History in the Making

You are witnessing, Ladies and Gentlemen, a defining moment in Canadian History.

*click to biggie*

Although I'm sure the purists are *cringing* I can only lay the whole horrifying ice-cubes-in-the-beer thing on my friend Shari. She says it's some sort of Ontario thing but I'm pretty sure it's just a personal erm.. quirk and she's spreading her insanity across the country.

One the left, behold, the famous Kokanee beer. ("Fresh as a Mountain Stream. But Without the Moose Backwash.")

As a little side note here, the Kokanee is actually a species of freshwater salmon and back when I worked for the Fish & Wildlife Branch of the Ministry of Environment we (really did) have signs posted out in the wilderness that said, "It Is Illegal to Molest Spawning Kokanee". Really.

Second side note: this can actually belonged in Yeti's Care Package (each can has a teeny little Sasquatch climbing one of the mountains or snowboarding down), bound for Australia, but hey, I'm packing and wanted a cold beer. So, yeah, sorry. I'll get you another one, I promise.

On the right, is ma'beer. With ice.

That funny looking BROWN ice cube there? Well, that there is a Tim Horton's COFFEE ice cube!

A TIMBEER!

The best of both worlds. Two of the most beloved Canadian icons blended lovingly into one supercalifragilisticexpifreakingalidocious taste sensation. You are looking at the soul of Canada, people.

Am I a freaking genius, or what?
