Oh yeah, she’s just cold. Ba-dum-bum. Glad you are free from the clutches of the Navy for a few mins, **Chief** , I’ll get you a six pack. ---

Ybor Gold please, m’dear. They didn’t have any when I went to the store yesterday. Now are you going to deliver it personally, too?? 😉 ---

Why didn’t you ask earlier? Just got back from a cold, dark, rainy trip to the liquor store with 3 Chimay Grande Reserves. Guess I’ll have to console myself 😃 ---

Hey, great. I don’t have to get my shoes on after all. If you don’t mind, I’d really appreciate a 6-pack of Rolling Rock. I’m actually more a wine lover, but a freezing cold RR with little ice shavings floating in it would really hit the spot right about now! Hang on…let me get my purse. Need any gas money? 🙂 ---

Here’s $20. I’d like a bottle of Southern Comfort, and if it’s not too much trouble, could you stop at 7-11 and get some orange juice? Or should I go with you? ---

Since these are Virtual beers, I’ll just use my virtual car. **Chief** there’s an E-2C enroute, loaded down with iced Buds. Clear the flight deck. **TruePisces** I fly to Tampa IRL in about ten hours, I’ll deliver it all personally, and I don’t mean just the Ybor Gold, ifyaknowwhatImean. **Shiva** can I have a glass? And we’ll getcha somebody to console you. \*\*SilkyThreat[\b], your 6 33’s are ready for pickup. I put the ice shavings in myself. ---

but **Kinsey,** since SoCo has a place in my heart, I’ll pick it up. And some good OJ, not too much pulp. And my virtual car is pretty small, I need the storage space, thanks for asking. ---

I know it’s just a beer run but I relly have a taste for some Rumpelminze… I’ll be extremely grateful 😉 ---

Do they have Alaskan Amber where you’re heading? I like redheads, even in my beers. (Well, technically it’s ‘coppery’ but that’s close enough for a Friday night.) ---

OK, this is turning into a beer or liquor run, but what the hey? **hardygrrl** the Rumpelminze happens to be on sale at my neighborhood liquor store (I LOVE having a neighborhood liquor store) so it won’t be a problem. Shall I chill it for you? :as **UncleBill** sits back with his Presidente, Dominican pilsner: ---

Dr. Pinky… Red Beer… Ha! Hmmm… Alaskan Amber… Well since the E-2C has made the drop at Norfolk, and was headed back west to Widbey Island, I guess I could give a frag and divert it to Alaska to pick up your redheaded, copperhead beer.

I need a six pack of Blue Moon. It’s not the best, but it’s been my beer of choice lately. Either that or some Killian’s Red. Or a green beer, since it’s almost St. Patricks day. Awww, heck, any decent beer will do. Or vodka. I like vodka a lot. ---

But I’ll second you on ‘Anything cold’. Mess Deck coffee sux, and Goat Locker stuff ain’t much better. Tell you what: I’ll chip in for a case of Anchor Steam and a six of Guiness, and you can have some of mine.
