  1. Hmm. I've never had one... always thought the food was overpriced (not like the espresso isn't...)
  2. NOT. You're ignoring the fundamental question. Your socialist paradise fleeces visitors. You such horse****.
  3. \ it's better than another political debate
  4. I buy one drink there every 3-4 weeks. Either the novelty has worn off, or the quality has gone way down though, because I don't enjoy it like I did 10 years ago. And no, I don't get those long lines, especially in the morning when you are in a hurry to get to work.
  5. I never said anything of the sort. But just look at the rates, man, they fleece, and worse they nickel and dime you to death - a typical strategy for big government - lots of little taxes, fees and surcharges that add up. http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/ab/jasper/visit/tarifs_fees_E.asp?park=3
  6. We wouldn't need to pay Canadian prices to remedy that.
  7. I can afford it. It's still fleecing. This is a national park, not a goddamn business. It's for all people to enjoy, and your Canuck citizens pay the same prices, do they not? You should be ashamed. I remember a few months ago on this same b-board when people raised bloody hell that Rainier was raising their entrance fee. For $50 I get into any US national park for a year. You guys charge more than double for an annual pass. Pathetic.
  8. It's fleecing, pure and simple. Some cuntry you havethere buddy. Millions of visitors come from around the world to Yellowstone and we don't charge them those kind of prices. You suck.
  9. Last summer I went to Glacier NP AND Waterton Lakes. Glacier was much less expensive and JUST AS nicely run/maintained etc. I guess it's just part of the Canadian mentality to squander money through big gov't and get no real extra ROI for that extra expense. And I'm sorry, but forcing people to pay an extra $8 PER NIGHT to light a goddamn campfire is totally ridiculous.

  11. So, I'm looking into visiting Banff and can't believe how much more expensive it is on all accounts as compared to US national parks. From the daily entry fee of about $18 for a family (for a US park like Yellowstone, you pay one fee of $20 good for a week), to the campgrounds. You even have to pay an extra fee (about $8 PER NIGHT) to light a campfire. WTF?

    Let the dorks have their fun. Not everyone is suited to climb, after all.

    Yes, indeed. I've got a couple of each style - Bordeaux, Burgogne, and Chardonnay. And a couple for cognac, which I use for grappa as well.

    Getting a glass like this makes a difference. I'm not kidding. (It's a Riedel Vinum) The first time I tried scotch neat I thought it tasted like crap. It took a while to get used to.

    it's definitely an acquired taste. I started by drinking blended scotch with ginger-ale, moved-on to cocktails (like a Rob Roy), and finally graduated to drinking it neat. Then I shelled out the $$$ for a good single malt. I'll still go back from time to time and drink blended stuff in strong cocktails when I'm in the mood. the doublewood i have is a single malt. quite a good scotch with out having to pay a whole arm and a leg. gingerale sounds awsome. I am so going to try that. if you do, use a blended scotch (like Johnnie Walker red or black)... unless your single malt is comparable in price...

    you get an answer here. In general, yes, that is true. But new drinkers have to start somewhere. And there are cask-strength single malts that are quite fine, and do need a bit of water. In fact, depending on the reviewer/afficionado, they'll recommend a splash of water for some single malts to "open up the flavor" - not just the cask strength stuff.

    Instead of adding ice, you might try adding a little bit of water. The ice melts and waters down the flavor throughout the drink. If you cut whisky with water its a one-time dilution. don't use tap water though. Another option to try is to drink it neat and sip water periodically to clean your palate. Me, I drink it neat. :-)
  20. Yeah and monkeys will fly out of your ass! :moondance: :moondance:

    So do you like the Laphroaig? Some reviews I've read call it "mediciny" with an "iodine" taste. Bunch of pussies. :-)
