Move to Canada
FOUND by Mr. Slag in Washington
Picking up trash along the side of the road, found this against a chain-link fence.
Noodles in cheese sauce
Little do Cassie and Bucket know that America is actually ashamed of jerks like them.

I blame the media.

not-so-crazy canuck in Canada, eh?
Woah. Stop.

Yo! Found Magazine dudes! Is this ALL you could find to post for Canada Day? Some yankee hoser who doesn't know a toque from a chesterfield? C'mon, eh?

That Cassie - she needs to be taken out to a field and have timbits hurled at her.

Ahahaha. ^ Timbits. I love Tim Horton's.

This is quite contradicting...
The line about Russia makes me laugh.

Wow. What a "dear john" type of blow off letter. Kinda gets to the point, but is polite too.
How can Will change anyway? One can't change the length of one's legs.
Karma is a beautiful thing - wonder what happened to the writer of this note when it smacked her in the face? Huh...

funny in your town
wow.

sounds like my kind of man!!!

Whaaaa? We Canadians don't want the unproportional guy either!

Cassie's bud Bucket, or Cassie's loud Bucket? Cassie's bud, Bucket, or Cassie's bud-Bucket? Legs too short, torso too long, America is ashamed...never change? I'm very confused.

I think Cassie broke up with Will with this letter. Will has issues seeing how he is presumably a grown man still playing with toy cars (not building model cars). Cassie has issues and seems to feel that the only way to get over Will is for him to move far far away. By the end of the note Cassie finds her way clear to admit that Will IS a great person - just not for her here in this country but for someone else in another country.

I think they ment
Cassie's bud, Bucket

haha

Guys, you really don't get sarcasm, do you? I like to think this note ends with a final bitter stab to the heart for poor Will - it might hurt but it'll give him closure. Much better than forever wondering 'why did they tell me to move away if I'm so great?'

Carly in here
I think this is more like an inside joke.
+ July 01, 2007 08:34 AM +
Rebecca in Vermont
I agree with Carly. Or, if it's not an inside joke, I'd say it's certainly "tongue in cheek." Perhaps it's a bit of a hit in the arm. You know, like in junior high, when you liked someone and wanted to flirt you might've punched them in the arm and insulted them with a giggle, instead of just saying something nice.

I love the crudely drawn Canadian flag.
What a nice touch. Looks like something from the back of my HS yearbook. "Don't Ever Change" etc. This huy hung around with some weird people. No shame in that.

Liz in Omaha
This has got to be a string of inside jokes. Maybe Will was recently saying these things about himself. I think, with that in mind, that it's kind of sweet.

Sara in Oregon
I think this is friendly. Well, I hope it is, 'cause if not, those are really lame insults.

aw this is actually sort of cute. i remember the days when i used to write silly notes like this to my friends/boyfriend.

ab in there
I read this as "Cassie's bud-bucket", as in a noun. I thought to myself, "Self, that is one bud-bucket I will never jump into." It's kind of mean. I wonder who else is in her bud-bucket? And who wear's American flag pins? Not I. As if I want to emphasize the unfortunate fact that I am American, pfft.

p.s. -- does anyone else feel a sense of accomplishment at answering the "spam protection" questions correctly? I always want to put an exclamation point after my answer, especially the first President one. Yessssss, I must say I am a pro with days of the week, yessiree.

I think it has everything to do with hokey. Sounds like Beckey, Cassie's friend was a hokey groupie and he might not remember her except through Cassie? ( A little drunk were we? Did ya trip into his hotel room, and then stayed a little while.) He liked how playful you were, hense the letter, that he couldn't keep.
The jib in the start and then the ending, it's more like a tease. You can't play, your legs are to long. You'll never make it on an american team, The Red wings don't want you!! Go try Canada, oh yeah ,you told me Russia was nice this time of year, go home!!

Birdy in the old oak tree
I'm confused, but why would Canada or Russia be an alternate choice for this guy? I don't think that speaks well of those countries....this is weird and just...well, just stupid.
I know lots of Candians and a few Russians, and not one of them sounds like this goofy 'Will'.....if you wanted the guy to be out of your life forever, sometimes the best thing to say is "good-bye - we won't work & I'm not that into you."
I'm just sayin'....

You can get your legs lengthened!! Do it and just show Cassies Bud-Bucket what your all about!! I double dog dare ya!!

ashley in canada
LOL!!!!!!!! not-so-crazy canuck, you're so totally right. i think i'm going to go put my toque on, sit on my chesterfield, eat some timbits and watch some good old hockey. and in between all that, i'll listen to some stompin' tom because, you know, my igloo has a great stereo system :]
+ July 01, 2007 12:47 PM +
Boo in Illinois
I don't think it's meant to mean to Will, more joking, with how Bucket adds "You're a great person, never change." He makes some rips, but I wouldn't be offended if it were me. =]
+ July 01, 2007 12:50 PM +
Lil' Jack in Utah...blah
This note reminds me of the one's my best friend and I would write to each other in Jr. High. It usually wasn't given to the person we were writing about or to, and we would just add on to it all day. I don't remember being so cruel though, as to tell someone to move to another country. Just for the record, I think Canada rocks, eh?
+ July 01, 2007 12:57 PM +
a friend in deed .
Ha! You look weird because you're malformed , you do nothing productive all day , you are an outcast , but you're a great person ! How nice .
+ July 01, 2007 01:41 PM +
guy in the suburbs.
i do believe this is a chain of inside jokes, the line "you're a great person, never change" gives it away. Because she is intrigued by Will's originality and humor in saying funny things [i.e. every thing in this letter]. and she likes this about him, therefore she tells him to never change and keep being wonderful, basically. it is very nice in my opinion.

You know, he could always shorten his torso as well. I hear balancing bricks on one's head does wonders! hehe.

I've always wondered about people who wear flag pins.
+ July 01, 2007 04:10 PM +
Roberta in Karpathos
I'm assuming Will is young and his legs are apt to grow some. Then his torso will appear within normal range. As far as the America pins, well, that's pretty dorky. Will would do better to ditch those pins. And not move! Stand firm, Will. Don't run off to some other country. Anyway, you haven't got the right flag pins.

Domino the Dachshund in love with my frisbee
hahaha! maybe Will is a weiner dog and Bucket is Cassie's longer-legged pet. Better luck next time, Will. I know how hard it is to score at ground level. . .
+ July 01, 2007 09:29 PM +
Teresa in The West
Domino, i'm afraid your comment is the one that makes the most sense all day. though when i read it, i thought something along the lines of a sort of joke-letter between friends. Since the Dachshund comment, though, i've changed my mind.
+ July 01, 2007 09:53 PM +

I'm so glad Domino said that, 'cause I thought I was the only one who thought Will was a dachshund!

Oh my, this found and it's string of commentary wasn't quite sparking my attention. Then the wiener dog comment, which is somehow always funny at this time of night.

haha, what's funny is that i know a boy named will who is exactly like this!

This note was straigt up cruel. But is this note also in response to his letter asking her out on a date?

It sort of amused me that the first thing I pictured was a "Bud bucket"- you know, one of those cheap "buckets o' beer" I've seen advertised at bars?

If it's cheap beer talkin', all bets are off. *grin*

There sure are slim pickins up here in Canada. I hope Will moves to my town. I've got short legs too and make a mean maple cake.

Dying in a black abyss
Ashley, Your comment was genius. I too, am from Canada and am going to sit on my chesterfield, eat some timbits, and drink some pop. (I asked for pop in the states once and they had no idea what I was talking abotu!! haha)

And, for Canada day...? you couldn't come up with anything better???

Bryan in a bud-bucket
People tell me all the time I should move to Canada. Not because America is ashamed to have me wear its flag pin, but because I am just a huge fan of the great white north.
+ July 07, 2007 01:52 PM +
Flash in g my pearly whites
Dying, pop is not unique to Canada. We drink plenty of pop in Nebraska, too. In fact, people who drink "soda" aren't from around here, or wish they weren't.

I'm with the friendly inside joke camp. It's blatantly obvious. I'll bet Will is totally hot AND has long legs.

Cassie needs a good life. could you pick one up for her when you go the store?
