I Bet They're eating Utz Pretzels and Charles Chips







This was the front page photo on NYTimes.com, for an article about Obama in Pennsylvania. I love this picture. Can someone please send me a cold Yuengling?

you don't see that kind of smoking in a bar anymore in los angeles. but telling a coal miner he can't light up after work would really be double jeopardy.

They aren't coal miners! They have name tags! Any guesses as to where they work?

I am too tired to make a new post suggesting that someone can go ahead and pry the gun from Heston's cold, dead hands. So instead i'll say a few words about Yuengling. Going to shows at the Khyber Pass in Philly from central NJ, we really thought we'd found a secret beer. By the time I'd moved to Hoboken in the mid 90s, Yuengling was widely available in Jersey. And then, several years back, they made a BIG push in Manhattan. It seemed every bar suddenly had Yuengling on tap, and neon signs, etc. It's still cheaper than most, and my beer of choice (and available in 10 states along the eastern seaboard, according to their website).

I think the guy in the middle was in my Earth and Space science class.

I even zoomed in on the guy on the right to see if I could identify what he was eating.

the guy on the right isn't eating. he's vomiting into a large bowl and, for some reason, stirring with a wooden spoon.

I think the guy on the right is eating a pierogie. And for dessert he's going to have funnel cake.

I'm the guy on the right. I'm just eating some Bova Shankel.

My dad thinks Yuengling is a fancy beer. He's from Ohio though.
