    THE RCMP? Bunch of pikers!!

    I've seen them on the TV and they ain't no slouches.

    Never made it out to the BIG STAMPEDE. I imagine it is quite a show and a sight to behold.

    No shortage of REAL beer in this state. No shortage of that stuff they drain off the Budweiser horses either.

    I used to have to go play in Dallas. I never had what I would consider a "quality" ale there. Admittedly, my knowledge of Dallas saloons is very limited, and I did most of my drinking in the hotel bar, but I found the selections lacking. No offence meant to my Texan SRP brethren. Besides, the ample numbers of really hot Texan women and great BBQ made up for it!

    It's out there, but like every other place on the planet, you just have to know where to look.

    I did a LOT of drinking in hotel/motel bars when I was in the heavy haul bid'ness as I had to park the huge mess I was dragging at dark. I'd run the wheels off of it to make to a hotel or motel that I KNEW had a bar or I'd set the load down and bobtail the tractor to a place with a bar. I didn't drink a lot of beer in those days. I took the express and either drank Johnny Walker or tequila.

    I HATED those damn Kansas "milk" bars where all they could sell was 3.2% beer..... WHAT A WASTE!!!

    No more "milk bars"? That is a LARGE improvement for the land of three suns.
