   Hilarious as always!

   But! Canadian or Cliff Clavin-style Bostonian?

   Since the “real” Canada is entirely fictional, Eric, it can be somewhat difficult to distinguish.

   “Maplecholorians” had me laughing so loud my wife told me to shut up.

   Wow! I must be a hoser, eh? I had no idea that Canada was such a secret powerhou–hou–hou–that Canada was such a wonderfully progressive nation of bilingualism, lumber, maple syrup, and socialized health care! And for a hefty fee, I won’t release these pictures of Knukkers sneaking into a Michigan emergency room for medical treatment…

   Nice hat-tip to Kate Beaton.

   Kate Beaton is in many ways the opposite of the CHK: she IS for children and DOES impart knowledge. (We do, at least, have in common our sub-hour length.)

   Wait a minute, isn’t Canada being “America’s hat” from an AZWP? Next thing you know, Davey will be handing Bongo jars of urine.

   Rick, we try to include at least one reference to AZWP or Anacrusis in every episode. This is an advanced writing technique called “joke recycling,” which allows us to conserve the planet’s precious few remaining humor resources, and also to be lazy.

   What was the last letter actually saying in english?

    Mike, just transcribe the letter as read into Google Translate or something. My flawless pronunciation should make it easy.
