In Honor Of Canada Day

This evening I received a message from Hekler. The message was a quasi well wish that said “ Happy Canada Day.”

I am not Canadian but if he’s happy then that’s great. There are some famous and familiar people that have come from Canada that I admire. Dan Akroyd, John Candy, Phil Hartman, Kim Cattrall and Neil Young to name a few.

Some of the memes that Hekler sent along with the greeting has me wanting to defect. But chances are I would probably wind up in a trailer park around Nova Scotia. Still, it’s tempting.

But I’m puzzled by the strange remarks that were also made by Hekler.

He mentioned something about going to Tim Hortons ( have no idea who he is ) and participating in some sort of contest they call “ Roll Up The Rim.” ( have no idea what this is either) I immediately thought that it was a strange custom and was figuring out a way to tell Hekler that I am heterosexual when I continued to read.

He went on to say that he rolled up the rim of his coffee and started yelling, “I’ve won a motor home! I’ve won a motorhome!”( ???) Again, this makes no sense to me, I’m not Canadian. The girl at the counter said, “That’s impossible. The biggest prize is a car.”

“No, it’s not a mistake. I’ve won a motorhome!” He handed the Cup to the girl and said, “look, it says right here, “W I N A B A G E L”.”

Well, I’m sure that when Hekler wakes up after celebrating Canada’s holiday he’ll be in better shape and can offer a better explanation to this unique, albeit unusual custom.

I believe that Canada’s National Bird is The Loon for a reason.
