i'm an "on your left" guy when running up on people

still haven't figured out how to time it so that i don't scare the daylights out of people. one of these days someone is going over the bridge rail in to the river and i'll feel real bad about it.

Have you considered running with nipple-bells?

figured that my nipples slapping against my bare chest was enough but i'll add some bells and see if that makes a difference

THANKS!

Starting to really like having to go to a liquor store only if I want to buy liquor. Jesus.

In NJ it’s the only way. You can’t buy booze at supermarkets, convenience stores, etc.

Same here in Oregon, which is fine. The one I go to is in the same building as the store I shop at so it's perfect. No need to wait for WalMart employees to help me.

We can pump our own gas now!!!!! Nobody has died as a result. Amazing.

It must be a consequence of the Whiskey Rebellion or something like that.

I know Louisiana has many flaws, but I don't think I could live somewhere else with all of the bizarre liquor rules. We can buy beer or liquor at literally every gas station, grocery store or drug store etc, and we don't need employees to get it for us. Just walk in and get what you want. Sometimes I see those anti theft devices on top of bottles, but that's it.

I think you can buy it from kids selling it at a roadside stand here.

True story, I was in WVA a few weeks back and some guy on a cutout on the side of the road had a sign out "Ammo Sold Here". The sign was next to his van. Can't think of the emergency need for ammo that would cause me to find a guy in van to buy it from but he wasn't hiding it so it must be legal.

MN has grocery stores that sell beer/wine/liquor but they are a separate entrance and their own mini store. It's so dumb. Just sell the stuff in the regular part of the store

When I drove from Jackson to Dallas I always made sure to swing by Daiquiri World right over the border once you cross the Mighty Miss. Nothing like going through their drive-thru and ordering a giant bucket of frozen daiquiri for the road. Don't drink and drive, kids. But here's a drive-thru booze joint right off the highway that'll sell you a frozen concoction to help you hang on.

Do they still bamboozle people with the low alcohol stuff in the main part of the store?

California is like that. Problem is some stores are sick of thefts of their liquor so they lock it up. But you can beer/wine/liquor just about anywhere on any day at any time.

 

[Scoresman]

Some of the stuff stores lock up is strange. One store near me locks up the digestive medicines like Gas Ex and Pepto. Do people really steal and somehow abuse this stuff?

funding my kids college education this way

the great part is, you tell these college kids it's alcoholic punch but they're already drunk and don't know any better so you sell them fruit punch. profit margins are through the roof.

I remember having to sign-up for a drink in Utah. Drove through there many times and you had to give information and a signature. Even in Park City, at a bar. For what, exactly? Was the idea that others could find out who the drinkers were because they were filling out some form? A veiled shaming thing? No clue how that designation was important or going to make any difference.

Assume that's no longer the case in Utah, or somebody in here would've brought it up already, yes?

Utah is all kinds of weird. You can't order a drink at a restaurant bar without ordering food. You have to become a 'member' (which is probably why you had to sign) of a place to order an adult drink. Beers are 3.2. Bizzaro world there.

I used to travel to SLC a lot. I'm not a craft beer guy, but when there I'd always order the Polygamy Porter just for the name of it.

[Dan Lambskin]

Michigan is pretty good for booze, i can get beer wine liquor at my grocery store. Plenty of “party stores” around too, convenience stores / gas stations can be hit or miss
A lot of it is city dependent on liquor licenses, my closest Costco is beer and wine only but others have liquor

I do notice a lot of places won’t stock cognac on the shelves though, have to get from behind the counter or take a ticket up front

CA is almost this way. No liquor at gas stations. But everything else

Couldn’t have two pichers of beer on the table

Can’t stand and drink. Must be sitting.

Could not buy beer with an out of state license unless you were 30 or older.

Things have loosened up a little. No more memberships. At a bar only, no food needs to be ordered. 3/2 beer is in the grocery store, but the state stores and restaurants now have regular strength beers. Still lots of weird tweaks though?

I think some places/cities got rid of the membership thing, but I'm fairly certain if you stroll into a - say Chili's or BWW - and sit at the bar, they won't serve you unless you order some fries or something.

It depends on the liquor license of the place. If it’s 21 and over, no food order needed. Otherwise, yes. It’s really weird.

At deer valley, I went to order a beer inside after skiing and the lady said I had to order food. She immediately said “the cookie is cheapest thing on the menu”. She’d obviously had to field the wtf look on my face a million times. So I got a beer, my kid got a cookie. Winning? But there’s a walk up window outside that I can get a beer without ordering any food. So weird. My kid isn’t as happy with no cookies anymore

In Wisconsin an 18 year old can have a beer at the bar if the parent is there and gives permission.

Speed humps and “tables” are popping up everywhere. I guess they’re cheaper, or more effective than police enforcing speed limits, but it can’t be good for one’s vehicle to hit a half dozen every. single. trip. I’ll also bet they require repair more frequently than regular roadway.

Loosely related, blue lights on private property should be illegal. I’m already struggling to find stretches of road to flout our country-low limits, so I shouldn’t need to factor in the possibility a blue glow is actually yard lighting.

Next door in Stoneham you had to order food to get a drink. Used to go to Ground Round and sit at the bar and order french fries to go and 600 beers

Oddly similar to buying pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) behind the counter. Of course that was meant to keep meth heads from stealing it.
