Thanks to all who supported Especially since Thursday is Free Beer for Smitty Day, last night. I had a good time sitting, chatting, and leaching onto your wallets.

And Smitty, just a tip — “Hey, mister, do you know my Dad?” is generally NOT a pick-up line.

Oh. Explains a lot. Thanks.

I can use that free beer any moment now.

From the some of the places I used to go, anything this side of plastic cups and playing “Count the Bullet Holes in the Wall” would seem upscale. And Smitty, just a tip — “Hey, mister, do you know my Dad?” is generally NOT a pick-up line.

By upscale, you mean beer in bottles, not cans?

Seriously, one night we have to have Drinking Liberally at the Jackson Inn.

Yes, Scott, I know. I often am having to swat away interested parties when I am in town. It truly is a drag sometimes, but the price one must pay.

(oh…my…GAWD…did he really just say that)

Actually, I doubt that there will be anyone with a fake ID at Homegrown for $1 beer night. It is more upscale than that.

Conser-what? Fiscally conservative, sure, but that is so out-of-vogue to be a fiscal conservative if you are a social-moderate or social-liberal. That combination automatically makes you a commie-lib these days.

Smitty, I don’t personally know anything about this Homegrown Cafe place, but unless Newark bars have changed dramatically in the past 10 years or so, the only tail the patrons there are interested in ain’t on a lobster.

Smitty, we can paper you with the old Burris posts and exhibit you as sort of a Victorian curiousity piece. “Look, one of the conservatives who actually used to have a political party.”

MJ and I will be unable to attend due to our hosting of the free lobster tail (cold water) and caviar (large-grain Beluga with hand-crafted creme freche) dinner with unlimited French champagne served in two hundred year old Irish crystal. Too bad you guys didn’t decide to have the DL down here.

Wow, I suddenly…uh…became…ummm…”too busy” to attend tonight, yeah. ~~I think s~~Something suddenly came up in … uh… Sussex County, yeah.

psst…dave m…will you accept DL’s token-political-hack as a guest? Just don’t tell them, ok? Don’t worry, they can’t see this. I typed it in my extra-special font that DL contributors can’t see with their eyes.

I wish. Does Homegrown serve cold-water lobster tail and who’s buying?

My chosen costume as an elected “junketeer” will not allow me to actually be present tonight since I’ll be ensconced in some Caribbean luxury resort studying the health care costs of decompression illnesses.
Regrets,
