Well, it turns out I only made it through ONE plate beer on Sunday rather than the two I thought I had. Sunday beer report:<\/p>\n
Previous total: $798.50<\/p>\n
Beer 142 (but 137 according to the Saucer):
\nDogfish Indian Brown Ale $6.50
\nTip: $6.50 x ~30% = $2.00
\nTotal: $8.50<\/p>\n
Grand total: $807.00<\/p>\n
Even if I had been sober, that crap would not have been worth $6.50. Probably the first Dogfish Head beer I’ve found not to be worth the money. No, I take that back, I remember when they had Chicory Stout on tap, which was without a doubt the nastiest beer ever.\u00a0 Big fan of their IPAs though, and Raison d’Etre.<\/p>\n
Monday beer report:<\/p>\n
Beers 143, 144, and 145 (but 138, 139, and 140 according to the Saucer):
\nGuinness $2.75
\nSpaten Franziskaner Hefe-Weizen $2.75
\nSpaten Oktoberfest $2.75
\nTip: 3 beers x $1 = $3.00
\nTotal: $11.25<\/p>\n
Grand total: $818.25<\/p>\n
My friend Bicycle Bobby brought me a calendar called “Tantalizing Takeoffs,” featuring 12 hot babes posing next to planes. I wasn’t all that impressed with the calendar, but the piece of cardboard in the middle seemed useful. “Hmmm,” I thought, “since I have a panhandling forum, maybe it’s time I did a little panhandling myself, to see what it’s like.” So I had bartender Jamie make me a “please buy me a beer” sign and I sat there in the Saucer and held it up for all to see. Worked too – I got two free beers. If you scroll down to the previous post, you’ll see Saucer regular IQ holding the sign.<\/p>\n
On tap for movie night at EP’s tonight:\u00a0 The Hand that Rocks the Cradle<\/em>, Single White Female<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 First movie starts at 7 PM.<\/p>\n Speaking of movies, the Majestic Grille has installed a HUGE movie screen at the back of their restaurant, easily visible from any seat in the house.\u00a0 They plan to show old 1920s and 1930s movies on the screen, appropriate since the building was originally a movie theater in that era.\u00a0 “We’re not going to turn the place into a sports bar,” one of the owners told me.\u00a0 “But if Memphis makes it to the Final Four, we’ll probably HAVE to show the last two games on the screen.\u00a0 And the Ryder cup.”\u00a0 Which led me to ask WTF the Ryder Cup is.\u00a0 It’s golf.\u00a0 I hate golf.\u00a0 I hope the Ryder Cup happens on a week when we’re at McGuinness for brunch.<\/p>\n Tonight:\u00a0 Pete the Trivia Guy will hand the Rapscallions a $50 first-place gift certificate, and express his admiration for the Rapscallions’ seemingly endless knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it turns out I only made it through ONE plate beer on Sunday rather than the two I thought I had.
