Before I get to Leafs news, I thought I'd spend a moment virtually touristing at the [Canadian National Exhibition](http://theex.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). From what I gather, it's almost like Epcot Center's food and wine festival, but with just the Canada pavilion. Y'all go out and eat some of this excellent food for me, okay?

#### And remember

Vincent: All right. Well, you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup; I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?  
 Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?  
 Vincent: Nah, man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.  
 Jules: What do they call it?  
 Vincent: They call it a "Royale with Cheese."  
 Jules: "Royale with Cheese."  
 Vincent: That's right.  
 Jules: What do they call a Big Mac?  
 Vincent: A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "Le Big Mac."  
 Jules: \[in mock French accent\] "Le Big Mac." \[laughs\] What do they call a Whopper?  
 Vincent: I don't know, I didn't go in a Burger King.
