Canadian bacon is a more neatly trimmed version of British bacon; the meat is from the main back muscle (loin). Ham is basically the pig's butt and US bacon is from the belly. (Pigology, 201)

Ok. Now I'm oddly aroused.
It's the hose
Must be. All I need is Larry, Cate, and a hose.
Umm, Mal. Larry IS the hose.
Well......? :roll:

You know a hose that has just been lying around and not used usually starts rotting from the inside-out. This frequently happens in colder climates. The owner goes to use it and after a little pressure is applied it develops a bulge and then just explodes leaving a hole that was not there before. Repairs are useless. Unless the hose has been used and stored properly (even a high dollar one) it is usually best to get a cheaper one and use it for all it is worth, then go get another when it starts to show overuse.

The only government officials I have annoyed in Canada were Customs and Immigration, and the Premier of Manitoba...

That, Maxwell Smart, I would NOT believe! Even Troy must have committed some egregious offense here once when visiting his parents, necessitating incarceration!

Only temporary.

No, when your hose has seen better days its best to only use it when your alone and nobody sees you using it. :lol:

Never have met Larry, but, I somehow don't think he is a very active gardener from what everyone says.

It also doesn't get cured in the same way as regular bacon thereby retaining more of its original "ham" flavor.

Impressive!! Are you a Meatologist?
I do have an academic background in Meatology, and actually did extensive ethnographic fieldwork among the Canadians, which also involved consuming great quantities of Canadian beer.

Cheers.
Yup. And that's why Porkin's bought it so early. Right?

Chowin' down rather than payin' attention to the battle 'eh?

Strange Brew was a better movie than Canadian Bacon, even though the latter had the late lamented John Candy in it.

Little known fact: Porkins survived the battle to destroy the Death Star, unbeknownst to his Rebel comrades. He was propelled via interdimensional time warp to 20th century Earth, where he enjoys the local beer and flies what he calls "barges full of SLF (self-loading freight)" at speeds much slower than he was used to in a previous existence. :wink:

Cheers.

John Candy didn't even have to say anything to make me laugh. He was genius.

I have never seen so many "steretypical Canadian jokes in one place"!!

Hey, we Canadians are so laid back we rarely take credit for anything...like Lacrosse...like Ice Hockey...but Canadian back bacon is as Canadian as "Garth and Wayne"!! (No not Gretzky - you can keep the whiner and his gambling wife down there in California).

Canadian back bacon is awesome on pizza along with portabello mushrooms and a 6 pack of Canadian beer to wash it down with - oh, and if you run out of beer that is sacriligious here in Canada too! :wink:
Heresy! No beer??? Why, we'd hang, draw and quarter 'em! LOL

Hi neighbour! 8)
Hey there my east coast Canadian friend!

A hardy hello from "Hog Town" aka Toronto!! :)

All this talk of Canadian things is reminding me of some true Canadian icons:

Shania Twain (don't like her music but Hubba Hubba!)
The movie Porky's (love that Canadian gal Kim Cattrall)
Mike Myers
Pam Anderson (not sure why....a couple of things pop into my brain or is that my eyes...;) )
RUSH and SAGA and GUESS WHO (awesome rock bands)
Tim Horton's Coffee
William Shatner
Molson Ex (beer...and more beer...and more beer!!)
Ferguson Jenkins (what a great pitcher he was!)

Time to take off eh!! :)

Nah.. They are completely different things. Canadian Bacon was an American film, Strange Brew was mostly Canadian if I remember right.
