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.
