This stupid machine… Wouldn’t let me in last night, and I finally gave up. And now I don’t know what time to expect you on my doorstep. You know I need to make sure to have everything ready. The Ybor Gold you’re bringing is just the beginning… 😉 Wait? Is that a knock I hear at my door? Looks like I know when you’re gonna be here… 😃 ---

See ya Sunday…we can nurse our hangovers together. At least RR is in a green bottle. I can pretend it’s green beer for St. Paddie’s Day. Have a good one! I plan on it! ---

Bein’ the season and all, I’ll take a fifth or so of Old Bushmills along with my six pack of Rolling Rock. They go together well, somehow. Thanks Unc. (if I pass out put me somewhere no one will step on me, OK?) ---

Flying Dog Beer. There is seriously a beer by that name. Micro-brewery stuff, damn good. ---

I just wouldn’t be able to function without my vitamins K and O. Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale and Oland Export Ale… both made by the same brewery in here in Halifax. Actually, I was arrested for breaking into the place when I was 17. I tried to explain about the seriousness of deficiencies but nobody in the ‘justice’ system seemed very interested… ---

Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat, if you don’t mind. I drank my last Sammie a couple nights ago and haven’t had a chance to run out for another six. ---

I’ll take a six of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. It’s not as powerful as it has been in past years (I don’t think this year’s batch is quite 10%), but it’s still the “don’t make any fuckin’ plans” beer. Damn tasty, too. Here’s a $20–get a pint of Beam while you’re at it. Dr. J ---

I’ve never been a beer fan (bourbon for me, thanks), but I found myself in a bar on a Sunday night awhile back when it was the only available choice. I asked the barkeep what he would recommend to someone who doesn’t really like beer, and he said Corona with lime. Turned out he was right on the money. I now occasionally get it even when I don’t have to. ---

Just back from Tampa. Ybor on Sat night St Patty’s? ohmygod, it was cool. On my way back from the airport I saw a sale at the liquor store, so I went in and bough an eclectic bunch of stuff: two four packs of [Murphys](http://www.murphysbeers.com) 2 liter bottle of [Diet Coke](http://www.dietcoke.com) fifth of [Old Bushmills](http://www.bushmills.com) bottle of [aspirin](http://bayeraspirin.com) two sixes of [Flying Dog Tire Biter](http://www.flyingdogdale.com)(with REALLY cool art on the labels) one six pack each of something I’ve never seen before, [Alexander Keith’s](http://www.alexander-kieths.com) India Pale Ale and Oland Export Ale, I think it’s from Canada. two sixes of [Sierra Nevada Bigfoot](http://www.seirra-nevada.com) two pint bottles of [Jim Beam](http://www.jimbeam.com) 12 pack of [Corona](http://www.corona.com) two limes Now I’ll scroll down to see what messages I may have missed these last two days. … … … … … … HOLY CRAP! How lucky was THAT?!? :: **UncleBill** dishes out various nectars to those waiting patiently:: Now let’s see that leaves me with: 2 aspirin, wow, everyone had a headache, must be going around. A six of Flying Dog, **Mercutio** only gets one, I love the stuff. A six of Sierra Nevada. a pint of Beam That’s good enough for me and my cat. **TruePisces** I banged and banged and banged for hours, then I saw it was the wrong house. But that was OK, the lady there enjoyed it! :eek: I drank [Ybor Gold, Ybor Brown](http://www.ycbc.com), a Redheaded Slut (tastes like cough syrup and Pepsi) flaming Drambuie, and other unrecognizable concoctions. Yikes! Right now I’m having a [Presidente Cerveza](http://www.presidente.com), and later on I’m off to the [Titanic Brewery](http://www.titanicbrewery.com) for dinner, [hoops](http://espn.go.com/ncb/ncaatourney01/index.html), and Bitter! ---

I haven’t had Bishops Finger since I lived in Savannah and went to Churchill’s Pub. I’ll call my buddy Pink at the [Moon River Brewpub](http://www.moonriverbrewing.com) around the corner and have him send some over. ---

**Flacon** [Tequila](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/tequila_mockingbird.html) is always for a good drunk. And **TruePisces** this was a bidnis trip, full time work, including the socializing last night. I was placing little blue shamrock stickers on wimmins’ breasts in exchange for them giving me beads (Webster new definition of “win-win”). It was hard work. ---

The E-2C crew has logged too many hours, they are down for another six. That is too long. And really the E-2C isn’t very fast. Here comes a pair of F/A-18E’s to make the drop. The love low level flying. Down worry, the parachutes will deploy on the cases so they won’t hit the ground at Mach 1.2. Really messes up the cans. ---
