Knew that wouldn't get by you, Billy boy!

What're we drinkin' tonight?

 

: potentially :

 

Nothing (yet). I have to get up and drive to Chicago at 9am tomorrow, so i'll probably lay low. I'm going to work on another cocktail recipe after I get back from errands (which naturally includes a stop at the L store).

 

So, why do they call it a "package" store, Billy. You've gotta' know that, right? (I don't know the answer, I'm just naturally inquisitive -- or drunk, I'm not sure I can tell the difference)

 

A package store?? What is that?

 

Really, never heard that, Jeff? A "packy?"

That's what New Englanders call a liquor store. I was assuming that with your rather broad knowledge of things alcoholic, this would be a no brainer for you.

I guess I'll have to go to the dictionary, or maybe even google.

 

I've no idea. I've heard the term but don't know. I always assumed "package" was a sort of dodge or euphemism so one didn't have to say "Liquor" right out loud.

We used to call it the "In and Out Store".

 

That seems to me to be wishful thinking.

 

I'm not sure why it was called the "In and Out". Whether it was that when you went there you were just 'in and out' again or because almost *all* of the stores (Govt run) had an "in" door and and "out" door. As you drive up the doors are marked plainly... "IN" and "OUT"

 

If he says no it will be yellow I'll mention that I wanted to replace the tallow with another one because I assumed they were trees that turned red in the fall and see how good their customer service is. I've got nothing to lose.
