I didn't realize this was the killer killer whale from Victoria, BC (no, not Vancouver).

The name is probably pronounce till-i-come, I think it means hello or thank you in one of the native dialects, if not one of the pidgins, possibly Chinook which was a hybrid of a simple North West Coast trading language and English.

Yeah, killed a trainer and then a stranger was found dead in the tank, I don't recall if they ever determined if it was a whale related death of hypothermia.

My reason of the death is "I am big and bored, you are small, I want to play with you. Why have you stopped moving. Shit, now I am bored and depressed." Kind of like how my house cat will 'play' with a mouse until it is dead, she does not recognize it as food, just something to play with that she eventually kills, and then goes to the kibble bowl to eat something.

Lax is that related to Tillicum village and Blake Island, the fuckers at my elementary made us go on a field trip there in 6th grade, fuckers tried to make me eat salmon and drink fishy lemonade, now that I think about it we took a lot of field trips in 6th grade, 6th grade was cool as shit.

Tilikum/Tilicum is a common name for the Seattle area, it's pronounced "till - uh- come"

"Till-I-Cum" is the name of Salwin's other goth leather bar!

Lax is the shows go-to for all questions about Canada. I have a few questions regarding Canada myself.

Why can you buy milk in plastic bags?? Why are some Canadian pennies octagonal? (or something like that) If i get caught driving 80mph instead of 80km/hr can i use the excuse that i an American (and therefore an idiot) and didnt know any better? (i've already tried this one so truthfully i already know the answer) Why is crossing the border such a GODDAMN PAIN IN THE ASS?? (especially at the Peace Bridge in Ontario), Why do they give you SHOTS OF LIQUOR at the Duty Free stores knowing full well you're getting right back in to your car and driving back across the border?? Why do i (an adult) DVR 'Degrassi: The Next Generation' and once spent a full weekend watching a "Degrassi Marathon" ?? What's tthe deal with 'Eh?' And finally, ColoUr?? Really?

Dont get me wrong i have a house in Ontario and would rather live in Canada than the U.S. I find the Canadian's friendlier and they dont appear to be such extreme DICKS that we Americans (including myself) are. A certain 'legal problem' with the RCMP dating back to when i was 16 keeps me from obtaining citizenship (ie. i owe the province of ontario a substantial amnt of $$$$ for an unpaid underage drinking and posession of marijuana ticket that has accrued interest over the last 12 yrs)

That being said i would like to be the shows go-to for all American questions (the answer will ALWAYS be 'cuz we're dicks,' 'cuz we think we're better than you' or 'because our govt is TOTALLY corrupt)

Now follow the Tod Perry Answerpolooza
Bag Milk Only back East, it strikes me as insane, but it is cheaper I gather
Pennies It was done for the blind, we also have braille like indicators on our bills. I think the penny was too close to the nickle, it would seem being blind renders you unable to tell different weights apart.
Speed Conversion No, we have giant signs at the border, and it will be pointed out you also have small KM/H graduations on your speedo as is pointed out to us when we have trouble doing math and try to argue that 140kph is the same as 75mph.
Border Crossing Because your people have a habit of forgetting you have multiple anti-tank hand guns in your car.
Free shots What the fuck? Maybe I should go into duty free!
Degrassi I never caught the fever, I have never watched a single episode. I think it means you are either gay or Kevin Smith.
Eh We have to say something to make everything sound like a question so you keep up eye contact and spark up a little since we tend to go on and on in a polite way and you all seem to nod off a little, eh.
Colour Hey, you guys went on a special tear to respell not only English words but city names just to make things easier. Fuck you!

BC has a Tillicum here too, but pronounce it til-i-cum, without the UH. It would seem to mean friend in the Chinook jargon

Sorry Polly, for some reason I thought all that post was from Tod.

Lax is all knowing, I swear!! And the free shots at Duty Free is a totally true story, my loser ex boyfriend and my best canadian friend were MORE than happy to partake (i refused which was a good thing seeing as we got pulled over coming BACK into Canada after buying tacos in Buffalo.) The Canadian Border patrol accused us of all sorts of illegal activities, none of which were true. I believe we were stip searched. It was truly humorous since we really hadnt done anything and they eventually had to let us back in the country, tacos and all.

My sister once smuggled goods back into Canada from New York via a Hyundai wearing diplomatic plates with the ambassador's daughter at the wheel. Guess what country?

They could ask her to get out of the car, but they could not compel her do do anything, so she declined. I think things had to be out of sight as well. So everything was in the trunk. The friend later got a job for NBC and went undercover in a sweat shop in NYC for 6 months.

Another time they took that car to Montreal to catch a Habs game and just left if on the sidewalk in front of the the Coliseum - they didn't even bother to write a ticket.

I once had a gun drawn on my by a boarder agent, I guess he thought he saw something in the back that freaked him. This was before 11 September too.

The goat makes my day every time. Great show guys.
