Is that even legal? I believe Texas can have open container.

And you're allowed to pee anywhere you want to.

kind of like San Francisco.

No open container in Texas. DUI laws are pretty strict down here.

I did finally get to try Whataburger down south of it and it wasn't all that, except the fries. There were some decent steak houses and seafood joints as one would expect. Chevron gas was $2.25/gallon due to no state taxes.

The Woodlands is probably one of the better places to visit in the Houston area. Lots of bad ass restaurants, the river walk, pubs, and golf.

I've never been there but a golfing buddy of mine tells me the Woodllands is the shiznot of golf in Texas....he was able to get on the Woodlands Country Club and said it was fantastic....he also played the two courses located the Woodlands resort and said both were great courses....his only complaint was that the wind apparently blows all the time.....maybe that's why PGA guys from Texas are pretty proficient at playing in the wind....

Uhm...

By "no state," you meant to say "7 states don't have open container laws," right?

And to make it all the more hilarious... the state you live in is one of them.

Along with Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, and Connecticut.

Are you sure about Ct?

I am fairly certain driving around sipping on a brew will get you pulled over and ticketed, regardless of the number you blow. Perhaps it has changed in recent years, but, back in the day when I was slightly more likely to have a beer open while driving, I was fairly certain you'd get pinched if you were pulled open with open containers.

Pretty sure all 7 of those states still forbid the driver of the vehicle from drinking.

Son of a bitch, Dins is right.

Looks like the passenger can drink his ass off in Ct. Doubt I will be putting this newfound info to the test though.

Anyone got any good pulled over by the cops stories? I have one. Fortunately, it doesn't end with me in cuffs. I was with my life-long buddy and drinking partner Jay. We were in Maine for the Navy retirement of a mutual friend. I knew Jay would be getting hammered, so, I layed off the alcohol, somewhere around 6 PM (it was a long party). Jay continued on his mission to drink Maine dry. We left somewhere close to midnight. On the way back to the hotel, I start turning onto a one-way road, just as I see the one way sign. So I hit the brakes and start backing up. Not far behind us is one of Brunswick, Maine's finest. He hits the lights and I pull immediately into the cumberland farms parking lot. It's New England, there is a cumbie's every other intersection. I think it's a law. Jay, being extremely drunk prolly wasn't aware that I was extremely sober, so he starts freaking out.

Jay: Fukkk!!!! Fukkk!!! your're going to jail dude and they're gonna tow my fukking car!!!!

Me: Relax Jay, I am as sober as you are drunk.

I was actually getting quite the chuckle out of the whole thing watching Jay shit himself

PoPo: How you guys doing? Did you see the one-way sign. Have you been drinking....blah....blah....

Me: Hi officer. We aren't from around here. Didn't notice the sign until I was turning. And no, I haven't had anything to drink in many hours unlike my partner here. He's had enough for both of us.

So, we do the license/reg routine. He was pertty cool. He didn't make me get out and walk the line BS as I think he knew I was stone cold sober, or at least one damn good actor. he did have me count backwards from 100 to 86, I think. Then recite the alphabet.

PoPo: Can you recite the alphabet

Me: Can I sing it?

PoPo: Smiling, sort of. No, just say it.

So, I give him my best monotone rendition of the alphabet. It really is easier if you can sing.

After the cop left, I look over at a still traumatized and slightly less drunk Jay. He is giving me an incredulous, slightly pissed off stare.

Jay: "Can I sing it? Can I fukking sing it?" You fukking asshole!!!!!

He was half pissed, half laughing. I think he was finally coming to the realization that he wasn't gonna be sitting on the curb as his car and best friend were towed away.

It was better than 10 years ago and he still busts my balls about it.

Prime is over at Broken Keyboards. Your favorite Al Kaholic runs it.

:P

Bace is gone. Most everyone has flown that coup, including me. Prime is still there, with a couple other dickheads.

That's too bad. Bace was one of the funniest fuckers there was. Other than Prime, who would we know there?

titlover? fat funker? RK? The others.........not sure you'd know, besides Alkie.
