Green Men Better Step Up Their Game

From the Canadian Press (via THN):
“We have a few things up our sleeves,” Force, part of the green dynamic duo, said Tuesday. “We are going over some plans. We are heading to a thrift shop this afternoon.
“Boston has some good celebrities we can make fun of. Zdeno Chara’s height may be a target. We have to step up our game.”
Maybe it’s just me, but I think there might be something quintessentially ‘Canadian’ about planning pranks—that are liable and likely to get international coverage—by haunting the local thrift store.
Canadians: Yes, we’re understated and cheap. And we’re not embarrassed to say so.

Indeed! Though I dare say, they stole it and ran with it rather effectively for their own nefarious purposes, right?

Well to be fair Nathan, I think the longest running Canadian TV show was Kids in the Hall. I wouldn’t be surprised if the average length for a Canadian TV show is one season. Kinda hard to rip off a Candian TV show when they’re not even around as long as a hockey season lol.

Hahaha, just teasing, of course. Yes, they have certainly run with it and given it a life of its own.

In addition to writing Canucks & Beyond and helping manage Kukla's Korner, Alanah was one of the founders and co-hosts of The Crazy Canucks Podcast. She has contributed pieces to FoxSports.com and the New York Times Slapshot blog, as well as other stray destinations in cyberspace.
So that's me. Who the hell are you?

And these two specific Canadians are so cheap they stole their schtick from an American-made sitcom…
