I was at Niagara Falls in 1976. We were on a college choir tour, spending the night in Buffalo. The people we were staying with lent us their car to go up to the Falls, since none of us had been there before. They'd had an accident and had an insurance rental.

We show up at the border at 11:00 PM at the end of March, all of us from Ohio, in a rental car that's not in any of our names. They made us come inside.

As I recall, the Canadian border was much stricter around that time than people who lived along the border had been used to because of the upcoming Olympics. I was at Michigan State, and a friend took me to visit his family's home in Dearborn for a night. We drove to Windsor, because people do that (or at least did back then) in Detroit for fun, and we were pulled aside at the border, too. We made it through fine. Whew!

I started drinking while working in the yard this morning. I guess I can have a few more in Dame Peggington's honor.

To make it match the animated style, and to make it easier to dub for other countries.

Glitter is a sweet Kitteh and Canadian syrup strip clubs are quite popular with the residents on the wrong side of that border. Very “polite” strippers and lots of “Eh, you want a good time buddy”? Bon hommie…thanks Princess Robyn!

Le sigh...bacon, like ice cream, is something that I really enjoy but never have in the house. Otherwise I would eat all the bacon and then have all the ice cream for dessert.
