The Tropic Hunt Guy leaves the Pub at 7:44 pm. At 7:55 PM, the Sub-Blog leaves Stir Crazy. At current gas prices, which of them stops reading this post first?
a) Daniel Webster.
2) Henry Clay.
c) The Treaty of Versailles.
d) The surgeon was the boy's mother.

Do I have to pee in a cup?
Posted by: Layzeeboy | August 23, 2008 at 08:28 PM
Lairbo: You're making an assumption that we are in any capacity to *read* after we leave those establishments...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | August 23, 2008 at 08:31 PM
someone call?
Posted by: test | August 23, 2008 at 08:35 PM
[Hic!] I stand corrected. Here's hoping you don't have to pee into a cup. Godspeed on the aim there, layzeeboy!
Posted by: Lairbo | August 23, 2008 at 08:35 PM
yeah i was hoping someone would drive me...
Posted by: judi | August 23, 2008 at 08:35 PM
Hi Andy! Long time no see. I'll be arriving in Florida shortly before the Hunt, in Wanda, we hope. Looking forward to more bar-hopping with you.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 08:38 PM

Posted by: Mr. Completely | August 23, 2008 at 08:41 PM
Hi judi, when me and my camper get to Florida, we just will park her outside the pub.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 08:42 PM
Dave seems to be just a little teste today.
Posted by: BoscoH | August 23, 2008 at 08:47 PM
If I didn't stay up all night first . . . do I still get to take the test?
Posted by: cowhand214 | August 23, 2008 at 08:49 PM

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 23, 2008 at 09:05 PM
If the test result comes back as "the rabbit died", I'm not home.

Pub?
Posted by: Suzy Q | August 23, 2008 at 09:18 PM
I'm pouring, Wyo. What's your choice of suds?
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 09:30 PM
Had this been an actual posting, I would have a hilarious response. Oh, well. Who has the key to the blogbar? I gotta stay home tonight, so no pub.
Posted by: WayneHere | August 23, 2008 at 09:31 PM
Wayne, what's your choice? I'm going to be volunteer bartender for a while.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 09:33 PM
My ears are still ringing from the test - or something....
Posted by: Kathybear | August 23, 2008 at 09:43 PM
Figures. I finally have some time to spend on the blog and no one is home.
*slinks off to drown sorrows in gin and tonic*
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 09:44 PM
KB, can I interest you in a cocktail?
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 09:46 PM
Three bloglits walk into a bar.
One's carrying a dead rabbit, one's carrying a urine sample and the third one is carrying a breathalyzer.
The bartender looks at them and asks, "What is this, some kind of test?"
Posted by: Lairbo | August 23, 2008 at 09:59 PM
Test?
Pub?
... um ... whut wuz the question?
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | August 23, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Hi O. Want a Guiness?
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Back. Guiness would be great, Jan. Two year old just tired herself out.
Posted by: WayneHere | August 23, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Yay, someone else with nothing better to do on a Saturday night!
*slides a couple of Guinesses (?) across the blog bar. I've moved on to white wine.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Did I win anything?
Can I at least have a beer?
Sorry I missed the test.
Posted by: Dad-O-Lot | August 23, 2008 at 10:34 PM
*slides another beer across the blog bar*
Hi Dad-O. Pleased to meet you. I'm almost one of the "oldies". I've been very busy for the past few months but I think I am back now. Yes, I have met Dave (twice!) and a small number of the bloglits.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Thanks for the beer, my favorite kind (free)
I've never met Dave but I do have his autograph on a couple of bottles of Liquid Ass.
I am also in the midst of reading one of his books (Peter and the Shadow Thieves) to a few of my children. They love the book.
Posted by: Dad-O-Lot | August 23, 2008 at 11:01 PM
I have the answers to the test (going to the highest bidder, of course).
Judi left the key to the test at the pub. Siouxie told me. ;)
Posted by: Meditrina | August 23, 2008 at 11:10 PM
dad-o-lot, i too am fond of the no-cost brand of beer. once, when i was at a fundraiser kind of thing with some friends, one of them went to get us a (free) beer. she came back empty-handed. "what happened, did they run out of beer?" i asked with some distress. "no," she answered, "all they had was miller and you don't want drink that crap." "oh yes I do," i said. so i went to fetch my own beer and she just sat there not drinking. go figure.
Posted by: judi | August 23, 2008 at 11:24 PM
*slides rounds of beer all around*
Ick, no Miller. Nope no way. I have a 6 pack of Hemp Beer in the fridge. They used to have a very entertaining bottle cap which I was hoping to send to crossgirl, but it is blank now.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 23, 2008 at 11:43 PM
Le Pub?
Posted by: Siouxie | August 23, 2008 at 11:45 PM
*leans over to look at Annie's paper*
(pssssssst, move your hand so I can see)
*ahem*
soooooooo, judi?? when are we going to "the pub"??? and where's my free beer?
Posted by: Siouxie | August 23, 2008 at 11:48 PM
here you go, siouxie ;)

*waits for Siouxie to post judi's link*
Posted by: Suzy Q | August 23, 2008 at 11:53 PM
dang. the menu sure isn't very pub-y. :/ oh well. it LOOKS nice ;) and they do have lots of nice, nice beers.
Posted by: judi | August 23, 2008 at 11:55 PM
"the pub"

I have read most of the Shadow Thieves series before I give them to my nieces. My personal favorite book is my first Dave Barry book - Dave Barry's Greatest Hits. I took it with me to his book signing last November, and he autographed it to "Not-So-Shy-Jan, his closest personal friend".
Well, when my 86 year old mom saw that, she decided that Dave WAS my personal friend. She buys and reads his books now, and is convinced that The History of The Millennium So Far is a true story. She thinks that Dave lives just 20 miles south of me, in California, and asks me regularly if I have seen my friend Dave lately.
There is no point in trying to correct her; she will just forget.
She caught my brother smoking a cigarette a couple of years ago, and after expressing her horror, my brother told me she has caught him twice before and forgets about it each time.
OK, more beers all around.
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 24, 2008 at 12:04 AM
Thank you, Siouxie. judi, I agree; the menu is weird-ish.
Posted by: Suzy Q | August 24, 2008 at 12:07 AM
(jumps into room waaaaayyyy too late...)
judi,
I'm sorry, but "pub-y" looks way too much like "pubic" to me...
jus' sayin'...
Posted by: frodolives | August 24, 2008 at 12:10 AM
Night. *leaves someone else to clean up the bar*
Posted by: NotSoShyJan | August 24, 2008 at 12:27 AM
*looking at their beer bible menu*
Posted by: Siouxie | August 24, 2008 at 12:27 AM
Nite, Jan!
I'm done too nite all...sweet dreams.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 24, 2008 at 12:32 AM
OK, everybody out. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
*pours a Yuengling Lager (PA beer from "America's Oldest Brewery" - pronounced YING-ling*
Celebrating "Scranton, PA" announced 4,842,631 times on CNN tonight. Joe Biden...feh.
Signed,

Posted by: Layzeeboy | August 24, 2008 at 01:32 AM
BTW, I sent my "Obama bin Biden" to Rush Limbaugh last night. They responded back saying Rush LOVES it and is going to use it.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | August 24, 2008 at 01:45 AM
*snork* @ Layzee! that is great!
Posted by: Siouxie | August 24, 2008 at 09:33 AM
The Pub is great! And, ladies, the men are in KILTS. ;)
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | August 24, 2008 at 10:05 AM
KILTS??????????
I am SO there! judi, pick a date.
Posted by: Siouxie | August 24, 2008 at 10:36 AM
Congrats, Layzeeboy! Excellent!
(If we're really lucky, your suggestion will lead to Biden, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi writing another whiny letter to Clear Channel, which in turn will again be auctioned off by Rush for charity.)
Posted by: Wes S. | August 24, 2008 at 11:04 AM
KILTS??? omg...I'm traveling back in time, in addition to being lttg.
*Snorks* all around;)
