Any leftovers Una? 🙂 We still have about 40 bottles of Dopetoberfest left (and about 200 bottles of other beer, jeeze…I need to get drinking!), but they’re all brown. I may do some in green next batch, because I like the Grolsch bottles which we used (the stoppers are neat), but in any case, they’re staying out of the sun. ---

Ha ha- well done Una. Now I know to avoid beer from clear bottles. I never was a big fan of regular Miller or Corona anyway. ---

Heck with that, I want to know if Slug has finally given us a decent likeness of Una, hmm? ---

I think it’s meant to be **Fierra** facing the skunky clear beer. ---

In the case of the [storm glasses](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2963/can-storm-glasses-predict-the-weather), [you said](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13052059&postcount=7) that you were probably the one out in the rain. So, did **Fierra** straighten her hair? We keep track of these things because you two usually appear in the cartoons together. More importantly, does that make the liquor illustration our best picture of you to date? ---

Hmmm…well, the one in the rain in the storm glasses illustration has dark hair…I’ll just say that I don’t know. It could be any random woman facing the prospect of skunky beer.
