This is what really amuses me:




"The problem is that the beer fridges are mostly decades-old machines that began their second careers as beverage dispensers when Canadians upgraded to more energy-efficient models to store whatever Canadians eat besides doughnuts and poutine."
:D

[pa_tileman]

What a riot :rofl: and the buy back thing.......They need to drive through Baltimore City, MD. They should just give out bullet proof glass instead, and make those Canadians drink wiskey! You don't have to consume as much to get the job done :tongue:

[John Bridge]

I knew it! I knew it! Those global warming suds swillers have to be stopped before they destroy themselves and us with them! Let them drink warm beer . . . for the good of the world. Haven't they ever heard of the Kyoto Convention?

;)

[MHI]

What do they need fridges for anyway? I thought it was always cold up there.:)

[Westie]

You guys are just jealous because we have better beer than you. :nya: :nya:

You don't have to consume as much to get the job done Hey, we dun need whiskey. American beer is like water compared to Canadian brewskis... :stirpot: :rofl:

Wanna hear sumpthin stupid? A buy back program was how many of those fridges began their second life as a beer fridge. True story from my buddy that worked at a utility company. Years ago, we were offered cash incentives to upgrade to newer, more efficient fridges. The problem? Nobody came to get the old fridge. They ended up in the basement when the new one came and became a beer fridge. :wtf: :bonk:


University of Alberta researcher Denise Young, who led the study, suggests that provincial authorities hold beer-fridge buy-backs or round-ups to eliminate the threat — methods that Americans use to get guns off the streets.And how's that working for ya??

Problem is Shrub let the assault weapons ban expire so now all the police departments here are having to get assault rifles because they are now outgunned and cop killings are at a 30 year high.

Heck, it's nothing that can't be fixed with yet another government program. :rolleyes:

Joanna Yarrow needs a toga party.

Poutine is moonshine whiskey. :stirpot:

[sandbagger]

Problem is Shrub ... I knew we couldn't get by without blaming Bush for something :moon: .

[Eric Philson]

You know what can of worms this opens up doncha? A while back the tree huggers were saying the methane from third world cattle farts is causing global warming too. So what about beer farts? I mean you gather up them Canucs in one place round about Stanley Cup time and you could make Mt. Saint Hellen's seem like nothin more than a spueeker in the bath tub. Not to mention superbowl sunday, the rosebowl, St Patty's day, bowling night or Friday for that matter. Nobody light a match and turn off those cell phones!!! :sick:

[kate42]

:wave:

Beer farts? :shrug: :o Not me. :shake: :lol2: The dog did it. :D :rofl:

[Rob Z]

Kate :rofl:

[Eric Philson]

You Polluter!!! Shame on you Kate, and your little dog too!!! :whip:

[flatfloor]

He's not so little. :crazy:

[Eric Philson]

A big dog accounts for even more methane warming the air. That's worse yet. No beer for kate or her stinky dog. :shake:

[Bruce H]

I KNEW we couldn't trust those Canadians :rofl:

I've done my part by buying a brand spanking new keg cooler!

Edit: On the other hand, I have 16 dogs (I breed Cavaliers), so I suppose the methane from the dogs offsets the keg cooler advantage!

[Dave Taylor]

If I didn't mention it B4... I use to be yer' neighbor by living in Shorewood Mn :sheep:

Poor Mn (being jest' below Canada) is a primary, first recipient of all that heavy, beer fart laden atmosphere a-sinkin’ on down. :---)

Is that a reprimand from the prime, grand pubah polluter? :lol2:

You know, if the beer fart thing gets enough of a following, it may spell doom for the tile industry as a whole. :(

[flatfloor]

In a recent study conducted at the Old Tilers Home in Manitoba, beers were rated on a scale of one to ten for flatulence, or the Flat Rating for short.

Labatts...9
Budweiser 8.5
Millers.......8
Old Sweat Band...11
Foster's...12

These are the worst offenders complete results available at www.fartfinders.com

[kate42]

Flat Rating for short.

Nothing like a Flat Rating conjured up by a Flatfloor. :D

[Dave Taylor]

BTW.... whats this rumor I hear but how Eric & I kilt' this here thread. Sukah' seems to be goin' as strong as ever..... :sheep:

See, they're ALREADY eyeing the whole tile industry. Who else would drink those brands of beer? Our days are numbered guys.

98% of people say 'OH SH#T' before going in the ditch on a slippery road.

The remaining 2% are from Canada and they say, 'HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH
THIS!'

[flatfloor]

Dave, are you trying to say that only 2% of the people that drive into a ditch are drunken Canadians? Maybe 2% are drunken hockey players another 3% are inebriated Curlers, 10% wasted sled dog drivers and a good 15% rural postal employees. :D

I usually use another two worded phrase when going into a ditch, but I think the foul words police would really be mad at me if I used it here. :x: Maybe a few other people, too. :lol2:
