Feed Dump: Take a Body Break with a Beaver

[Scars Unseen]

I would just like to say that I used to be stationed at Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota, and Winnipeg is a place that people went to on the weekends to have fun.

Be thankful, we Americans could have given you the Canadian equivalent of Jersey Shore, but we decided to have mercy. You hosers got off easy.

 

[leviadragon99]

Yeah, I have no sympathy for anyone that'd participate in a silent auction in absentia without setting an upper limit on their bidding.

The saddest part about that story is that the girl is going to jail for resisting arrest and assaulting an officer..

Stay in Canada, Canadians. You don't want to be here..

 

[Wolf Hagen]

Canada isn't that Boring (in my mind), you got more then forest! You got Forests, Rocks, more Forests, more Rocks and water.

And note to self: Everything in the US has a badge, but no uniform. Criminals might think about getting Badges. ;D

Good news! From the most recent news story I could find online:
"Prosecutors dropped all the charges ... noting that her written account of the incident was factually consistent."

I'm going to have to clarify for you guys on that sparkling water. I'm getting reports from Gawker that it was LaCroix sparkling water a drink I can only refer to as the most 80s Miami gay bar of sparkling waters.

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

Look out she's got a 12-pack of water!
bang bang pew pew pew.

seriously, that sounds a bit over the top, even if she actually had a 12-pack of beer.

"Over the top" sounds like exactly what you would expect from liquor control agents who go armed to their jobs. I mean, when in the hell are you going to need a gun? The worst (likely) thing that could happen is someone assaults one of the agents, in which case either (a) they could have some pepper spray or a TASER or (b) the five other people could jump in and beat them into submission.

Did the agents apologize for shooting at her?

Monday? The best you could come up with was Monday! At least trot out a horrible French accent for Bastille Day.

I concur. Vive le quatorze juillet!

I mean FFS, the French bistro up the street from us is having a Bastille Day celebration, and I live in Minnesota.

Is the Calgary Stampede still a thing? People running through that would be some sadistic entertainment... That's what the amazing race is about right?

I think "Hot Beaver Action 13" may be a real porn......let me check.....

I couldn't find the answer, too hard to find...but I'm pretty sure that porno exists.

Pretty sure it's just a redubbed discovery channel documentary about... beavers...

*shakes head*

Sorry, my mind went to an odd place for a sec.

All of the Amazing Race challenges are based on the local culture. Canada has no culture, just watered down versions of American Culture. What sort of challenges can they do besides milkign[sic] moose and refusing to speak one language?

This is like saying Sweden has no culture since 89% of them speak English and they watch a lot of American television. You really need to get out more.

 

[Evil Smurf]

American news makes me feel better about myself. Anyway:

[LadyRhian]

I am sure it says very bad things about me that I missed the "a" in the title and read "Take a body break with beaver" and my first reaction was "Another Sex story?"

 

[Mayamellissa]

I freaking nearly did a spit take at the end of the episode when Kathleen said "f***er"...

 

[Alar]

Oh god, why haven't I been watchng this befoe now? Love it.

Now I've just got "BODY BREAK!" stuck in my head... and that one unfortunate looking daughter's face. ... That was mean I know.

I want Joanne in her pink or purple velour tracksuit THE ENTIRE TIME. PLEASE. And Hal in his blue one.

Yes, yes! Give in... GIVE IN! And don't forget to join us for Desert Bus in November!

 

[Rorro]

Wait, wait, wait... So your NOT an accounting firm Loading, Ready, Run? I call foul! What gives?

Wait, I thought Sweden had its own language.

Swedish.

Or is this that sarcasm thing I've been hearing of from time to time?

 

[The Random One]

Ah, yes, the police. One of the most dangerous, well-organized, highly-armed gangs. They make great fundraisers though.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

The thing that makes the US version of the Amazing Race hilarious to watch is they find some of the most competitive, and at the same time, socially retarded individuals from a country renowned for the depths of idiocy found in its lower percentiles then send them to countries with strong stereotypes and film them getting all patronising to poor africans/indians or whatever other aboriginal people they can find to agree to allow them to participate. The they make them compete for $1,000,000 while driving with a manual-geared version of whatever car company is sponsoring them.

The key thing is using the low bar to pick your contestants... Is Canadas low bar low enough to be entertaining?

Yeah, it's just not the Amazing Race without highstrung American tourists saying racially/culturally insensitive things to people and criticising taxi drivers from foreign countries about their deficiencies in English.

Even if the Canadian version of The Amazing Race had exotic travel, I think it would be a slow race to watch. Primarily because like most civilized peoples Canadians apologize when they bump into people or cut infront of others at airports to grab a taxi. Whereas American Amazing Racers ... if they bowl over people, they just keep on going ahead without stopping and just edit the footage out.
