Blue Crab Boulevard

The Canadian Beer Menace – Update

Following up on the report that Canadian beer drinkers are now the leading menace to the planet because of their use of the dreaded beer fridge to cause global warming, a few others are weighing in. We here at Blue Crab Boulevard would like to propose a modest solution to our neighbors to the north. For the good of the good of the children of the world, we ask Canadians to send us your beer. We promise to keep it safe and cold. Honest. Oh, and send bacon, too.

Others: Fausta: Clearly Joanna doesn't understand that a beer fridge is a necessity, not a frivolous luxury. (She also thoughtfully points out that The Mythbusters proved that the quickest way to cool beer is with a CO2 fire extinguisher!)

Moonbattery: Property rights are a small price to pay for rescuing the polar bears.

Granite Grok: Is this the Brit-Canadian version of Democrats getting vaccinations before going to a NASCAR race?

Jules Crittenden: Beer fridge buyback? When you pry my cold, dead fingers off it.

Small Dead Animals: Pack Your Bags, Bangladesh. Looks like you're moving to higher ground.

No Runny Eggs: My response, “Get me another beer, wenches!

Tim Blair: Well done, Canadian beer drinkers. I hope you’re proud of yourselves.

I can see a photoshop opportunity here. Imagine a Bob/Doug MacKenzie type holding a beer and leaning against an old refrigerator. Stenciled diagonally across the pic would be the words” Enemy of the State”. Heh heh.

I’d respond in more detail, but I need to check this out personally. I can be in Vancouver in three hours. I’ll get right next to the problem by pretending to be one of them, eh?

Bring back lots of “evidence” … for us to do, you know, forensics testing on, eh?

Just so it doesn’t star David Caruso. Now David Spade would be funny.

Gaius-

Det. Spade: “Seems the victim was hit with a blunt object, causing a skull fracture.”

Partner: “Maybe this empty beer bottle?”

Spade: “No, bigger … This was obviously an autumn dark … Full bodied. A beer you can sink your teeth into and chew on … And it was kept cold to the perfect temp.”

Partner: “Well, that should narrow it down. Want me to start collecting samples from the local drive-thru’s?”

Spade: “Yeah … But don’t take them to headquarters … Not enough room there. We’ll work better at my place … I got a big screen HD TV … and room in my Canadian fridge.”
