12: Woodstock? Might explain it - I grew up in the Miramichi area, with exposure to all the little ~~French~~ Acadian communities along the North Shore. I'm just used to a bit more of an accent, me.

:)

/also - two-wrists? interesting...
