Army, my college roommate came from Saskatchewan (try typing that after a double neat single malt) and he called Moosehead by the same nickname. One thing about it, even 'less-favoured' Canadian beers will make you pace yourself. Can't slam 'em! Not like Golden, Colorado's finest, made for tipping back.
Reminds me of a story...
I went to a week long workshop out in North Carolina three years ago. Before I left my boss and I were talking, he told me
not to go drinking with any of the Canadians. This coming from a very kind hearted man, made me curious. So sure as chit I ran into and became friends with three Canadians right off the bat. So remembering what my boss said I thought what's the big deal. I can usually hang drinking beer with about anyone ( years of practice )
So the seven of us went to a local bar and sat down to do some serious bullshitting and beer drinking. Three Canucks and four Midwestern boys, Two of the Canucks bailed out early and went to the tittie bar. So sure enough one by one each of my friends from home got pretty snockered and went to bed. I was the last one barely standing, drunk off my butt when we closed the bar. Now the Canadian was sitting there damn near sober as a judge, talking fine etc... Me I had drank one for one and was just hammered.
Heading out of the bar, I'm doing all I can not to stagger, and
she stops me and says it was a great evening. And if we weren't both married and of good character this evening wouldn't be over, she smiled knowingly and we both went our seperate ways :yes:
This gal was absolutely beautiful, couldn't have weighed more than a hundred ten pounds soaking wet.
So the moral of this story, well I guess there isn't one. Other than when drinking with our Canadian brothers or sister in this case. I'm a light weight
I still get about 4 or 5 e-mails from one of the guys a week, we pass jokes back and forth. I think I've heard more moose jokes / stories than I ever thought possible
My hat is always off to our Canadian neighbor's I've met a number of them. And can say I have not met one that I didn't like :thmbsp:
