Penicillin, zambonis, the telephone. And, short wave radios that save
Countless lives each year.

Tell about it.

Take one day.

[JudyKayTee]

Not that I personally have ever noticed, of course, but I understand that those Mounties in their tight pants are something to see.

Oh, Mama!

[flossie]

Just for you Judy! Sorry, I couldn't find any pictures of their behinds(I'm talking the Mounties, NOT the horses!:D )

[N0help4u]

Did I come close enough??

[firmbeliever]

WOW! I didn't know Smarties was a Canadian thing.I used to love the original we had when I was little.Now there are so many variations similar to smarties that I can't seem to find that same taste.

Happy Canada Day! Joyeuse Fête Du Canada!

Were smarties a Canadian Invention?

[JudyKayTee]

Did I come close enough ?????

Well, as much as I enjoyed the horses' butts I was thinking more along the lines of photos of the Mounties' butts -

Perhaps I'll save the horse butt photo - on occasion it would have been an apt avatar for me.

[N0help4u]

Okay now to tag a question onto your post:eek:

Were smarties a Canadian Invention? 1, 2 or 3 ?

Now I'm really going to show my ignorance - what are Smarties? (I don't get out much any more.)
