Nikon D90 ackward Canadian packaging

These remarks are from a person who lives in a country that to vote they do
it by pulling a lever because you are all too stupid to mark an X on a piece
of paper.

So keep your smart arse remarks about Canada and Canadians to yourself.

they don't bundle it with a lens. Many stores have fixed 12" shelves!

Typical of Nikon Canada...

Hey get over it. You're Canadian.

When you invented the car, you put square tires on it. It went canuck,
canuck, canuck...then GM opened plants for you.

Your Navy is a Canoe and a pair of beavers with a Mountie.

What do you expect, you end sentences with 'eh'.

Then again, WE have Bush as president, and McCain on the ticket.
Sooooooo........maybe its a wash, eh?

Is "ackward" a Canadian word?


Yes.. if you're really nice, we may allow you to use it. It's got
it's
roots in Bill the Cat.
Phbt.

How much will it cost me?


According to the ACK! treaty, it'll cost you a beer... a real one, not
one of those .000000031% you guys use down there..




Hey, enough of those and you still get adequate alcohol...

uh huh...That's like drinking decaf, man... it's only pretend... quit
fronting..

I don't do caffiene, so that sounds okay to me. At 61, I'm still young
enough that I don't need it to stay awake.

At 61, you don't have the time to waste sleeping. Quit foolin'.

There's that, too.

Paper? That's so last century. And off-topic for rec.photo.digital...

I won't be happy until I can vote from right here. I'm online anyway, why
make me actually GO somewhere to vote?

Isn't this the spot for the Ninja tie-in? I notice the rest of this
thread kinda drifted into a nasty area.

I can supply a press that would squeeze the 13" high boxes down to
11".
There might be a problem for the 91" long box though.

For those, you use a rack stretcher.
