  - and you have to beat the first level of Starfox to be able to play Starfox 2 -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:53 2
    - Do a barrel roll! -- nm - Tim Jun 26, 09:55

    - Unless you're in Ontario and it's a case. I made that mistake once. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 09:55 2
      - we use case and 2-4 pretty interchangeably. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 10:44 1
        
        A case here is a 12-pack, so seeing the 24 roll out was a bit surprising. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 10:53
    - heh, now I get why some Americans look at me weird when I talk about the May two-four weekend -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:52 3
      - And let's be honest, 24 for a long weekend is light drinking. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 09:53 2
        
        the $50 for 2 15 packs was a decent deal; a 2-4 will actually have me drinking less most likely -- (edited) - Beaker Jun 26, 10:02
