apuszczalowski Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Corner Gas? I figured I would try to see if I could catch anyone with that one, really, what else is in Saskatoon, let alone the entire province of Saskatchewan?
JoeFerguson Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Ok, here is a true story about Saskatoon: Back in 1999 or 2000, a kid I knew from my home town met a girl from Saskatoon on the internet. At the time he was only 16 and she was 15. A few months of internet love transpired, and the kid I knew decided that he was in love. On the last day of school he told his parents he was going to sleep over at a friend's house. With $200 in cash and his parents car, he drove from Moutain Top, PA to Saskatoon. The border patrol let him in to Canada without a hitch. He meets up with his Saskatoonian girl and bones her a few times. Then he tries to drive her back to Mountain Top. When he gets to the border he is detained (the mother called and said her daughter was kidnapped). They threaten him with kidnapping charges but in the end just tell him to drive back home because he is a minor. Upon returning he has one doozy of a story to tell all his friends, not to mention the major fallout and punishment from his parents. Flash forward a few months later: He convinces his parents and her parents that it's a good idea for this girl to fly to visit him for Christmas. This is the moment we've all been waiting for, we get to meet the girl that was worth a drive to Saskatoon. As it turns out this girl was not very attractive to say the least. On top of that she had a terrible personality. Not worth a 10 mile drive, and this poor kid wasted a 2000 mile drive on her. I'm pretty sure these days this kid is a high school teacher.
Bullpen Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Is there a Dave and Busters there? Maybe Applebees? Don't order anything with bacon though, they'll just give you discs of ham and tell you it's bacon. Fuggers.

The Dean Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Ask Burton or Randy: Seriously, though, I'm guessing you find some killer bars and (basic) restaurants in Saskatoon. Dunno why, but my gut tells me that's eating and drinking country.
Chef Jim Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'm heading to Saskatoon for a conference and I'm wondering where I should eat. Hey, how long are you going to be there?
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Can I ask what sort of conference would be in Saskatoon in March? Snowmobile salesmen? Ice fishing gear? mosquito nets?

Beerball Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I'm heading to Saskatoon for a conference and I'm wondering where I should eat. Try the moose lips marinated in raspberry vinaigrette.

VABills Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 What's a Saskatoon? Your company obviously doesn't like you. Take the hint and go skiing in Vermont for the season.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I'd tell you but you need to say Saskatchewan (sp) three times real quick.....Are you kidding me? Ya... What gives? You'd think Saskatoon would be the capital? But, Regina is...
