Yeah, the offsales are pretty much any bar you go too, even in towns where the town is the bar and the owner. And they have day prices that are consistent with the LBS and night prices after the LBS are closed. So during the day, you go to the off-sale because it will always be colder.
Okay, I have another word that has come up lately but nobody outside of Saskatchewan seems to know. Have you heard of Yukoflux before? If you don't know, I'll tell you, but I'm just interested in seeing if this is a Saskie thing...
I've heard another term for Yukoflux, but I can't for the life of me remember what the hell it was... it was since moving here (KY) but Kentucky has it's own word for everything, it's like a whole other language.
We used to make it all the time, a whole big cooler full.
yeah, yuckoflux (SP???). yummy. we use it in east central alberta (suspiciously close to Sask). My friends from Edmonton look at funny though.
"would you like a yukofluk?"
excuse me?
A marinated in every liquor fruit salad?
Oh, sure, why didn't you say so...
I must be old...we called it yuckofutz. Do you still make it in one of those big plastic green garbage cans?

So what's a "Chippy Sparrow"?
Is that a happy sparrow? or a sparrow trying to play golf?
eating bird, of course.
I myself have never made Yuckoflux, but I have had other make it and it was served in those big Ice Cream buckets that Convienance Stores have, like lots of them. I don't know if it was easier to store or what. But the only kind we've really made was cutting a small hole in a watermelon, taking a bottle of vodka and putting it upside down in the watermelon and letting it sit for a day. Then put it in the fridge to chill and then eat and proceed to get wasted...so if you see your kids going camping or to the park with only a watermelon, you might be a bit suspicous...
okay...we used to be a little more extreme. I dug up a recipe of sorts...it's kind of theoretical...
Take a new (and it has to be new) green plastic garbage can.
add:
4- 40s of tequila
3 40s of vodka
3 40s dark rum
3 40s white rum
3 bottles white wine
5 watermelons
5 cantelopes
1 white grape (***I think they meant a bunch***)
3 pail of Saskatoons
some (? might say something else) 7-up or sprite
3 or 4 cans of juice (***no it doesn't say what kind***)
Leave for at least 1 day.
I've had this slip of paper for twenty years (it has some personal shit on the back) and now that I read it, it scares the crap out of me.
HOLY CRAP! Maybe the recipe should be called yougetfucked! That'd be an expensive garbage can to accidently knock over...that'd be alchohol abuse!
I used to make Purple Jesus. Take one bottle of pure alcohol(Moonshine is best.) and add a pre-sweetened grape Freshie. It's purple, and Jesus you get pissed fast.
Fuck, I'm young still and I don't know if I could survive that, just the cost alone would kill me. But, it sounds like a challenge perhaps I should try out....
One person doesn't pay the bill though. We're talking about a group effort here both in the making and the imbibing,
