over in astoria, or there is/was (not sure if it is still there) a nice brewpub that had this fine beer called Peacock Spit...we would go there all the time drink a few pitchers and go staggering back.....it had a pleasant atmosphere....the folks who owned the place were friendly...and would sometimes buy us beer...the folks who worked there loved us...they would sometimes do the same...or charge us half price....maybe drunken smiles that place brought us...towards the end of my two year stint there, though it changed hands and then it was no longer so friendly...more businesslike...i would find myself cut off after three pints....stopped going...and then i left astoria...
