Your Canadian HoUliday Weekend Open Thread – Saturday Edition

Two things of note to observe this Victoria Day weekend:

Item the First:

Since it’s tWBS Tribute Week, I know this little Twitter moment would have had him rolling in laughter.

For those of you not up to speed, U*NC (Seamus’ preferred nomenclature) revoked a journalism professor’s proposed tenure position because of her involvement in the 1619 Project and instead only offered her a five-year contract position. Nikole Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” winner. This campaign was spearheaded by the chairman of the UNC Board of Governors, who it was pointed out,

We can all picture him making inappropriate comments about motorboating, so there’s your smile on the anniversary of his passing.

Item the Second:

BC Dick & I had a respectful disagreement about the size of a case of beer in BC. I said 12; he said 24.

It turns out, we can both be right. The BCLDB – the government body overseeing beer, wine & liquor production & distribution in BC – in it’s “Product Registration” Application package lists beer as only available in 6- or 12-bottle cases, but cans can come in a 24-can case if they are from a “commercial” manufacturer – a brewery & affiliate which makes over 350,000 hectolitres/year. (FYI – one hectolitre = 100 litres; at 355 ml/can, that’s 98.6 million cans/year.)

Someone give me more ideas for this apple brandy

Dunstan

Give it to me.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That idea has been received and is pending with the committee for consideration

SEPTA?

I always figured if I was going to be shanked, it’d be waiting for a SEPTA train.

Come on, GWS, get your shit together

Wakezilla

So, let’s play a game called “Guess that team!”:

Former NFL OL and assistant coach Eugene Chung, who is Korean, says he was told he was “not the right minority” while interviewing for an NFL coaching job this offseason.

So DFOers, GUESS. THAT TEAM!”

Mr. Ayo

The non-existent 500s.

FACK YOU

Dunstan

Actually, the Patriots owner is very fond of Asians.

Brick Meathook

If you’re going to hire an Asian you really want to get a Japanese one. They’re the best Asians according to the Japanese, who I assume would know about these things.

Horatio Cornblower

YEEHAWWWW, I AM FUCKING CRAZEEEEEEEE (and maybe a lil’ racist)

Wakezilla

Why does the NHL love shooting itself in the dick so much? The Ice Bombers are breaking every rule imaginable to stop the Ice Maple Redacteds’ McDavid and the refs aren’t calling anything.

Whether it’s the Ice Argos or Ice Als, people will want to tune in to watch McDavid take either team on. Fucking unbelievable.

No wonder the NFL and NBA are levels ahead of the NHL.

Imagine Tom Brady handing the ball off and when he’s out of the play, players tackle him and there’s no penalty. You probably can’t even imagine that without those players getting suspended.

Why yes, I did pick McDavid in the first round of my playoffs pool. Why do you ask?

Mr. Ayo

Not to worry. I’m sure Mr. Bettman is on it.

Wakezilla

Based on how many times we could have had amazing second round or third round matches over the past 20 years, I highly doubt that.

WCS

“I’ve got it! We’ll move the Rangers to Lima, Peru, the Canadiens to Jacksonville, the Leafs to the Mushroom Kingdom, and the Oilers to Hyrule!”

Horatio Cornblower

 “I’m sure Mr. Bettman is on it.”

God I hope it’s a grenade.

Getting rid of Don Cherry is domino #1 I think, in eliminating the nonsense attitude that “playoff hockey” has to be different and tough for some reason. Call penalties you fuckheads!

herodotus450

The rest of the dominoes, of course, are 50 million old fogey Canadians who will complain to the Canadian Tire cashier while buying their Nanaimo Bars about “pussy hockey” if a ref ever calls a penalty in the playoffs.

Mr. Ayo

I’m boycotting all Brick posts until I’m paid my rightfully earned 1k.

WCS

Would you like that in Schrute Bucks:

Mr. Ayo

You joke. But this aggression will not stand.

Brick Meathook

But you didn’t guess the Carson part.

oh well, I’ll pay you anyway. You have to print it yourself. Remember, I’m only giving you this out of pity. Buy yourself an oil pan.

My apologies for the *U word in the corner there. I didn’t know this video was down for anything.

Vegas does look good, but they are playing Minnesota…

Nylander just hasn’t looked the same since he got taken off the line with Elbowlander.

Do you know what this is?

(winner receives $1000 cash)

Mr. Ayo

Yes.

I accept Venmo.

Fire station. Want more details?

DING DING DING DING!

But what is it famous for?

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s where you lost your virginity? 🤣😂

litre_cola

70s 80s porn was shot there?

Mr. Ayo

Emergency!

Look, I was born a winner long before you put up this photo.

ballsofsteelandfury

Split the K?

Mr. Ayo

Sure. Not sure I could handle all that blow by myself.

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s the original fire station for the show Emergency.

Brick Meathook

Yes, it’s the Emergency! fire station in Carson. In a sense, you are both winners. But, in a more accurate sense, the winner is someone on my S&M website who answered first and got the $1000. Please try again next time.

Did they just show Claire Saffitz (formerly of the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen) sitting courtside at the Celtics-Nets game?

herodotus450

does she have that kind of clout?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not sure. Maybe someone’s guest?

That is an actual advertisement trying to sell a bikini. Um, looks great, I’ll take two?

Mr. Ayo

Sexy Saturday has dropped!

Gumbygirl

I wish I had a fraction of her confidence, but I do have about 90% of her cellulite!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You’re wrong. A case is 24. A 12 pack is a 12. A rack is 30. None are enough.

Brick Meathook

In California you can buy beer, wine, liquor, and pot at every grocery store and it’s all dirt cheap.

Game Time Decision

Here in the Ontario we have 2 standards. If at teh LCBO, aka the liquor store you cannot get a 24. However if at the Beer store ( no fancy acronym) one can get a 24 or more in bottle or cans. Stupid alcohol rules

yeah right

I actually, (gulp) did some yard work today!

I know! First time in like 18 years.

But, I rent so what the fuck?

The owner is not interested in paying for landscaping and it was overgrown and came down to personal pride.

I couldn’t look at that jungle any longer.

Serious progress but a lot more work to do. The after yardwork beer was delightful though.

one hectolitre = 100 litres

We stop trying to invade Canada for a measly 209 years and this is what happens.

litre_cola

Hai! 100 Litres? Let’s gooooooo.
