You think it has a choice? (With thanks to Don Firth.)

The original Flat Earth Society (the Canadian one) was formed in 1970 by some of the world's greatest minds (notably Alden Nowlan) ... and these minds resided in the lowly Canadian province of New Brunswick (Canada).

"Administrative history: The Flat Earth Society of Canada was organized at Fredericton, N.B. on 8 November 1970 by Leo Ferrari, Raymond Fraser, and Alden Nowlan. According to them, a prevailing problem of the new technological age was the willingness of people to accept theories "on blind faith and to reject the evidence of their own senses." To promote critical thinking, the society chose to dispute one thing that "scientific Western civilization" considers indisputable -- namely, that the earth is round. The organization, therefore, set as its primary aims: "to combat the fallacious deification of the circle," "to restore man's confidence in the validity of his own perceptions", and "to spearhead man's escape from his metaphysical and geometrical prison." "The earth is flat; any fool can see that" was adopted as the society's principal motto."

Fortuitously flat...flagrantly flat....flat as a flatulent flounder...

Maybe 10.

By the way, would someone clue Blind Drunk in about the proper use of apostrophes?

The word "its" does not carry an apostrophe when it's a possessive, Shane. Any well-read person knows that, eh? ;-) (or at least they should)

Yeah. Little Hawk's right. It's means two things in English: 'It is' or 'it has'. There is NO OTHER USE. So watch what you do with those apo'strophe's'.

SheeIT, even the Legionares and Legionettes know that. They must be awful ignorant in Blind River, or at least SOME of them.

Yeah ...right. Ask me if I flippin' care. Go ahead. Ask me. Youse all think yer so flippin' smart, don't youse? Yer a buncha flippin' retreads! Who gets the girls, eh? Who is the coolest? Not you. No flippin' way! You don't get no girls by goin' on about flippin' apolostrophees, eh? Does Ozzie Osbourne worry about where he puts his flippin' polostrophees? Does Don Cherry? Do Ricky and Julian? I don't think so. Buncha flippin' NERDS... Go get a job in the liberry or somethin'.

Guess again, "Shane." If you really are who you say you are and you're not whoever it is on that icebreaker heading for the Boothia Peninsula or someplace.

I know Ozzie and I know Don Cherry (he's a singer and golfer, right?) but who are Ricky and Julian? Some gay singing duet?

Ricky an Julian are Shane's hair dressers. The moonlight as the "Trailer Park Boys." It's a TV show with outstanding scripts, tremendous drama and great visual art. (It's Shane's favourite show--other than whatever's on the XXXX channels, so having the show be filled with art is, of course, a necessity. That or nude women.

Sort of a "Gay Eye For The Deucedly Queer Boy", huh?

Settle down, Shane. I don't even want the girls. Try something else to impress.

So in Canadia there are channels dedicated to Australian beer?
