Hey Bandy boy, Johny, and Coach...time to wag the ladies over at Scally's!
It's German lager from the night shop. It's okay. But then again, which beer isn't after 6 of them?
They're 1/2 litres.
Well... besides US beer, we all know what Monty Python said about American beer...

Originally posted by jimslyp69I saw that show, terrifying conditions. What a way to make money. The episode I saw had one young Canuk get a traffic ticket for doing something like 25 Kliks on a 15 klick road, something like that. The fine was, he was kicked out of a job. Lost his ice license. He was real bummed out, first offense too. Seemed a bit harsh. But thats the real world for ya.

They have to go slow because the weight of the truck actually makes the ice sink, so just like a ship going through water, the truck will create a plow wave of water in front of it as the ice presses down from the weight of the truck. When they get close to shore, the water wave will crash on shore and actually explode the ice from underneath, ruining the road and potentially sinking the truck and closing the road for everyone else.
