Subject: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Aug 06 - 09:56 PM We did, eh? And we're proud of it. 'Twas back in 1812-1814 when the damned Yankees tried to invade the True North Strong and Free. We drove the bastards back with showers of iceballs that had been stockpiled for just such an eventuality, and to top it off we got 'em somethin' fierce with wicked noogies! That fixed 'em. Matter of fact, that's why some Americans are soreheads to this day. It was the noogies, eh? And you notice they ain't been back since... The dreaded Noogie Don't misunderestimate us, cos we got more where those came from! |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 09:00 AM And fibs!! British Major General Isaac Brock sent false correspondence and allowed it to be captured by the Americans, saying they required only 5,000 Native warriors to capture Detroit. Lies! Canada used lies!! It wouldn't have taken anywhere near that many to capture Detroit! Besides, if Macdonnell hadn't suruptiously and underhandedly rallied the Canadian and British troops you'd all be speaking with a Texas drawl and voting Republican!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 09:20 AM But we're gonna fix Canada good! You know all those wind farms? Well, they aren't there just to produce electricity. No sirree bob-tail! Those fans are ALSO blowing all the hot air from Washington DeeCee and fifty state capitols and two major political parties into Canada!! This will cause the Arctic ice to melt and plop into the ocean and the resulting tidal wave will wash Canada into Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Yawk, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Why fight for it when you can wash it ashore? |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: ranger1 Date: 28 Aug 06 - 09:27 AM Yes, well, in the bloodless Aroostook war, our side threw potatoes at your side. The only reason it was bloodless was because potatoes have no sharp edges and merely raise wicked lumps and bruises. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 09:30 AM And the US threw mashed potatoes so that no one would even be bruised. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: ranger1 Date: 28 Aug 06 - 09:34 AM Rap, Aroostook is in Maine, and last I knew, we were part of the US. I was aiming my comment at Little Hawk. |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Metchosin Date: 28 Aug 06 - 10:18 AM And thanks to Kaiser Bill, on the west coast, the US even got to enjoy bacon with it's potatoes and the only thing that was was killed was the pig. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 11:24 AM You don't have to aim to hit LH. Just sort of chuck a potato northwards and a little west from Maine. Oh, wait. Everything's west from Maine.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 06 - 04:07 PM Yes, keep your eyes peeled to the west. Watch those Uppity Canadians like a hawk. We in Atlantic Canada are docile and there is no need to be concerned about us. As a matter of fact, care to join us for tea? We have a lovely service aquired during the early 1800's at a very reasonable price that we are just burning to show off. |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 04:49 PM Yeah, they call 'em Ontarians for for damned good reasons, you know. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: number 6 Date: 28 Aug 06 - 04:52 PM Upper Canadians is the proper term for 'Ontarians' Rapaire ... here in the Maritimes we call them Uppity Canadians. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 05:00 PM So folks living everywhere else in Canada are Low Life Canadians? |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 06 - 05:18 PM Rap... not quite. Our country extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic Ocean to the US... that country from which we took the tea service in the Big War. So, we gotter Upper and Lower and Atlanic and Western and Lotus Land, and several Northerns. |

From: Willie-O Date: 28 Aug 06 - 05:19 PM "You won't sell off our resources, or the urine from our horses That they use to make that dirty rotten Yankee beer..." -Washboard Hank, Stompin' Tom For Prime Minister ...and there's a reason they call it Blind River, eh! W-O |

From: Bill D Date: 28 Aug 06 - 06:05 PM " Yer American beer is what is left of our beer after it's gone through the sistem and come out the other flippin' END!" Yep...two horses per bottle We knew, way back then, how to use resources. Now it's hard to get hold of horses who can hit the bottle opening. |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 06 - 06:10 PM Yo, BS... yer welcome to come over to Salmon River, New Brunswick (I mean the one in Kent County on accounta we got three Salmon Rivers in NB), and me and the boys will show youse how some real gentlemen drink. If ye can keep up to us drinking at night AND be on deck in the morning, ready, willing and able to put in a full day's hard labour, I'll call you sir. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 28 Aug 06 - 06:56 PM Hey, Shane. You're a punk drunk, ya know that? You drink Molson and think it's real beer -- try Bitch Creek or Cutthroat or Dead Guy Ale sometime. Better yet, try some REAL liquor, like real men drink -- and I don't mean that pisswater Canadian Club, either! |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Old Guy Date: 29 Aug 06 - 12:59 AM The Tukkuthkutchinians used MIRVs |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Peace Date: 29 Aug 06 - 01:01 AM The Tuktoyaktukians used harpoons. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Old Guy Date: 29 Aug 06 - 01:30 AM Damn I wish I could find some Kokanee Glacier beer like I got up in Atlin around here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Peace Date: 29 Aug 06 - 01:35 AM This site's for you, OG. Here ya go. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: gnu Date: 29 Aug 06 - 06:18 AM Made from glacier water, eh. Does it have a wild and wooly mammoth of a taste? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 29 Aug 06 - 09:01 AM 'S good beer. I haven't found any locally-brewed BAD beer since I moved to Idaho (there are, of course, some I don't care for). Not like that ditchwater Shane drinks.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: ranger1 Date: 29 Aug 06 - 11:59 AM Hmm...can't help but notice that the guy who started this thread is no where to be seen. Must've got him with that potato I chuck in a sort of northwestish direction. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Old Guy Date: 29 Aug 06 - 12:09 PM Try some Turbodog from New Orleans. That'l put some hair on yer chest lad. It'l make ditchwater taste like sody pop. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Bill D Date: 29 Aug 06 - 12:48 PM New Orleans hasn't had beer since Jax went out of business...and IT wasn't good beer. (The ultimate in sour, flat, bile-in-a-bottle was "Golden Eagle Lager" from India. I'd swear there was a line on two pulleys that dipped the bottles into the sacred waters of the Ganges, then squirted a bit of alcohol in them....yuuccchhh!) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Old Guy Date: 29 Aug 06 - 01:29 PM It is made elsewhere in La but touted as being from New Orleans. I didn't say it was good beer. You could probably tan deer hides with it but it is interesting and it's fun to hand one to somebody and watch their expression when they taste it. New Orleanians used bottles of warm Turbodog to cause mass destruction. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Bill D Date: 29 Aug 06 - 01:37 PM "...it's fun to hand one to somebody and watch their expression when they taste it." I'd not stand too close when having THAT sort of 'fun'....and I'd make sure it was in a paper cup. I prefer to hand them a bottle of Dogfishhead IPA, and watch expressions of delight. |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 29 Aug 06 - 03:57 PM You guys never had Lucky Lager, I take it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: gnu Date: 29 Aug 06 - 04:01 PM How odd that a thread about Canuck iceballs and noogies turned into a thread about beer. I suppose, after enough beer, it will turn into a thread about coffee and doughnuts. |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Peace Date: 29 Aug 06 - 04:02 PM Tim Horton's. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Old Guy Date: 30 Aug 06 - 12:30 AM The Canandians used Doughnut launchers to wreak havoc on the enemy. They died of a cholesterol overdose. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 30 Aug 06 - 08:59 AM Why is there no Tim Horton's in Pocatello, Idaho? Do we not drink coffee and eat doughnuts? If you prick us do we not bleed? Are we not just a few hundred miles from the Canadian border? Don't we too get snow and cold and ice and blizzards? Are we not located in the mountains? Do we not grow potatoes and barley and wheat and lentils and stuff? So why is there no Tim Horton's? Don't make me come up there and put a curse on you guys! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: gnu Date: 30 Aug 06 - 02:23 PM A curse? Already done... Tim's. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 30 Aug 06 - 02:57 PM We don't even have a Dunkin' Donuts! Until a few weeks ago we didn't even have a Starbucks! Are we to be benighted forever? A blot upon the escutcheon of the Pacific Northwest? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: number 6 Date: 30 Aug 06 - 03:12 PM Quite your whining and eat a baked potato Rapaire ... but wouldn't it be nice to finish it off with a good cup of coffee and a buttermilk donut. sIx |

Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Bardford Date: 30 Aug 06 - 03:48 PM Lucky Lager. That stuff makes your eyes burn. Least the American version used to. We have Lucky on this (north) side of the line, but it's different. My uncle used to rodeo down in Montana, and married a Eureka gal. He had a horse called Lucky. I always thought he named him after the beer. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 31 Aug 06 - 12:51 AM Also, to bring this thread back to its original track - I'm pretty sure that when my rodeoin' uncle competed in the steer wrestling, he often used a variation on the noogie technique. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Rapparee Date: 31 Aug 06 - 08:53 AM Did you know that steer wrestling was originally called "bulldoggin" and was "invented" by a black kid named Bill Pickett? That his original technique was to bite the steer on the lip (like a bulldog) and toss the animal that way, without using his hands? Did you know that Bill Pickett wasn't Canadian, but that Canadians became pre-eminent in the sport until the rules were changed and you were required to use your hands and were no longer allowed to kiss the cows? Betcha didn't. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Canada used iceballs and noogies! From: Bardford Date: 01 Sep 06 - 03:39 PM I knew that it was called bulldoggin', but had no idea who come up with the idea, or the original methodology. I imagine there is still a whole lotta cow-kissin' going on, just no prizes or day money in it... They've also recently changed calf-roping to 'tie-down roping'. So does Lucky still make your eyes burn? |
