OK then. O canada..... whatever the words are. I loved what you did to the "posh-school girls" at the street corner. Gosh, i would have loved to have been there for that, you really need to come to my school and give some of the girls "the librarian look". My mother is now torturing me by watching this "Monk" show. It scares the living daylights out of me. The guy is a dectective and had OCD. They are trying to solve a homocide... ugh it CREEPS me out... my mother loves it and watching my cringe.
