anyone thirsty?

in happier days i enjoyed drinking lots of pop. at least that's what the neighbors thought. the fridge is full very special pop. (the last pop i ever made)



of course i shared the pop with some of my best friends.



i loved making beer at the u-brew. i considered it a stroke of genius putting the beer in pop bottles so people thought i was drinking pop. it was a marriage made in heaven. i like dark beer and dark beer is right at home in a coke bottle.

when i quit drinking it wasn't supposed to last this long.

WC fields appreciates a good drink. Good idea by the way.

I applaud your taste in bric-a-brac and admire your willingness to embrace that crazy rock music that kids today listen to...

That was so clever!

My dad makes his own brew too. One year all the bottles blew their tops! Beer flowed all over the basement floor. My mom was sooooo mad. But it was funny.

I knew you were a thinker. BTW, I like your friends.

I remember my Dad going through a beer-making phase. Of course, he also went through a stocking-the-frdge-with-the cheapest-beer-available phase.
