That's the Loon, Shimmy. L - double O - N. You really need to proof these things especially if you are using it for the title of a thread. It's pretty damned important. That's like me starting a thread called "The Dahluhr".

And, no, I'm not his official interpreter again.

Cool, the AUD is up to $0.74c.

This is good news, the lower the USD gets the higher the AUD gets, or something it's all voodoo.

Point is, rock on US recession.

Yeah I'm selfish.

Funny thing is, the recession will make Ahnuld happy, because it makes shooting movies in Canada less commercially viable. especially if the two currencies wind up close to par.

The coin is called a "loon" because it had the bird on it, you DoDo (yes, another bird reference).

And here's another reference to it as the Loonie... Discount Currency Exchange.

When I google "lonnie", I don't get currency sites. Even when I google "Canadian Lonnie" I don't. I got one that had that spelling in it, but when I clicked on the link, I got the spelling in the above link.

So, I'm not sure which to believe right now... the World Wide Web or somebody who lives there. Help? If you are right, Shimraa, I apologize. But the preponderance of truth, so far as I can tell, is on my side.

It's the Loonie; it's lonnie in Shimraaese. the 2 dollar coin is known as the toonie (or more correctly, the twonie). Never mind the fact that the deuce has a polar bear on it.

No, no, no. It's LONNE. There's no "I" in it according to him.

Shame about the Toonie. I was hoping it had Bugs Bunny on it.

No, it would've had to have Ren & Stimpy on it, since their creator, John Kricfalusi, is a Canuck.

As Shimmy would type it...

my fcukni' arse.

And, yes, a roadtrip is in order. I'm drivin'. Good thing we tagged Shimmy when we were making the molds for the puzzles. Hunt him like the animal he is.
