Brewfest Time

Lisa and I went to the Warminster Micro Blues Brewfest yesterday. We ran into my old German teacher from High School. This is the second time I’ve seen him at a beerfest. It was fun talking to him again. It’s odd but I can’t seem to call him by his first name… I am compelled to call him Herr H.

In the middle of the festivities there was a kiosk set up and they were selling spices, t-shirts, and cigars. The t-shirts made no sense to me. One of the t-shirts read: 4acebook
I couldn’t figure out the reasoning behind replacing the 4 with an F. I asked the guy behind the counter and he said, “It’s for the 4 Aces.”

“Ahhh, okay, thanks!” I had no idea what he was talking about but to ask him to elaborate seemed useless… kinda like when you ask someone to repeat themselves twice and rather than ask a third time it’s just easier to smile, nod your head, and say, “Yeah, you got it.”

Lisa then piped up, “Donna! Admit it… you still have no clue what he’s referring to… 4 ACES?!?”

The guy looked at us like we were stupid and said it had something to do with the Phillies. No wonder I had no idea. I don’t follow football.

Lisa decided to buy a cigar. The girl selling the cigars told us to get the cigar with the naked black chick on its sleeve. She said it tasted like chocolate. Somehow I was reminded of this song and dance number from the movie, Hair:

At any rate, I once tried to smoke a cigar a number of years ago and found the entire experience unsettling and off-putting. This time was different. I didn’t mind it. Can’t say I will ever do it again but it wasn’t nearly as disgusting as I remember.

Lisa went back towards the end of the event and bought 3 more cigars. Rather than giving her just the 3 cigars, the girl filled up the bag with an additional 4 cigars AND a bottle of curry spice.

“Do you think she liked me? Why else would she give me so many free cigars?”

“Lisa, she’s a pusher! A dealer! She wants to get you hooked so you will keep buying from her.”

“Gosh, I feel so dirty and used now.”

After the event, we went to New Hope to buy a cutter for the cigars. I am wondering if Lisa really has plans to take up smoking cigars? The girl who sold them to her had said that she smokes 3 – 5 A DAY! I find that incredible. Honestly, I didn’t get any pleasure or relaxation from it. I don’t get it. Whatever.

    B DAVIS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??! I’ve been worried about you. You unfriended me on Facebook and then you were silent here for weeks. I was worried I had either insulted you or you had gotten hit by a car.

    When I heard 4 Aces, I did think it was the pop group.

    Or maybe they were referring to the four aces that Rick Perry has been dealt. If you saw the GOP “debate” about a week ago you might recall that Mitt Romney wasn’t impressed by the economy in Texas. “Mr. Perry….in your state you have no income tax and lots of oil and natural gas. That’s like be dealt four aces and then calling yourself a poker champion”. That was a GOOD zinger. (Facebook message sent)
