Bean opined Just today, my husband reported that Ms. Spears said in an interview that she likes being famous because she gets to "travel across the ocean to other countries like Canada." Where is she from, Hawaii?Probably Niagara Falls or Buffalo, old Bean!

She's from Louisiana. Maybe it's those weird Napoleonic laws requiring that one travel across an ocean before entering another country.

Dear AnnaS, Yes, I thought that was what you meant, but I think if we start comparing the number of annoying people to come out of each country, things could turn nasty, and I'm not sure who would come out on top!

I just wanted to point out that I knew that it's not inconceivable that an American would have to cross the ocean to come to Canada.

There's an ocean going ferry from Bar Harbor Maine to Nova Scotia. Would that be "crossing" an ocean ? Not.
Bette Midler is from Hawaii.

If you're going to cross an ocean, it helps to know where you're going. Once, sometime around the spring of 1990, I found myself on a flight into Newark Airport. As we prepared to land, the Stewardess announced the gate locations of connecting flights, including one to the Soviet Union. What do you suppose were the chances it ever landed?

and another ferry from Portland to NS-- but i checked my atlas (old atlas--new to being with me at work!) and the ferry crosses the Gulf of Maine Not as well known as gulf of Mexico-- but it seem to start at cape code and go up to the bay of Fundy.

I think it's probably fair to say that although Ms Spears may be young, may be a virgin, is definitely famous, can't hold a tune and is definitely blonde, she's pretty ignorant. But she's not stupid. Look at us, discussing her. If she wants fame, well she's clearly got it.
