    We're serving roast beaver at the office today, and taking turns at swinging a bat at a harp seal pinata! Sing along... "Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay. I sleep all night and I work all day. I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars..."

    Will Rogers never met me.

      I think you pretty well covered all the bases there Roger... oh except maybe for a mention of Anne Murray? Too freakin funny. :)

      As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

                  It's not fair that Canada gets a day all to it's own and none of the other states do. They should at least do a Texas day.

                            Screech? Is that what they call that filtered sewage known here as Canadian Whiskey?

                              That would probably hurt less than several other places...

                                  No... screech in a rum from Newfoundland and, as such, a distinctly Canadian product.

                                    It's a rum. Popular in Newfoundland, and my house. (Although brewed in Jamaica)

                                      Hell no. Screech is the Newfie version of the the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster except it leaves you feeling like you've had your brains smashed in by maple cured bacon wrapped around a fresh Cod.

                                          Screech? Is that what they call that filtered sewage known here as Canadian Whiskey?

                                          Will Rogers never met me.

                                          No, Screech is a dorky character from a bad 90's sitcom.
