Pretentious Beer Drinkers - Expand Your Horizons

I'm posting tonight from my hotel room in beautiful Saratoga Springs. No, the racing season doesn't start until next week, so you can still afford a hotel room here - as long as the company is paying for it.

I received an email today that made me think of all the handy men here in the North Country who have a beer keg, inside a refrigerator, placed in their rec room, their cellar, or the "Average Man's Fortress of Solitude" - the garage. The reason so many liberals look down on us is that they see us as beer swilling rednecks who have never developed a brain or a taste for the finer things in life. I personally feel that beer and tomato juice, the "Poor Man's Bloody Mary", is a darn fine concoction.

In an effort to promote a better understanding of the effete elite of society, WalMart will soon be bridging the cultural gap with a fine selection of wines created especially for them by the Gallo family. Not the ones in California, Guido and Connie Gallo from Jersey.

Coming soon to a WalMart near you, look for these fine selections:

Chateau Traileur Parc
White Trashfindel
Big Red Gulp (Also available - Big White Gulp - use your imagination)
World Championship Riesling
NASCARbernet
Chef Boyardeaux
Peanut Noir
I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar
Grape Expectations
Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum), red meat (Squirrel), or fish (Mrs. Paul's or bullheads). Now don't give me any crap about possum not being white meat - it's all in the eye of the beholder.

For those of you who didn't finish high school, or slept through literature class, Grape Expectations is not the book written by that old English feller - Charlie Dickens - his great-great-great-great grandkids are the ones that own the cider stand - that was Great Expectorations, and he also writ David Copperfield - a story about some magician who gets dumped by this hot babe.

That's all from the culture front for today - you boys behave yourselves now.
