Purps Does 'Couver

[Zemalac]

Right. Here's what you need to do.

Get a motorcycle, first of all, painted black with flames. Then, while wearing your '30s mobster outfit (from the "Pics" thread, I'm assuming you still have it) drive the motorcycle off one of those modern drawbridges while it's being pulled up to let a ship through. And the bridge has to be on fire, and you have to be filming it. Then post that shit right up here.

I have no idea what that has to do with Canada or Vancouver, or if it is even physically possible, but damn if it wouldn't be cool.

 

[Hey Joe]

Somewhere in Canada, Larenxis felt as if a million voices cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.

I dare you to mime on the streets on Vancouver.

Do you need to say "Zed" because that's how the French pronounce it?

No, I just mentioned it because I think its a Canadian military thing. Mckay does it on Stargate Atlantis, so I figured it would work for this too.

Actually, my fellow Stargater (that sounded corny), "zed" is just how we (Canadians) say it, although the American "zee" seems to be creeping into our vocabulary the same way "feet" and "yards" did (you silly Americans and your silly measurements.)

And for the record, ZedPM sounds better than ZeePM.

 

[PurpleRain]

pix or it didnt happen! no seriously, for all these dares etc. we need pix purps. plz!!

Don't worry, many pix to be shared.

say you're looking for someone, and hold up a postcard of the south park Celine Dion

That's far too insane. I don't want to get booted out before my time.

I'm not sure if I will be able to do that, but I think that's a mission right there!

Done and done. Maybe stick my hat down a make a few dollars... or not.

Miles? What's with that?
No offence to this argument, but in Australia we seem to say Zed, and sometimes Zee if we're game. So I might not see the benifit for flouting around my Zee's and Zed. Anyway, Zed's dead baby. Zed's dead.

can you get a picture of yourself near niagra falls? or is that too far?

A bit far. As far as I see, I'm only staying around the city, maybe venturing outside the limits every so often.

 

[Labyrinth]

Try Airsoft, at least once. I'm not sure if you'll be able to afford it, but it's worth a go.

Oh, and get a plushy Moose on a wire which you can walk around.

 

[shatnershaman]

If you really want to insult a Canadian ask why all the CFL teams are named "roughriders".

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

When are you leaving? and what are the costs looking like? I have 2 months and will jsut walk out the door at work. CANADAAA

 

[jim_doki]

every meal must include either: a pork product of some kind, or maple syrup

Ooh, good idea. And what's Airsoft?

I'm leaving tomorrow, arriving Tuesday (which is the same day?! Time travel people!). I'll be leaving Canada the 26th of Jan. I think as it ducks off from peak season, all flight costs go down dramaticlly.

Maple syrup on everything? I don't know, maybe I'll eat it with something obsucre just for you. Maple syrup hotdogs.

Airsoft is basically paintball, but instead of guns which shoot paintballs, they shoot little plastic pellets that sting really bad when they hit you. It's more fun then I'm making it sound. btw, since when is that just a Canadian thing? I live in New Jersey and play it quite a bit.

The distance between vancouver and niagra falls is about equal to going from one end of europe to the other.

My dare: Dress in liederhousen [http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/screenshots/german.jpg], put on a Germanic/Scandinavian accent & insist on telling every Canadian you meet that you sympathize because as a Danish person, no one knows where your country is either.

 

[Phantom2595]

Isn't Vancouver that city with the really poor part of town with all the drugs?

Hmm, anyone know where exactly the 2010 Olympics are going to be? I think it would be a great photo to have when the Olympics come by. You could show your friends that picture you took of when they were making all the venues etc.

Yea, that's kinda sad. It's the second largest country on the world. When you look at the map the first thing you usually notice is either Canada, Russia or America.

All cities are like that.

I dare you to go to a pro-coalition rally and convince them to start a war with the anti-coalition rally across the street.

 

[the monopoly guy]

Airsoft is like paintball, but intead the guns shoot little plastic BBs. It's cheaper then paintball.


I didn't know Airsoft was associated with Canada.

I'm sure they will be meking fun of your speech then you will their's.

There will be rallies. For who's side, I need to swash up a bit first.

Also, it's Downtown Eastside. And yeah, I'll be solidering through there.
