I'ma smother you with buffalo sauce and lick it off your naked body with a side of bleu cheese.

The British one wouldn't be the best choice. Not exactly powerful....

When Canada abolished the penny I was advocating for renaming our currency the pound, just so we could divide it up into 20 shillings. Each shilling would of course still be 5¢.

There will be holdouts. In my part of Canada all the rural roads are laid out in a 1 mile x 2 mile grid. Nobody every says a farm is 3.2km away. It's 2 miles. Even changing all the road signs is cheaper than moving roads to make more sense in the metric system.

Otherwise for long-ish distances we're completely metric.

It's weirder when you look at Canada vs USA. Mileage here is usually written L/100km, but back in the day the cars were exactly the same but the mileage in Canada was better because the the US gallon is only ~83% the size of a proper gallon.

It's been Canada's official standard for decades. It's just starting to hit the general population though.

I'm sure it'll be something to do with kangaroos being taught to respond to commands in German.

Yeaaahhhhhh... I'm going to say both the soldiers and National Assembly are chads here. I don't think it was incompetence. It was malcious compliance.

Need to mount the camera so your guitarist isn't always shifting to keep in frame.

My sister started calling me "little brother" about the time I got taller than her. Before that we were just using first names.

Worst I've heard about this game is it lacks some of the charming "soul" of the original. That's not enough to keep me from buying it after Christmas, though.
