In AK, the liquor stores are open 9 am-midnight 7 days a week, but they have to be separated from the rest of the store (leading to a bifurcated 7-11, frex).

In MN, the stores are completely separated, and in the MSP area close at 8 p.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. weekends, with stores outside of the metro area closing at 10 p.m. all week. All stores are closed on Sundays. You can buy 3.2 beer at gas stations and supermarkets, but nothing else.

In CA, you can buy wine/beer/booze any damn time you want, as long as the store's open. Whoo!!

Wow, go away to lunch and come back 50 posts into a new thread.

(Sweet potato fries two days in a row in the cafeteria, which I'm choosing to interpret as evidence that God really does love me and have a wonderful plan for my life. It's the little things...)

Hec should make that part of the sales pitch.

Didja notice Duane Reade sells beer now?

I did! Thank goodness now I can get beer and condoms in one place!

Ugh, ita -- I feel like that way of fraud would be worse, since they actually stole your money. Yay for Citibank, though.

But I have no chopsticks at the office, David!

Ralph's grocery store was my one-stop-shop for my sister-in-law's birthday.

I love the Meijer megastores. You can buy a car battery, a kitchen table, a pair of Birkenstocks, gourmet coffee, a tree, a frozen pizza, a birthday cake, some CDs, a party dress, and a gerbil all in one trip.

Or, you know, drive to Hudson, WI.

Not that I did that once. It was more than once.

MST3K even made a joke about going to Hudson to get booze....

In WA, you can only buy wine and beer between 6am and 2am.

And booze only comes from the state-run stores. Which FINALLY started selling on Sundays in some locations.

Daisy, isn't Adrian married to a Chick?

As sumi said, yep. He looks awesome in uniform, and I can totally see her thinking he'd be perfect for it. I'd just never seen the thing before. It's got an all star cast with Jane Krak-Icanneverspellhername, Lauren Holly, Dennis Franz, Adrian and I forget who else.

I think if a store like Meijer came within 100 miles of Manhattan one or both would implode. Such convenience is like a fevered dream.

More booze, less bugs! California, I'm yours!

But I have no chopsticks at the office, David!

Unsharpened pencils can serve in a pinch.

Binder clips are a no-go, however. There's be nothing but little mushroom clouds of orange.
