Life in the temperate zone...

Supposed to drop to -22C tonight and stay there into tomorrow morning, but with 30-50km/h winds it'll feel closer to -36C (that's -33 freedom degrees). And to think winter doesn't officially start until next week.
 
Might as well call 'em freedom degrees, you're the only ones daft enough to use that nonsense. I swear Canada should be the smartest nation on earth for the simple fact we have basic knowledge of both metric and imperial measurements and how to convert between them on the fly.

I'm going back to packing on my winter fat layer now. Beer and bread...and chocolate...for at least the next two weeks.
 
i yearn for the metric system solely based on the need to size wrenches and sockets. the whole temperature thing messes with me but measuring would also be a breeze. spent three months near ottawa learning log home building, I loved everything except the price of beer and tobacco!

I'm always amazed at my fellow fat, lazy Americans that complain that the metric system is too difficult. Ask them which is bigger, 5.5 mm socket or 6 mm: 6! Then ask them about 7/32" vs. 1/4", and they'll scratch their head for 10 minutes before getting it wrong.

Our beer is more expensive than down there because you're paying for flavour and alcohol content. Quality costs. Can't speak to the tobacco other than to say if I had my way that stuff would cost $100 a dart.

Depends on the beer. Had a $10 four pack in the fridge but worth every penny.
 
I propose a study to be done: Body Mass Index as it relates to the likelyhood that one will leave the grocery shopping cart in everyone else's way in the parking lot.

Lazy #÷%*!!!!!!

I step outside for a smoke, and all hell breaks loose in here!

I propose a study to determine the exact temperature (in Canadian degrees, of course) that a pair of testicles will freeze solid and make a clacking noise when the owner of the testicles tries to walk. For test subjects, we need only to locate a handful of the uneducated masses and tell them that this study will make America great, again. They'll line up to have their balls dipped in liquid nitrogen.
 
Oh man, yer thinking is all wrong. You gotta be out there with a more hippy dippy/pagan drunken run around the bonfire naked and dancing at midnight for the Solstice Celebration kind of thing...

Learn a few stupid chants and have a stocked cooler.
Sheesh.
