I wonder if anyone would notice this sign in the backyard. #railroads
Show threadAI6YR Ben15h ago
So many signs

If you ever want to open up one of those kitchy Route 66 souvenir shops... Looks like this is the place to go, lol.

Hmm, there are two morse code keys in there. Among other stuff. I imagine the plae is chock full of random stuff.

Ship's wheel? Cowboy hat? Entire gas station replica buliding with gas pumps? Shelled Walnuts sign?

My first legal beer was a Rolling Rock. Lol

@RVLara23 @ai6yr I'm so sorry.

@W6KME @ai6yr

I like Rolling Rock. A nice nostalgia beer. And they put on a helluva Rock festival too.

But alas, it wasn't my choice. It was bought for me.

@RVLara23 @W6KME I've only bought Rolling Rock once in my life. (and I didn't drink any of it). I bought it in the middle of the day, on a bicycle, and the clerk there treated me like I was a problem day drinker and quietly rang me up and let me out the side door of our grocery store ("hey, buddy, you don't have to go out the front entrance... I'll let you out here...") 😂

(It was for slugs, but ended up all consumed by the wood rats)

@ai6yr @RVLara23 Oof, if I had gotten that sort of treatment, I'd have drunk it on the spot without breaking eye contact. Even a Rolling Rock.

I assume they still make it? I don't think I've even seen it anywhere since I left the East Coast.

Show threadW6KME8h ago
@RVLara23 @ai6yr Budweiser bought them a couple of decades ago. They make it in Jersey now, while still putting the original brewery address on the label. It's usually the cheapest stuff in the store. Definitely not the beer that Latrobe Brewing brought out in the 1930s.

@W6KME @RVLara23 Actually, I take that back, I did make "beer can chicken" with some of the beer.
Show threadW6KME8h ago
@ai6yr @RVLara23 Wow, I actually think I remember that from Twitter posts.

Interesting. Well, that explains a lot.

@RVLara23 @W6KME @ai6yr ain't made in old Latrobe anymore

@ai6yr @RVLara23 @W6KME It is actually a nice lager. Can’t believe you wasted it on slugs and wood rats. Although if you have ever seen LaTrobe PA, you might wonder where exactly the mountain springs are. 🤣
Show threadW6KME8h ago
@CavedaleRhones @ai6yr @RVLara23 It hasn't been brewed there in quite some time. Possibly after someone pointed out there weren't any springs?

@ai6yr @RVLara23 @W6KME In college, the folks in the apartment next to us were all geology majors. They had "rock" parties. The puns never stopped. It was the only beer they had.
