Oh, yeah, like sure, eh? Beat me with a dead pony. You flippin' hosers don't know the half of it, eh? I SERiously doubt that anything decent ever came out of Chicago. I've, like, seen Chicago, eh? Gross me out.

Flattop is right about Hamilton...it's kinda like Chicago North, but it's a lot smaller, eh? It's not the kind of place where you roll down the window (cos your brother just farted in the van), look around and say "Beauty, eh?". Being in Hamilton is about as much fun as using a cactus for a vibrator.

Okay, so, like, now that I've insulted both Hamilton and Chicago, maybe I should just take off, eh, before I get in real trouble, eh? :-D

Actually, you guys are dead right about Second City...it did originate in Chicago...but its glory days (arguably) were in Toronto...

As for your derivation of hoser...sounds plausible. But where does "hosehead" come in? Or is that like "fuckhead"?

I just got a great book on the whole history of SCTV and its entire cast. Now I wish I could get the videos of the show too. I wanna see the Melonville election again, and hear the debate between incumbent mayor Tommy Shanks and challenger Vic Hedges. I wanna see Edith Prickley go through her paces. I wanna see Count Floyd! Waaaaaaah!!!
