the bar tender at my old watering hole back in Northern Ontario used to remember my choice in beers because he specifically didn't want to hear my request.
-Curt "Pint of 50 my good man!" (Molson 50 is an old time Canadian beer)
-Bartender "It's not a pint it's a Quart"
-Curt "....I'll have a pint of Molsen 50"
-Bartender "A pint is a less than a Quart...do you want me to pour out some?!"
I don't think there are many places in the States that would sell a quart of beer. A pitcher, perhaps.
I had a favorite place in Long Beach, California, that sold cheap beer in big schooners. Better yet, they sold awesome pickled eggs. They've been around forever.
Here's their (secret) recipe for their pickled eggs:
1 12-oz jar yellow chili peppers (hot)
2 Tbsp. Pickling spice
1 c. wine vinegar
1-1/2 c. water
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Turmeric
2 tsp. Salt
8 eggs
Preparation
Hard boil eggs. Combine chili peppers (including brine), pickling spice, vinegar, water, sugar, turmeric and salt; pour into large jar. Peel eggs and put into liquid while warm. Don't refrigerate. Keep in sealed jar with lid. It must marinate for two days, and the marinade may be used again several times. The hotness wears down as more eggs are added.
Kick ass man, thanks! I'll be trying that recipe for sure.

Serve on a bed of pretzel sticks and you're in heaven.
Nice sunglasses. I bought a fake pair of Ray Ban's just like those off ebay for 2 quid a few weeks ago. They look very cool. Shame it's never sunny anymore!
I want a Coke.
I have begun to prepare for the weekend by staying an extra hour at school, going out to buy lunch for my brother - then bringing it back to school for him, writing a three page essay, and not getting enough biology revision done!
Woo hoo!
It did also include Andy's female friends all running up to me asking if I could be their sister instead though!
Blimey. They all want to be you.
I was supposed to be going up town tomorrow night, but then I checked my bank balance. 
My woman was supposed to be doing a singing gig on Saturday night, but I think she's cancelled that now.
Therefore, I have very little plans. There will be a bottle of red wine at some point though.
What are you marvellous people getting up to?

Well it has something to do with your woman's gig cancellation.

Baaaaah.
I'm learning the Thriller Dance at a dance studio in Covent Garden tomorrow night. Saturday is girly day where I will wear face packs and paint nails and have pillow fights. I shall then glam up, go out and dick tease. Then I shall go home to my boyfriend and Sunday lie in.
