I gave up alcohol for Lent

Forgive me Father, for I almost sinned. It’s been 6 days and until this afternoon I was holding up fairly well. Then this Pabst billboard blindsides me.

My mouth started to water and for a minute I thought my brain was trying to tell me I really needed a beer.

But in the next minute I figured the increased salivation was more likely a result of my body’s recall of those gnarly hurls that always seem to end the evenings I spend with PBR. And so my dry spell continues.

I’ve seen two Pabst billboards around town. This one is on the corner of Second and Browne, and the other is across the street from Bluz at the Bend, at Market and Illinois. If you know of any others. let me know. I’ll go take photos and post them here. Then all us good Catholic kids can use the photos as a reminder that sometimes it’s OK to say no. At least until Easter.

Mother Mary, pray for us.
