Of course you have more people per kilometer in Canada. In the US, we don't even have any kilometers!Iamabrawler @ October 16, 2009 04:32 pm wrote: Yeah, but the quota people-per-kilometer is far higher in US than in Canada.

My least favorite thing, honestly, is that I've never ever heard him swear.
I'm serious. It's downright unnerving. He's the only one of my heroes in the entertainment business whom I've NEVER heard utter even the occasional s- or f-bomb.
It may not seem like a big deal to you, but as Chris Rock said, "Show me a grown man who's never said 's**t' and I'll show you a man who's FULL of s**t."

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn...that's alright because I like the way it hurts...

Well, he's never sworn in *public* (aside from a few on songs). That is different than real life. Also, this topic has been covered(the topic might be locked/moved to archives)FredHuggins @ October 17, 2009 01:46 am wrote: My least favorite thing, honestly, is that I've never ever heard him swear.

Totally depends on your definition of swearing I suppose.. To me anything less than a cword doesnt really count
and Oh wow, someone doesn't like his HAIR? What do you suggest instead, considering its naturally that way (and it'd not look great short for sure).. and.. what was the other thing?
Doesn't come to Quebec? No.. for the same reason he doesnt come to the UK, Europe or some parts of the Southern States = insufficient demand on the part of promoters because insufficient demand from the public in those places.
Al coming to the UK would be cool, but even though he maybe *could* fill a large London venue, thats not the same as saying he definitely would, or even if he did that the revenue generated would cover the extra shipping and other costs. He would need a large number of near sellout gigs to cover that and the demand just isn't there. He had a minor hit (#36) in 1984 and is virtually unknown here. I've been told by other people that the US/Canada places Al plays most are the places he's most popular, and that makes a lot of sense.. its all demand led, He's not some sort of missionary out to conquer new lands at this stage of his career I guess. That's not to say "never" though.. it all depends on promoters and venues though

My least favorite thing about Al is he OBVIOUSLY has some sort of problem against ME.
He won't play near my house (Nevermind I live in a small town amidst many small towns), and if he does, it's always in a location where it's impossible for me to get to (I don't drive or have friends, and it's always 1-2 hours at least! Like some time based restraining order!).
He won't reply or retweet any of my witty tweets directed towards him, or even follow me at all (I even offered him a toaster!)! He won't even acknowledge my existence!
And that's just downright rude! He personally knows several members of this board. Even some of my best friends here! And yet, Al doesn't even think I'm worth the time of day!
We know he reads here. We know he reads his tweets and his myspace comments (Well, not those anymore probably). I'm hard to ignore! My twitter avatar is freaking Abe Lincoln riding a big wheel for crying out loud! You can't tell me he doesn't know who I am!
What the hell is his problem? Where does he get off? What have I ever done to him?
OK, so my opinion of Eat It, Bedrock Anthem, and a few other songs is less than flattering. I don't see why that fact deserves a lifelong shun.
I say HMPH on you, Al Yankovic! If that's your attitude, be that way!
And people say I'm paranoid

You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

I find that extremely hard to believe considering he played nearly everywhere in the country for his SOL tour.the Dingo @ October 19, 2009 01:51 am wrote: He won't play near my house (Nevermind I live in a small town amidst many small towns), and if he does, it's always in a location where it's impossible for me to get to (I don't drive or have friends, and it's always 1-2 hours at least!

How old was that last signature? I mean, really?
