Hockey Night in Canada...Doha!

By Beela

Hi Everyone!

So I went to Villagio (totally not impressed...so it's got floating clouds...big deal!) and I was hungry so I thought I'd get something to eat. And guess what I saw on the ice rink? A ZAMBONI!!! I thought I was back in Canada! The theme from "Hockey Night in Canada" was going through my head, and the image of Don Cherry with his crazy outfits picking on poor Ron MacLean.

There is a hockey tournament going on and all these kids wandering around. A couple walked by me and had their jerseys with a maple leaf and I said, "Hey, you're Canadian!!!" and they're like...slowly walk away from the crazy lady.

Anyway, it just reminded me of home and the NHL. Except I didn't see anyone fight for entertainment.

:-)

Have a great weekend if it's a weekend for you!

Secretagent69, you sound like you're having a bad day. I don't give a rat's ass if anyone cares if I'm Canadian. Where in my little post do I give off the impression that I think other Canadians should give a shit? Because I said "hi" to someone?

Let's meet by the hockey rink and sing a chorus of "0 Canada." I'm a Yank, but went to a really crazy hockey university.

You sound really irritating. Who cares if you are Canadian. There are lots of Canadians here. There are lots of Canadians everywhere. Luckily, not all of them are like you and think other Canadians should give a shit.
