Consumer tip #27

Do not, repeat, do not go to a bar where they have a drink special: "If your name is x, you drink free"

Yours truly did that last night where x was my name and mc squared.

I am paying the price today.

That is all.

Thank you.

With my name, I could never be that lucky. I could never even find my name on pencils or stickers or any crap like that.

LOL not a hipster, my name is Leita - I can never get those little personal licence plates or coffee mugs either!!

How do you pronounce that, Leita? Is it like lay-ee-tuh or lee-tuh?

Not a hipster, it's pronounced Leh-eeta. It means "chosen one" :)

You're pregnant aren't you? Are you doing the baby names thing yet or is it predetermined by a family reference?

Ok what bar was that?? Do they take name suggestions for the free drinks thing? :)

lol I've been told I have to name my first child after either my grandfather or grandmother on my mom's side. They're already planning this and I'm not even close to having a kid yet!

If I might barge in totally OT: Over in comments on TBogg, you mentioned Peggy Noonan "literally swooned over Reagan's feet." Unless TBogg takes you up on that first, got a link I can read that at?

Randy: here it is. It was in one of her books ("What I saw At The Revolution") so I don't have a direct link, but it's been quoted by, among others, James Wolcott, in his book, "Attack Poodles and Other Media Mutants." The sheer nuttiness of the woman is really in full display in the quote:

"I first saw President Reagan as a foot, highly polished brown cordovan wagging merrily on a hassock. I spied it through the door. It was a beautiful foot, sleek. Such casual elegance and clean lines! But not a big foot, not formidable, maybe a little ...frail. I imagined cradling it in my arms, protecting it from unsmooth roads."

Yikes! And that quote is not doctored in any way.

I love drink specials like that. There's a bar where I live that does if its your birthday you drink free, so everyone's guaranteed at least one night of free drinking a year! :)

OK, jbk, I think after reading that, I might need to get back on topic, and go find a place where I can drink for free. ;)
