    Waldo’s a commie!! NOOOOOOOOO!!

  2. Naoyusimi says:

    How is this funny?

  3. VictoryNotVengeance says:

    Sure we can find Waldo hidden in a cave, jut not Bin Laden. Something is amiss.

  4. Captain Wow the Ambassador of Awesome says:

    My Buddy Joe dressed up as Waldo for Halloween and everyone kept snagging him all night long. It was pretty epic because he started hiding b/c it was so annoying :-)

  5. Maggietabby says:

    The picture is of a recent meeting between Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of the PR of China, in which Mr. Harper is trying to find a good excuse for why he hasn’t visited in about five years or so.

      “Well, you know, I’ve been busy…aaaaand….it’s a long flight, and last time I was in between a fat guy and a crying baby and they lost my suitcase….”

    • justacanuck the booty wench says:

      Sigh….Stephen Harper is such a dork. Seriously, I kept cringing as I watched him meeting with the other world leaders. And I voted for him. :(

      • Churj says:

        Hey now… give the man a wee bit of economy… would you rather have had Dion in?
        Besides, as Harper pointed out to the Chinese, they haven’t visited Canada either.

        • Churj says:

          **credit, not economy

          I was laughing in my head about how blown our economy would be if the NDP was in power.

          • justacanuck the booty wench says:

            Oh, I agree, which is why I voted for him. And really, the whole China thing? Not sure how big of a deal it is to me. I was referring to just the fact that, in general, he really is a dorky fellow. ;)

            • I Like Peanut Butter says:

              Dorks need loving too.

            • mabsba says:

              Yeah, ignore the Chinese. Just trade with us. You know we love you. :)

              Okay, an actual funny for the Canadians: both freeways through Albuquerque were closed this morning due to “snow-involved” wrecks. Guess how much snow? Between one and two centimeters (I even did the metric thing for you :) ). And apparently a highway just closed for the same reason.

              (They weren’t serious, fortunately. Probably just dumb.)

              • smuffle says:

                @mabsba: We speak standard too, you know. We’re not Europe.

                • mabsba says:

                  But, wait, all the regular Canucks (I mean the ones who post regularly) say everything in metric. I’m confused now. :(

                  • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                    Don’t be confused, Mabsba, we young Canucks (unless we work closely with the States or something) rarely know standard (or Imperial as I was taught to refer to it as). I appreciate the translation, even if smuffle didn’t.

                    :hugs mabsba:

                  • Bethany says:

                    The Canadians went metric starting in 1970 and slowly (and I do mean slowly) converted – by 1978 all road signs were in metric and all new cars had odometers in metric, and gas went to being measured in liters in 1981. So, there are still a large hunk of Canadians out there that have used imperial themselves, and still more that are very familiar with the imperial.

                    What’s really f-ed up are the Brits with their miles per liter thing for fuel economy. *shaking head*

                    • mabsba says:

                      Now this is all reassuring to me (I knew I saw Green Beard posting in metric), but the real point is: did you not love the story?

                      PS Yes, miles per liter makes my head hurt!

                      • Default User says:

                        To be fair you can buy a soda in the US in such varied sizes as 2 liter and 16 ounce.

                        • mabsba says:

                          Well, that’s because the big soda manufacturers are international, and they sell more in countries that use metric than use our system. But England does everything in Imperial (as the Canucks call it), so to do mpg in miles per liter is just weird. ‘Sides, it’s mixing the two systems. But I suspect that there’s probably similar reasoning for that, having to do with their trade with Europe.

                        • keithybabes says:

                          Nobody in the UK uses miles per litre. It’s miles per gallon. There’s another measure which is litres per 100 km but only the Frogs understand that.

                        • mabsba says:

                          I was responding to Bethany’s comment, not from personal knowledge. I assumed it was some government standard, which by definition, doesn’t have to match standards of normal people. :D

                        • Naoyusimi says:

                          Keith: Aren’t distances all in km, though? And I thought “petrol” ::giggle:: (can’t “say” that w/o giggling) was sold in litres?

                          Iz confoozed.

                  • Churj says:

                    It wasn’t until I went into engineering at UW that I learned the conversions from metric to imperial.

                    Honestly though, metric is amazing. All you have to do is multiply by 10!
                    For temperature, celsius is more standardized… 0 is freezing, and 100 is boiling. Standard room temperature is 25.

                    • mabsba says:

                      Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m a mathematician; my husband is a scientist; I’ve taught science classes. Metric wins hands down both for ease of use and for conversions. I just have a really hard time when I look at a Celsius temperature — my brain doesn’t say, hey, get a coat or change into shorts.

                      You did Engineering at UW, cool. Not as good as math, of course. ;) (I did my undergraduate work there.)

                    • bad fairie says:

                      as one of the first generation of schoolkids they tried converting to metric – if our lessons would have included things this fukking simple: Standard room temperature is 25, maybe more of us would have learned more than a centimeter is about the same size as a sugar cube…. we didn’t even connect sae & metric in school. we’d do a chapter on one and then a chapter on the other, then were expected to think in both without any comparisons… canada converted in a normall, logical way and here is the us still out of step from the world and screaming about how nobody does things our way… / * rant

                      • keithybabes says:

                        Well there you go. We’re all bilingual over here. They’ve been trying to convert us for nearly 40 years but we’ve still got both systems running in parallel. When you build a house it’s in metric but when you sell it it’s all feet and inches and square feet. And in the summer we all think in fahrenheit but in winter it’s in celsius. Go figure.

                        • Churj says:

                          Even in Canada, a lot of things are still done in imperial, unofficially. Weight and height, for example. I would tell you I’m about 6 feet tall, not 1.8 metres, and weight in pounds, not kg. Temperature and distance are always in metric though.

      • smuffle says:

        SHAME, SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!

        • Churj says:

          Shame for what? How exactly was anyone in Canada supposed to vote last election… our options were for Harper (who frankly kinda scares me), Dion – a nutcase who couldn’t string a single coherrent sentence in english together and led a party that’s in shambles after a number of major embarassments and scandals, and has no clear direction, and the NDP really aren’t an option. (For those of you who think they are, I live in Ontario and I have two words for you: “Bob Rae”).
          Are we supposed to elect green? Their party head is quite literally insane!

          • Draekr says:

            I would have been happy with Dion. He’s not a nutcase. Yes, he has trouble with English. So what? Yes, his party was in shambles — not his fault. I would have been happy because he’s something very rare in politics: HONEST. And that’s why he lost. Stupid sheeple don’t want honest, they want liars who say: everything’s fine, no new taxes, you’re all going to be rich, I’m the greatest . Instead, we got lying conniving world-wide embarrassment Harper. I’d rather have had Layton than Harper. Layton tries to do good even if you don’t agree with him. Harper is just out for himself.
            And how, exactly, is the Green party leader insane? Sounds like you’re scared and in denial buddy…

      Hi Mom!

  6. Maggietabby says:

    PS: I guess the Chinese had no problem finding Waldo- More like “Where’s Stephen?” None of this is funny if you’re not Canadian, though.

  7. Smacky wants to spank EWAdams says:

    Move along people- nothing funny here to see ! Move along !

  8. Leigh says:

    Spotting Waldo, you may need help, but I can spot the dorkface easily. They put him right up front, on the left, after all.

  9. Dan says:

    IT’S WALLY. Idiots.

  10. Heven Stawking says:

    “Where’s Wally? (titled Where’s Waldo? in North America) is a series of children’s books created by British illustrator Martin Handford.”

    Wikipeedia FTW!!

  11. i_@m_1 says:

    Waldo’s been found!? Great! No I have no one to look for!

  12. bad fairie says:

    someday i’m hoping to remember to reply when asked if i’ve found bejebuz that either i’m still looking for waldo and haven’t gotten to that level yet, or that i have found him behind my sofa and have progressed to looking for waldo

    • Default User says:

      When asked if I’ve accepted Jesus as my lord and savior I enjoy being able to answer “No, but I’ve accepted her as my great-aunt once removed.”

      • mabsba says:

        When two evangelists cornered me on campus and asked what I thought was going to happen to me after I died, I told them that my mother said if I was very good I might be reincarnated as my cat. They were actually speechless. :)

      • the froofrou who stole Christmas says:

        We have a supervisor at the plant named Jesus (he goes by Tony, but that’s another story). My hubby sent me a picture the other day of Tony with the caption “LOOK! I found Jesus!!!”

        I LOL’d :-)

  13. The Picture is of Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper visiting China

  14. Christina says:

    I’ve found Waldo! S\he’s that little red dot!

  15. Happiness says:

    There he is!!! I’ve been looking all over for him! XD

  16. brandy says:

  17. Jason S. says:

    it’s not about waldo they are telling band camp stories that’s the real funny.
