    Stubbies going waaaaay back. The death of the stubby is a sad story...interesting that upstate NY got the domestic stuff...even in Europe I always saw the green bottles...gave an already bad beer an even worse international reputation. In any event, I soooo would not recommend Labatt's under any circumstances. You CAN still get stubbies from a small brewer in Waterloo ON...Red Cap beer. The lager is kinda crap, but the Waterloo Dark is pretty decent. I always bought it when I was in Ontario just for the stubbies and the sentimental value. That and Labatt's and Molson, together killed the stubby.

    The green bottles were what we used to send across the border - had an alcohol content of like 3% and tasted more like water or Coor's light than beer...Brown bottles were domestic and had an alcohol content of 5%. These tasted like they were recycled beers from the night before...D-Town only ever had the greenies...they MAY have stopped that practice after they were bought by the Dutch and then bought again by the Brazilians...who knows anymore - never touch the stuff myself. Boo where you from?

    Are you sure the green bottles are brewed south of the border? The (terrible) stuff in the brown bottles was and is brewed in my old home town (London) - also would not drink it knowing where that plant is built...and what it is built on - and half the people that work there...remember, Labatt's used to allow their workers to pull beers off the line and drink on the job...hell they used to have beer vending machines in the break room that were free...ah the 80's now there is H&S to deal with...now they put a weekly 24 on your paycheck.

Wets coming down, but its opening day here in Baltimore. 3:00pm EST start to the dismantling of the Pride of Canadian Baseball (shots fired!). So I'll be in the stands for first pitch with my phone tuned to KFOG for the hopefully big announcement.. TFONTS - How was the Jimmy & the Reefers? Looked like a pretty solid setlist.

Here yee....here yee (can I borrow that, Geo?) VOL. IVX; No. 1 email is in your morning in-boxes. Gotta say, the Palm Beach parrot heads and the parking scene lot at The Cruzan was on fire yesterday. Super fun show by our home town boy too. Hey, it's Dad's Weekend up at FSU this weekend so I'm jumping in the truck and making that six hour drive north to Tallahassee to hang with my kid, slam beers in his frat house, and really get an accurate picture of how my tuition dollars are being spent :-) Love you all ! Be safe, be kind, and have a great weekend !!!! Cheers !!

Wow, great job on the T-shirts. Can't think of a more prized memento for this occasion. Like Tony said, you need a spare just to frame. No way to thank you two enough. Tennessee Ed Horse wants to order a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL. This is due to too much beer and Spaghetti-O'S.

Sometimes I second guess making that trade. T-Ed is a mess. Trouble is Nell just loves him and always covers his tracks. She pays his tickets when he speeds.

I've got a hotel lined up for the late June Towering Waltons shows at Levi's Stadium--learned my lesson on accommodations. I just hope if something is announced it will be on the leaked weekend. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

T-Horse has finally revealed his choice for the first song played. He says the band will walk out on stage, see him down in front, and break into Tennessee Ed. He swears that there never was a "J" in the song title.

I wonder if Jimmy still has that CA license plate. As I mentioned many moons ago, I'm gonna go with Caution Jam>Jack Straw. Why? Because it will give Trey a chance to find a groove with the others and if it is correct, it would be an excuse to buy a SuperDuperPowerBall lotto ticket. Those Midwesterners have the multi-millions lottery experience down pat. First thing I'd buy is a ticket for Klang to Sunday night's show. Hells yeah.

We miss him and can't seem to beat the Blues without him. He needs to heal faster. Don't have anything but supernatural fixes for the Jerry void...unfortunately. And time does't seem to heal the wound.
