Ironblade Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Despite not being from Canada, I actually know who Wilfred Laurier is - from playing Civilization. 🙂 Edit: And I know what a 'two-four' is from Bob and Doug McKenzie on SCTV, although it's not hard to get from context.

Nayland1971 Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 That's good! I imagine that there are a lot of references here that non-Canadians may not get - but I certainly hope that fellow Canucks are amused! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's certainly a weakness for me, and I'm not even Canadian. 1 _____________________________ Hi, I'm Clave Dark 5!

Which is why I'm surprised it has not become ubiquitous here in the US Deep South. Fried food with drownings of gravy on it are life down here.

RikOz Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Bravo! Particularly for the Rush reference. My all-time favorite band since 1980. Mind if I share this on the Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson Fan Club Facebook pages? Edited August 2 by RikOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, the show was being filmed in Edmonton where I lived at the time. When the show moved to the CBC, there were demands for "Canadian Content", on a show filmed in Canada with a cast of Canadians. So... Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas made a "set" from one studio, used a single camera, and just let it run. The scenes where they are drinking beer and cooking back bacon... They really did that. They just let the camera roll and did whatever they wanted, and the best bits got used on the show. Later when the characters they made as a mockery ended up being the best part of SCTV, the set got upscaled a bit. Not sure if they ever got a second camera, and no hope in hell of a crane shot, much to the lament of Johnny LaRue. 1 Smashing/Lethal Farmer and a Giant Monster Hunter on Excelsior Monster Hunters: Blue Idoru (Main, Elec/Kin Corruptor), Kurodoru (Dark/Dark Brute), Canadian Content (Rad/Atom Blaster) Try Arc IDs: 44869 "The Orb" - Smashing/Lethal Farm on the Troll Cave map with 99 mobs, all patrols. 45166 "Hail The Orb" - Smashing/Lethal Farm on the Dreck Freakshow map with 151 mobs, 61 Elite Bosses Farmers: Freak Out (Rad/Fire Brute, Fire Farmer), Dara Kill (Dark/Spines Tanker, S/L Farmer), Freak Fire (Fire/Rad Tanker, Farm Everything), Blue Idoru (Main, Elec/Kin Corr, Farm Anything), Spidoru (Crabbermind, Farm Anything), various other fighters and support.

Frostbiter Posted yesterday at 12:39 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:39 AM Poutine is good but have you tried sausage gravy and biscuits? It's clearly the superior foodstuff. 1 Torchbearer Discount Heroes SG: Frostbiter - Ice/Ice Blaster Throneblade - Broadsword/Dark Armor Brute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amusingly, I made that toon on Everlasting and she had the name Loonie. But when I transferred to Excelsior, it was taken. So yeah, she became Canadian Content.
