Check with Wesley Mouch.
That's what - October? Someone can't figure out a way around things by then?
Baseball season may come to an end in September for Minnesota this year...the Twins are struggling.
Good grief! This morning there was the harrowing report that campers couldn’t find a place to pee in the state parks. Truly, an easy problem to solve on anybody’s IQ tests but apparently a tough nut to crack for Minnesota statists and lefty newspapers.
Now there’s this problem with a state run monopoly on alcohol and tobacco. I can’t believe this is a real problem
Look on the bright side. The unemployed can now go into the smuggling business, bringing in cigarettes, beer, whiskey and more from adjacent states. Years ago, Minnesota banned the sale of oleomargarine and my relatives in Duluth used to stock up whenever they visited us in Illinois. I’m sure what worked then works now.
I’ll bet the folks in the Dakotas, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ontario and Manitoba would be happy to do business and meet the demand. Some might even be willing to truck in supplies and demonstrate how little Minnesota’s citizens truly need all those high paid state employees*.
I wonder what happens if the Strib runs out of newsprint or ink.
*I stopped using the word “workers” to describe union employees of government. I’m open to an alternative to “employees” if anyone has any suggestions.
Look at the bright side. Maybe the new era of bootleggers smuggling alcohol into Minnesota state will create a new auto racing series. That’s how stock car racing got it’s start. Maybe we will see Ford Lightning’s running at midnight without headlights at 130 mph.
It’s not the selling, it’s the purchasing. They can’t buy new stock because they don’t have their purchasing cards. Whatever those are.
If people start bootlegging smokes, beer, liquor, wine and other fine, ingestible substances I bet the MN governor and Nappy at DHS will label the bootleggers as “domestic terrorists.”
B - double E - double R - U - N
B-double-double e- double r u-n — Beerrun....
Funny, when I started reading these comments, I started remembering a song that I had heard only once in my life. About 6 years ago, the husband and I went to visit a son and his who were living in WI at the time.
A song came on in our rented car as we were driving from the airport to their town. It was called “Beerrun”. I have since searched for it on the Web, but I have never been able to find that version of it. Interesting.
Shovel-leaners and chair-warmers?
Does anyone remember the Stroh's Beer poster entitled "Beer Run"? It showed the Stroh's mascot, Alex the Dog, riding a motorcycle wearing goggles, a leather jacket and the motorcycle's compartments were overflowing with Stroh's beer. Minnesotans need to train their dogs to make beer runs to IA & WI.
Road trip!
“Shovel-leaners and chair-warmers?”
Not bad. I’m also considering organic themes like parasites, tumors, leeches, etc.
In Wisconsin now, you can have a beer AND a gun!
Yeah!
