The horror!


A beer truck flipped over on a roadway overpass in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Monday, prompting local officials to comment on the tragedy.

"It is sad," Capt. Scott Logan of the Halifax Regional Fire Service (search) told The Daily News of Halifax. "Chances are they won't recover any of the beer."

The truck, hauling 46,368 bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (search), skidded to a stop against the overpass's guardrail, luckily avoiding a 50-foot plunge down to another road.

The female driver was pulled out of the cab uninjured â ” "more frazzled than hurt," according to Logan â ” letting rescuers focus on the calamitous aspects of the disaster.

"I had a tear in my eye, actually, when I was watching it," said police Constable Mark Hobeck. "It was full of beer. We were hoping a Hostess truck full of pretzels would come by, but no such luck."

It happened on the road on the way to my office, we were driving along and I yelled out the window in the most obnoxious scottish accent I could muster "GOOD GOD, THE PRIDE OF NOVA SCOTIA SPILT ON THE ROAD"

I'm sure that was the only time they heard somethin like that all day too  ::) ;D
 
Flags at half mast, boys.  :'(

"You're making a neck brace, Jimmy, not a hat. This isn't a fashion show."

all that beer.......... :'(

only way it could have been worse was if it was whiskey or guiness....... :crybaby:
 
oh god that brought a tear to my eye. i cant help but wonder what the Scots man from the commercials would say.
 
"OH I DREAMED OF STANDING IN A LAKE OF BEER, BUT NOT LIKE THIS, NEVER LIKE THIS."
 
Sadly, beer crimes happen all over the world. A buddy of mine in the Netherlands sent me this. The beer is 'Grolsch' with a gutteral 'G' sound. Basically, you pretend you are barfing with you say the word and you should pernounce it right. ;)

Good riddance to that!!!
I've had that piss before,
You don't need to pretend you're barfing if you have one of them while trying to pronounce the name  :-X
 
lol, how true.  :-X But that stuff goes for cheap, so  I got used to the taste.  :blotto:

 
There's a lesson to be learned in all this:

Never, I repeat NEVER leave that much beer in the hands of a woman driver. Disaster is sadly inevitable.
 
Said to the dirver moments before the accident:

"Honey, would you mind heading out and grabbin' me a couple of Keith's, for the boys? If we run dry, I doubt they'll want to stay for the whole game. Haha. I'm headin' back to the Masters. Call me up when you're back."

*kiss on forehead*

"Thanks, doll."

*Heads downstairs to raucous laughter*

*Eye twitch*
 
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will: "Be drunk!"
I will be sloshed,
At home as in the mess.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, The bitter and The lager.
Forever and ever,
Barmen

I am going to hell, it's true.
 
i know this is an old thread but i think this will make it ok


well i guess all of those heard about the terrible accident on the 401 this morning. it is truly sad and devastating to see what kind of disasters can happen with a blink of an eye.

on the 401 a beer store truck got into an accident with a Honda civic. the truck tipped and 2400 cases of beer smashed all over the 401 :'( it is a sad day in toronto for all those planning to stock up this weekend.

so if you would all like to join me for a minute of silence please.

when i heard about it on the radio it said the driver of the Honda was in haspital with none life threatening injuries, i couldn't help but say wait till he gets out.
