Minnesota-Texas Football Series Canceled →

Who plays the drill sergeant when R. Lee Ermey dies?

I went to Montreal, QC for July 4 weekend with my brother and his friends. It was his bachelor party. In case you didn’t already know, Montreal is the second best bachelor party in the world behind, you guessed it, Las Vegas. Overall I had a good time. I hadn’t been out of the country since 1992 and never to Canada...

A lot of Germany fans in Canada.
Canada still has pay phones everywhere. How 1995.
