**handy,** that’s fucking brilliant! I’m gonna do that this year!

Hmmmmmmm…wonder if I can adapt that ploy for my KIDS’ Christmas presents, as well…

**Missy:** Be careful about admitting to being an Old Style drinker around here.

_First Chicago Dopefest:_

**Gaudere:** sips Guinness Stout in a ladylike manner  
**UncleBeer:** quaffs Labatt’s Blue with a manly swagger  
**Ukulele Ike** Swigs from cans of Old Style, dripping on his necktie

_Result:_

**Gaudere** and **UncleBeer** now respected and powerful Straight Dope Moderators; **Ukulele Ike** still Regular Schlub

Shoulda kept my eye on that barkeeper…he was wearing a mortarboard and a bag with eyeholes over his head.
