You don't hip holster the beer I drink. For me, beer is a cultural experience.

And...




...3500!

I put this in the NCAA thread, but thought I'd add it here:
Whether or not you respect the rule is one thing, but I sure respect the school for actually enforcing them in a high profile situation (I actually respect the rule too...so that may sway me in a particular direction). Not many schools do that.

Would you believe I own a beer hip holster? No hands required! Well....no hands required for the beer.

**** joke about not liking shaken beer goes here ****


/ I have one somewhere too.
I wore it under my grad gown at my high school graduation, with a trail of straws connected up to sipping-level.

That's a very good point. A lot of schools don't always enforce their rules on their athletes for the sake of winning. Props to them for standing by their guns.

Also, I'm in Indiana right now. Is it always this cold?

Purdue, right? It's been damn cold all along I-94 this year.

Yup, Purdue. It's actually not terrible outside, about the same as around Erie, but my hotel room is frigid, no matter how much I turn up the heater and how much noise the thing makes.

I was in that direction not too far back. The wind was fucking brutal. Dropped the wind chill down at least 20 degrees.

I hope that's not the case while I'm taking my tour.

Hope your tour isn't today. Cold rain in our forecast (but I'm at least an hour and a half away from Purdue. But we're basically in the same line for weather (I'm just directly east of Lafayette). The weather has been ridiculous this year...very inconsistent. We had 60+ weather for three days, and then it snowed 3 inches. Ugh. Then the snow melted and we had flooding and a tornado warning. One thing I love about Western PA: no Tornadoes.

"A company that develops tornado assessment software says the Pittsburgh area ranks seventh in the nation for tornado activity between the last two weeks of May and first two weeks of June."

Wow, for a whole month, and they are generally weak ones. Just wanted to point that out for the people who may have read the headline and not clicked the link...good 'ol media sensationalism. :rolleyes:
