      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..."

            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.

                        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.

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

                                        Sounds like when you get home from the office you should drink a Baby Seal: Club soda over a pile of coconut. A shot of Canadian Club Whiskey. A splash of grenadine for color. Served with a wooden stirring stick. :laugh:

                                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
