Sorry, but not being Canadian, Mountie just sounds strange to me. You don't want to make the name an insider Canadian thing that people from other countries don't know about. What is a mountie anyway?

I believe mountie is short for Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Being an American I cannot tell you how or when they originated. Maybe our northern brothers can give a little insight? eh?

Amie,
It's a pleasure knowing I gave Ian and yourself a chuckle early in the morning. RCVecc, I meant to reply to Amie but I thought of you while watching "Saving Private Ryan" last week. I kept saying "Vecchio, where have I heard that name". Don't pee a vee on me! Cap'n, I suppose like the early bird the eager beaver.... well you know what I mean. Like coach used to say before we played Gonzaga " If you hoot with the owls at midnight you can't soar with the Eagles at dawn". Zarak, you're an Eagles fan. You guys booed Santa Claus.
And thanks to everyone who supported my entry.

Or Sgt. Preston of the RCMP, and his dog, King(I think it was King) (Or was it his horse "King" and the dog "Rex")
Came on TV just before Rocky and Bullwinkle
I believe it was on one of the US networks, rather than the CBC!

Or "Due South" ?
I agree "Mounties" is probably a better nickname than official product name, at least until the Americans realize that not every country calls their domestic federal law enforcement agency the FBI

Now you're really revealing your age, and I hate to admit that I used to watch Sgt. Preston and his dog, King also. I bet you remember Sky King, also. I do
