-- I edited too, eh! -- Doug McKenzie, the other Editor
Bob | Okay, good day, I'm Bob McKenzie, this is my brother Doug. |
---|---|
Doug | How's it goin', eh? |
Bob | It's goin' pretty good, cause this is our hundredth issue of The Hoser! |
Doug | So good day, and welcome to our hundredth issue! |
Bob | Yeah, join the party! We got chips and corn and beer, eh! |
Doug | And backbacon. |
Bob | That reminds me, I gotta get the stove started. |
Doug | Geez, don't forget! Remember folks, only run your propane powered stoves outdoors or where there's sufficient ventilation. |
Bob | Yeah, safety first. (He starts the stove. Clearly they're in their basement.) |
Doug | Oh, we got beer, too! |
Bob | Don't forget the beer, eh! |
Doug | We almost did. |
Bob | Geez. |
Doug | So this is our hundredth issue celebration. |
Bob | Yeah, look at all the people here! (They look around and see they're alone.) Okay! |
Doug | Beauty. No one else showed up, so more beer and backbacon and chips and popcorn for us, eh! |
Bob | That's what happens when you don't invite anyone else, I guess. |
Doug | I didn't even want to invite you, eh! |
Bob | Take off! (Pauses.) Hey! |
Doug | What? |
Bob | You know what we coulda done? |
Doug | What's that? |
Bob | We coulda got a hundred beers and drank one for each of the hundred issues of The Hoser that we've written! |
Doug | What, one hundred each? |
Bob | Okay, maybe not one hundred each. Fifty each. |
Doug | Oh, that woulda been great. |
Bob | On further thought, forget it! |
Doug | Wha? Why?! |
Bob | We couldn't do it anyway. We'd need one hundred beers but there's no way to get that since all the cases are multiples of six, eh! |
Doug | Yeah, so six plus four times twenty-four... uh... |
Bob | That don't work. That's 102. One hundred ain't divisible by six cause it's a prime number, or something. |
Doug | Aw no! |
Bob | The closest is to get the four two-fours for ninety-six beers. But then there's four missing, eh! |
Doug | Aw, so we shoulda had this celebration four months ago for the ninety-six issues of The Hoser! The fourth case worth of Hoserness! |
Bob | Or in twenty more months for the... uh... 120th issue! |
Doug | Okay, clearly we haven't had enough beer if we're still able to do the math in our heads, eh! |
Bob | Yeah, but counting by six is easy. |
Doug | I wonder why, eh? |
Bob | Okay. Well let's get started on the one hundred beers then. |
Doug | (Looks at case.) I think we're gonna have to send out for more. (He removes two of the last beers in the case.) |
Bob | Shoulda got a keg. |
Doug | Yeah, well you'd be drinking directly from it and be unconscious on the floor by midnight. |
Bob | Take off. That wasn't me, that was you. |
Doug | No way, eh! I wasn't unconscious till at least 2:30. |
Bob | Hoser. |
Doug | Besides, kegs aren't a perfect number of cases anyway. It's like seven and a half, or something. |
Bob | I guess kegs are prime numbers, too. Prime the keg! |
Doug | Beauty. Cheers, eh! (He opens two and hands one to Bob.) |
Bob | Yeah, cheers for the beers! |
Doug | Okay, now we should reenact the best parts of all our previous issues! |
Bob | We're sittin' here drinking beer and eatin' food, this is the best part! |
Doug | Oh, right, eh! |
Bob | I just thought of something! |
Doug | That's a first. |
Bob | No... Take off! |
Doug | SNORK! |
Bob | Hoser. I just realized we coulda got three two-fours and one of those new cases where the bottles are oval shaped or something so they can fit twenty-eight beers in them, eh! |
Doug | A two-eight? |
Bob | Yeah! Three... seventy-two. Plus twenty-eight is one hundred! |
Doug | "Two-eight" don't sound right. Besides, aren't those only American beers? |
Bob | Naw, they're starting to put Canadian ones in there, too. |
Doug | Maybe its one of those Canadian beer companies not owned by Canadians, or something. |
Bob | Could be. But a case of two-eight is like forty bucks, eh? |
Doug | Aw man. Well so much for that plan. We'll have another party when we get to 120 issues of The Hoser. Then we only need uh... |
Bob | Five. |
Doug | I was gonna say that. Five cases of two-four, for our 120th issue! |
Bob | Beauty. And now we're out of space. See you then, eh! |
Doug | No, take off! See you next month! |
Bob | Oh yeah! Good day. |
Doug | Good day, eh! |
