Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just take two ibuprofen before doing something strenuous.

Ibuprofen isn't an anticoagulant like asprin, is it?

If only they'd also sell guns and ammo....

Wal-Mart super center. You can get booze, gas, guns, ammo, food, and a lawn tractor all in one stop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I remember grocery shopping in Ann Arbor on a Sunday morning and getting to the checkout where they told us we couldn't buy the wine until noon. Not sure why this struck me as more weird than Canada and the government controlled liquor stores.

I think we abandoned the cart and wandered around the strip mall until just past 12, and then resumed checkout.

Liquor laws are the strangest laws there are. In Georgia, you can't sell any liquor on Sunday, except at restaurants and bars that do more than 50% of their business in food. For years, liquor stores had to be able to physically separate beer and wine from liquor, so many of the older liquor stores have interior sliding doors that they haven't used in years. Grocery stores can only sell beer and wine, so I've been kind of startled by hard liquor on sale at grocery stores in other states.

In a further strange twist, in Tennessee you can wine and hard liquor in liquor stores, but not beer, which is mostly sold in grocery stores.

In Madison, you couldn't buy booze until after 8:00 AM (or thereabouts). I once worked third shift at the post office - sometimes we'd hit the grocery store after a shift to buy booze. I wonder what the grocery store employees thought of us on those times when we were just waiting there until it was 8:00 AM so we could buy booze....

We recognize no such competition here in Utah, where there is much hangwringing over the fact that approval for the president is only at around 50%. Jesus cries when the good Utah children don't love the President.

Do you have fun reminding them that Bush's nationwide approval rating is only 36%, not 50?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Only this summer did the laws change in this state allowing liquor sales between 8 am and noon and Sunday. Still not permitted b/w 3 am and 8 am.
