Get the powell river mug.A British Columbian town 5 hours north of Vancouver, a trip which must include a ferry or plane. Enjoy dirt beaches at the local lakes, marvel at the number of shitty oversized pickup trucks, and savour seafood fresh out the sea- although you'll have to look hard for it, since the locals don't like seafood. Also, don't eat any shellfish because most of the local beaches are contaminated with untreated sewage waste.
Culture vultures will enjoy the charming night-time entertainment at the local watering hole the "Zoo", a surely captivating experience.
Tip #1: When a local says that Powell River is a world class destination, agree with him, even though there's a good chance he's never left the province or even been to Vancouver before.
Tip #2: When a local proudly tells you that "zunga" is a locally coined word, smile and nod like you know wtf they are talking about.
Tip #3: Make sure your hotel bookings can be cancelled, because if it starts raining (like it does 80% of the time) you will have SFA to do.

Get the powell scowell mug.A drinking game spawning from Beirut, Powell Cup brings a gentleman’s laziness to the drinking table. The founders of Powell cup dedicate its name the cherished memories of high times at Lake Powell. In order to play, contenders require the traditional supplies of Beirut; and, in addition, it is necessary that two lawn chairs are set up on either side of the table for comfortable seating. The two-man teams arrange four cups on each end of the table in a diamond formation. Each side takes collective turns shooting ping-pong balls at the opposing cups, and, as a requirement, the balls must bounce at least once before landing in a cup. Additionally, team members on both sides of the table are not allowed to stand up from their seats. A hockey stick is highly recommended for handling ping-pong balls out of arms reach. So sit back, relax, and play Powell cup.
“Class starts late tomorrow, should we rack up some Powell Cup?”
Response: “I’ve got nowhere to go and no one to see so I could sit a few rounds.”
