I want beer.
me too but I think BooMan drank it all
Not quite…I managed to salvage this one glass.
i wonder how often people search for foggy bottom and type a errant ‘r’ and wind up swilling keg beer rather than searching for apartments for their kids that go to GWU.
I like to think often.
I thought for a minute I had spelled it wrong. I sometimes do it if I’m not thinking.
What’ll it be?
Rheingold?
My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer
Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer
It’s not bitter, not sweet
It’s the dry flavored treat
Won’t you try extra dry Rheingold beer?
or
Rheingold
The beer that’s extra dry
Rheingold
One taste will tell you why
My beer’s
The extra dry beer
So think of Rheingold
Whenever you buy
(tune is the theme from Bridge over the River Kwai
Schafer?

or, for maryb, I’d write out “Where there’s life, there’s Bud” but it’s too long and too syrupy.
Gotta stick to my roots. I’ll take a PBR!
The west coast has arrived. Let me see — this is such a loooong menu.
It’ll have to be Rheingold since I now can’t get the them from the Bridge over the River Kwai out of my head.
You know, in some ways you’re kind of scary.
I choose to take that as a compliment.
It is.
I think this is the last beer for me, or I never get up tomorrow when I need to.
And you were the one complaining about YOUR schedule.
Was I complaining? I must have misspoken. I actually enjoy my schedule very much.
At least, that’s what I tell myself right now…in 6 hours it may be a different story 🙂
You’re right you weren’t complaining about your schedule — you said you were off your schedule.
In retrospect, I should correct that to say that I’m off my ideal schedule. I don’t really have much of a real schedule, to be honest.
Back in the 60s at the Polo Grounds, and even later at Shea Stadium, Rheingold used to be the big advertiser on the Mets’ scoreboard (don’t know whether it was the same when the Giants played at the Polo Grounds). Any time there was an error, the official notification on the field was that the “e” in Rheingold would flash. If the official scorer ruled a doubtful play a hit, the “h” would flash. It was so hokey that when there was an error (not a rare occurrence in the early days of the Mets) the Mets’ play-by-play announcers were obliged to say on the air, “And the big ‘e’ lights up on the Rheingold scoreboard.” I can still hear it.
And you knew I’d get back to baseball somehow.
the big “e”
I like it.
Yep, baseball is getting nearer and nearer. (Real baseball). I just got tickets for the first week — the first day game at the new stadium. I don’t even know who they’re playing now that I think of it.
I cannot WAIT for baseball season.
EJ’s an atlanta fan Growthrate but we won’t hold that against him.
pffft. If you think that’s bad, you must have missed the fact that both BooMan and supersoling are dedicated disciples of the Evil Empire.
the pinstriped guys?
Yes. They who shall not be named.
I don’t get too worked up about any of the American League teams until the end of the season. And I HATE inter league play.
Frankly, I’d rather have a NY fan than a Phillies fan on my hand. The phillies fans are just nasty.
Had to read that twice — at first I thought you said Evil Umpire, which can only mean Don Denkinger (hey, it was only 20 years ago, and you know how long memories are in baseball).
LOL
Ahh yes. The play involving Charlie Leibrandt, who would eventually become a Brave 🙂
How many Braves are supposed to leave spring training to play in the world classic or whatever its called?
I honestly don’t know. I know that both Tim Hudson and John Smoltz declined to play in it so that they could focus on the upcoming season, but I don’t know who is actually going.
I figured that. I always feel you have to respect those allegiances. Incidentally, if you look at the late night cafe picture we always use, you might get a hint of where BooMan’s loyalties lie.
The picture up above?
Yeah. Look at the name of the cafe (the one in the picture). Or have I been misled?
according to EJ its the evil empire. Maybe Cabin Girl put that up. She may be a phillies fan.
Looks like Milwaukee. When are we going to have a real Commissioner again?
Milwaukee. They should have kept Milwaukee in the American League.
I’d like to be Baseball Commissioner. Not great odds of that happening.
As long as they still have that guy that slides down into the vat of beer after every home run, I’m cool with wherever they are.
If you do manage to make it to Commish, can you at least set some kind of rule saying that Whitey Herzog has to manage the Cardinals until he dies?
Yes, I miss whitey ball. Tony just doesn’t do it for me. Too cerebral.
Was it last year that Milwaukee had the hot dog race that got out of hand?
No, that was actually 3 years ago, if you’re talking about when Randall Simon beat the meat in the visitors’ dugout.
time flies
that was one of the funniest things that ever happened at a major league game.
OK — I need to get to bed. Don’t stay up too late and further mess up your non-schedule 🙂
see ya’
G’night!
Yeah, g’night. I’m upstairs for what my wife calls my Sunday evening “pencil shavings and rocket fuel” — I pour myself a good-sized belt of bourbon and work the New York Times crossword puzzle. Pencil shavings and rocket fuel is what she claims she smells when she comes in.
Awesome.
I think I’m going to be heading to bed shortly as well.
Enjoy the NYT crossword puzzle. And especially the bourbon 🙂
Ok now it is really past my bedtime and mary George did sneak a couple of beers, maybe kegs. So now I’ve got a dog trying to hold one paw off the bed to the floor so the room will stop spinning and I’ve got to hope he won’t upchuck on me tonight. I really beginning to think you guys are a bad influence on George.
Night all.
I told you the insurance won’t cover drunk dogs — if George can’t hold his liquor we’re going to have to rethink this arrangement. Have a little talk with him.
night!
Okay. I have to go pass out now. I was up way too late last night. And…now…I…am…weary.
bye
see you tomorrow
