I started a joke, which started the whole thread crying.

No, the latter produces five pages of nothing but the letter K.
A couple hundred klicks east of YK, the muskeg thawed and built up a lot of methane. A solitary Inuit hunter stopped in the area to have a cigarette. The explosion was unthinkably enormous. Canada was totally effaced. The isn’t anything left. Noneofit.
Go to Saskatoon then turn left. That usually works to derail almost any thread.
Is this going to Saskatoon from the north or the south?
Have you ever been to Saskatchewan? Which way you turn does not matter. There is nothing in any direction, anywhere. There is a reason Bugs Bunny went to Albuquerque to fuck up his directions. At least there is something there.
Eh? As long as you don’t say this about Nebraska we’re good.
As @eschereal says, from Saskatoon it doesn’t matter.
One of our long-time posters is/was from Saskatoon. IIRC it was @Gorsnak although I see he hasn’t filled in the location in his Discourse user page.
Funny business always involves Saskatoon somehow.
As someone from Regina, truer words were never spoken.
There’s a location field in Discourse? I hadn’t noticed.
However, it absolutely does matter which way you turn. You’ll only get to chastise @Sam_Stone for derailing the thread if you’re going North when you turn left at Saskatoon.
If you think for one minute that Budweiser would allow a different recipe to be brewed in Canada than any of their other breweries, you probably don’t understand much about beer. Budweiser spends a whole lot of money to make sure the Bud (or Bud Light, or Michelob or even Natural Ice) that you buy in Canada, St. Louis, Houston, Italy, or even Russia all taste EXACTLY the same, as much as modern science can insure. To suggest that local facilities have the autonomy to modify the recipe of a worldwide brand to suit local preferences throws millions of dollars invested in branding out the window. Maybe in a small brewery. By InBev? Not a chance.
In my experience, the USA’s craft beer market is more vibrant than anywhere else I’ve been. I’ll admit, lately it seems to be an IPA market, but that is not accurate. Yeah, most local breweries will have 5 types of IPAs, but most anywhere in the US you can find a local (regional) brewery that offers their own version of a Stout, Pale Ale, IPA, Wheat Beer, lager, as well as seasonal offerings. Most (if not all) of the Canadian, European, Asian, or South American cities I’ve been to, while they all have their own local beers, they don’t have the variety you find in even small-town USA.
As for Canadian beer goes, explain Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale.
Having driven across both… Nebraska is definitely more interesting. But that’s kind of like saying corn is more interesting than wheat. It may be on some level, but it’s a really low bar to clear.
I am reminded of the cartoon of the lad whose head is barely higher than a barstool pleading for daddy to come home, captioned “he stood by his father’s beer and wept”
This is true. Nebraska’s landscape beauty is subtle and an acquired taste. We try to keep this quiet so we can have it to ourselves, none of those big city nabobs blocking our view.
Let us know when you’re coming by and we’ll throw a steak on the grill for you, frosty microbrew from down the street served along side. If you’re going to want tomato juice in yours, bring your own. Waste of a perfectly good beer.
That’s so subtle it’s beautiful. Thanks for the laugh.
I remember one time we took the road from Junction City to Lincoln, and crossing the border was almost jarring. I mean, Kansas looked so nicely groomed, almost like some kind of park. Nebraska, by contrast, looked like people lived there.
You came through Lincoln and didn’t say ‘hi’? You should be ashamed of yourself. No steak and beer for you next time.
P.S. I would have gotten the hell out of Kansas too.
Pretty sure you got whooshed.
When I was at Indiana University, I had a friend who had a dog named Kansas. I told her she ought to take him for a drive out to Toto, Indiana, so that when they left, she could say “Gosh Kansas, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Toto anymore.”

She didn’t laugh either.
Yeah…only if the nuts have independent agency.
