Ed Said Boo!

You know what would really be scary? A Halloween without a message from Irish Fest president Ed Scanlon.

"At this time of the year many very sad things happen: We turn the clocks back and we get home from work in the dark making it difficult to find the grill to cook dinner. Costco is displaying Christmas decorations--my lord it is still October. The wife is saying "turn the heat on, you cheep bastard". But the saddest of all happened Thursday night at the Gaf, Danny Regan and I drank the last keg of Boulevard's seasonal beer Bob's 47 dry. We will now be waiting until next fall to resume where we left off. Yes I know you are saying "Scanlon can't drink beer. He is allergic to beer." Yes this is true, but that is why God created Kleenex. Bob's 47 is truly worth the suffering. Happy Halloween to all the Festers."

Now, in the interest of full disclosure and healthy livers we didn't drink the entire keg. But we did have the last pints of the last Bob's keg of the season. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth ensued. It's going to be a long winter...

Bob's 47 at the Irish Fest? Wow that would be fantastic now that I'm retiring and can sit around in the snug and drink beer from start to finish. This retirement thing is sounding better.

SO WHAT DO THE SNUG SISTERS HAVE TO SAY, THEY ARE NOT DFENDING THE SNUG. ANYWAY, I THINK A LAZYBOY RECLINER AND A FOLDAWAY BED IS NEEDED IN THE 09 SNUG, A 2ND FLOOR TO WATCH GAELIC STORM, SAW DOCTORS, SEARSON, ELDERS, POGEY, CELTIC WOMAN, ETC. CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. HAVE THE SNUG SISTERAS BEEN BAD? HOW ABOUT AN ESCALATOR TO THE 2ND FLOOR?
