One does not simply walk into Canada. (One generally drives or flies in and finds the closest Tim Hortons.)

The parent sex scene was one of the funniest parts of this whole thing. Parker and Stone don't just push boundaries, they gleefully burn those boundaries and piss on the ashes.

I have a non-goony friend from Alberta who would probably get a kick out of this part of the LP. Coincidentally enough, she likes to vacation in Banff once in a blue moon.

Actually, "octopi" is totally correct in English. Ignoring Latin/Greek rules of pluralization for a moment, because let's be frank here, grammar is ultimately just about how people speak, "octopi" is a widely used and accepted pluralization of "octopus" (it's been around for at least a couple of centuries). It's what we call an "accepted variant" :eng101:. To quote this article:


In fact, "octopodes" is more liable to confuse an English speaker than "octopuses" or "octopi" are, but "octopodes" is still ALSO correct. Again, English is an incredibly flexible language.

Well that's a relief, given that I've been saying 'octopi' all this time. It makes more sense when you realize that while the word is Greek in origin, it is now a loanword in a Latin-based Germanic language and thus is bound to mutate a little as a result.

Other way around. If you invade 95% of existing nations, picking up a few words in each is enough to turn your language into a mishmash.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." - James Nicoll

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... it got worse.
