And I know where canadia is too. Somewhere north of Texas. I got this handy dandy map.
I know that canadia is a big place supposedly, but I figure I got enough torches. PAYBACK FOR 1812 TIME!

Texans are even worse. Who the though chicken-fried steak was a good idea. I know, lets take a stale hamburger patty, cover it it pepper and deep fry it in the Colonel Sander's own (make sure not let any grease drip off!!) then serve it with some watery flavoured drink you misrepresent as beer.

When I was in Texas, at 19, they wouldn't even serve me a beer without my dad approving it. What!?!

Hell no. Maker's Mark. I hate jack, crown, and mist. Jim Beam's alright, but Maker's Mark is where it's at my friend!
Yeah, drinking age down here's 21. Used to piss me off when my old man would say "You know they moved the drinking age from 18 to 21 because of me."

Its Crown Royal for me. Probably the memories. First time I had it, I was 17.
I was fishing in the Squamish River, a big river near Whistler, BC. The sun was going down and it was so cold I'd have to clear the ice off the guides on the rod every cast and ice was forming around my waders. I was standing about waist deep in this ice water and just released a big bull trout. Couldn't feel my hands.
I hadn't seen a soul all day, when a raft with 3 other fisherman drifted around the bend. They had just lost their last fly (the type the fish were biting that day) so I gave them a couple of mine. In exchange, they gave me the rest of their Crown and a Cuban. Warmed me up nicely.

Sentimental value can be a good or bad thing. One of the reasons I don't have much love for the Jack. Seems like every time I drink that I get arrested
Gotta be careful drinking up there in the cold I imagine. Especially with the way alcohol thins the blood and all. Thankfully about the coldest it ever gets down here (other than the "hard freeze" every decade or so) is around 50ºf lol...

The biggest risk is getting clumsy and falling in the river, done that in February when it was still dark one morning. Made it back to the van, turned on the heat full for an hour until it was light, then found a different spot to cross the river. Booze was not involved in that incident.

Lmao well I haven't experienced that, but I got shipped up to Alaska to run one of my company's machine for 2 weeks a year or so ago. Apparently bears are attracted to the smell of heavy duty bearing grease too lol. Worst 2 hours spent in a port-a-potty ever. Would have shot the damn thing, but I had left the gun in the trencher.
Though I must admit, I was in the right place when that bear started pawing at the port-a-potty door. "Eat flare gun bear!"

That's pretty damn funny about your bear. We mostly get black bears around here and there the ultimate pushovers. I kicked one once when it got into our garbage and it just ran away, nearly bowling over my dad in the process. He was PO'd.
I hear bears are also into antifreeze, gasoline etc. You should drove up, bought a full belly skidplate (bear armour), then billed the company as a expense incurred.
