It's been a busy few days, and I have the night off with nothing I need to do tomorrow. In typical new year fashion, I have been resisting the urge to get drunk and play video games and instead be mildly productive (or at least healthy). I just went into the fridge to get a tomato, (fuck yeah healthy sandwich) and what do I find? Not only am I out of tomatoes, but there's AN ENTIRE CASE OF BEER in my crisper that someone left here from a party last weekend. Is this Satan tempting me, or Jesus telling me I need to drink beer? Probably Jesus. Butterfly effect man, maybe if I don't drink six beers tonight WWIII will break out tomorrow. Boy would I feel like a dummy if that happened! Alright, I'm off to save the world. God speed, me.
saving the world, one can at a time Hooray! Cheers. Also, quick send that post to some producer in Hollywood. A show named 24. 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I don't think so!
Since it says "magic" on the packaging I can only assume Dr. Oz is already pimping it to his retard followers. If you want to "feel Canadian" there's a cheaper way: stand outside when a cold air mass hits your end of town. Or go tobogganing. It's still legal in our country.
How many feet in a yard? Note that US Standard Units are first and Canadian Units are in parentheses. 'merica.
Re: How many feet in a yard? That is because we can do both, so it doesn't matter to us which one goes first. I can order it by and 1/8oz or 3.5g doesn't matter to me.
Re: How many feet in a yard? Another way to look and feel Canadian, instantly. I guess if you are addicted to your own jizz, a straw would be a good way to consume it. But, I don't know if it's worth an embroidered shirt . . . Spoiler
Re: How many feet in a yard? Me too, I can go by the gram but I usually buy a quarter oz at a time of d… of d vitamins. Vitamin D. Suuuper good for you. Also we have a "Look and Feel Like an American" product up here too, it's a pound of butter that comes with three hand guns.
As much as Metric makes perfect sense, I find I still use Imperial more often. Especially for short distance measuring and using tools, I've never met a carpenter, millwright or basically anyone who makes things use metric. You never here people say "I am 1.71 metres tall." and if you did somebody would slap them and take their lunch money for being such a tool. Like most Canadians, I measure driving distance in time (it's 100 minutes to Toronto from here) and if I DO use kilometres like most Canadians I call them "Clicks" instead. Toronto is 185 clicks from here.
That is because most trades people are old school and grew up with the imperial system, and Canada has the population of LA area, so our market it so small and interact with the USA so much, it is just easier to deal with the imperial system sometimes Measuring driving distance in time is not all that accurate because, traffic and the way people drive. What takes you 100 minutes could take me 80 or take then next person 120.
I visited my friend in Virginia this weekend. I was leaving this morning and it was just me and her 16 year old daughter and I was getting a cup of coffee for the road. We had the following conversation: Me: Do you have any sugar? Her: Sugar? You mean like, Splenda? Me: No, regular sugar, the white stuff, granules Her: (rummaging through cabinets and then plopping down an unopened 4 lb. bag of sugar) You mean this? Me: Well, yes. But do you have it in a bowl? Her: I don't know. I went with just cream as I didn't want to open the 4 lb bag for a teaspoon. I then texted my friend and told her she was failure as a mother as her daughter didn't know what sugar was.
