I figured that was a good way to kick off the BYCU. I won't be doing much driving this weekend, but some inebriated bike pedaling is a possibility. Drink a few, ride bike to the baseball games. The only problem with that is, I can't sneak out to my car for a tween-innings swig. I'll play it by ear.

First, they ran up the price of food. Now, they're running up the price of beer: The Environmental News Service reports the flex-fuel vehicles at this summer's Democratic National Convention in Denver will be running on waste beer from Coors Brewing. It reminds me of a headline earlier this week. I can't find the story, but the headline said something like, "Vatican official: Fuel at the price of food unjust." I think that sentiment can safely be applied to beer.

Great GKC anecdote that fits with today's theme:
The story is told of GK Chesterton delivering proofs, late, to his editor. The office was deserted, with just one person, from the accounts department, to take delivery of the great man's work. When Chesterton produced from his bag not only his corrected pages but a bottle of port and a glass, the terrified clerk confessed he was teetotal. 'Good heavens,' Chesterton squeaked in dismay. 'Give me back my proofs!'

Alright, this sounds perfectly juvenile, but I could see myself doing it: Two Belgian beer fans have launched a video game that allows players to slalom down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals. Then again, maybe I couldn't see myself doing it: "The booth is designed for two users at a time." Call me a hetero, but I simply don't like my exposed member to be within nine inches of another guy's.
