Whoa Nelly! Now that is a BACON sandwich on steroids. Don't see any lettuce or tomato though. It does appear that the Wild Turkey in the background might have been the first course of this meal. TZ, if you weren't feeling so greedy you could share that bacon and a loaf of bread or two so that we all could have a bacon sandwich here. But then it's been long enough since you posted that I'm sure it's all gone by now. :(
Bet you don't plan to share your expensive booze either. That's OK, I wouldn't expect it and to tell you the truth that high priced stuff is a whole lot out of my price range. GR, I hope you get a really good tip from TZ on this order.
Update. Was wrong about no problems. Lost half of a large tree that took out the grandkids swingset. The gardener is pizzed because it add's to the chore list here in the busy season. Says he'll go on strike if I don't provide him with help. Obviously, he's delusional; there will be no help forthcoming. And to think just last week I finished cleaning up the area where I stored big limbs cut 3 years ago. A gardener's work is never done, is it? Dam, I need a drink. GR, you got any big gulp cups to put it in?
Hey now, GR; just hold on a cotton pickin' minute. If this wasn't a "fine establishment" I wouldn't be patronizing the place. I have my standards I'll have you know. I've never liked patronizing those hoyty toyty places but then if the outside has any appearance that you might be taking your life into your hands upon entering then I've made it a practice to never enter. My logic bears witness in the fact I've never encountered a bad bar situation and <drum roll please> I'm still alive. Now to put this into perspective I'd say your Ice Haus is neither hoyty toyty nor is it a life threatening back room near death experience. It does offer excellent comradere, unlimited menu and reasonable prices. Now if that doesn't describe a fine establishment, what does?
Humph, that speil made me thirsty! How about a round to share with all my pards here!
Hidy ho GR, if you have any shine left in that jug, I'd like a chug. It's dad burned cold here this morning; 43 with a wind chill of 34 and yesterday it was 82! This is one crazy weather Spring in Texas I tell ya'. For some reason the conversation here this morning made me think of a perfect theme song for the haus....."Chug A Lug" by Roger Miller (mid '60's for the young un's). I think it describes the atmosphere here; juke box, sawdust floor, shine and everything. Any way, my work is done for the day.
Well before everything was Texas' fault, it was George Bush's fault; and before that is was always the man's fault (just ask your wife/or any woman). BUT....before you ask DUCK for the incomimg wrath. As it is now in this crazy world, she'd likely be throwin' the whole state of TEXAS at you, me and everyone else.
Taking that in mind, we'd better drink fast lest we spill our drinks whilst ducking.
The booze only helps to keep it from hurting us when we fall down; that we can do much too easily stone cold sober. One thing I've noticed with aging; the more I age, the less balance I have.
I'd say red to blend with the pork-n-bean sauce. BUT don't take my word on it as I chill my reds and whites both because I'm not couth and I don't care. Not politically correct either but that's a whole different subject. Anyway I do consider pork-n-beans good eats. Enjoy!
Everyone here knows thay GR only stocks the good stuff in his bar. The exception may be in the patrons/denizens (self inclusive) as he has no control over who wanders in here. The good news from the Colonel's post is worth celebrating; how 'bout a round for all and a salute to the good Colonel and his better half. Cheers!
Colonel dropped by about a week ago; said he was to have some surgery this week. He has lost his sight in one eye and about half in the other eye and hand problems too. The surgery is supposed to help but has been complicated due to drug interactions/reactions and different doctors trying to accomplish different things. ie heart condition.
Noticed you hadn't been around these parts lately. Lots of posters don't hang around much in the off season; and others (self-included) just seem to lurk more than post.
I hesitate to articulate on this matter but I'm a little confused here. I always thought you had to be certified to become a teacher and the term certifiable was the after affect of having become a teacher, especially in junior high. Not to worry though, states of confusion are normal for senior seasoned citizens.
