The Underachiever's Progress w/ Your Pal Pete: In Quebec, it's the little differences...

The Nitty Gritty

But more than all of those I am an entertainer. I carry around a ukulele with me for the same reason a gangster carries a gun; better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Stage or sidewalk, Your Pal Pete shows are just where they happen.

Currently, I'm working on a musical, RagnaPOP(or she's got the bomb), set to premiere at this year's Capital Fringe Festival. I'm also working on music, comedy, and musical comedy; for kids and/or adults.

The fruit of these projects will be available on this site, so check back regularly!

In Quebec, it's the little differences...

1. No "royale avec frommage" at McDonalds it's just a quarter pounder in french,livre de quart.
2. They(english speaking Canadians)pronounce words like "Mazda" and "Pasta" like they were Brad Pitt's character in Snatch
3. The Daily Show and the Colbert Report are available on broadcast TV, so I can get my much-needed dose of sardonic American humor.
4. Staples is called Bureau de grau.

6. Being the proud vulgarian that I am, I love that they say "Shit", "goddamn", and "blowjob" all the time on TV
7. There is a softcore TV show called "la maison de plaisir" that has female full frontal and male butt shots. Somehow Canada has not fallen into a moral vacuum , Hm.
8. There are musicians that are HUGE in Canada that I've never heard of. Jann Arden, anyone?
I'll be back in America on Saturday.
