I hope no Americans take offense, that isn't the point): -----Original Message-----From:     William Ehgoetz  Sent:    Montag, 1. Juli 2002 14:16Subject:    Hey Hosers! Beer Eh!Importance:    HighHey all you Hosers! Grab your hockey sticks and get out there on the ice to celebrate Canada Day, eh. Be sure to watch out for the Moose, the Canada Geese, the Loons, and definitely be sure to tell me if you spot any Beaver… the national animal of Canada. Since it is summer (Must be a Chinook), that means not much ice in Munich (well perhaps a few of the schicki-micki women I have run into in the bars here) so instead we have put a few brewskis on ice and we intend to crack them open at 5:00 sharp in the Kitchen of M2. Drop by and tip your touques to the nicest nation on Earth (Now you know why they kicked me out!). A few two-fours of Edelstoff are on the menu but unfortunately finding any Canadian Whisky in Lohoff was as difficult as finding a good meal on the Cold Tundra of the Northwest Territories (Those of you from Tuktayuktuk know what I'm talking about).
