Alert

Tylenol PM is not sold in Canada.

I talked to a pharmacist today and no drugstores in Canada, according to him, sell Tylenol PM. I asked why and he told me that he really did not know, but that Benadryl, the part that makes you drowsy is really a decongestant that the Tylenol people were just marketing a side effect.

Funny thing is, that is exactly what my Doctor, Dr. Russel, back in Fort Walton (I'm from there I think) told me once when I discussed with him that I was having problems sleeping.

Wasn't there a movie about insomniacs in Canada going crazy and killing people (Robin Williams and Al Pacino)? Is it a Bristol-Meyers-Squib conspiracy to cause this by keeping Tylenol PM from our northern brethren? The thoughts tickle the conspiratists in me.......

Can you say "Take off, eh" and call folks "Hose Head" and stuff like that? Are you "in" enough with the locals to be that familiar and chummy?

Yes, I can say "take off, eh", "how's it going, eh" and call people hoser and hose head. In fact I have to stop myself on occasion. One night in the sports bar a Canadian started talking to me and I tried to keep the conversation going in Canadian. But it was aboot hockey, eh? How 'boot dem Oilers, eh? I really couldn't keep up. Some team from Nashville is in first place in the NHL and all.

Bob and Doug are spinning in their graves. Not only that, but I've seen several Geddy Lee clones.
