The “Win An Adspot” Contest
It’s contest time!
Just like in February, I’m organizing a new contest to give you a chance to display your ad on my blog. Last time, Theresa (”The Rain In Spain“), Saskboy (”Abandoned Stuff“) and Wapentake (”Wapentake“) each won an adspot, while Ghosty (”Agents Don’t Do Housework“) won a blog review.
This time, the “tricky questions” theme will be… Canada!
The first three persons to have all (or most) of the answers correct will get one month ad spot on my blog (each ad will be 100×100 or 125×125).
I’ll also randomly pick a fourth person among the contestants and he/she will get a one month blogroll link with a short blog review, the day the winners will be announced. This blog is a PR4 — it worth it!
The contest runs from April 9th to April 21th, when the winners will be announced. The comments will be moderated and I won’t say a word about whether the answers are correct or not before that date, so keep on playing!
I’m also offering you two wild cards: if you don’t know an answer, just use one of them or both, and I’ll count this answer as correct! These are your wildcards:
- Blog about this contest
- Stumble Upon Correr Es Mi Destino with a short review
Remember: you don’t have to answer correctly to all of the questions. Just get as many right as you can, and make a good use of your wild cards!

Good luck and… have fun! If you think this “test” is hard, remember I’m a teacher and feel sorry for my students 
Sociology: Name three Canadian addictions.
- Hockey, beer and dissing Quebec.
Vocabulary: Give the meaning of these words/ expressions:
– Homo milk
Homogenized milk. Or, possibly, what one gets should Gordon Stewart Anderson find herself pregnant.
– A toque
A hat that’s only respectable in Canada, but can be worn all year there.
– Block heaters
It’s so cold, entire city blocks must be warmed at once to conserve energy. The Canadian paralament has considered lining up the conservative party outdoors in such weather, due to the amounts of hot air generated.
– A serviette
The sort of wife I’d like to have someday.
Geography: Canada is said to have two seasons: winter and ______ ?
- Construction.
General knowledge: What’s an inuksuk?
- Wht you get from an eskimo prostitute.
Bonus question (not Canada related): what’s the common point between a lot of my blog posts’ titles?
- Point? There’s a point?
(OK, this wasn’t really an entry. LOL)
Ghosty’s last blog post..Farewell, Charlton
P.S.: I hereby apologize to Gordon Stewart Anderson. Not only did I mis-type and proclaim him a ’she’ instead of a ‘he’ in the midst of a rather tasteless joke, but it wasn’t his fault he ended up Canadian. BTW, I recommend “The Toronto You Are Leaving” heartily (the source of the ill-worded humor).

Always hard questions :p I think the only one I know is the stations with winter and almost winter, no?

4. An inuksuk is a monument built from rocks.
5. I don’t know that I’ve been reading long enough, but I’m
