BTW, OAK, if ever yer in Canadia, and feeling parched, in need of some light libation, look for the store with the giant orange sign, and the letters B-E-E-R in bright yellow. The Canadians are apparently apprehensive that not all of their fellow countrymen will appreciate the meaning of a more subtle approach . . .
Setanta is right, those stores used to be called Brewers Retail, but when they switched to The Beer Store, sales went up dramatically.
So, it was like a . . . good idea, eh?
Are you the guys responsible for this environmental tragedy?:
THANKS, JERRY R . . .
Er - what is that animal doing?
God - how I hate beer...
That crittur got Rizla Blues ciggie papers, i use Rizla Green myself.
Now you guys, this Canadian beer thing, are you saying I can't go into a local/nationwide supermarket and buy enough beer to fill the truck of a big old Chevy ? That would be so sad
At the beer store, they have steel roller conveyer stands to assure the rapid, accurate delivery to you of your choice, in bottle or in bulk, with a minimum of effort. No muss, no fuss . . .
You back into your parking space out front, i guaran-damn-tee ya you can fill the trunk of that Impala faster than you can tell about it . . .
This is indeed the best site on the internet. Where else would one find stimulating conversation that involved capybaras, pot-smoking prairie dogs, devious beer selling tactics by desperate Canadians, avatar suggestions, and gentle kidding about the obligatory extraction of a dictionary. I'm telling you.... this place has got it all.
Oh, by the way, Dlowan. Thanks for the capybara avatar suggestion, but, actually, I would prefer the slender loris. Can you hook me up?
Welcome gustavratzenhofer
Yes it's certainly fun. There are quite a few bright and helpful people and a definite feeling of camaraderie. Enjoy your stay.
Gus----------- This place is just a regular insane asylum where regular people go to chill out, get laid back and order any food or drink they would like and you can flirt as well.
Just remember, It's all in the mind
OaK, sadly, at least here in Ontario, all alcohol is restricted to government run stores, and privately owned wine stores, owned by local wineries, so no alcohol in the supermarket. Setanta has it pretty much right though regarding The Beer Store experience. The laws here are loosening, but slowly.
I have decided to use my own photo for an avatar, rather than a capybara or a slender loris. I believe a bond can be created between the good people on this board if you know what everyone really looks like. Here's what I look like...
Now, the problem is, I'm not the sharpest knife on the tree and I can not figure out how to put this image under my name. Some guidance, perhaps?
Gus - click on anyone's avatar - the picture, NOT the name - and it will take you to Craven's avatar tutorial.
Cav === All millstones and injustices must be carried with honor. UK's drinking laws are loosening up and pubs will allowed to open when they like instead of the 12 hours a day now in force. Social lubrication in moderation is a good thing
Er, will the tube be open later? If not, I shall still expect to see apparently respectable women happily urinating on the stairs.
Thanks, Bill, but I still haven't found a single emoticon that can compare to the "father of them all"....
