Good people of Canada!

Post by One-Eye »

It has come to my attention that the little man on the "walk" signals that permeate your fine country are highly disproportionate. They have puny little arms and one leg is very much shorter than the other. Does this not bother you? Have you not considered contacting your local governmental authority to have this changed? Obviously, it is sending out the message that all Canadians (or at least all Canadian pedestrians) are peg-legged Mongoloids! I have seen several Canadians in my time, and very few of them fit this description! I am appalled!

They aren't only in Canada anymurr.....our city got them now. Along w/ the lovely digital timers that tell ya how much time you have to cross the street. Sadly, there are agile people here in town that seem to not make it across in that time...

Should be open points when that timer hits zero....I show no remourse.

Well, we have walk signals here, too, but they're proportionate!

American walk signal:

Canadian walk signal:

He's doing some weird high-kick thing, like he's about to pirouette across the street... very disturbing...

OOoh ok got cha.....yeah, we got the one above not below so I can see where the Canadian one is kinda odd.

Actually we have this lady who has nothing better to do than go around to businesses and such to take pop cans and take them up to our local grocery store for money. Its quite disturbing...

Then if ya bother her.....she passes out, pretends a seizure, and then pisses on the floor, its sickening. Enough info for ya?

She just got arrested 2 days ago for pulling the crap in a different city.....they weren't aware of her oddities, and then had an ambulance come get her, and she was freakin out on the hospital crew, so "the man" came and picked her up and charged her with disorderly conduct...

I think what you all want to say is.............anyways

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Eh......good point, guess I need to ask the blind guy I see walkin around a lot.

I'll get back to ya on that...

I wouldn't call it a race, more ur less "survivor - midtown traffic" perhaps.
