Drunk Posts Go Here

Ordinary day here
I sense some underlying passive-aggressiveness there. As in
- I don't celebrate every stupid "special day"; or
- I don't acknowledge holidays that act as an excuse to get stupid-drunk; or
- I'm not Irish, so I see no point in recognizing the day; or
- People in the US shouldn't even celebrate St. Patrick's Day; or
- There are more important issues in the world than whether I'm wearing something green; or
- I have a beef against Irish people, so I would never celebrate.

Am I missing anything?
 
Sorry, no passive aggressive underlying tone intended. It was simply an ordinary day. Sometimes I wear green but I didn't yesterday. Not many people at work did. By the end of the day I was thinking, "oh yea, wasn't it St Patty's Day? eh.."

Oh, and I do have Irish in my genes. My father's side is England/Ireland.
 
Not quite St. Patrick's but I did get to try the Mint Green Shake at Culvers. I had a free coupon. They sell all the time. Made with frozen custard.
I did try one of their Concrete Mixers last year, that was a cross between solid custard and a shake. Otherwise, that was my first experience with a Culvers shake.
 
This is not a political post. I was scrolling through Facebook, and my feed showed a clip of a White House news conference. I'm not even clear on who it is, but they were answering press questions about gas prices and the Middle East. The clip has this automatic transcription that pops up, and I believe he was talking about the Strait of Hormuz when I took this screenshot.

German immigrant August Krug opened Krug Brewery in Milwaukee in 1849. Bookkeeper Joseph Schlitz took over the tavern following Krug's death in 1856. Two years later he married Krug's widow and renamed the business Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. In 1966, Schlitz introduced a new jingle: "When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer." Sixty years later, Schlitz is out of business.

The Laverne & Shirley show took place at the fictional Shotz Brewery in Milwaukee, obviously a takeoff on Shlitz.
 
I honestly thought that they shut down a few years ago.

When I was in college in the mid 90's, I lived in Chicago a short bit.
We used to go The Billy Goat Tavern. (Cheeseborger! Cheeseborger! from Saturday Night Live.)
We used to get Schlitz Dark on draft there for $1 a glass.
Lot's of good times there.
 
From 1951 to 1957, Pabst radio and television commercial jingles asked, "What'll you have? Pabst Blue Ribbon." The jingles returned in 1970s-80s commercials. In 2026, the new version is "What'll you steal? Pabst Blue Ribbon."

And it's PBR, so they value it by weight, not dollar value.......


I'll be at the German American Festival this weekend.
I guarantee that there isn't going to be any Pabst there.

Not on my watch!
