re the pic in post #66:
This makes me ecstatic!

Everybody at the table made fun of me when I had the carbonated lemonade (awesome stuff, btw!) with my lunch at the Munich Haufbrauhaus (sp?) instead of beer.

(What can I say? I'm a very cheap drunk. If I'd start drinking that early in the day,... The [even-before-my-time], old Dorothy Parker quote comes to mind: "One more drink and I'll be under the host." <-- I don't mean that literally, mind you.) ;)

Hofbrauhaus...you were really close, but that's why good writers need good editors!!!

As for Dorothy Parker...well, that may well have been what she said.

Dorothy Parker.
 
Wasn't she the female Oscar Wilde? She made allusions to that fact. I think so.
