A Reasonably Pleasurable Death March

Query: What do Vancouverites and members of the Great Vancouver community do on their Labour Day long weekends instead of watching quality cable television and punting cats off balconies?


Answers (all are equally correct):


A) They shanghai helpless Albertan tourists and lure them into the forest to perform their strange environmentalist rituals.


B) They run up to trees shouting: "Oooo, nature!"


C) They re-enact scenes from Supernatural.


D) They also misjudge the distances on maps so what should be a 40 minute hike, instead ends up being a three hour death march through a research forest where one can only assume they are growing the sentient, apple throwing trees from The Wizard of Oz.


(Pre log disembarking)


(Post log disembarking)

E) They fall off of logs and into streams. Much to the amusement of dry, dry Albertan tourists.


F) They get lost in the forest. Lost in the forest, despite having a map with them.


G) They perch by rocks and fondle fungi.



H) They settle their differences on the runway by having a walk-off.


I) They whistle the theme song from Bridge over the River Kwai while marching stoically off to their doom.
