      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?

                  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.
