Now, if he offered to tatoo someone's favorite team logo on his backside, he might have something!

Rod, that is brilliant. LMAO    Maybe he's been indulging in some of those BC grass clippings he was trying to sell?

There's nothing more hilarious than forcing a Canuck to wave the U.S.A. flag and sing the U.S. National Anthem. So, I have put my money where your brother's mouth is, and I am the current high bidder, at $1.04 US dollars. If I win, he had better not ask me to pay him using the silly rainbow Canuck bucks!

In his ad, he says he wants to root for "ANYONE OTHER THAN THE USA!!!!!!" Well, pardner, someone had better start the Lira or Pesos flowing, or he'll be a Yankee doodle dandy!

Dennis, I hope you win it too, just so I can see him squirm in the American flag shirt and shorts

I'm sure he knows all of the words to The star spangled banner.

The only bad thing, and this is not ment as an insult, but I just don't see the US making it much past the 2nd round, so you realy won't get much for your money.

OK, OK, Rod and Paul, you're right! The USA has some of the most boring paper money on the planet. We have recently begun melting Crayolas into ours as well.

Rod, After your bro-in-law declared he did not want to root for the USA, I had to think of something to gently poke fun at our good neighbors to the north. Everyone goes with back bacon and beer, eh?, so I went with the Monopoly money.

Truth be told, I actually like Canadians, I speak fluent Canadian, and I can often be seen in wintertime wearing a tuque!

Dennis
p.s. I am still the high bidder, so I hope your brother in law is putting down his Molson and lifting a Blatz to prepare himself!

Can anyone explain why faces of people on money are almost always really umm......not-so-good-looking people?
Why is that?
You would think that most countries would want to put their best out there...but No...gotta have ugly persons on there.

I vote to have Christie Brinkley on the next new bill...time for a good change.

Dennis, I know this is all in fun, I was also pokin' fun at the US "greenback".

Personally, I would like to see my Bro squirm a bit, so keep up the bidding. I see he is now voting for Mexico

Don, good point.

Also, why on our money (Canada at least) is the Queen of England still on there? Now don't get me wrong, I appreaciate history but I mean, we have been our own sovereign nation for some time now.

I'm sure Hesh and Paul W could make up some very cool monopoly money.
