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

Hec should make that part of the sales pitch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.

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

All stores are closed on Sundays. You can buy 3.2 beer at gas stations and supermarkets, but nothing else.

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

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

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.

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

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.

I've been enjoying the photo galleries on the Minnesota State Fair website

Everyone should go to the Minnesota State Fair at least once, if only to see the princesses sculpted in butter. The sculptures are the defining icon of the local culture.

Dudes, I'm totally going to watch HBO nonstop for the next 48-72 hours.
