And with two Basset hounds and a Baby boy there is lots of Yellow Snow around. Incidentally , until I had see the American commercial I had never heard the word "ABOOT" before not in 40 years. It must be a very localised eastern thing the US has grabbed on to about Canadians. Though , I don't thin you hear "Howdy" outside of Alberta
pps: you know Texas and california seems to be where I keep turning up 1940-48 cadillac 346 V-8 engines that are still running. I could sure use one for the Penguin to breath life in to it again, should you be out drinking beer and shooting doors of old cars and trip over one

Dang ol' cars keep eyeballin' me! 'course I shoot 'em!
Heuring's Theorem: The availability and proximity of firearms is directly proportional to their usage on smartass automobiles.
Yah, what is it with Americans thinking we Canadians pronounce about as aboot? I've never heard it pronounced that way.
As regards "Howdy", you will hear that used in Texas, once you get into cattle country anyway.
I'll keep my eyes open for a 346 runner. If any caddies eyeball me, I'll shoot 'em in the trunk! Cars survive a long time in Texas, although the sun plays havoc on paint!
CHIMO!
