BTW, the link to my “new” “website” (Tumblr) above is dead (because I’ve changed the name a couple of times), but you can still go there if you click my name on this comment. Sorry, no more Mission posts.

We used to drink that sheez in high school. it is horrible. but it also helped me see my first boob, so i guess it can’t be all bad.

I believe “Crackistan” is that liquor store on Mission between 17th & 18th across from Thrift Town.

Royal Gate is $9.99 for a 1.75LT plastic bottle at BevMo.

Those assholes keep pestering me, too. Their market research borders on identity theft.

I thought this idea was kinda dumb at first glance, but on my way to work I passed a bottle of Royal Gate on the sidewalk. So maybe it’s not such a bad idea after all.

Do you have an AARP card? I have a little over 2 years before I proudly carry mine.

Sorry about that — Allan probably wrote it on his phone.

Although you’d be amazed at just how difficult to understand all these social web things are for dim-witted old farts such as myself.

As someone who’s been on the Internet since the BBS and Lynx browser days, I’m amused that having a Tumblr page is now considered “Launching a Website”

You kids today have no idea how hard it could be to create a Winsock32 connection in the BeforeTime.
