I have a 4-day weekend due to Canada having its Thanksgiving right now
I'll be posting in various states of intoxication, stupor, and un/consciousness.

Fair warning. :P

9. Last night started with a hockey game, cognac and doobage
Montreal lost 2-3 to Toronto, the cognac was Pierre Ferrand Grand Cru, and the doobage was Pamplemousse, one of the *interesting* hybrids from the medicinal MJ dispensary.

Tonight's program has not been announced, but there's a fair chance it will involve vodka. :P

2. I find it odd that the Canadian states are allowed by our government to have
different and confusing holidays. Just try and assimilate into our society!!

:P

3. I don't get it - why does Canada have a Thanksgiving? They're not even Americans...
;)

11. Having it in October, for starters
Also, the Montreal Alouettes (CFL football) are inexplicably playing on Monday instead of yesterday, or today, or the weekend.

8. I have to woik through Saturday
in an office of engineers and contractors working for a Canadian pipeline company. We don't get the days off, but they do. I'm guessing they'll all be at Tim Horton's.

:P

12. Tim's is a good guess
No turkey there, though, unless it's sandwiches, so I'm not sure what they'll do the rest of the day. :P

14. I've never even been in Canada,
but I know about Tim Horton's (and Pizza Pizza) because I was married to a Canadian (Newfie, originally) for about 8 years :)

Bob & Doug go to Tim Horton's, too, I think...

15. Tim Horton's has awesome donuts, and their coffee is always fresh
The one closest to my house is smack in the middle of the gay village, and it's open 24x7. It's saved me from the late-night munchies more than once. :P
