You know you're Canadian...

Dan-D from Canada, who blogs over at Grey Owl: This Great Argument, wrote a really funny post recently that has generated a lot of creativity and entertainment in the comments. Becoming An Honourary Canadian, and the comments that it generated, are a lot of fun, north of the 49th style.
It was so much fun over at Dan-D's blog, that I had to dig around my digital archives and post the following:

You know you're Canadian when:
  1. You're not offended by the term "HOMO MILK".
  2. You understand the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette."
  3. You understand the phrase "I just spilled my poutine".
  4. You eat chocolate bars not candy bars.
  5. You drink POP not SODA.
  6. You know that a mickey and two-four's mean "party at the camp, eh!"
  7. You don't understand what all the fuss is with Cuba; it's a cheap place to travel with good cigars.
  8. Pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
  9. You know where you were when Paul Henderson scored that goal in 1972.
  10. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
  11. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
  12. You know that Casey and Finnigan are not part of a Celtic Musical Group.
  13. You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.
  14. You know what a toque is.
  15. You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
  16. You feel like you know Bob & Doug McKenzie and Red Green like they were, like, related to you or something.
  17. You live in a house with no front step but yet the door is one meter from the ground.
  18. Your local paper covers the national news on 2 pages but requires 6 pages for hockey.
  19. You know four seasons: winter, almost winter, still winter, and construction.
  20. The Molson's "Joe Canadian" commercial sends you into a patriotic fever, and you've secretly sung along with the I Am Canadian song.
  21. You stand at attention when you hear the theme song from Hockey Night in Canada.
  22. You are in grade 12 not the 12th grade.
  23. "EH" is a very important part of your vocabulary.
  24. You think the words "cheque, centre, & colour" look perfectly normal.
  25. You know EXACTLY what is meant by "double-double at Tim's, eh?"
