...Bud ( Coors et al ) :"it's only water". Try some Super Bock instead.

, er I forget the brand but not the can...maybe good old Black Label(?)

If I ever talked to a member of the GRC, I have brothers who would help me "disappear" and go for a dirt nap. There are just some things one ought never do. When I have crossed the US border, you should see the hassles I go through (the US Border Patrol have a good long look at their screens and my ID, and, and...). You can pick your friends, but not your family.

I can't comment regarding the prevailing winds through the mountain top retreat, but legend has it that a pair of mounties once tried to drive up the hill. Their cruiser was found abandoned, their uniforms and firearms had been disgarded and thrown into the back seat. Some months later folks say they were spotted mindlessly wandering through the trees. They never made it back, but you can hear them when the tide is right, the season cools and the fresh air rolls into the valleys...

dave: "Stew you made a speller there."
...er Bud's Bud buds (like "Larry's Bud" buds?). Obviously I've never been around anything like that and have no idea what you're all talking about. I thought Supernatural BC is well known for its breathtaking and fresh air. I need some more sleep...

Any want to take a crack at my signature line? Who said it and in what context?

Must be an American thing, 'cause I was assuming a couple of hetrasexual mounties:= a female member and a male member (being a law abiding Canuck). I suppose without an explicit explanation it could mean a gay or lesbian couple of members of the Gendarmerie royale du Canada . Maybe I'll check with the historic beginning of the RCMP , (historic Ft. Macloed which is but 50 miles or so away) to see if any "regular members" had gone AWOL while on patrol during their history. I think not

.

A disclaimer (of course): I personally could care less about one's sexual orientation, as long as it doesn't clash with my own.

As long as it's consensual, between adults, and I'm not required to watch, I honestly don't care either...

I know I've said this before. But I'm thinking about showing my pretty face at the gathering. I'll let you decide if I should wear my goalie mask or not... I'm fine either way as long as the beer comes with a straw.
