Bar table-side sobriety

Tonight I grabbed a quick beer with Snarky before my trip tomorrow. There was a table that had a young fellow that was obviously celebrating something.

He was getting very drunk, and the more he drank to more he insisted he was sober. He even went so far as to show everyone how "100% un-drunk" he was by heel-toeing a line. Quite poorly I might add, not a very convincing act.

What sealed the deal was his 10 table side push ups. You might ask, how do push ups show that you aren't drunk (we certainly did)? If anything that proves that he was "100% un-un-drunk."

For the record I don't think he was driving, there was at least one friend that didn't drink.

Anyway, that's the news and I am OUTTA here!

See you folks in a week.

Last Thursday some friends and I went to the 26th Annual Great American Beer Fest. This is the biggest beer tasting competition in the country, with 1500 beers available to sample. Some were great, and some were less so.

This is the fourth or fifth time I've gone, and each year it's more of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, we had a lot of fun, but it's simply not worth the cost to be there.

Tickets cost $45 each (for the cheap night), plus StickittoyaMaster's fee of $6 per ticket. I said it last year, and I'll say it again, (this time in writing):

This was the last time I'm going. $51 can buy a lot of beer and food at any bar or restaurant. In past years there was even a little bit of nudity, something that was missing this year (or at least I missed). Still the $300 that we paid to get in can buy a lot of beer at a strip club.

I do enjoy potentially trying thousands of beers, but the problem is that I can never remember which ones I liked, and which ones I couldn't spit out fast enough. Unfortunately the latter tend to stick in by brain, so when I'm at the liquor store I see the name and think, "I think that was a good one." Only to have a six pack of crap in the fridge for months.

Like I said, we had a good time, so I suppose it was mostly worth it, mostly....

Cuz it's true
