He's Canadian. What else is there to do?

Didja hear about the guy who tried to dig a basement for his ice-fishing shanty?

Gee, I bet it will take him a long, long, long time to finish at that rate.
I can understand why the Canadian government does want to waste its money or valuable jail space on him.

The RC tractor runs like a Deere, and the owner is more than a bit queer.

His biography will either be titled "I can dig it!" or "Did the Earth move for you, too?"
Why do I get the feeling that this man is single?

Is this his mother's basement we're talking about....and does he live there?
Yes, PB, I'm sure he's single.

I'll take Coco one further and suggest that mother is in the basement watching him. Think of the last scene in Psyco.

It's a dirty job, but somebody ... actually, never mind.

I person on my train claimed that a coworker created a basement underneath the concrete slab for his house one bucket at a time. To avoid being taxed on the increased value of the house, he would dump a few buckets of soil at a time on his way to work.
By the time the guy retired, he had a basement carved out underneath his Chicago Bungalow.

Note this is from the same source as the guy with the wood stove in his car.

Not - I knew an old guy in my town who did this. Every time he crawled under the house, for any reason, he dug up a bucketful of dirt. 25 years later, he had a nice basement workshop.
As for the dirt? Curses, soiled again!

I read that as "digging out of his basement", and I thought boy, will he be surprised when he finally comes out!
For one thing, nobody says "Getting jiggy" anymore. Come to think about it, that's the only major change I can think of.

This is Canada after all, where the most exciting event, one that carries a pacemaker warning, is sitting around a fire singing John Denver songs

I went into a small gift shop in Ontario once.
While there, I asked if there were any restaurants nearby? The cashier pointed out a stair in the corner heading down. She said they had a small diner down there.
The "small diner" must have seated over 100 people, had a full menu, and the kitchen was off somewhere I couldn't see.
I'm certain this had something to do with taxes or heating bills.
Wonder how long they worked with their buckets to dig that?
