Insent, Nilly!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We have not won a medal yet. How can we not win in kayaking?
I was just reading that some half-French guy won Togo's first ever Olympic medal. In kayaking. He said he's only ever been to Togo once. As a baby. (His dad is from there)

What about instant coffee? I think a Canadian ancestor of mine invented instant coffee! Or at least manufactured it....
I'll have to check that out.
We also have Standard Time to our credit. Well it was a Scotsman living in Canada. And it wasn't approved until he left Canada, but there's a park named after him in Halifax!
I can see it now...Vancouver Olympic Committee brings you Time Zones! A journey through the world an hour at a time. Half an hour later in Newfoundland.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll have to check that out.
Googling didn't come up with anything, so it must have just been a plant. I think it was the Lefebvres.

Nilly, what is your dissertation about? The one-sentence version is fine, and it's okay to use technical terms because mr. flea wants to know. And he has a PhD - in SCIENCE! (Which is an American public-radio-based joke that you will not get, but funny, trust me.)

That's SCOTTISH, it's not CRAP!
