The city is to ban alcohol games for new businesses downtown or those renewing their entertainment licenses. “It’s an alcohol game that encourages excessive drinking,” said police Capt. Chuck Thomas. “We did not believe that type of game was in the best interest of the community.”

I only pose one question. Will this prevent people from drinking excessively? Really?
Legal Question:
Is this statue-tory rape???
Or is It just a moosedemeanor…..
The person who would not know this probably can not read.
I drank some rum. Rum is good. Ask any pirate and he’ll tell you the same. However, pirates probably did not live in apartments. I do. This works out pretty well for my story.
Normally, I awake by an alarm set on my phone. It bothers me but is necessary to my career and ultimately, my survival. This was to be no normal morning.
I awake to the shrill sound of high-speed power tools grinding brick. Anyone who has had a hangover can vouch that this is pain. This is all going on below my window and I want to throw hot coffee on this person. It must be noted that I have no hot coffee, so I am screwed. Apparently the grinding was not enough and the job required a sledge hammer. Thud! Thud! Thud!, the ground shook and the very core of my brain hurt. How could anyone do this to me? I look at the clock and see it is 9:00 AM so they probably can. The apartment complex has a few guys that do it all and are equipped for maintenance. I think ” this is as bad as it’ll get”.
Wrong! DDDDDDT!, DDDDDT!, DDTTTTTT! They have a jack-hammer! Holy crap my head is dying. I am in disbelief and begin to dress myself because, I am evacuating! Could they have explosives? I can not take the chance. As I leave, many of my fellow residents are dispatching to their cars. Everyone is pissed and hauling ass. We all leave in a scramble.
I come back to a pretty good looking sidewalk, though I notice a few cracks on the other side.
I am a frequent flier within the United States. I mean I know the names of airline attendants, TSA, bartenders and all that. Sometimes when I fly I get sick. I am usually healthy, but a plane ride seems to do me in. A couple of people, including my lovely wife, told me to try Airborne before flying. This product was created by a second grade teacher. Why is that important? Well first, she probably doesn’t have to teach anymore if she doesn’t want to and second, it was designed as defense against snotty nosed [punk] kids. It is basically a vitamin pack created to boost your immune system before you travel or go in to large crowds or classrooms.
Enough background. I am at MCO, otherwise known as Orlando International Airport. I have a few bucks and a little time so I look through a shop because I’m bored. I see Airborne for the first time. The product is packaged in a plastic tube the size of a roll of quarters on a cardboard backing. I leave the store and quickly rip in to the package. I will be boarding in less than a half an hour now so I had better take this now. I pop the tamper-proof cap and a large, quarter inch thick, tablet falls in to my hand. It is supposed to taste of fruit so I smell it and it smells like fruit. I pop it in to my mouth.
Dude! I should have read the directions. This thing is effervescent like a danged alka-seltzer. As my saliva hit the tablet, a reaction began that may have made me look like a rabid dog. It was too late. I was already chewing it which made everything happen faster. I have all but lost my embarrassment through the years, specifically, when my five year old pulled my pants down in Home Depot and clung to my ankles, so I remain cool. And then I burped… A lot. The alphabet, War and Peace and a few nursery rhymes for good measure.
But, I didn’t get sick. So, was it worth it. I say yes! With all that said; this is a decent product that I would recommend. Just make sure you use it as it ws intended to be used.
At dinner. It’s funny to have toddlers, know what I mean?
