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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

But unfortunately, not all at the same time.

Because books.
I actually like Rolling Rock. But I like beer mild and very cold.
We used to get older brothers to score Genny Cream Ale for us in ninth grade, I think.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm with PMM. I love Gaga. Start with fun pop music, which has been in dreadfully short supply in the U.S. for some time. Add a "what'll she do next" vibe that (at least at this point) feels at least as genuine as it is calculated with an eye to the market.

I was once chased by a herd of cows, on a hill, in the woods, in Sicily. Cows are terrifying at speed, let me say.
They were probably in the Cowsa Nostra.
Genny Cream and Ballentine were my two "can't afford anything better" beers, though when I could find the Genny Twelve Horse, I'd much prefer it. And Ballentine had a hell of an IPA once upon a time (haven't seen it in over a decade in the northeast, however).
There was also the occasional foray into Haffenreffer aka Green Death.
