Ok, I'm kind of making this up on the spot, maybe it won't work. But lets try it. You have to come up with the explanation for this statement. Each player can ask one yes or no question. The person who guesses correctly gets to gloat.

Subject: Forbidden Love!
Statement: I just ate a 4 year old Canadian. Why is this forbidden?

Endangered species? <img src=http://lag9.com/biggrin.gif>

No!

Heh, almost hit the "delete thread" link out of habbit due to the title :P

Because eating 4 year old canadians will give you a fatal exception error?

No! Next!

Ok, you can ask more than one question per user, otherwise this will take forever.

Oops, I didn't think about those annoying "New Game" posts.

Statement: I just ate a 4 year old Canadian. Why is this forbidden?

#1 : How do we know he is Canadian.. Is he wearing a Tuke?

#2 : Are Canadians out of season?

#3 : Does this have to do with Canibalism?

Only can answer yes/no.

1) No
2) no
3) no

a) Is a "four year old Canadian" actually a type of food?

b) Is it forbidden because it is against the law?

c) Is it forbidden because it is taboo?

a) yes
b) no
c) yes (be careful...)

4 y/o Canadian what?

Bzzzt! Gotta be a yes/no question.

I didn't see yes or no before...ANSWER ME DAGNABBIT!

LOL, is it Canadian bacon and your Jewish? ;)

Hah! Good answer, but unfortunately no! Sort of on the right track though 4 year old bacon might be hazardous to your health.

I cheated, I spent 2 minutes on Google!

Only things I saw were cheese, whiskey, and 4 y/o children.

You said ate, so it's not whiskey. Most people on the board would flame you to hell if you said you ate a 4 y/o kid since you said it doesn't involve cannibalism

So that leaves cheese.

Are you talking about a 4 y/o canadian cheese?

Yes.

Now... why is it forbidden? :) Good thinking Gamilenka! That's what I would've done too.

> Now... why is it forbidden?

Is it something to do with the WTO's ruling against Canada's dairy program a few years back for violating international trade rules?

The kosher thing got me thinking...is it because its against kosher law to eat dairy and meat together?

You all are cracking me up. You're going to slap your foreheads.

Nope, neither one of those.

Is the cheese a Canadian version of <a href="http://www.portlandmercury.com/2000-09-14/scientific.html" target="top">casu marzu?</a> :-)

I think I'm going to be ill now.... no! Canadian cheddar is very, very yummy and entirely bug-free (i hope).

You're really overcomplicating this, Klath!

> You're really overcomplicating this, Klath!

Don't thwart me, I'm on a roll. The cheese must have been made just prior to Canada's ban on the manufacture of dairy products w/raw milk. Yeah, that's gotta be it. <span style="color:#E6EBD7;">(j/k)

Blessed are the cheese-makers.</span>

Argh!

Ok, I'll give the answer tomorrow if no one has figured it out.

The thing I ate, was a 4 year old Canadian cheese (cheddar, to be exactly).

A reason it was forbidden (it's not, for me anyway) could be a dietary one. I could be on a lowfat diet or watching my cholestrol or something.

I just remember one time I was telling my Mom how I loved this 4-year old Canadian cheddar and she didn't hear the cheddar part and she seemed kind of shocked. We both laughed at that one.

Did he say the cheesemakers will inhereit the earth? Anyone see Life of Brian? Actually, whoever makes this amazing canadian cheddar deserves to inhereit the earth, it's so yummy!

Lies! The real reason is that the shadow governemt, in an act of eccenomic warfare against the Canadians, is attempting to collapse the Canadian dairy industry by blocking access to US markets for their 4 year old cheeses.

The entire movie is indelibly stamped into my brain. Given the topic, I couldn't help reflexively throwing the hidden quote into my previous post.

LOL! You're killing me here, Klath!

So that's it? It's forbidden because of diet? So it's forbidden because someone is lactose intolerant? Oh man, I knew it was something simple, but I didn't think it was silly like that!

utha say cheezes ah forbiddon, they gimme the tummy noises an mah bunnys sound like da moose.

personally, i think it was that the 4 year old cheese was selected to be consumed over the whiskey.... terrible, terrible mistake there.

if you're presented with 3 choices: a kid, a lump of cheese, a snifter of whiskey...

1) you go with the kid. he or she whines about wanting something to eat and you're forced to try to get the cheese, sorry only 1 item per shopper, take your kid outside, it's screaming and annoying.

2) you go with the cheese. wtf? you left a 4 year old kid there with a snifter of whiskey? are you effin mad?

3) whiskey. drink enough, forget about the kid. no cheese or other food in yer stomach, you need less whiskey to forget about the kid. kid's not screaming, cause he or she has got food.

there you have it.

Heh! I see... isn't that like the Goose the Fox and another animal that have to cross the river?

Effin...that's funny.

There's a bar in San Diego called Effin's.

I went there for a bit when I lived there, I've heard it's gone down hill though.
