Heritage Minute-themed costumes

I owe you so much more than this, and I have things to talk about too!

But I’m sick and it’s work-time and all sorts of excuses, so I can only offer you this:

Heritage Minute-themed Hallowe’en costumes!

Seriously, what a great idea. For the ones you can’t read, here’s the complete list:

  • both of you know i cannot read a word (rural teacher)
  • now the people will know we were here (inukshuk)
  • mississippi…the sea…to china! (jean nicollet)
  • just once more old girl, then you can rest (Bluenose)
  • we have to keep our irish names (immigrant orphans)
  • but I need these baskets back! (basketball/Naismith)
  • men don’t wear pistols in Canada (Sam Steele/Mounties)

This is exactly why Hallowe’en intimidates me. I can never be as clever as people like my girlfriend, or anyone who contributes to A Softer World.

    Oh, these are *awesome*. I love the Heritage Minutes - the sheer *weightyness* of them, you know? You have to smile at something that takes itself so seriously….

    If there was anyone Asian at that party, I hope they were wearing the, “They say that there is one dead Chinese person for every mile of that track… that’s what they say” shirt.

    I would personally wear a “We just called him the Greatest Canadian who ever lived” one.

    Wow! That’s genius. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve randomly brought out the “rural teacher” line.
