Blogs and Beer

A few things came about today that were rather pleasing.  First off, the BOTB (Battle of the Blogs) with LadyDayton is going rather well!  I'm pretty sure I'll lose the argument - Johnny Depp is the deal-breaker - but nevertheless, it was fun to have been brought into the ordeal!  I hope Average Girl continues to hold these battles in the future.  If so, I'll be sure to include myself in them.

On a lighter note, my very own brother has decided to create his own blog! For those of you who follow me, please try and make time to stop on over at his spot; it would mean so much to both me and him if you could. (http://shutyournoisetubetacohuman.blogspot.com/)  He and I just finished modifying it a few minutes ago; it's still got a few things that could be changed, but regardless, I'm proud that he has reached out to the world around him!  Plus, it's always nice to be able to vent your anger and frustration into a blog post rather than your wife.  Friggin' wife beaters...who needs them?  Anyways, I'd like to point out that his first post was rather amusing!  I laughed out loud (literally) many times.  I sure hope my readers would be willing to follow his blog if they laugh at it (sorry, with it) too!

This is a glimpse of ONE of their beer coolers.
My tax return will be coming in soon!  I'm going to take a semi-quick vacation up to Maine again with a friend of mine.  We are going to a bar in Portland called "Novare Res"...now, for those of you who have been there, you should know what I'm saying when I tell you that this bar is heaven on earth.  If you HAVEN'T been there, you're missing out on the greatest location on this planet.  Their menu has about 6 or 7 pages, fine-print, single-spaced...all beer. The back of the menu (one page) is their food menu.  Their beer ranges from different sizes, nationalities, tastes, color, price, ingredients, and any other aspect about beer you could ever care about.  The last time I went there, I had a German beer that cost 8 dollars for 8 oz...and their beer special was another German beer which came in an 8 oz. glass - it was $47 (not kidding).  I thought to myself "That beer better make me jizz my pants on the first sip, or I want my money back."

If anyone is interested in joining me and my friend for a drink at this wonderful bar, let me know, or come find us!  The bar is nestled in between Exchange St. and Temple St. in Portland, Maine!  It's kind of a back-alley spot.  Oh, and good luck finding a parking space.

In other news, I may be moving south.  Funny though, because I won't be leaving the state.  I'll keep everyone posted.

Joke of the Day
Double Martinis

A businessman enters a tavern, sits down at the bar, and orders a double martini on the rocks.  After he finishes the drink, he peeks inside his shirt pocket, then he orders the bartender to prepare another double martini.  After he finishes that one, he again peeks inside his shirt pocket and orders the bartender to bring another double martini.

The bartender says, "Look, buddy, I'll bring ya double martinis all night long.  But you gotta tell me why you look inside your shirt pocket before you order a refill."

The customer replies, "I'm peeking at a photo of my wife.  When she starts to look good, then I know it's time to go home."

  1. Funny I use the people-are-starting-to-look-good point too. Hopefully your mini-vaca is enjoyable enough that you get to employ the same method!

  2. To be perfectly candid, I don't try to pick women up at the bar. It's not really challenging when a women is drunk. But hey, if hey decide to come to talk to ME, then I'm okay with that. :-)

  3. Oh, nevermind. You mean when "people are starting to look good", you stop drinking. I see now.

  4. We have a couple bars here in town that have a lot of beer. We have a bar that has a 365 different kinds of beer in a year challenge. I want to do it so bad, but my liver would hate me.

  5. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I love beer so much. I suppose it's less substantial when you drink beer and not hard alcohol. Then, your liver would definitely hate you.
