As many of you know, I am a high school teacher and rugby coach. A new set of jerseys just arrived and with it a Barbarian catalogue (www.barbarian.com). They supply the uniforms to the 'All American' collegiate all-star rugby team.

In their 'flag shirts' line there is a U.S. flag jersey that is stunning - flash, but really nice. Some of you might want one. I think you can order singles from them.

Just a thought.

I didn't find the jersey on the Barbarian website, but I did find it when I clicked on dealer locater and went to AmericanRugby.com.

Price was $55 for one or $79 for two of in-stock Barbarian rugby shirts.

Whoops....I did find the North American shirts on Barbarian.com.

They look pretty cool. Might be nice for a July 4th event.

You da man, gremlin. Not that I dislike my country by any means, but I'd rather have the Canadian shirt. Just so people will think I'm foreign and stuff. I might be able to lie and get a free beer out of someone.

Ya know, I'm beginning to wonder about you, Artex, and Zac and MarkO. Are you guys closet Canucks working on some nefarious scheme to take over our Cousins to the South?

I am actually a man without a state.......born in Washinton, D.C.

Canada looks good to me for retirement.
1. Great climate
2. Universal Health Care
3. Canadians don't want to take over the world.

Great climate?
GREAT CLIMATE?

My goddamned water is still frozen and I'm taking my showers at work.

It's mud season right now - you guys call it early spring. Everything is coloured grey and dirt. Smoke is everywhere from the production of maple syrup and married men are hiding the kitchen knives as their wives sit staring at their children huddled in the corner of the room.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.
