A truism:

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. 

Bass Pale Ale was a favorite of mine UNTIL I tasted Modelo Negra. It is yummy!

A round for the house on my tab (and a tip in the jar for the bartender)

I worked retail in college - first in small appliances, then in juniors. Too much people contact for me.

No kidding, wife is the floral department head, and I work in the bakery. A special hell.

Back when I was selling boats I used to joke that I sold divorces.

When I explained the family finances to my divorce attorney, he asked, "Where's the boat?"

I knew someone who had a boat. He described it as a hole in the water into which you throw money.

I laughed.  So true in that department of 'customer service.'

Was the boat christened, 'FIAT?'

Made her day though. Had to take a product rack to the front end and passed her working her hands off in her department. Yelled (quietly), "Hey Sexy!" as I passed. On the return to her department I loudly said that I finally got a chance to use what I was taught on the sexual harassment training. >:)

Or, as we used to say, do you know why boats are always called "she"?

Because the rigging costs more than the hull.

I heard it was because it costs a lot to keep them in paint and powder.

I've never heard that version. Making Movies is one of my all-time favorite albums. Matt Nathanson also has a great cover.

Making Movies is one of the all time greatest albums, at least the first few songs.

I only have the DVD. Yes, that is the official (lame) video. Stupid wheel, "rocking" a the "rockaway" line, and so on.

But still great song.

The instrumental first moments . . . nice.

(btw, the ad before 'skip ad' was what seems to be Bloomberg's campaign slogan:

"Mike will get it done")

Well, it won't be quite like Sanders (Stick a fork in the US; it's done). But I didn't see that ad.

He is the closest the Dems have to a sane candidate still running - the political discourse has gone so far left that JFK would be a conservative Republican

Good one.

But I didn't see that ad.

(You have no control over what ads run.  I listened to the Youtube twice.  The first ad was for a product/service.)
