Broadening XXIV, Teh Funny, and Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack

We're just in from an uneventful re-supply run, where we cut corners and bought beer at Wally-World instead of the beer store, which is our usual practice.  But Wally-World surprises me at times... and this is indicative:


From that Lil Ol' Brewery in Shiner, Tejas... it's Bohemian (style) Black Lager, rated B- at Beer Advocate.  I'd go a notch higher and give it a full-blown "B" but I'm easy, yanno?  Our cigar today is (what's left of) one of those Nica Libre 1990s I was on about yesterday.

My Buddy Ed In Florida comes through again:
The economy is so bad that...
I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

Wives are having sex with their husbands because they can't afford batteries.

CEOs are now playing miniature golf.

A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.

I saw a Mormon with only one wife.

If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America .

My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, so they re-possessed her!

A picture is now only worth 200 words.

When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room.

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck. 
Some of these have a lotta miles on 'em, but a couple were new to me.  They're ALL good, though.

We're listening to Neil today...


That would be the acoustic take which is just as good as the full-blown rocker.  It's understood that YMMV, Gentle Reader, but we're in a mellow mood today.

  1. Funny stuff, but Neil bugs me. Guess I'm on Lynyrd Skynyrd's side of that feud.

  2. Beats what I was listening to (schmaltz again).

    God I love a good schmaltz song. I think my R&R days have ended.

    I saw my little pinky sticking out when I caught myself in the mirror drinking some $2 Merlot...

    WV: watear (what ear maybe??)

  3. Your Wally-World is has a better beer selection than the one closest to me. However, the Albertson's in Tehachapi has a really good selection. But then there is BevMo in Palmdale. A veritable cornucopia of malt beverages!
    But in Rochester NY there is a store that sells only micros and high quality imports. My Eldest Son took me to it after I got off the plane. It was a really amazing place, about the size of a Pep Boys store, including the service bays.

  4. That Shiner sure looks mighty tasty. I enjoy dark beers.

    Magic Wordy Thingy... veins.

    Hmmm, maybe my love for dark beers is in my veins! lol.

  5. Inno: This is just a gut-feeling thang, but I'd wager Neil's sold more records than LS.

    God I love a good schmaltz song. I think my R&R days have ended.

    We're on opposite sides of that coin, Anon. I hope my R&R days never end!

    Glenn: I've prolly been in that beer store in Ra-cha-cha, particularly if the one you're talking about is in a strip mall on the southeast side of the city. Thta place was a weekly stop of mine, given it was on my home from work.

    Anon: That Shiner WAS tasty. You and me both, when it comes to dark beer!

  6. Being a Texas girl, I love me some Shiner - not necessarily dark though. And you know I like Neal. I'm an cheap date.
