Welcome back to Texas, Dave! Sure wish you were strumpeting here in Austin. Since you aren't, enjoy the BBQ and beer in Cowtown!

[Just Ducky]

Oh, and BTW, nice shirt.

[Meanie the Blue]

Cowtown & BBQ? Sounds like it should work ....

And the beer couldn't hurt.

[Bethie]

I would definitely pay whatever they were asking. C'mon, it's beer.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Dave walks into a bar. Barrytender says, "Why the long horns?"

*still sulking about the dearth of Bass Hall pix.*

[J.E.C.666]

Who cares about the price of beer if the bar is closed.

[nora]

what's the regular price? maybe double isn't too bad.

[Siouxie]

WTFBBQ???

[Annie Where-but-here]

pssst - private note to Siouxie - this is a humor blog. The sign is a (giggle) joke.

[pogo]

That don't look like no Lone Star in yore hand there, parder.

[J.E.C.666]

Beer is $2 a bottle before 10.

[judi]

i'm guessing it's a shiner bock.

[Russellmc]

It's a Shiner Bock!..what we call the "Nectar of the Gods".. I used to visit Shiner TX regularly in my youth...they had a FANTASTIC tasting room at the brewery back in the day.... Angelo's burns a pretty good piece of meat, as well..

[Annie Where-but-here]

Looks like a Snapple.

[CJrun]

Oh! So that first line doesn't mean they open the cash register at 10pm.

[Annie Where-but-here]

CJ - that would be 'open tilL 10 pm.' (yes, I'm translating for you.)

*secretly praying that Dave isn't wearing those Jesus sandals again/still/yet*

[CJrun]

(that was my point... they're both "tilL")

[Bethie]

If anyone is ever in South Texas and comes across a small brewery brewed beer called "St. Arnolds"---buy it at any price! That is some good beer.

[Wyo Cowboy]

*wondering if they deliver*

[Annie Where-but-here]

Yes, CJ - I knew you got it. I was translating for some of the drunker other bloggers.

For TLAPD - "Booty is in the eye of the beerholder."

[Bãrön vønKlýff]

I have noticed a serious lack of Strumpeting here in HOusTown. I am looking forward to the day that His Barryness brings his strumpeting tour to our neck of the woods, so that we all might learn where we might find one of those books that I have been hearing about and that some say may actually be for sale somewhere.

[Siouxie]

Annie, I GOT the joke...sheesh! Just commenting on the bbq part of it.

*flips hair anyways*

[CJrun]

Of course, the first line could refer to a plowing contest, during which beer got more expensive.

Wyo, they tried delivery, but they ran out of beer and BBQ before they got through Kanasas.

[Siouxie]

Baron, you're just gonna have to come to MyJammie. I hear there are plenty of Blogness sightings. I may have even seen him once or twice. And yes, there may have been a book involved.

[Siouxie]

oh and Wyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[Doc Rick]

Girls, girls! Look, that might be some pretty good BB-Q, but the best places I have found it at in this fair state are usually capable of seating maybe 10 and you really don't want a tour of the kitchen. The little dive's are far better at great smoked meat than anyplace named "Angelo's". And what is an Italian doing with a BB-Q joint? See, the greater Dallas area is just plain f#$ked up.

[Siouxie]

o!

[Wes S.]

Mmmmm...barbeque.....

Off topic for a moment: For Diva and the other NFL fans here on The Blog, I found this: team-by-team NFL predictions based on "Star Wars" characters.

For example, Diva's beloved Bears with Rex Grossman are viewed as the Anakin Skywalker of the NFL: "brash, talented, but has no arm."

And the Chiefs' Larry Johnson is the tauntaun: "Be careful, because they'll let you ride them to death."

*snork*

[Doc Rick]

Oh, and Shiner is to beer what a young J-Lo was to rear ends. It's that damn good!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Baron - Dave will meet you halfway. How 'bout dat?

*hair flips Siouxie just 'cause the Yankees are winning again and Boston is snot.*

[Annie Where-but-here]

still looks like a dang Snapple bottle.

[not funny]

Does the Blog realize that it's Monday in some parts of the perimeter country?

[Doc Rick]

Annie, are you saying J-Lo's rump looks like a bulbous beverage bottle? Honestly, I just don't see it.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Actually, I was talking about Wyo's......

[Just Ducky]

*snork* @ Wes's football site. I like Dallas being a young Obi-Wan, but not so much that everything could go horribly wrong. So far, so good.

OTOH, Houston as Bantha? No.

Annie, Shiner's been around in the Lone Star State since 1909. Snapple didn't exist until 1972.

[Moon]

Is that a blue shirt Dave is wearing? Wow.

[Doc Rick]

Yeah Ducky, the bantha analogy was a bit of a stretch, but pretty cool site none the less. Like how Carolina was compared to the Millennium Falcon. Guess that makes David Carr C-3PO then. Pretentious and falls apart when it matters.

[Just Ducky]

*snork* @ Doc Rick!
*envisions C3PO in a football helmet and pads*

[Siouxie]

oh man...spam a lot!

[Eleanor]

message for Siouxie - Phantom blogger ^

[Siouxie]

El, saw that! thanks!!

[ask, the clearly deranged]

Sorry, know Dave was disarrrpointed (getting ready for the big day), but I just couldn't make it. Catchya in NY or ND or someplace I don't live clase to, as usual, Dave.

[ask, the clearly deranged]

But then, everyone who is anyone has met Dave. But how many of us have goosed and shared a drink and a car with Judi? Huh?

That's all I'm sayin'.

btw, judi - you owe me karaoke next time

[DeskDiva]

Ooh, Wes: LOVE the site!!

As a Bears fan, I also love the descriptor for (UGH!!) Green Bay - "green and 800 years old."

*SNORK!*

[Siouxie]

ask,

shared a drink - yes
goosed - not so much (nttawwt)

[Charlie in Cowtown]

It is a Shiner Bock and anyone from Texas would recognize it. Snapple?! Where are you people?!

And Angelo's is _the_ place for BBQ in Texas. The health department made them remove the sawdust from the floors years ago, but it's still where you want to be before or after whatever else you have planned.

Should have known Dave's party would be there.

[a different dave]

I can't believe I let my son's football game and scout meeting ruin my chance to finally get to see Dave in person (and maybe get an autograph). Shiner Bock is good stuff to be sure and so are those frosty schooners served at Angelos. But all modesty aside, had I had the chance, in the way of bribing for an autograph, I would have donated a couple bottles of my homebrew (currently an IPA and a Fat Tire clone); they are even better than Bock.

[Siouxie]

priorities, diff dave...priorities.

[Layzeeboy]

Dave will be pluggingstrumpeting in NYC Wednesday night and yours truly will be there. That is, unless I can't find a parking spot, then I'll just head down to McSorley's to get drunk drown my sorrows.
