Waving SRS through the door into the sparkling clean, newly renovated Tavern. I'll admit the interior is a bit old fashioned - but look at the TERRACE!!!!

Does the terrace link on to the sunroom that backs onto the Recovery Ward? I've a feeling we're going to need it soon!

(I finally got this computer of mine to stay on long enough to post. After the great storm of July where my computer was zapped it's been a struggle to keep it working.)

Ever had Cold Bear? Cheap wine mixed with cheaper beer. Used to sell it around DeKalb, Illinois. There was also Cold Duck. I tried to ignore both of them and succeeded admirably.

That was so unclear you might think I was imbibing the stuff. I worked for the Forest Service in college. Other college students worked there. They were notoriously cheap when looking for a good drunk on the weekend, but even they were not interested in MD 20/20.

I think Liz the Squeak now has it enshrined on her sideboard.

I remember some old liner notes on an LP describing some bar where Muddy Waters and Otis Spann were playing where "the Champale flowed like wine". Anyonre remember/survive Pink Champale?

Then, for a short while, there was "Hop 'n' Gator" a beer/Gatorade combo that must've been aimed at the weekend softball crowd...

Bardenheimer's Port. Bottled in St. Louis, an EXCELLENT toilet un-clogger.

The case of Ripple my brother threw into the Potomac -- probably responsible for the decline of the oyster beds and crabbing grounds.

Licorice-flavored vodka -- a failed attempt to make Pernod at home. The entire world's supply rest in the now-filled vault of an old outhouse. If you dug it up it would probably taste better.

So sad, that we all have stories of such sorry excuses for alcohol. This is the Mudcat Tavern, so we need to banish such thoughts! A cheap drunk doesn't have to be despicable!

I'll buy (on Bert's card, of course!) each of you a nice bottle of a French table wine that I enjoy, called Le Vieille Ferme from the Rhone Valley. "The Old Farm." Now how much better can it get than that? It is particularly good with delicacies like the lamb gyros I buy at the corner gas station/fast food establishment for $2.59 (they were $1.99 for ages, but went up last month finally. It's still a $5 sandwich at a $2.59 price). Lucky me that the corner gas station is run by a Lebanese guy and he buys those big lamb-on-a-spit things to roast for his sandwiches. :)

Pamper yourselves. Get out the pretty stemware, even if the bottle only cost about $7.

Barkeep, the nice glasses, please!

New Year? Do we have a new year? Why? What was wrong with the old one? I liked it.

Darn it! Seems like every time I get used to having a year around someone has to go and bring in a new one. What do they do with the old ones anyway? Is it like when you get a new engine put in your truck and they send the old one to the rebuilders? It makes sense. Heck, I only had a handful of bad days in 2005. Why not just keep the good days, replace the bad days with new ones and trot the whole thing back out somewhere down the road, good as new and a whole lot cheaper than a brand new year?

GOOD wine? Are you trying to kill me?

BW, there's a junkyard of old years, sort of like an elephant's graveyard. I saw it once. Had all the old years in it: 1067, 8,157 BCE, 1968 (a lousy year by most standards, including mine), 1307, 2000, stuff like that. I was gonna borrow a few parts off of 1966, but the watchman caught me and I had to leg it like a horse. I got outa there just before he fired off a load of rock salt from his blunderbuss.

Rapaire, you can fool yourself with this wine--a couple of years ago they phased out corks and switched to screw caps. Pretend it's not a blend of Grenache 50%, Syrah 20%, Carignan 15% Cinsault 15%. Pretend it's fortified Welch's grape juice.

If you visit that junkyard again I'd like a nice helping of summer 1975. No, wait. It took too long to get over that summer. Maybe a nice mellow summer of 1994.
