I give. You win. That's pretty weird. We don't have anything that weird here in Canada, although we do permit @BillConnerFASTC to cross our border both ways.
Toodleoo!

Both ways? Does Bill like to back in sometimes? (hiding now)
No you nasty person. We allow @BillConnerFASTC to walk in, come in on his hands or to paddle in via canoe.
We run a clean country up here, or at least we try to.
Toodleoo!

I'd like to sell them some vowels. I get tired of C eh! N eh! D eh!
Do you know the Canadians built the first and perhaps only UFO landing pad?
And the eat cheese curds and gravy on top of fries?
Vad a country!

...AT TACO BELL. Seriously. What nerve- Canadianizeing our Americanized Mexican food.

Do you mock the glory that is poutine? It is a gift from the Lord and we should be grateful!
And Canadians are basking in the glory! (NEVER trust a theatre consultant who doesn't enjoy poutine.) (Even if they have an FASTC numeric designation.)
Thank you @shannonlusk81 [You may be young but I knew there was something to like about you.]
Toodleoo!

HA! I grew up in Alaska and the poutine made it across the border to me at a young and impressionable age. Living in Vegas now, I'm very thankful to work at a venue that has a burger shop downstairs that makes a decent pile of poutine that is extra perfect after long show nights. Frankly, I don't trust anyone who doesn't salivate at least a little bit while thinking about poutine...

Director: "Hey can we get a 4' mirror ball hung center stage for tonight?"
Ancient Engineer: "Uhh... there are 2 performances left on this show."
Director: "So, I thought you were good?"
Ancient Engineer: "I am the best at your price point, I will see what I can do."
Director: "Let me know when it is done."
Ancient Engineer looks a the available space above and realizes there is only one adequate drop and we'll have to spread pipe to get them past the small Mirrored Moon...
<rigging> <harsh language> <much vigorous sweat-equity later>:
Ancient Engineer: "There it is! What do you think?"
Director: "Meh, it is not as impressive as I had hoped. Strike it and send it back."
Ancient Engineer: "Mmmmkay."
<fast forward to closing night>
Director: "Hey, did you send that mirror ball back? We could hang it in the house!"
Ancient Engineer: (knowing full well that the Mirrored Moon was still on the dock), "Nope it is already back at (rental house) and they have it on the way to the Pippin revival tour."
Director: "Well crap, can you get another one?"
Ancient Engineer: "Let me see what I can do."
<7.29 minutes later>
Ancient Engineer: "Here it is!" (holds up 8" disco ball from Wally Werld)
Director: <undervoice grumbling> "Fahgedaboutit."
