    I didn't even wear GREEN for about 5 years after I got out of the Army! So, it goes that I don't have a camo kilt...

    The best I can do is a brown corduroy with a military pin on the apron.

    I will be there though! Hopefully Tim won't drink all of the beer before we get there.

    BTW, I sent this in to Dan for the BEER FRIDAY newsletter.. we'll see if it makes the presses:


    It just so happens that this November's Beer Friday falls on... St. Andrew's Day!
    Info: http://www.geocities.com/traditions_uk/andrew.html
    Of course, that rat-bastard, St. Patrick, did a good job of bogarting the single biggest "beer holiday" in the U.S. (well, maybe second to Superbowl Sunday, which we all know is a recognized national holiday, as all banks, courts and city offices are closed). But, the truth is, St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland, is not a mere Scottish equivalent to St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland and Nigeria, who was coincidentally born in Scotland himself. If he had been born just 390 years later, St. Andrew (brother of St. Peter) would've kicked St. Patrick's butt any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Of course, one of the main reasons St. Andrew was able to keep such a low profile throughout history was that he was able to hold his liquor and unfortunately, in spite of being a Scot himself, St. Patrick was a friggin' lightweight. Also, the Irish have always been in dire need of heroes while the Scots have a proud tradition of fielding courageous, hard-drinking, hard-partying men of real substance.

    Ahem.. anyhow, whether you are a Scot or not; Why not come out to Devil's Canyon and celebrate St. Andrew's Day by partying like a rock star?! Remember St. Andrew's motto: "We're here for the beer!" and be sure to wear some plaid! Of course, plaid kilts, mini-skirts and plaid shirts and jackets are also encouraged. See you all there!

    Kudos to Motorman4Life! The DCB's Full Boar Scotch Ale is one of their very best beers!

    Cheers
