Republicanism is enough to drive anyone to drink. Even to Canada.

Mark, I meant to contact you back when I first saw this ad.

Back when Bertie, then POW, was touring the US in 20’s, your one-time king-for-ten months composed the following doggerel:

Four and twenty Yankees feeling mighty dry
went across the border to get a drink of rye!
When the rye was open the Yanks began to sing
“God bless America, but God Save the King!”

I’m a Crown Royal man myself

I don’t think it’s irrelevant – CC are trying to make a virtue out of their rubbishness, at the same time as trying to depict themselves as stylishly anti-stylish.

I do it all the time.

It may be irrelevant, but can i just point out that Canadian Club is actually a pretty rubbish whisky?

Good point, Mr.Simpson. My dad is 65 and he recently ran his 27th marathon. During his youth, he served as a military aid in Vietnam, and he fought in the 1980s in Mozambique as liutenant-colonel in the U.N peace troops. He smokes thick cigars, drinks whiskey on the rocks, and grew up in a World where boys weared pants and girls weared skirts adn there was no gender confusion whatsoever. Dads over age 55 are the last real men left. When the last one of them dies, all there will be left are women and pseudo-males. Freud did say once that dads are the ultimate figures of masculinity, and he was right.
