I said the same thing about speakeasies to friends a week ago.
To: lodi90
With all bars and restaurants closed we are going to have speakeasies popping up again. People want to socialize and drink. They wont be locked down forever.

.... looking forward to it. I'll be at "The Alibi Dive".

My grandmother used to tell lots of wild stories about going to speakeasies during prohibition. She said you’d never seen people drink so much as when it was illegal.

At one time our official state travel slogan was Youve Got a Friend in Pennsylvania.
Guess that isnt technically true.

LOL ... true.

Famously there is a town in Lancaster County called Intercourse, PA.
They had a contest to pick a new PA travel slogan and some wag suggested “Virginia May Be for Lovers, But Only Pennsylvania Has Intercourse”.
Weenie Gov. Thornburg refused to put that on the license plates.

The public might realize that these Prohibition era holdovers are not so much as to generate revenue for the unit of government as for the government to control alcohol consumption.

That's great.

If you know where to go in Fayette County, it is already here. Folks have been using heirloom recipes since colonial days and, I am told, it is better quality than what they sell in the state stores.

Back in the day I went with my girl friend and her family to New Holland Pa, to buy feed for their horses. As we browsed around the the store, My girl friend motions me to come over to see what she is looking at. It was a calendar from you guessed it Intercourse, Pa, she looked at me and gave me a sly smile, then we both laughed. Lol those were the days.

Intercourse is just down the road form Blue Ball.
To: Empireoftheatom48
Supposedly Intercourse Borough has given-up posting road signs that say “Welcome to Intercourse” because every last one of them gets stolen and hung over somebody’s bed.

I’m still confused as to whether or not I am a Flubro.
I am a flubro - just like Im deplorable and a climate change denier. I am also whatever they call a person who thinks there are only two genders, and you are born that way.
Apparently, all you need to do to be called a flubro, is compare Covid-19 to seasonal flu. I think its a legitimate comparison, so I guess Im a flubro.
Oh well, Ive been called a lot worse.

ANOTHER antidote to the “erection lasting over 4 hours”.
That’s a MAN Baby Yeah!

which set off an absolute STAMPEDE of booze hoarders
I went to drop off some boxes at local USPS -- which was prudent enough to leave doors open so no need to push/pull door handles -- and also swung by the CPV (Communist Party of Virginia) liquor store. It was about 11:58am, and there was a small crowd of people outside the store. Curios, I asked about, and someone yelled, "opens at noon!"
Okay, whatever, so VA has limited store hours in order to -- uh, concentrate customers? I went back to my car and did some work on my tablet for 20 minutes, awaiting the 20 other people to leave. When I entered, I was the only one, and I was able to grab the two remaining JD 1.75 bottles...

If other neighboring states had shut their liquor sales down, I’d by producing ten gallons a day of 170% neutral spirits. The hard part would be finding enough mason jars and such.
But for now, there is not enough demand.
