We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Barq's is the best big-selling root beer, but there are some really excellent varieties put out by smaller producers. I just had one by the Jones soda company (the company that puts out all those wacky flavors) that was fabulous.

My favorite B&J flavor is Dublin Mudslide. So very nummy.

As long as the root beer is Barq's. The only decent-tasting root beer ever.

There's so much variety in root beers, though! It's practically half the stock at Yum, and we've sampled dozens. JZ favors Virgil's which has a bit of anise in it. I like Sprechter's best - deep flavor and very creamy. Hank's is good, Sparky's, Abita, ones flavored with molasses or honey.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

IBC is quite nice, as root beers go. Although they are the ones who finally convinced me that there is such a thing as too sweet, and its name is cream soda.

I need my ass kicked so I can get down to business and take care of stuff. And yet, all I can do is goof off and plan my eveing haircut. Help! I've been possessed with the brain rays of Mister Smay!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Kathy, I've met the editor of Astroms Verlag, and have probably met half the people they have published, too. Mediterranean archaeology (my former field) = small place.

You people are making me crave a root beer float. Stop it!

Actually, you're making me crave a root beer float made with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. If I had my brain today, instead of being Queen of the Insomniacs, I would remember what that's called.

She's my old favorite, and with good reason.

Well, root beer is gross.
That's just crazy talk.

cream soda

Holy moley, my dad used to drink cream soda all the time. As a kid, I could drink maybe half a can. As an adult? Oh god NO!
