Instant response with authorities is always to deny, deny, deny.

When I was arrested, they asked us if we had any marijuana in the car, and we both, very sweetly go, 'noooo', and one of the troopers ***** his head at us and goes, "guys?".

After the initial response of 'lie to them', it turns out wdwf's response is to sing like a canary, and then my car was turned into a drug dog training center and that was pretty interesting, I guess.

But all of the guys at the border station were cool, and told us that since we cooperated fully and didn't give them any hassle and let them use the car for the dogs for awhile, we'd get off pretty easy.

Moral of the story: LEAVE THE #*&@ SHIRTS AT HOME.

or just not lie to them maybe

Nah. Pretty sure my story had a lot more to do with not bringing the shirts than the lying...

Then just bring shirts not made out of marijuana next time

No such thing as a "felony" in Canada.

You'd probably be looking at prosecution under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act rather than the Customs Act.

IANAL

ianal also happens to be tbob's go-to pickup line.

OMG I call weed shirts when in public

I dont understand the canada thing . why does it make any difference if you were going there to play poker ? whats the reason for lying ? Are they not letting people in canada because of that or something ? Sucks man , sorry

It was the first thing he sent me on skype... I was askeered

Most countries don't appreciate undocumented workers sneaking in across their border under the guise of tourism.

It is interesting that they went right to "Are you a poker player?". Must actually be a wave of refugees coming North...

This.

They instanstly hassle you because you're not allowed to hold a job/make money when on a visitor visa which woulda been problem #1.

And yea, he said directly to me "Since Black Friday, we've seen a lot of Americans coming up"....they were very educated

I shoulda just been up front and dealt with it, though thats not a guaranteed pass at all, especially with my financial situation.

Yes I live in Central Queensland

WTF at this guy playing the $3.50's???

Where's he from? I see loads of good players from Eastern Europe and the Phillipennes at the sevens. I know I spelt Philipennes wrong can't be arsed googling it.

For a Brit in the USA who usually tries to set 'merkins straight on history, that the "patriots" were in fact just a bunch of ingrates who were pissed that they were expected to pay at least part of the cost of defending the colonies after the French and Indians war ...

I actually had a great 4th ... went to Springfield, NY parade, that claims to be the 2nd longest running parade in the US. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...02869656429756 ... it was exactly what you'd expect for a small town parade (and when I say small town, if you blink, you'd miss it) and was fabulous for it. High school bands that were mostly out of tune, and marching fire depts who all seemed to have one person who couldn't march in step ... followed by amazing BBQ chicken ... and ended the day with a sauna and skinny dipping in the pond with Mrs Bogus ...

U MAD BRO

Did you read the 2nd paragraph ???

Best 4th July in 21 years I've been in the US ....

You could see history that way, your thinking may be one dimensional but it is not totally wrong. Of course it is interesting that the North American colonies were not alone in eventually deciding they could run their own countries without British "help". Sands of time and all that.

Glad you had a nice fourth. I think we forgave the 1812-1814 insult and also went a long way toward making amends for the 18th century in the 1940's don't you? Nice you can be here. The British are great people.

I did...lol but I was just making a bad joke. I'm glad you had a good 4th I'm still having a good one at deuling piano bar right now

For whatever reason, the "1812-1814 insult" was never mentioned in any history class when I was at school. (As I recall we mostly did Tudor, Henry VIII kinda stuff)

Edit: and the popular jokes all mention that the US were late to the fight in both WW1 and WW2

Yeah, they were the insurgents™ and terrorists™ of their day, otoh the British Empire was not exactly a universal force for good ...
