Not too entertaining except that I think my husband is trying to kill me! ;)
It just makes for some extreme driving, especially when you live in Canada and the roads are slick, and its freezing so you're wearing mittens and you can't hold onto the wheel at all... |

hehe, I can just see it in the upcoming months:
"Next, on Forensic Files: A suspicious car accident in a Canadian McDonalds drive-through leaves a woman dead. Find out how forensic scientists solved the crime with a glove, burger grease, and a single hair. This is all coming up next on Forensic Files: McDeath."

mmmmmm!, McDeath Triple McMadcow, side of Vegan Beef-Juice fries pleez. 
Glad you're ok. Yes ArmorAll is an evil chemical - once it is used, whatever you have sprayed it on needs a constant renewal of the stuff, otherwise it begins a steady decline in appearance and molecular structure - not to mention the fact that it's slippery as hell! tried to find out once, but I'm not sure if it can be removed....at all.

Armorall is the heroin of the automotive protectant world. Not only that, but it's a gateway cleaner to the really hard stuff like turtle wax and rain-x. Seriously. Don't start.

It's much safer to adopt my policy of automotive protection - never clean your car at all. I swear there are some germinating potatoes in the rear of my Volvo. I also know that the brake dust permanently sat on the front alloys irritates the hell out of a lot of people.
Saying that, my wife takes the car through the car wash occasionally. Very weak willed of her really.

Geez you're quick.
Well kind of, but it was whitewashed for reasons that have to do with Canadians, fire and a little thing called the war of 1812. Go look it up.

Either way, its an interesting story,
that I'm sure they don't teach in history classes.
Just saying, we all don't talk like that.
Lets ask chos, she lives more east (easter?),
who actually says aboot?

no, south park didn't start it. I used to watch Degrassi Jr. High, so I know it's true. Not to mention "Strange Brew"

Aboot is definitely an Eastern thing, as will be just about any "strange" speech characteristic attributed to Canadians. As an innocent, alienated Western Canadian prairie boy, I used to be self-conscious aboot it, but working with many Easterners got me over that. Some guy at the bar explained to me his theory once that the farther east in Canada an English speaker goes, the more difficult it becomes to communicate. So where I'm at we're still pretty easy to follow, but going east...Quebec's tough because they speak so much French, but that's nothing compared to the Maritimes.
Honestly though, I don't buy any of this, I'm just demonstrating stereotypes. Regional dialects and linguistic oddities exist everywhere, some just get more attention than others by chance.
Nothing is ever something. |

I was in Edmonton a couple of years ago...so of course I went to the West Edmonton Mall. I had bought a Pixies cd there and was sitting on a bench waiting for my dad to get done in the store..well there was a bag full of cds just sitting next to me on the bench...and no one was around...then this guy came over and took them and was like "I shouldn't have done that, it could have been bad, eh?"
and that's the first time I had ever heard an authentic Canadian "eh"...it was beautiful...I need to wipe away my tears now, I'm sorry...it just gets me everytime..right in the heart...oh my...

I once was on a school trip and a guard at the CN tower parking lot give me 5 whole Canadian dollars to go get her a coke at the concession stand inside the tower. She said aboot and eh. So trusting of a 12 year old American boy(as I was then and still am, in a sense, to this very day). I was stunned by her dialect and trust. I will leave it to speculation how I behaved, given this ripe opportunity. Maybe I got the coke, maybe I was a thieving bastard.

| I have never met anyone who says "aboot". That being said, Crispy is right. There are regional dilaects from nearly every region of the world. Southern accents aren't considerered "Amercian" accents. If there are some groups of Canadians (who clearly aren't very bright) who say "aboot", I'd rather not have that attributed to my entire country. |
