No shame in that game, huh Jason Z.

@ Don't Shake the Baby
Don't hate the player....
At least I didn't mention my March Madness specials that start next Thursday.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to keep it simple this year.
I'll try better next time.

After looking it over and coming to my senses, that is a little too much. I'll be more careful next time. I just copied and pasted it. My bad!!
I'll keep my game in check;)

The only special that the management at FuL is running is that there are no specials.
And Sessa still isn't invited.

Blast!

First person using my sally port as a Port A John gets a warning shot. Second, not as lucky.
Whoops, just realized I'm not in Texas any more. Will stick to the airhorn.
Posted by: Fells Point | March 12, 2010 3:09 PM
I have the best specials and you are not invited. I will get my own Guiness and chill with friends because I don't feel like dealing with parking issues and stupid drunk people all while spending too much money for green beer.
Cheap!

That cereal bar sounds COOL! Sounds worth checking out as I avoid Irish Pubs on St Pats. Too packed for my taste :-)
Posted by: Gina | March 13, 2010 6:28 PM
I'm taking my one cent Guiness and using that as the milk for my free Lucky Charms.
