Adventure Tuesdays: Barney’s Beanery and Goose

We realize it’s Wednesday, but Adventure Tuesday typically ends on Wednesday morning. Sometimes spontaneous and random things happen on Tuesday night. There’s also a good chance that nothing happens. So last night?

Our old friend Goose was in from out of town. She wanted to hang out at the Beanery for old times sake and so some of us gathered to engorge our fat asses on pints, all things bacon and the most scrumptious of seasoned wedges you can lick your tongue on. Although many would believe that she gets her name from the time honored American classic Top Gun for being an excellent wingman to her male and female fighter pilots, that would however be an incorrect assumption.

It’s actually better.

To our dismay, Goose doesn’t drink beer. So when she was in the process of being initiated into a club of drinking ne’er-do-wells, she hit a stump. The initiation process demanded one very physical challenge that involved running over 26 miles and finishing it off with a pint of beer. Correction: 26.2 miles to be exact and slamming a pint of beer. The running wasn’t a problem for her, but when you don’t drink beer it becomes a problem. A problem she sought to correct by her own means. So what does she do? While amidst the taunts and ridicule of laughter and sneering eyes of disappointment, she grabs a bottle of Grey Goose, fills up her pint glass, and proceeds to imbibe the clear liquid solution without blinking.

Needless to say, everybody had STFU.
