Have to look for the silver lining, right?

[frenzyheart 2]

So I'm helping Matt look over the online application for his long form birth certificate, and seeing as he's in a rare form tonight, the jokes he's making are actually kind of funny. (Either that, or this whole process is causing me to go a little wonky..) Of course, the first thing I thought was "Oh hey, my friends at VJ might get a kick out of this...(or they'll think I'm insane. )"

Me being a silly American and getting weirded out by the Canadian system (for the 2384728374th time since we met)

(7:38:40 PM) Tiffanney: I put in your name and that it'll be delivered to ****** postal code

(7:38:51 PM) Matt: And it knows my address, right?

(7:38:52 PM) Tiffanney: ... and it brings up that your street name is *STREET NAME*

(7:38:55 PM) Tiffanney: FREAKY

(7:38:57 PM) Matt: Tiff.

(7:38:58 PM) Matt: Not really.

(7:39:03 PM) Tiffanney: IT IS FOR ME SHUT UP

(7:39:05 PM) Matt: Postal Code > Zip Code

(7:39:18 PM) Matt: Zip Code = Regional. Postal Codes = Street AND side of street.

(7:39:19 PM) Tiffanney: DUDE. We have like 5 for the city of Des Moines

(7:39:23 PM) Tiffanney: You have like 2457427092470923479028374

(7:39:35 PM) Matt: A postal code alone can get mail to my house.

(7:39:45 PM) Tiffanney: crazycanadiansaywut

(7:39:59 PM) Matt: More like outdatedAmericansasaywut. ;p

The application asking if the person being applied for is deceased

(7:43:07 PM) Tiffanney: Hey Matt

(7:43:12 PM) Tiffanney: are you deceased?

(7:43:22 PM) Matt: Is there an option for zombie?

(7:43:28 PM) Tiffanney: Unfortunatly not.

(7:43:32 PM) Matt: Then yes.

(7:43:35 PM) Tiffanney: lol

(7:43:39 PM) Tiffanney: So you're dead?

(7:43:43 PM) Matt: Yep.

(7:43:47 PM) Matt: Cause I'm that awesome.

(7:43:49 PM) Tiffanney: XD

(7:43:55 PM) Matt: The world can't handle it.

Asking for weight at birth

(7:46:04 PM) Tiffanney: It asks your weight at birth.

(7:46:24 PM) Tiffanney: not required, but still

(7:46:30 PM) Matt: Unknown, my presence was too powerful, and it broke the scale.

Asking about who delivered

(7:47:22 PM) Tiffanney: It was a physician that delivered you. right?

(7:47:28 PM) Matt: I have no idea.

(7:47:45 PM) Matt: I can't seem to remember that day too clearly.

Yeah. Considering the mood I've been in all day, these were a little funny to me. Hopefully you get a little chuckle out of them, too. Thanks for the LOL moments, Ontario.

These two in particular really made me laugh -- especially the comment "I can't seem to remember that day too clearly." lol, hilarious!

lol thats awesome. Let him know he gave me a good giggle with his Awesome super Zombie powers (but he really needs to get his memory checked )

[SunDrop 59]

Lol very cute. Reminds me of the conversations the two of us have. There's an awesome one about spaghettios somewhere that I should dig up.

This totally made me think of why I think online relationships have a potential to connect that differs in such a positive way from 'traditional' couples. You might have a cute conversation face to face but they're never saved for posterity.

Thanks for sharing - it's made me feel all fuzzy wuzzy about why I love my guy

[BunzTheMagicSnail 2]

lmao

i like the dry humor

[Hugglebuggles 60]

cute!

I love how this thread has taught me about Canadian postal codes... even though I'm Canadian and lived there for 21 years
