Friday is for beers (even though I’m posting this on Monday, because I was busy working over the weekend, so treating today as a “working weekend day” to allow myself some mental and physical recovery — that all makes sense, right?).

This photo is special because they handed me this High Life and the label was applied upside-down, which made me feel like I won some kind of Golden Ticket For Alcoholics to tour the Wonka brewery factory.

Got some shit news today. Imagine taking a test that your life literally depended on. I realize I’m being vague but can’t really get into it more than that (I’m fine).

I’m reminded of that famous joke from The Simpsons. "Beer: the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.”

Stay safe and stay healthy, y’all.

Enjoy the big game, the big cheese, the big event, the big night, the big show, the big meal, the big bevvies, the big cahuna.

I wonder if, now that America is deciding it doesn’t want to run the world or police the world, we’ll become more modest in our sporting-event habits?

There is only so much money you can juice from the public before there is no more juice to squeeze, after all.

Anyway — Go team! I’m just here for the nachos.
