Strike Three!!

The Barking Cows played a double header last night, we lost the first game and won the second. I had a strike out in each game, this would not bother me overly much except for the fact that on our team if you strike out you buy a case of beer for the tournament.

We have a beer cooler at every game and we pay $2.50 a beer (or two for $5.00 wink wink). At the year end tournament (which is this weekend) we drink for free. We do our best to empty the cooler of the seasons beer and we drink the strike out beer.

A case of beer here in Canada is costly. I don't know if I can afford to play anymore. Of course when I buy my strike out beer I can buy what ever kind I like can afford, instead of the CANADIAN, it's like Budweiser, Yuck, only good if the beer is almost frozen and it is 105F outside, the beer cooler is usually full of it.

The beer lingo here in Canada is a bit different than in the States let me fill you in a bit. As an American I would call a 24pack of beer a case. What Canadians call a 'case' is actually a 12 pack in American lingo. A Canadian would call a 24 pack of beer a 'flat'. A Canadian would never put an 's' on the end of the word beer. You can have 12 beer or one beer. In the States I would order 2 beers or 12 beers, depending on how thirsty I was.

Also just a little tidbit on beer cost. A four pack of Guinness will cost me about $14.00. A case of Canadian (12pack) will cost me about $16.00.

This whole beer thing is working for me now I want a cold one instead of chocolate.
