Another stab at liquor law reform

[Townsend]

Why do people go crazy for fat tire?  I was deeply disappointed the first time I tried it.  Is it the whole cuban cigar phenomenon?

It gained notoriety in the age of Coors and Budweiser.  It's less outstanding now that there are so many styles available to us.

Fat Tire remains a well known brand that opened our minds but not our liquor laws.

Maybe because some people like different beer than you?

I recognize.   It's just that I think that there are other beers that are in the state that are similar in flavor profile but are just better.  *shrug* de gustibus non disputandum est.

Why, Jacobi, does this mean we're not friends anymore?

Of course we are.  Semper Amici in interneto summus.  But if we go any farther with tombstone references I'm quickly going to remember that I am no Val Kilmer.  Then I'll just be depressed all day.  Oh damn it, Now I'm depressed.

Be very glad you aren't Val Kilmer these days. FWIW, Santa Fe Nut Brown is an outstanding ale.  I quit finding it necessary to bring a trunk load of Fat Tire back from surrounding states after I discovered that one.  New Belgium does have some really great IPA's though.

I just like taking the dudes along on a short roadie.  Gives us a chance to stop in B'Ville and harden our arteries at Murphy's.  

Maybe not too soon though, unless later in the evening.  If the temps are going to be this brutally hot, I'll wait until it cools a little.

Wow, he's dressing a little like a portly Ozzy Osbourne these days.

"All aboooaaarddd...hahahahahaha!"

He looks more like a Van Zant than a Val Kilmer.

No doubt.  Since he's a New Mexico resident, maybe he's partaking of too much Santa Fe Nut Brown.

State Supreme Court rules wine petition can proceed

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that an initiative petition seeking a vote on a plan to let some grocery stores sell wine can proceed.


The ruling came following a legal challenge brought by Oklahoma City convenience store owner Yousef Javadzadeh and anti-addition groups.

Supporters must collect about 155,000 votes to get the issue on the ballot.

"I would say we are quite pleased," said Brian Howe, director of Oklahomans for Modern Laws, which plans to circulate the petition. "We are looking forward to moving forward with the petition drive."

He said it is unlikely the petition process can be completed to get the issue on the Nov. 6 statewide ballot. If that can't be accomplished, the measure will be on the 2014 ballot, if enough signatures are gathered and approved, he said.

If approved by voters, State Question 763 would let counties of at least 50,000 people consider a limited expansion of retail wine sales. The expansion would require approval by voters in the county.

If approved, grocery stores and warehouse clubs with at least 25,000 square feet of floor space would be allowed to sell wine.
