"OMGWTFNYTMSP."

It took me an embarrassingly long time to get that.

Joyride: Isn't the Liquor Depot kinda sorta back as Sorella Wines or something like that? Smaller, but I think still owned by the same family.
Definitely not the same LD flair.

And no omnipresent cop looking for kids from the U with fake IDs.

I fondly remember buying a large box full of mix&matched Mad Dog bottles from the Liquor Depot. Later in the day I heard a friend exclaim "Peach?! I didn't know there was Peach!"

Good days...

Mad Dog.

Oh God, I just had a bad flashback to my rugby playing days.

Mad Dog, Bixby? Which team were you on? There aren't a whole lot of rugby clubs that down malt liquor...

It was on my college team.

Ah, ok. I played for the U and then for the Banshees. Beer and Jameson tended to be the order of the day.

I really liked the sidebar ad for the beautiful new condo on Riverside and 64th. That's like Richfield, isn't it?

i don't get why that is...

Either millions of New Yorkers are considering a sudden migration West or it's the fact Minnesota kicks serious ass.
