Saturday night at Madams Organ. Redheads drink half priced Rolling Rocks - why go anywhere else? That's all I need - a redhead & a beer. And cuervo, and the occasional Red Death. That's it. Oh, and pizza afterwards, that's all. I think.

I hope I'm not driving
saturday night, as the PNW posse is getting together for a social. Sounds kind of high class huh? I like cuervo, but what the heck is rolling rocks?

Rolling Rock is re-bottled used beer that we Southerners send up North.

LOL! Rolling Rock is one of the "lower" class beers from PA. Can't used to it in college. Cheap, but in my opinion has more flavor than bud/coors/etc.

My first choice is Guinness Extra Stout. Somebody tricked me into drinking a Rolling Rock some time back...I'll never forgive that person.

Love guinness. Drink it when I'm having just a few. Usually I'm drinking too much on a Sat for it to be guiness, though.

I can't explain why I can drink "Rock". When I go to Brickskellers (1000+ beer types) I usually find a nice English xxx Stout. Absolutely love em. But I can still go back to the sewer for Rock. Unlike, for example, Scotch. Once I had a nice, aged, single malt, I couldn't touch the cheap blends.

Maybe there's some addictive substance in Rock?

I do stupid things when I'm sober so why not when I'm drunk?

Ynami - MO was the first bar I walked into when I moved here. became a regular of which they have few. Lot of tourons, which can be a plus, sometimes. the best thing is my bill is either just the card minimum or a tip. Some might say I have a drinking problem but what is it? I can drink as much as I want for 10-20 in DC? That's a bonus not a problem!

We have a great little microbrewery here (BigSkyBrew.com). Makes MooseDrool! a great dark ale. But I like the competition's Trout Slayer or Bayern's Amber. I Like Moose Drool when it's fresh. Like right out of the big tank (special priveleges to ppl when they go on a tour.)

I'm headed for a couple of cold ones now!

Yeah, Brickskeller is still in the same building it always was, I believe. Right off P st on 21st (22nd?) They seem to increase the number of beers they have every month.

Photoguy - No regrets.

Had to shovel 75 yards of driveway today (NW Wisconsin). Too warm to ski, but still snowing.

As a reward for my hurculean shoveling efforts, I just finished my 2nd Leinenkugels and am now well into a big bowl of 13 bean soup. Good thing I live alone. Seems there is already someone somewhere on the web with the handle "Old Phart". Think I'll change mine to the "Antique Flatulent".

Funny thing. I moved back here almost 2 years ago. Quit my job in May because it got in the way of my obsessions. All summer I only hiked, kayaked, fished, biked and did whatever the hell I wanted. The winter was a little concern since all we did during my childhood snow months was hunt rabbits, go ice fishing and a little underage beer drinking. I spent the month of October in Virginia with my son. When I returned in November I joined a gym and started working out.

One day, while enjoying my post workout coffee, one of the locals suggested I try cross country skiing. I did. It's great. You don't have to be good, only dumb. From what I've seen of TT, you guys would be just as good at it as I am. Changed my winter from endurance to fun.

Miss Opie - Only Rolling Rock, I'm afraid.

Snake - tried cross country - once. Used to downhill. My last time I spent a majority of it in the lodge. That was a signal. The final straw was the "blizzard" of March '99 in Rochester. It took the National guard over a week to dig us out.

You must be pretty special. In my case they'd never send a search party.

Any search party would be comprised of the most sober locals in the closest bar. In fact, when I was a kid the town drunk was intentionally made the
Fire Chief because his favorite bar was across the street from the Fire Dept. Everyone knew he'd always be in the bar...if not in the bar, he'd go to the jail (never locked, we didn't have a sherrif) and sleep it off. We always knew where to find him. All civil servants should be that dependable.

Unfortunately most buildings burned to the ground because they always had to take the truck to the river and fill it with water before departing for the scene.

I always liked my life.

I live in NW Wisconsin, about an hour and a half from the Twin Cities. The Fire Dept story is from more than 40 years ago. Things have changed some...and not always for the better. There's very few outdoor toilets to tip over anymore and, I believe, that's fundamental to the gradual degradation of our culture (don't ask me how or I'll have to make something up and I'm almost out of beer).

Admire the monuments,
Discuss the late events,
Correct our watches by the public clocks.
Then sit for half an hour and drink our bocks.
