UPDATE
OK, the blog seems to be working again. But I won't be doing much blogging, because Ridley and I are charging around St. Louis in Full Strumpet Mode. I am pleased to report that Ridley's house has electricity. The roof is gone, but we can keep the beer cold.
Priorities are straight in St Louis

And the beer is all that matters.

Hey, Ridley, how about them Cardinals?
*ducks*

Sounds just like normal life during hurricane season! At least there's electricity.

Dave and Ridley - Please give an extra big birthday hug to the St Louis resident bloglit! You can't miss her.

mythbusters last night did an episode on keeping beer cold. presumably because it's hurricane season. i missed part of it but there's something about sand, water, gasoline and fire making the perfect beer temp. keep this in mind should the power go out. even if it doesn't work, it could be amusing.

Yeah, nora, but St. Louis doesn't have a hurricane season.

Excerpt from the Blog Calendar:
"Ridley 'There's-no-place-like-home' Pearson & Dave 'Whaddaya-Got-To-Drink' Barry will spend thursday exploring an authentic St. Louisian open-air domicile and viewing local sports customs on an actual operating electric-picture-box whilst sampling samplings from St. Louis based Anheuser Busch. At 7pm, they will attempt to write their names legibly. Tickets available online."

We may not have hurricane season, but we have tornado season. We had five of the little buggers last week.
If we had to name them, I guess we could go with Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria, Andrea Doria and Mel.
(oh, and then there were the unnamed "straight line winds" and "bow echo thingies" thrown in just for kicks)
*bow echo?!?! Where do they get these terms?*

Dave, Dave...its "the roof is on FIRE...."

Dave, I visited Grant's Farm last Friday. I can testify that the beer is cold and FREE! And you get to drink it with a Clydesdale.
Posted by: fivver | July 27, 2006 at 02:35 PM
How do they fit a clydesdale in the glass?
*tips blonde head at curious angle*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 27, 2006 at 02:36 PM
Punkin, it's a really big glass!
Posted by: fivver | July 27, 2006 at 02:40 PM
Now, Punkin, get back on your Clydesdale and resume trotting.
