Comment RSSCanada Day Celebrations
3.07.07 # 5:19 # Adventures in Real Life # 2 CommentsAs the Canada Day long week-end approached I was faced with quite the dilemma. I had so many options as to where I could go to get completely hammered celebrate my Canadian heritage in a meaningful way. I could have made the long journey down to Calgary or I could have gone out to Evergreen. I was invited to go out to the mountains or I could have traveled down to the Ponds of Bower in my hometown. That’s the only drawback to having such an outgoing, charismatic personality; everyone wants such a person to spend his/her time with them. In the end though I decided to make the trip out to the Sovereign Nation of Sebekia. I packed a special gift; a Blue Beaver Beer basket.
Even though Sebekia has technically seceded from Canada, it’s rulers still have a certain fondness for the “Old Country”, plus the King jumps at any excuse for a pyrotechnics display. I was allowed entry after I gifted the ruler with prodigious amounts of Blue Beaver Beer and screamin’ hot chicken wings. A very elite group of people had gathered together in the small country to partake in the generosity of Sebekia’s royal family. Although we were all there to have a good time, it was done with a distinct air of grace and dignity (not like a drunken Canada Day bash in someplace like New Toronto). Even the children were on their best behavior, playing quietly away from the adults and not vexing their parents at all. The dogs never became excited nor did they bark incessantly whenever new arrivals showed up.
At dusk the entire Sebekia armed forces came out and fired off the cannons, much to everyones delight. After it was fully dark all of the revelers enjoyed the biggest and best fireworks display ever seen in the country. Then for the rest of the night everybody visited amicably and much Blue Beaver Beer was consumed in a responsible fashion.

My internet connection failed to deliver my comments here :(. Well in short I just want to say Happy Canada day and it’s rare for people to celebrate the day solemnly. It’s great of course compared to the loud bang and blast that people here in my country do.
Thanks, Cherry!
