        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.

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

                        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.

                                          Excellent! Et tu? Long time no see, m'lady. Bullhead City hasn't been the same since you left. In fact, it's cooled off some! :-D Next time you stop by, I've got some new guns to try out! ;)

                                          Will Rogers never met me.
