lol, Especially if you were living in remote Saskatchewan where the prairie winters are long, dreary and wicked. You  needed the beard to keep your chin warm, a parka to keep your body warm, and lots of white lightning to forget it's really that frigging cold (remember Frijid Pink?). And of course,  going home with the gang to watch Monty Python after the last call at Sask Hotel. I had good memories of Saskatchewan. Good people, met the best people and made the best friends ever... long gone now ,sadly.

btw Keith,  what is this thread  about? (still confused by your title).
