Arelcao Akleos said...: Yes, I had ordered that on draft at the joint. But then they were "out of " draft. I smell a Molson plot........Guess I have to try a different class of joint.; 10/25/2006 4:20 PM

Nevertheless, which, the desperate dying dude tries to eke a drop from as he stumbles to his end on a martian landscape under a killing sun. Tejas, Hee Ya!; 10/25/2006 4:25 PM
Mr roT said...: At least there's beer in Texas. How do you like Canada, AA?; 10/25/2006 6:52 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: I always think of the Three Amigos scene where Martin Short and Steve Martin watch Chevy Chase guzzle-guzzle-guzzle his full canteen of water, and then discard it like yesterdays trash on the dry, sandy, broken desert floor, all while Short and Martin look on with extremely dry mouths.; 10/25/2006 9:07 PM

Touché! I missed that quote. AA, you have a much better memory of movies than I.

Thanks for providing a down-to-earth explanation for JJ's benefit. Next thing you'll know, he'll ask, what's an empty bottle of wine. Be prepared!; 10/26/2006 3:49 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: My memory is not so good on most movies, AI, but "Paris, Texas" came along like a nasty miracle, offering just the right note to sum up four bad years. That made it memorable.; 10/26/2006 6:07 AM
