Yes, they're being used as compost bins by nomadic Calgarians.

293.2 | Whats a Chrysler? | CGOFS::R_RYAN | I used to be a coyote but Im ok nowooo | Tue May 08 1990 18:52 | 6 |
| re:-.1
What are they compost of?
re:.0
They make good sand bank reinforcement material for the GC, though we
prefer fjords. In fact, I'm sure, Pat is positively pining for the fjords.
A Fjord Mustang, or a Fjord Thunder bird would be nice.

| Not that I wish to Probe this any further but, I tried to sell Pat
my Fjord Mustang but he didn't go for it. Remarkable bird the Pat
Rushton, beautiful plumage.

| I wasn't 'pining' for a Fjord Mustang, it wasn't 'spruced' up enough.
It had a heart of oak though. 'Bass-icaly', I've been 'probing' for
a Fjord that doesn't go against the grain, as it were.
Right, enough of this silliness.
Where is the world's longest fjord and what is it called?

293.5 | Probably wrong; the St. Lawrence River may also be a fjord | COVERT::COVERT | John R. Covert | Wed May 09 1990 11:27 | 1 |

293.7 | thin fjords and thick fjords! | CGOFS::R_RYAN | I used to be a coyote but Im ok nowooo | Wed May 09 1990 15:41 | 1 |
| Hudson Bay! Its a fat Fjord.

| The world's longest fjord (or fiord, your choice) is Admiralty Inlet
on the north-western tip of Baffin Island, opening onto Lancaster Sound.
And there are no Chrysler New Yorkers or Fifth Avenues there.
Pat
|
293.9 | There's no such place as Chrysler Inlet | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Thu May 10 1990 11:30 | 5 |

293.11 | You ar one without the 'w' | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Thu May 10 1990 14:20 | 5 |
| I just looked out the window and I can't see any fjords much less
a Baffin Island. By the term self-evident are you saying I should look
in a mirror?

293.12 | I vote for Hudson Bay! | CGOFS::R_RYAN | I used to be a coyote but Im ok nowooo | Thu May 10 1990 14:54 | 14 |
| Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-dum having an argument? Whats the world coming
to?
How long is this fjord? and how do you know its the longest fjord in
the world?
Have you driven the fjord lately?
Hudson Bay is a pretty tremendous fjord if you ask me, and I take it as a
slight that you wouldn't consider it in all its majesty for the longest
fjord in the world. Its also the widest fjord in the world. And I,m
willing to bet it has alot more fish in it as well.
Regards,
Ron
P.S No more scrapping you two!

293.13 | Brush up on your history young lad | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Thu May 10 1990 16:54 | 9 |
| I vote for the Pacific Ocean, I think it's the biggest fjord in the
world. It used to be called the Pacific Fjord back in the early 1500's.
Columbus changed all that when he started doing whirly-twirlies on the
deck of the Santa Maria! The crew then shouted "Throw him in to the
Pacific Ocean! We won't have a Captain doing whirly-twirlies on our
ship!" And so it was that from that time on, the Pacific Fjord was
referred to as the Pacific Ocean.

| I can't think of any good reason for why you should doubt that
Admiralty Inlet is the world's longest fjord. Just look at a map.
No! Turn it the other way round, Barfin Island is at the top of the
map, twit!

293.15 | Surrealism 101-twit | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Thu May 10 1990 17:22 | 10 |
| Ah, but that's only a map, it isn't actually the Admiralty Inlet.
How can I know that it's really there? Going by the map, Admiralty
Inlet is only about 2 cm long, pretty small for a fjord.
If we keep this up we'll have the originator of this topic doing
whirly-twirlies in no time!

293.16 | Whirley-twirley??????? | CGOFS::R_RYAN | I used to be a coyote but Im ok nowooo | Fri May 11 1990 17:39 | 2 |
| Whirley-twirley? Do you mean a helicopter? Or is this some type of
acrobatic, rather involved, taking years of study type dance step?

| re:-.2
Dear ARE,
We are very nice. And at no time was a pot shot taken at Americans in
this note. The original question was answered in a
roundabout-kinda-way. The answer is no ( at least out West; there is
no accounting for the taste of the downeasters ).
Regards,
Ron Ryan
P.S You're to sensitive.

293.21 | Don't do whirly-twirlies, it's addictive! | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Wed May 23 1990 14:51 | 9 |
| re:-.3
You see, we couldn't think of anything intelligent to say so we
decided to be silly. We weren't being nasty, we just like engaging in
tangent discussions, it's fun!
I take it you gathered that we don't know much about Chryslers but
we do know a lot about Fjords!

| Generally speaking, most of the responses of late, from the various
contributors (You know who you are) within the past few notes, are
those of persons, masquerading as Canadians.
You see, Canadians, have a much better sense of humor than those
past replies would tend to indicate. Therefore, those persons are
not Canadians.
As a serious reply to the original note, I can't see a demand for
rear wheel drive over front wheel drive. Free trade means that you
can import used cars quite cheaply to Canada though, although I
don't know when this clause of the free trade deal will come into
effect.
Best Regards, and I apologize for all those Fjord lovers out there.

293.23 | It's merely our behaviour | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Thu May 24 1990 14:25 | 6 |
| I must also point out the real Canadians do not have a sense of humor
but the DO have a great sense of humour!
So contributors who talk about humor are masquerading as Canadians.
Canadians know humour when they read it.
;-)

293.24 | I agree! | CGOFS::R_RYAN | I used to be a coyote but Im ok nowooo | Thu May 24 1990 14:28 | 4 |

What he said!
By the way, what did you say?

293.25 | It adds colour | POLAR::RICHARDSON | He who laughs best | Thu May 24 1990 14:37 | 7 |
| If 'U' took a closer look, 'U' would have got the message.
By the way, that Tomkins fella types like he was born in Texas or
something. In fact, I detect a distinct San Antonio accent. Could this
be so?

Dont presume to apoligize for me or anyone else. If its necessary,
which it isn't in this case, I will do so myself.
P.S. I apoligize for .22 apoligizing.

conceived of in this country for note .17
Also, I'd like to express my apologies for any Canadian
who has purchased a Chrysler, in Canada or the US.
A Lada lover.
