1. What's so funny about Winnipeg?

Most Americans only crack up when somebody mentions "Regina".

Don't know why ...

:evilgrin: :blush:

2. And then there's this:

The Winnipeg Whore

My first trip up the Saginaw River,
My first trip to the Canada shore,
There I met sweet Rosie O'Grady,
Commonly known as the Winnipeg Whore.

"Come right in, I'm glad to see you,
Slap your ass across my knee,
We will have some fun together,
Dollar and a half will be my fee."

Some were dancin', some were prancin',
Some lay drunk on the barroom floor,
But there I was in the northeast corner,
Screwin' hell out of the Winnipeg Whore.

Then, in there walked some sons 'a' bitches,
Must have been a score or more,
Oughta seen me shit my britches,
Slidin' my ass out the whorehouse door.

5. LOL

That's some serious poetry. :rofl:

3. OK! A buddy of mine manages Winnipeg Square.

Your CFL team is the Blue Bombers and your old NFL team was the Jets. The mosquitoes are so big they should have license plates. So there.

6. no shit!!! I go there all the time.......

those skeeters are nasty suckers. ;)

We are also Slurpee Capital of the World. We are actually the cultural capital of Canada (unofficially)

If there is some concert, or sporting event, or festival, it's bound to be a sell-out no matter what it is. Ethnically diverse, hell, we've even had two back to back gay mayors. ;)

7. "One Great City!" (I Hate Winnipeg) by The Weakerthans

Late afternoon, another day is nearly done
A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
That hollow hurried sound of feet on polished floor
And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up
And counting loonies trying not to say

I hate Winnipeg

The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late
The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway
The same route everyday
And in the turning lane
Someone’s stalled again
He’s talking to himself
And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase

I hate Winnipeg

And up above us all
Leaning into sky
Our golden business boy
Will watch the North End die
And sing, “I love this town”
Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim

I
Hate
Winnipeg
