@roger,
Luckily, there is much good scotch out there. Expensive now, eh?

@ossobuco,
Imported.

The best is from the Old Country, just as the finest looking Labs are.

@Finn dAbuzz,
You mean, not all Scotch is Scottish?

@SimonFarquharson,
Hey there (he's dan-e's brother to anyone who remembers dan-e)!

Yeah, this post is likely just trolling (especially when you consider that his other post is about invading Mexico) but I think most people here know that and are just not rising to the bait.

@SimonFarquharson,
There actaully are some people (most of them elderly) in Canada who do believe that the United States wishes to annex Canada. However, i'd say most of the responses here were derision, and conditioned a great deal by the OP's other threads.

@Setanta,
Believe that the USA "wishes" perhaps, but I have never met one that believes that the USA will, much less should.

@SimonFarquharson,
Although i agree that it is farfetched, i will point out to you that your having never met anyone who believes that does not constitute evidence of anything.

@SimonFarquharson,
Check out UEL country sometime. You'll still find a few ancients that think it is on the U.S. agenda. They're still fighting the War of 1812. Not a lot of them left, but they see a reason for those Martello towers.

It's hard to keep a straight face around them.

This is a point of agreement, says the Talisker fan, just to name one.

That sent me on a very interesting search. I'll have to check those out
next time I'm up your way.

When I visited the Citadel at Halifax, there was a display showing how the
fort would have been used to resist a U.S. invasion in the 1860s. You guys
won.

@George,
Are you aware that Canada was invaded in the 1860s? Do a search for "Fenian invasion+Ridgeway."

Yes, I remember your writing about that once.

I also know that the U.S. was invaded from Canada (though not by Canada)
in the 1860s (the St. Albans raid).
