This should be a Canadian national sport; ....
Today I was out enjoying the nice Calgary weather with a friend, and out of pure fun threw a snowball at him.
We chatted about snowballs, the fun of them, and trowing them..... Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a Canada Goose, and decided to attempt to hit it with a snowball.
Both of us played 'Snowball the Goose'; throwing snowballs at the goose, which just stayed there. I did manage to hit the ground right next to the bird, spraying it with snowball remnants.
Now before anyone calls the wildlife protection or the Canadian government, keep in mind that the Canada Goose is not the national animal (that is the Beaver - on the 5¢ coin / Nickle), nor is it the national bird (that is the Common Loon - on the $1 coin / Loonie). And if anyone has experience with them in a neighbourhood, they tend to be a little messy, and annoying.... Also the Canada Goose we were playing with was not harmed.
