I Like "blindly copying others". You should be writing this piece! 当然，汉，英两语言各有他自己的独特神韵。对不对？
Beaubien, I answer to any name, as long as it is complimentary.
Beaubien, The strong loonie is here to stay, in my opinion. Good for me, and good for the U.S. - I'll be spending more of my loonies in Florida.
老木， Hang on to you BMO. It pays almost 5.6% dividends in loonie, and the loonie is still going up.
The loonie is the new "petro-dollar" and commodity-linked currency, and Canada loaded with all of that. Did you look at the high-flying Aussie buck too? You should get some gold stocks too as a hedge against the dropping greenback.

wow，老涂（喜欢这个称呼），first time to hear about "dead ringers",learning from you is indeed loonie back( you know,the strong loonie dangled around the U.S.dollar Tuesday,right?)
On the first one, I like your original version: "I don't create originals, but I do very good "spitting images".
The 2nd one, did not understand. Got three Americans (all chemists) into my office to discuss. They were confused as well. One, who is very young, even say it is somebody that you call in to win a game for you. Apparently, your English is indeed "最拿手". Eventually, the three Americans agreed that "dead ringer" was for a perfect image of somebody else.
So I felt I liked them, but sorry to say, to me, one simple "copycat" beats both. Then again, "这英语怎么也弄不出咱中文的味道，不赶劲。。 英语有它自己赶劲的东西，跟你慢慢学吧。"
