2. Hang upside down so gravity will work in the opposite direction

Well all none-Canadians... what DID you think the Bare Naked Ladies were!?
Oh I could go on. Instead I listen to Alcohol and love.
Then again, maybe my close proximity to Canada makes me less non-Canadian than others. I've always called it a couch, and think /everyone/ knows Canadian beer is better than that American drivel, and I LOVED the Friendly Giant. And Mr. Dress-Up and Casey and Finnegan. (Okay, I'm forty, and I STILL watch Mr. Dress-Up sometimes.)
And we call it pop here, too.
ETA: That sounded really gushy, didn't it? Oh well. I do love BNL, and Kurt Browning, and Mr. Dress-Up, and The Friendly Giant, and Brian Orser muchly so I won't try to tame it, even if it does sound a wee bit insipid.

I LOVE Barenaked Ladies!!!! I've seen them in concert twice now.

For what it's worth to all Non-US folks, not all of us "Americans" like or enjoy the fact that our culture and ideals are basically shoved down the rest of the world's throats.sigpic
I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.

Plus, they....they got BANNED for their name once. In Canada no less. How funny is that? Some city council type person actually thought there would be bare naked ladies!

Secondly, this isn't the appropriate venue to attempt a debate of the dynamics of globalization, but I can't allow such a gross oversimplification and inadequate characterization of a complex process to pass by without comment. To casually make such a statement as if it were axiomatic is, I think, intellectually dishonest and does nothing to increase understanding.

we don't shove our stuff down the rest of the world's throats... everyone just loves us SO much that they want to emulate us.

I feel rather marginalised here Not only have I been deemed "not short", but I'm not Canadian, American or Australian and therefore have very little to add on any of the current subject here.
Anyone want to comment on the merits of English Breakfast Tea over Earl Grey? Or are you more Darjeeling people, yourselves? And as for orange juice... bits or no bits?Yepp, it's blank down here.

Ladies and gents,
Some of you know (and some of you don't) that I'm something of a sketch artist in my er... ample spare time? (whenever I'm not making models of space ships or absent water bottles as the case may be! ).
In any case, I'm working on a little GABIT project which I'm hoping to have okay'd by the GABIT crew (I have yet to approach them because I want to see if it'll work first), whereby I'm going to professionally print a poster-sized comic-book type sketch of Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter, decked out in full SG-1 gear (similar to one you may have already seen by me). Around this sketch, I would love to have SAmandan signatures, accompanied by a small note of accolade or encouragement for Amanda - and by small, I mean 250 characters or less (not words mind you, characters).
Amanda always signs autographs for her fans, I thought it'd be super cool to give her something signed by all of US for a change. Also something she could keep and that would remind her of how much we've all loved watching her play Sam Carter for the past decade or so.
If the GABIT folks say it's okay, I thought it'd be really neat if we were able to present the poster to her with all the signatures and little messages on it, some time during GABIT itself. Then have it couriered back to her in Canada (so she doesn't have to carry it in her luggage). If it's not okay with the GABIT folks, I suppose we could always try to just send it to her somehow, but I'm really hoping they'll say yes. It's just a poster-sheet, after all.
So... how will all the fan signatures end up on the actual poster, you may ask?? Good question!
I'd want them to appear *EXACTLY* as they were written. Choose your message. Choose your pen color (mind you don't use a giant marker, I won't be able to give anyone more than about 300 pixels width so use a pen, ok?).
Sign a WHITE PIECE OF PAPER as though you were signing a group birthday card, for example. Then ... have your paper SCANNED into the computer as an image. Set the DPI at 300 - if you don't know how, you can have it done at a local copy-centre, or ask a friend!
You've only got about this much space:
Once you have your image (signature/message), save it as a (JPG - 300 DPI ) Again, if you need help, ask a friend or have your copy centre do it for you.
Then... email it to me at:
FanSigsForAT(at)gmail.com
Use the subject header "SIGNATURE FOR AT"
I will be filtering mail that way, so if you don't use that subject, your signature may be lost. We've got some time to do this so don't panic. Think about what you want to say (and how to say it in 250 characters or less!). Obviously I will be reading these before I put them on the poster and censoring rude, crude, personal or otherwise inappropriate comments - which won't even be an issue since this is SAmanda and who here would even think of saying something inappropriate!? My recommendation would be to keep it light and happy, you only have about 250 characters after all.
I was thinking of keeping this in the SAmanda family - a SAmandan project since this is a place I've come to view as very special since I was welcomed here a few months ago. However please also feel free to pass this on to anyone else you might feel would want to participate. Even if that's on another group. We're all friends, right?
I hope to contact the G4 about this as soon as I know whether it will work and see if it's doable. It could be really awesome if it works out well.
Thanks guys so much ... love and hugs to you all !!
