The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsCanadian Smarty
Are you jealous, my American friends? We have our own Canadian Smarties, eh. They come in colour choices of red or white, so they still get to ask the same question, "do you eat the red ones last, eh?" And, the white ones are actually like the picture on the box (which by the way is sparkly): they have a maple leaf.
Guess others around the world are S.O.L. Ya, I'm a shit disturbing hosehead. Maybe you should all grab your toques, your pogey, and head on up to Canada in your skidoo, eh, and get yourselves a cool red and white box of Smarties.
And if none of those Canadianisms made sense, check out Canadian Expatriates article, which should explain everything.
Okay, I give, here are the definitions for you:
S.O.L. - shit out of luck
Shit Disturber - trouble maker or provocateur
Hosehead - slang term for loser, butthead, moron, whatever
Toque - warm winter hat, although the Urban Dictionary has some great definitions for it.
Pogey - Unemployment/Employment check. Money provided by the government when not working, if eligible.
Skidoo - motorised toboggan; like a jet ski for winter cruising

So. Not. Fair.
You definitely should not tease a hungry expat Canuck with things that are not available locally. :p
That Smartie box is totally kickass. I love that they made it sparkly. Everything tastes better with sparkles.
Thanks for the link! :)
