Free Cabin Fever Toque with DVD

[phronk]

Well hello there. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, so as a public service announcement, I'd like to point out that Future Shop is giving away free Cabin Fever toques with the purchase of the DVD. I don't know if this is in-store or only online (I ordered online), or if it's available at other stores, but it's pretty friggin sweet. It's "while supplies last" so order it NOW. Oh yeah, their address is http://www.futureshop.ca , and I'm not sure if they ship to anywhere other than Canada (but hey, only Canadians need toques anyway right?).

What's a toque?

[Meatrack]

You beat me to it. What the Hell is it?

[Floydian Trip]

A one-hitter?

[Floydian Trip]

That's a skull cap. WHy would they be giving away Dragonball Z caps for the Cabin Fever DVD?

[Rawhead Rotten]

And why the frig would someone come here talking about buying a Cabin Fever dvd from another site when CC has Evilshop?

(Sorry, freebies or no, that just sucks.)

[Floydian Trip]

The CC should give away Cabin Fever one-hitters with each purchase.

Oh, you mean a toboggan.

A toboggan is a sled...a rather large one at that.

That be a beanie damn it.

[Doug]

If I buy a DragonBall Z DVD, do I get a hat with the Cabin Fever logo on it?
Cause that would make me the coolest kid on the block.

[Addix]

ok wtf? Why would The Simple Life get a DVD release? Did anyone even watch that stupid crap? Ugh. Meanwhile I have yet to hear anything about DVD releases for Dead Like Me (bite me...I love that show) or Carnivale. This is a sad society we live in. God I hate reality TV.[/rant]

[Floydian Trip]

I want Carnivale.

Maybe the toque is the turbin not the skull cap.

A beanie has a propeller on top. Maybe you're thinking of a yarmulke?

The word you're all searching for is head condom.

I could swear that when I was growing up in NY, these were just called "hats". It was after I crossed the Mason-Dixon line that I started hearing strange names for them. *shrugs*

Like Texans wear anything other than Stetsons and oil refinery hard hats....

[Mr. Freeze]

I guess that's why Futureshop is offering these. Only the Canadians know what a toque is. That's funny though ... if a toque is a skull cap ... what do you can an actual skull cap?

[Addix]

Ok, isn't a skull cap one of those things that clowns wear so they look bald?

I think that's called a zamboni.

I may be a girl, but that doesn't mean I didn't grow up watching hockey.

[Floydian Trip]

And I thought a beanie, no offense here, was what the Jewish caps were called.

Me too. I've always wanted to take one of those off someone's head and throw it like a frisbie.

NO OFFENSE to the Jewish culture or anything...

It's just, I see those, and...I can't resist the urge.

[Meatrack]

Where I live that kind of hat is called a Snookie - leave me alone I'm from western PA.

I can't get over how they NEVER FALL OFF. It's like they're hold on by the adhesive power of God himself.

[lllhouselll]

FUTURE SHOP DOESNT DELIVER TO THE US!

[Floydian Trip]

Heh, the adhesive power of God himself. Good one ST.

EDIT

Got names wrong.

[Floydian Trip]

So what are beanies? Skullcaps?

[bunnymud V2]

ZAMBONI'S DON'T FUCKING RUN!!!!!!

[Eyebulb - Head of Obfuscation]

Yeah, it's called a toque. I'm wearing one right now. Perhaps when I want to re-evaluate my life I can try calling it a skull cap, but not yet.

[i3ullseye]

Stocking cap?

Knit cap?

Hat?

hello? They ccertainly are not a Yarmulka because a Yarmulka isn't warm. Skul caps are normally hard, like Merlin in Excalibur wore.

I think someone was unhappy hockey seasonw as over and decided to fire one up. So any word they couldn't find right away in their frazzled short term memory was henceforth referred to as a toque.

[billylove]

How on God's green earth did a toboggan end up being called a beanie?

BTW, this is one of the funniest threads I heave read in a while.

Just to clear up some confusion:

Jewish hats are called Yamakas. They never fall of because they are bobby pinned to the hair on said persons head.


I wish my friend had told me that when he asked me to be in his wedding. I was sweating through the whole thing, afraid that my yamaka would fall off and I'd commit some sort of Jew faux-pas

[Jacktorrance1]

toque being a winter hat.

ive already got one of these hats. sure its just a black toque with the cabin fever logo sewed into the front. but damn if it doesn't keep my head warm in this cold canadian winter. hot little items too, everyone at the future shop I work at wants one, but they ain't getting one.

[thedudeabides]

Damn double post...

[thedudeabides]

I ordered a DVD and got this as a free gift:

[phronk]

You're all dumb.

Oh and I got my DVD today, and there was no toque with it. So all this commotion has been for NOTHING.

P.S. Maybe I should have just said "hat." Do you know what a "hat" is?

P.S.S. I wouldn't have linked to another site if Evilshop offered free toques. The lure of free toques was too strong to resist.

[billylove]

I know what an asshat is.

First time I ever went to Canada, I bought a touque as a souvenier. I got it from Roots, which is Canadian for "The Gap". Luckily, Roots takes Canandian money (and I was there a few years ago) so with the exchange rate and all, I got it free. I wore it to the tobacconista where I proceeded to smoke a cuban cigar. Then I had a Molsen and ate some fries with gravy and cheese curds. Later that day, I had the best Thai meal I have ever eaten. The next day, I went up 120 stories into a tower with a glass floor. There was no urine on the floor (at least not when I got there). Then I went to the Air Canada center where I watched Vince and the dinos lose to Marbury and the Suns, by 1 point at the buzzer. It was a great trip. Even if it's cold, I like Canada.

this was all a true story.

& on the subject .... I found it kind of hilarious that all the people at the Canadian area of Epcot at Disneyworld were wearing red plaid lumberjack costumes and they even had a Roots store prominantly displayed. What Canadian shops at Roots regularly anyway? I think it's a outrageously priced store for tourists ... but that's just me.

You Canadians and your damn toque obsession. :rolleyes:

Really, you'd think you guys could find something else to obsess over, like bad hockey teams, ugly women or shitty beer. I mean, you got plenty of all three.......

I forgot about this: the first time I saw LOTR, it was in a little town just southwest from Toronto. I can't remember the name though. Huge screen; excellent sound. Blew me away. It was a great trip all around.

The second time I went to Canadia (back to Toronto), I had more cigars, less Molsen, and visited Niagara Falls for the first time.

Finally, on my third trip, I took my wife with me. We visited Niagara again (in March). It was so cold the spray was hail. It hurt to look at the falls. But I made her wait to see it after dark before I'd let her leave. I've never been so cold in my whole life.

We also saw "The Lion King".

I used to go camping up in the Thunder Bay area every year.
