:wakes up covered in Silly String: Awright, who’s the wiseguy? And where’s my Goldschlager? Oh, here it is. Hmm… maybe I’ll just drink it from the bottle. Coldy’s glasses are so _fragile_.

Sheeit, that was the longest beer run I’ve ever been on. So what’s new, kids? Anybody want Canadian beer? It’s probably a bit warm, but it’s better than that Dutch crap **Coldy** has in the fridge. Oh now that’s just great! Who let **Veb** in here? This is gonna be more damaging than the pictures. ---

Dutch crap? _Dutch crap??_ You’ve gotta be kidding me, **Ginger**. Don’t misunderstand me; I’ve got nothing against Canadian beer (this close to the border, I’d better not), but _ **Dutch crap???** _ There’s nothing wrong with Dutch beer! You heathen, you! And warmish beer is OK with me, FTR…as long as it’s not American macro-brew, that is.
