Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You can buy beer, wine, and spirits in grocery stores around here. Just not here here. My little town is dry. No liquor stores, no bars, no beer/wine/spirits in grocery stores. I have no idea why. Keep in mind, we're right on the border of Chicago where all that stuff is fine.
Of course, my town is also the one that has a sign at the city limits that reads, "Nuclear free zone." We're a bit hippy-ish.
I'm pretty sure Maine didn't open up till after my family had moved away.
Hmm, it seems like they've been doing so all my life, and I KNOW they were at least as far back as when I was in elementary school, so we're talking 30 years at least. The weird thing now are the "Agency" stores where you get, say, a CVS selling hard liquor becuase's there's no official state liquor store in the vicinity. I don't remember that being the case even as late as when I was in college.
Liquor stores and fireworks stores: a whole state devoted to the Darwin Awards.
"Live Free or Die" sounds as good a motto for the Darwin Awards as I can think of.
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.
Even there, not before noon. Can't interfere with church time, I guess.
The convenience store near me in Atlanta used to have a line at five minutes to midnight on Sundays, waiting for the beer coolers to be unlocked again.
flea! A very pleasant un-birthday and a great second-day-of-your-new-age! [Edit: I didn't know that yesterday was your birthday - it wasn't on the Buffista Calendar.]
OK, and now I really must go. At least I won't feel bad for ignoring each and all of the ongoing conversations around my posts.
What's the noun for "obtain"? I want to make a bullet entry in a status report that has things like "Completion of XYZ" and "Creation of ABC" in it, and I'm blanking on how to say I've obtained hardware in the same grammatical format.
Wal-Mart super center. You can get booze, gas, guns, ammo, food, and a lawn tractor all in one stop.
Party time!
Acquisition?
Acquisition of?
Excellent, Sue!

I think, too, that fireworks are (at least now) illegal to use in New Hampshire. You can just sell/buy them there. Dirty dirty dirty Cow Hampshire.
Those kind of bizarro contradictions, and the highway robbery toll on 95, are why NH is on the list. Is there any way we can shift Vermont and New Hampshire? I like Vermont, and that would make it much easier to get to.
