Catching Up

Today is International Beer Day!

Man, do I love my beer.  My wonderful son insists on bringing me a 6-pack of Snake-Dog brew each week.  I look forward to it.

I've mentioned a couple of beer problems that bug me many times, but here I go again. 

1.  If you are going to drink beer, for God's sake, do not drink out of the bottle. Be civilized, use a mug, stein or beer glass.

2.  Forget about "Lite" beer, it is just regular beer highly diluted with tap water.

Elephants Never Forget

A nasty Indian Elephant-hater died and at her funeral, an elephant she had mistreated showed up and trampled her corpse.

 

He saw the Light?

Representative Glenn Thompson voted against a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage.  Three days later he "was thrilled" to attend the wedding of his son to another man.

Good Food?

I was just reading about three restaurants in Nantucket that have a devoted following.

The Nautilus - Asian-inspired seafood.

Sister Ship - Mediterranean-inspired menu.

Topper's - Fresh catch and oysters.

Why can't New Bedford showcase some seafood and Portuguese restaurants?  Nantucket is always thumbing its nose at such food.  Topper's may be the exception.

When tired Boston businessmen look for a weekend respite, do they ever say, "I'm going to New Bedford?"

No, they say they are going to the Cape or Nantucket.

They certainly miss out on some great food.

Strange Crook

A Florida man was caught after he stole paper napkins at a Waffle House.  He scared the waitresses by holding his fingers so they looked like a pistol.

Illegal Sting

Mean guys are tricking Oklahoma librarians into giving them abortion references.  They then report them to the police for law violation.  The librarians then risk termination, jail time and a $10,000 fine.

Those damn ugly Americans again!

Why are American tourists always getting in trouble?  I don't recall hearing about foreign tourists getting in trouble in the United States.

In a latest incident, two "completely drunk" Americans threw an electric scooter down Rome's Spanish Steps, causing $27,000 damage to the steps.

Scooter?  No, Splooter.

People near parks these days have noticed squirrels stretched out on pavement.  This is called "splooting" and is a tactic that squirrels use to cool off their bodies from their stomachs to their extremities.

But its not restricted to squirrels; dogs have done this maneuver for ages.

By the way, have you heard about the squirrel who carries a miniature Teddy Bear with him at all times?
