Now what’s interesting is that everybody complains that gas stations all increase their prices just before the long week-end.  Ask any consumer and they will tell you it’s a huge conspiracy; but any oil company executive will tell you it’s just simply the law of supply and demand.  Regardless of the fact that these evil scum-dogs are always lying, I couldn’t help but notice that the gas price did not increase (at least around the parts) last week-end.  However, as I was driving home from work yesterday (Friday) I discovered that the price had risen by 4 cents per litre.

I thought that it was quite odd that the price would go up after the long week-end; but then I suddenly realized that Friday was Independence Day down south of the border.  Thus it is a long week-end for our American neighbours.  So in other words it is a huge conspiracy, it’s just that the evil American scum-dogs are in charge of it.

But I won’t hold that against all of the fine upstanding people down there who are also suffering from the effects of the aforementioned conspiracy.  I will raise a Blue Beaver Beer and salute you as you celebrate the anniversary of the day that Will Smith saved the country from the alien invaders who tried to destroy everything.  Have a great long week-end everyone.

I had to take a long hot shower before sitting down to write this.  I was covered with campfire-smoke, Off (mosquito repellent), sunscreen, weasel hair, cheese from Tim’s exploding smokies, and a variety of other unidentifiable grime and grease.  Fortunately, that can of beans I had for supper last night has finally worked it’s way out of my system.

In case any of our foreign Beer Buddies aren’t aware, Canada Day is a celebration of the day The Great Gretzky comes up from his fabled home in L.A. and gives hockey sticks to all the children who have been good throughout the year.  If they’ve been bad they only get a hockey puck in their stocking.  We leave out Big Mac’s and 7-Up for him to eat and some people will even leave out his rookie card in hopes that he might sign it.

Of course you could read about the “real” origin of Canada Day, but my reality is for more exciting.  Now if you’ll excuse me I have to slowly wean myself back to a mere six-pack of Blue Beaver before the week-end.  To all of our fellow Canadian Beer Buddies out there (you know who the four of you are), “Take off, eh!”
