Do they not make ski masks for beer drinkers?

As I mentioned previously (I'm not linking to it, damn it, go find the post on the blog "Readers do the nicest things") a reader sent me a ski mask after I mentioned that my face almost froze off on a recent walking of Jeb the Wonder Dog. Again, go read the blog and find the post. I'm under time constraints here. Anyway, I had not yet had to use the ski mask as a ski mask since I got it -- I had used it as a hat. Tonight, while walking Jeb the Wonder Dog, my face was, again, freezing off.  It is low 20s, maybe high teens tonight, but just enough breeze that my cheeks were starting to hurt, so I pulled the ski mask down.

You know what? It is hard as hell to drink a beer through a ski mask without soaking the damn mask and severely reducing its warmth-giving value. I had to keep pulling the bottom of the mask up so my mouth was free to slurp in the nectar of the gods. It was awkward. I certainly hope there is a beer-drinker's ski mask out there. I intend to look.

BTW, this is what I look like in a ski mask:

And no,  that was not me at your Mini-mart at about midnight.

I think this guy might be my hero

If I ever get bitten by an extremely deadly snake, I hope I have the courage to emulate Rod Sommerville, an Australian man who recently was bitten by an eastern brown snake, an incredibly deadly breed. He killed the snake, then sat down to have a beer while waiting for the ambulance:

The 54-year-old was moving a few pot plants in his yard when the two and half foot snake nipped him on the finger.
Rod's reaction was to grab his shovel and "whack it on the head".
As soon as he was done with the snake, he called an ambulance, grabbed a beer from the fridge and sat down.
"I said to myself, if I'm going to cark it I'm going to have a beer, so I got a Goldie out of the fridge and drank that; 'cause you know eastern browns are the second most venomous snake in the world," Rod said

"If I'm going to cark it, I'm going to have a beer." The presence of mind here, the grace under pressure, is something the rest of us can only aspire to.

Apparently, I am a visionary

I swear, I knew this without benefit of research. Beer is what you should have after working out. Not that I'm advocating working out. I'm advocating beer.

I not only like beer, I like people who like beer. Specifically, women who like beer:

Working that Persian Gulf vibe

Got our first visitor from the United Arab Emirates. Now, how about tossing some of those petrodollars this way via the tip jar? Baby needs new shoes, and Daddy spends a lot on beer. Pay up, sucka.
