moving to 'merica

No, just to wade through the BS.

HA!

I'd say bring a return ticket home, as you will soon realize as a nation we can't find our collective ass with both hands and a road map.

Could you also bring universal, single payer health care with you, and teach us how it works?

If you decide to tour the country, come to DC!

Dinner's on me.

Dessert is on you... literally.
 
You can get up to 10 years in jail for killing one of the red squirrels in Washington Square Park.

Up to 7 years if you kill another human in the same park.

Welcome to America.

Why would anyone want to kill a squirrel?
 
You probably won't even notice much of a difference if you're from Ontario. It's pretty much the same thing.

The politics are different, and the health care is getting better! Canada has us beat there still.

Why are you only moving for a few years?
 
I'm moving down to Canada's knickers in a few months for a couple of years. Anything I should know? Anything I should bring?

In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lions or tigers-ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog-sail away with me
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

NYC!

Welcome once again!

With regards to bagels, go to Essa-Bagel on 3rd and 51st. Start small and work your way up to the 'everything' bagel.

Above all else, DO NOT stand close the the platform edge. Crazy people are about hunting for people to push onto the tracks. And, no matter what time of day, the middle subway car always has a conductor. That's the place to go if your spidey sense goes off.

I've actually visted a lot but I'm still waiting to taste a real, thin crust nyc pizza. Legendary, right?

Expect to cause a few traffic jams and turned heads running into street lamps when you wear your cutoffs during the summertime. ;)

I know all about bootie short summers from Rosco's threads. You'd think after all these years of exposed under cheeks and whalebone tans new yorkers would be bored of it all by now.

And a gun or five.

Yeah, watch out. We act all coy and superior, but I know for a fact that most Canadians can't wait for the opportunity to stride into the nearest saloon and challenge the nearest and meanest gunslinger to showdowns at high noon, the way you guys get to do all the time!

No, just to wade through the BS.

Yes I heard America's having a difficult moment. I'm sure you'll rise above it, as you always do eventually.

It's similar, but it's different. It really is.
I got into library school there. However if they don't process my visa in a timely manner I'm fucked - I don't think those offices were specifically affected by the shut down though.

The ambiance is different. The pace is faster here probably.

It really depends on where you're moving to some extent.

Oh. No Metrics!
 
It might be nice to bring one of the Canadian football teams with you so the good people of NY could watch some decent games.

Just bring your native Canadian courtesy -- bearing always in mind that, in the U.S., it is coarsely impolite not to have sex with anyone who asks you -- and you'll get along just fine! :)
