      From: eichlertwothedigitnotspelled@comcast.net              A local microbrewery (Newfangled Brewing in Harrisburg, PA) announced       they were going out of business, and yesterday was their last day of       operation. So I stopped in for a final beer or five.              The owner (at least that's who I think he was) was drinking pretty       heavily along with the customers. As the final hour of operation got       underway, he decided he was going to take over selecting the music       playing over the PA system. Apparently he's a Zappa fan - he played       Bobby Brown Goes Down and Titties and Beer, neither of which I ever       thought I'd hear in a public establishment. Fortunately for him, I       think I was the only one who recognized the songs and could make out       the lyrics.              He also played Peaches En Regalia (a couple times) and started playing       Willie the Pimp and Don't Eat the Yellow Snow but quickly lost       interest in those and switched to other songs (did I mention that he       was pretty drunk?)              I was going to leave after my third beer, but the unusual playlist got       me to stick around until last call.              I'm gonna miss the place - they had decent beer and excellent food.       And apparently an owner with good taste in music.               -- Bob              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
