We always called those Bloody Marys, though the recipe has evolved in other parts of the county, a concept we have no need of since, except for the whale killing and the DOL, we have no need of further perfection.By the way, I cannot help being a troll as there was one in my great grandmothers woodpile back in the old country. It came in one night when great granddaddy was fishing fifty miles out to sea in the stormy North Atlantic.

We don't partake in the boilermaker as a normal pleasure but I know it's still popular in Indiana. Most of my relatives are in central to southern Indiana. Crown Point is further north then them. <BR/><BR/>If I do it, my choice is bourbon. Southern, you know. The husband and I drink a local microbrew, St. Arnold's. They have a website if you are curious. We've toured the brewery and they recycle the cardboard packages of the six packs by collecting them back from customers and our reward is a beer mug with the brand logo or a t-shirt or goodies like that. We just prefer to support local business and it's fun to go for the occassional free tastings on Saturday afternoons!Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-59526571185270390632008-04-16T08:12:00.000-06:002008-04-16T08:12:00.000-06:00Wow, look what I missed because I had to clean out...Wow, look what I missed because I had to clean out the detritus left by our tenants! Let's move on to the real meat of your post (hehe, I'm joking you know...but I'm incompetent to add to the political discussion and you know I agree with you anyway) <BR/><BR/>Now, I wish to discuss the "boilermaker". Married to a Purdue man as I am, they are a favored libation here. I use scotch, he uses bourbon and we agree on the best, dark, local brewery beer. The last few times we have gone to our favorite brew-pub, the waiters had informed us that they could no longer serve us two drinks at once! No more beer and a bump????<BR/><BR/>After decades of beering and bumping? After we made the poor kid feel bad, he explained that we could get a *shot* and a beer, but we couldn't sip a double. Wha'??? No sipping allowed? Better to just belt a few back??? After we badgered him a little more, he finally just brought us our standard, the beers first and then the liquor. I still don't get it. I'd like to see that rule take effect in Indiana.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949724388906286696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-79865200521257426182008-04-15T23:10:00.000-06:002008-04-15T23:10:00.000-06:00Well...bored now...you do that to me, but I have t...Well...bored now...you do that to me, but I have to check in once in a while.

In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."

He went to private school on the islands on scholarship. He put himself through Columbia and Harvard on school loans. He was the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review and could have written his golden ticket with any firm in this country. But he didn't. And Michelle? She was raised by a stay at home mom and a blue collar dad, and both she and her brother put themselves through Princeton on school loans, too. Loans the Obamas only recently paid off, it should be noted.<BR/><BR/>To call these two elitist is a sham.
