How comes? It's a pain in the neck sometimes, especially when you're having to separate and layer 6 or 8 colors, but it's a trip seeing strangers walking around wearing your duds...

Did you ever work in a 'screen shop???You have to have a half-done Camel dangling from your lip at all times ... it serves as a filter.

Oh. I've been to a couple screen shops. Definitely ripe. So the Camel isn't lit?

Kidding. But I did put my foot, as they say, down.
I did kind of like the name Princess - a lot.

Hey, you sent me that beer once! Of course, the most romantic beer of all would have to be oyster stout, wouldn't it? Nothing more Aphrodesical than oysters and beer.

So you have a lit cigarette dangling from your gob to burn the toxins, but you don't inhale? Yeah, that can't hurt (and just for emphasis, something I never ever do, a smiley:  )

Love for Sale - Fall 2005 Love Stout is now available and vegetarian friendly. We are no longer brewing this beer with oysters.
Let's see, you have a choice ... beer with actual oysters in it, or getting a vegetarian drunk and getting laid by said vegan??? I say, shuck the mollusks, I'm going for the girl!!!

Let me ... well, you know. You have a smoke. Your hands are busy so you just do the Bogart lip dangle. You inhale ... the alcohol and acetone burn away, the residue remains on the paper. Paper turns to ash, ash goes on the floor. With the advent of water-based inks and OSHA inspectors, this practice has fallen by the wayside.

I don't think the move was made to appease the salad bar. I think they're just lowering the "EEEEEEWW" factor.Remember the REAL purpose for the oysters was NOT the slimy goodness within, but the calcium carbonate in the shell - at least that's what it said on the package.

Exactly. As long as they explain it properly, it shouldn't come down to a EEEW factor. It's still a shame to let a grand old tradition like that fall away because of a few whiners.

I love oysters and I love beer - honestly - but together. Well I have my doubts. Does the oyster enhance the beer? Does the beer improve the consistency of an oyster? I feel the same way about ice cream and gummy bears - not that this is as traditional of a combination, but you get the idea.

Yeah, but you don't like fruit in beer either.To paraphrase DL Roth:
"What do you like best in a beer, Princess?"
"My upper lip" Gummy bears in ice cream??? They would cease to be gummy, I'm sure.

Well finally a minute to tell you all about NYC. It was fun it was work, it was Polyho and it was beer.I did have to work while there as opposed to the rest of the crew who went around and saw art. We had a reading set up for Will Lupens that was well attended. Beer a la MM. Thursday evening we had 45 minutes between my work and the reading. I had been running on coffee and gummy bears and needed something more substantial. We headed out to a bar that I have been to before and there it was Blue Point Oatmeal Stout. Well why not? It went well with the country style sausages I ordered. When the bartender poured it I had my doubts as it poured way too quickly no head. But after it sat in front of me for a moment, a frothy head appeared with nitrogen bubbles. So I did as suggested and savored it, slowly and exponentially (I think) the second half slower than the first, the last quarter even slower until the last delicious drop. Then Friday evening, we all met up for dinner and on the way back to our hotel, El Seρor and I stopped at this food store they have a buffet of hot and cold salads, dairy products, candy and beer. An amazing selection of various beer that are available to buy as singles. My choice was Black Sheep Ale. MM I toast the queen it was good.
