Ok, I was going to have some bubbly water. You know the stuff they call champagne, you know some of that Dom Perignon stuff in the funny big bottles. They're having a clearance special on this down at the Quickee Mart and I'm going to stock up for this shin dig. The regular price was $225 a bottle marked down to $10.99 a bottle. Now that's a real savings I can't overlook. I hear it goes well with macaroni and Velveeta garnished with lots of carrots or do you think the cashier was pulling my leg? Let me know how many bottles to scarf up. Say 40 or 50 should do us for starters?

Also, we can have this shindig at my house. There is a huge meadow just off my back porch. I'll give you all the directions on how to get here. First you go to Cleveland, take a left, go southwest 35 miles and I'm the 10th house from the golf course clubhouse. Call me if you get lost or just look for all the cars parked in front of my house. Can't miss my house as I have a huge 10X20' Budweiser flag flying at half mast for my dearly departed husband.

Twinkie, the champagne sounds like a bargain - and the price is right. No, I'm sure the cashier didn't paste the good labels on the bad bottles.

And I'm rethinking your costume. Budweiser flag, you say?

No, still the 2 lardo raccoons for my costume and the body paint done my maestro excon.

I'm off to the store to scarf up all the DP bottles in the inventory. Gee, they look like the right bottles with the right labels on them. I'll break open a bottle and let you know if I got ripped off or not. Got to taste test. Well, someone's got to do it and I guess I'm elected! I'll call Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs and ask him if he can help me out here.
