dont drink the water

so i was watching coachs corner.  not only was don cherry wearing a gold lamé jacket, but he was making quips about vancouvers water situation.

everyone back east:  you are unduly obsessed.

1. yeah, it was brown for a few days... but as bza said, just pretend its iced tea
2. yeah, people punched others out in costco for bottled water.  this merited a lol.
3. NOBODY in vancouver drinks tap water, ok.  the only serious threat was that of no coffee.   shit, tap water?  seriously, do you also think we ride the peasant wagon?

the real problem in vancouver is the snow menace.  and by vancouver, i mean a small radius around sfu.  and by snow menace, i mean A GOOD THREATENING 5 CM.  it looks like a christmas movie out there, and folks, its mayhem!  families in the neighbourhood were locked in for hours waiting for the member of the household with the suburban assault vehicle to return and deliver them to starbucks.

dude, it's snowing here too...
it was awesome last night, but we've still got a good 2cm on the ground. ppl on 12th drive like tools.

and the chinese grocery hasn't had a run on water yet...so GO GET IT! WE'RE GOING TO BE SNOWED IN TWO BLOCKS FROM THE IGA!!!! and if we get stoned, then we have no food! perish the thought!

i don't get what the big deal is about the water....i've been drinking it since the advisory came out and i feel fine. as far as the "snow" is concerned: it is a light dusting, when there's at least a foot and a half on the ground, we'll talk.

Tis true, wasn't a big deal it all, man.

Though, the Cosco debacle reinforces the theory that Vancouver easily riots. Water can now be included with Guns n' Roses and the Vancouver Cancucks for things that make the city loose it.

mega rofl @ bza. vancouver totally loses its shit like that! its all that pent-up aggression from being laid-back all the time (and probably running out of dro).

giovanni, you know this is a snow tragedy to native vancouverites. look at the roads. the idiots are suffering.

aija, please get food. that last sentence just made me panic vicariously and wonder if i can make you gluten free mini burgers a la white castle.
