Actually Mark, it's not as much hostility as it is finding the Queens folks
as kind of queer. I mean, thinking of an entire nation of "chaps" who are
straight out of Austin Powers is absolutely funny. (Ooops, did I mean to
say "chaps" or "blokes"? Chaps ARE a form of clothing for cowboys, bikers
and...well... other folks...)
I don't think we Americans can really distill it to any one thing. Your
accent, your royalty, your teeth... It might be good to get the opinion of
some of those beady-eyed flappy-heads up in the great white north. Well,
any Canucks want to respond to this?

P.S. If you didn't get the humor in this, please just send me to your
"blocked sender" list instead of getting your panties in a bunch. Ooops!
Did I mean "humour"? Maybe one of you chaps... er.... blokes can help me
figure that one out.

Chris, as a true Canadian, I have no idea what you're talking 'aboot'!
When the snow melts enough to let us out of our rural towns, we're happy
to see anyone, even if they have bad teeth! 8 months a year in an igloo
will do that to you. Besides, we're a little behind the times up here. We
only gained our independance from the mother country 30-odd years ago!

"I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK....."
Sitting on the side-lines, I'm getting a kick out of all this. As for "I'm
a Lumberjack", I just sang this last month at a British Pub Night that a
group of us put on to raise $$$ for our trip to Buxton, England next year.
lol...
