No beer . . . no tequila . . . what can you drink?

I am a rum aficionado. Whiskey and bourbon are also ok, but I do best with rum.

I bet you it is actually Third World problems.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find they are getting big buck$ from Uncle Sam to house those lice ridden ilk.

I’m going to lock myself in a dark closet and save money!

I have my wife make her world class pecan pie with brown Puerto Rican rum. Makes a great pie even better.

Yah,I've heard that traffic's gonna be bad. But I think I might take a rural route that pretty much shadows I-91 in northern Vermont for 50 miles or so. I'll hit some lights but probably not many. And then when I get farther south I'll merge onto I-91 or I-93.

Haha, I forgot about that. Not my favorite rum, but it’ll do!

I think you’ve mentioned that before. I haven’t made pecan pie in a couple of years. My specialty is apple and my daughter always makes the pecan or pumpkin pies. I haven’t forgotten your tip, though. Thank you!

Mr. FF says thank you. He also said that FR is full of knowledgeable people who make the world a better place when they share good information like this. :)

No pity. Book for three days for a stupid event seen many times before that lasts for just minutes? No pity.

I tell ya, God needs to charge for this event. Maybe he will just make a bunch of clouds happen.

Pastor said that someone in the church — a little kid, I think — told someone they were going to see the apocalypse.

Why can’t they just have this eclipse on a weekend so more people can see it?
Some people have to work.

If I look at it through a bottle of wild turkey will it save my eyes?
The part of the bottle that is still amber that is.

I’m laughing because my boss has taken the day off so he can view the eclipse in the Erie, Pa. area. And the weather forecasts are calling for a solidly cloudy day for most of western PA.

I am expected to go to work as usual; no day off for me or any of my coworkers, but the boss thinks he’s something special and is entitled to it. Ha, he’s probably not going to see any more than those of us who’ve stayed behind on the job. No terrific, unforgettable eclipse. Maybe he’ll get stuck on the road back and will run out of gas as he inches along behind all the traffic.

Anybody who bets on the certainty of a sunny day in western Pennsylvania is nuts.

“Why can’t they just have this eclipse on a weekend so more people can see it?”

It might help the Republicans.

Gas prices here in Fort Worth went up 50 cents a gallon just because of the eclipse visiters. That has to be against the law
