Hehe, looks like me being a Japanese Kanadian is a hit. Looking into that now, I just realized something hilarious. Sometimes, sentences in Japanese end with "desu ne?", so I kould make poke fun at those with "desu neh?". I just made myself rolf in my chair.

It would be much funnier if I actually knew what "desu ne" meant in English, and even funnier if I knew the difference between "desu ne" and "desu neh."
Well, educate me!

Oh yeah, right. Okay, LESSON TIME!!!!
Most sentences in Japanese end with "desu", assuming it's being said politely. Desu kan be translated as "to be", so it generally means that whatever is being said is what it is. Adding "ne?" to desu would make it that whatever is being said is probable. Sort of like when you reassure someone of something like, "They'll be fine, right?" or "They'll probably be fine."
Lesson over. Hope that kleared up my not explaining stuff right away.

Thanks, dude, I learned something new.
I still don't get the joke, though. But hey! You find it funny, so that's all that matters.

Oh, it's just a bit of a joke towards Kanadians. Supposedly, we say "Eh" at the ends of most of our sentences, so I just inkorporated that into the Japanese "desu ne".

I think the joke was started in South Park, but I've heard that the people on the eastern side of Kanada have more of the "Kanadian" accent, and would therefore say "Eh" more.

Dude, all these k's. 
Anyhoo, I've never been to Canada before, so I wouldn't know. But maybe they do say "eh" a lot. It's like how in the American south, people say "shawty" a lot.

Yeah, it's always kinda funny to learn about a kulture's accent. Some of them are just too easy to make fun of.

Alright, come on.
Do you really have to "kombatify" every c-word you know? I know you're a devoted MK fan, but damn. I don't mean to be mean or rude or anything, but all those k's. It's insane!

Well, it's still better to pick on some culture just cause of their accent...
Here on Balcan, the whole culture isn't about accents, but morons that think they're better than anybody else...
Thus the wars between Serbian and everybody else from beginning of everything.......
Wait, what the hell am I talking about?
