   Jim Carey, Seth Rogan, Martin Short, all the kids in the hall, Norm Macdonald, Leslie Neilson, Tommy Chong etc etc etc all Canadian.

   
   San Francisco is the Comedy Capital of the USA (Or so it's said)
   used to hold some of the most famous clubs and many of the clubs had local people like Margarate Cho and Tom Hank (Yes he did Stand up while trying to get acting parts) and of course the legendary Robin Williams.
   
   Second City TV (SCTV) was the Canadian side of Second City which is also in Chicago. So Chicago is where many of the original SNL team came from
   
   One of the members of Second City in the 70s who was also from San Francisco started the Groundlings which started in San Francisco but moved to LA. I think on Melrose place or some shit like that. Most of the newer SNL cast members came from Grounglings.
   
   
   and the guys from Workaholic (which two are San Francisco area locals from near Walnut Creek and Concord) Blake Anderson and umm.. the dude who sells drugs and drives the "Rapey Van" who is the shows main writer and director?
   
   I took a Groundling Workshop.. if you want to get in, you're advised to do this. It was kind of interesting but I wasn't feeling good that day.
   
   I murdered one of the other classmates and ran off into the tenderloin where the class was being held. hid out at Lanny's

   I know they are. they're all from SCTV from the 80s. used to watch it on like USA network or whatever channel showed it. I don't think it was one of the big 3. probably one of the indie channels.

   weird. I just randomly thought of them and played Geddy Lee's "Take off to the great white north" song.. which was never on the film.
   
   too bad.

    Oh wow, And Hellboy.
    
    I need to follow films more often. i am not into most of these comic book movies.. it's like Zombies. I liked reading Comic books with Zombies as a kid and Superman and all of that but the films are overdone.
    
    Dawn of the Dead and it's remake were great. most others sucked!

    The only good thing to ever come out of Canada is Skinny Puppy but they're basically Americans who happened to have the misfortune of being born in Canada

    I think they got their name from a San Francisco established band (Who originated out of Omaha Nb or maybe Kansas city ) called The Residents who did a song called Mr Skinny which talks about Skinny Puppy?
    
    also Primus I think has a song with Skinny Puppy in the lyrics? maybe I'm wrong about that last one.
