·For those who have never seen the original Molson commercial “The Rant” (circa year 2000):
And it’s recent update:
This one isn't so bad either...

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.When I was at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum I had to take care of a female (american) tarantula hawk that was part of the interpretive animal collection. Believe it or not, it was a super friendly wasp! Absolutely loved strawberries and cantaloupe. She would get super excited and active when I came by with it and was never aggressive, but we're talking about a wasp that is fully capable of dragging a full grown paralyzed tarantula across the desert and into a hole (wild and creepy to watch tbh).

··ΩF InvestiGatorInterestingly, Conrad is also said to have been a fighter pilot during WW2 though I've been unable to find out where he served and what he flew.

·Love that museum. It’s a magical place.
I love WA, but there are times I miss the Tucson desert. I drove up Mt. Lemmon a lot, and had some favorite spots to sit amongst the rock outcroppings and read. RE: ASDM, I mostly worked with raptors- Hawks and Owls mostly, but a peregrine, a black vulture as well (missing a wing and loved to sit in your lap while it ate I kid you not). And a number of mammals and reptiles and some insects as well. The IAC does a lot of animal rehabilitation via rescue. It's a worthy cause that is indeed part of a magical place.

·Larry, you've been??? I don't remember discussing this before, are you in Tucson?
We visited the museum the day after the event, before driving on to College Station in Texas for the Texas Shootout…

·I’ve been. It was great! I used to go to an archery tournament in Tucson called the Arizona Cup that was held on the shooting range of the PSE bow company there. This was back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I think they have moved the event to Phoenix now.

That's awesome. Just a bit before my time, but I'm assuming they still did the Harris Hawk show back then? I worked with some of the Hawks that retired from that show, man they have a lot of personality.

·Just because one American speaks nonsense does not mean that we all think/feel/say the same. Most of us love our neighbors to the North, and we think you are doing just fine up there as your own country. We truly don't need more states, in fact, may I suggest a few that we can sell to you at a real bargain price?

·Yeah, but "Canadian bacon" is just ham with a marketing team. I'd take real fatty, streaky, thin cut (American) bacon over that stuff any day😁

No but they might force you to watch endless Ice Hockey until your brain has been reeducated 😀
