I think Ukrainian jokes (really, Polish jokes in the US) fell out of favour in Saskatchewan because of acculturation. All the old timers still have the accent, but those my age have no distinctiveness whatsoever. I dunno why I don't hear Newfie jokes anymore. Maybe because Maritimers really dominate comedy at the CBC (Rick Mercer, for example, is easily the funniest man in Canada—he is all but an institution at this point).

Re: I hope they have alibis
There's one house-selling show that the wife watches. It has the creepiest opening, with the narrator all dressed in black and standing on the roof of a house as the camera goes by. It's like the end of Dirty Harry, when Gemini's on the bus and sees Harry standing on an overpass, just staring at him. Anyway, the premise of the show is, apparently, that you need to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetics to sell your house. They have hidden cameras watching people go thru on an open house and criticizing the furniture and drapes and shit. And then people make those changes! Um, the furniture and drapes don't stay with the house, assholes. All I care about is that massive crack in the foundation and the water stains in the ceiling below the bathroom.

Re: I hope they have alibis
This keeps showing up in the newspaper here.
I might be in BC but I'm far from the coast. So there.
EDIT: And there are SIX FEET, not five. According to yesterday's paper.

This whole thread is just a tease for me today. Why not wave heroin in front of a junkie, huh?

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .
