No need to own a lobster boat...the fisherman are bringing truckloads of

We live it up tonight.


Try shipping them somewhere. *Can't find the packaging and dry ice is

Unbelievable.


Just bring me some good beer and we'll call it even.


Canadian? or Mexican?


I said GOOD beer. Belgian.

Although I have to admit that for Mexican beers, I like Bohemia or
Tecate much better than Corona. More body and better flavor for a
light, lager style beer.

The big Canadian exports are just so-so, barely better than
Budweiser. They have some excellent craft brewed beers, but they
aren't typically available in the states.

These days, if I'm going to drink a beer, it's typically a craft-
brewed American or a Belgian. Miller Light is for boiling shrimp. :-)
