Top Thread: Toadman’s Beer Rant

I remember being descended upon by no less than three different employees at the Steam Plant in downtown Spokane because I carried my two year old up to the downstairs bar (OH THE HUMANITY!!!!) to get a napkin for his snotty nose. I'm sure he was damaged for life for being SO NEAR THE LEGAL SALE OF ALCOHOL, because LORD KNOWS nothing like that happens in PEOPLE'S HOMES! heh….sorry…it's just weird…like the whole “beer gardens” thing. In Texas, at an event similar to, say, “Pig Out In The Park” in Spokane, one could get a beer, and WALK AROUND with it…but NOOOO, not here.. one must remain safely behind the ropes until the offending beverage is consumed. I'm still not sure why/Toadman. More here.
