I've never had Mad Dog, either... Had I known it came in lime green, perhaps I would have tried it. hmmm

MAD DOG!!! :) :) :) Don't get me wrong, I don't actually LIKE the stuff - we used to buy a couple of bottles of 'Da Dog' and pass it around the bleachers at softball tournaments during our breaks . . . yeah, apparently the cases of beer we brougth just weren't enough . . . ;)

When I took my daughter to the new video store last spring, she was only 5. We were zooming by the New Releases and I noticed that she was only about five or six titles behind. No big deal. Turn around to look at a few more movies and when I turned back again she was gone.
Within that split second, she had found her way into the adult video section. I rounded the corner just as she peaked her head into the "naughty room" (as we now know it) and snatched her as fast as I could. Imagine those watching as I walked out of the adult video section hand in hand with a five year old girl. Awesome.

2005-09-07T09:01:00.000-05:00

That's nothing!! When I was pregnant I actually HELD UP a liquor store at KNIFEPOINT!

Wait.... no. That never actually happened I guess.

Here's an interesting cultural lesson for ya'll: Here in NC liquor sales are controlled by the state. We have to buy hard liquor in state-run "ABC" (Alcoholic Beverage Control) store. Wine, beer, etc. are all sold in regular grocery or convenience stores, who in turn are not allowed to sell liquor.

Sounds to me like there could be the basis for a film here Karla. I await Part II. :)

awesome story, karla =D

2005-09-06T17:42:00.000-05:00

Yeah, you're right, that's pretty yeehaw, isn't it? It's actually pretty common here, too.

As if beer in the stroller isn't funny enough... Am I the only one humored by the liquor store handing out samples?!!

might i suggest some boone's farm for next time? the fruits on the bottle make it much classier than the toothy dog of md 20/20.

2005-09-06T09:16:00.000-05:00

HAHA... Nothing like some MD 20/20!!! So if this is pt.1 I can't wait to see what pt2 is going to entail. Besides... I remember breaking my teeth on good ole Whiskey.. Didn't hurt me any!!

i bought some md 20/20 to remember my youth, i bought the kiwi version, it tastes nothing like kiwi...ugh - when you are young you will drink anything...

and my auntie smoked (not sure about drank) throughout her pregnancies and they all turned out normal (well comparatively)...

2005-09-05T18:48:00.000-05:00

I howled while reading this, just to picture a pregnant you in a liquor store. Truth be told, I would be ALL judgemental, it's just that I'd be thinking the mean thoughts and not giving them voice.
Your vodka mudslides reminds me of getting drunk, LITERALLY, in a local high-end grocery store where they hand out coffee cups of wine.

Brilliantly told.

2005-09-05T14:50:00.000-05:00

What's the deal with that?! My liquor store gives kids lollipops too. The clerk mentioned that to me. Are they trying to attract a younger clientele?

2005-09-05T13:11:00.000-05:00

Great story. I take my 4-year old with me to help me wine/beer/booze shop all the time--because our liquor store gives kids lollipops.

2005-09-05T12:27:00.000-05:00

I also just realized that the title has a "Part I..." Boy am I looking forward to the next installment. I'm hoping it's the tale of when you bought lil' Jake his first hooker.

2005-09-05T12:26:00.000-05:00

The picture of you, baby on hip, pushing a stroller full of beer is PRICELESS. Put on a dirty house dress and dangle a cigarette from your lip and you've pretty much perfected the art of trash.

I myself do not drink, and so I have known for years what you've just discovered. You drunk people? NOT NEARLY as funny as you think you are.

Ooh - except when you fall down. That shit is hysterical.

2005-09-05T10:58:00.000-05:00

Even though I have yet to have a baby....I haven't been drinking as much as I used to....and drunk people are soooooooooooooooo annoying. I always thought they were funny before.

That should be a law: Friends must be around Friends drunk. All or none.

2005-09-05T08:00:00.000-05:00

Well, I did have a glass of red wine now and then while I was pregnant--but always with my husband nearby screeching, "Only half a glass! You're going to kill my baby!"

2005-09-05T03:20:00.000-05:00

be careful karla. now you'll have dcfs searching for something goofy and come upon your site and read this post and they'll come tomorrow to take your baby away. ;) i mean i'm already #1 Deutch Bag (try it, search google for deutch bag, i'm #1) they might think you are too? :P

2005-09-05T02:08:00.000-05:00

See, I would've asked if they did a girt wrapping service for the pure trailer park trash of it. Imagine, cashier wrapping up a 20/20 all pretty with a big flowing bow.

I have to agree with Christi - I';m not a big drinker but someonething about first trimester just made me crave beer! Curry and a beer, oh wow it was heavenly. And had it every night just about. I got big real quick.

2005-09-05T01:19:00.000-05:00

You know, while I was prego w/my first, my hubby actually started drinking! I never quite got that one!

You're better than me. We didn't even go home before I made my hubby stop and get Mexican food and my giant margarita after we left the hospital w/our first! It was only a week before I took the second and the toddler out for my giant margarita! I'm sure I looked like a great mom, especially after two sips and my huge buzz!

What you're supposed to do is pinch the baby while you're there, and then no one will question why you're buying a ton of alcohol. My kids cried the whole time I was at my dr. appt., and not only did I get my anti-depressants, but she doubled the dosage and gave me a whole year's worth w/o question!

2005-09-04T19:25:00.000-05:00

a judgmental liquor store clerk? now that would make a great sitcom, my friend. but come on, it's texas. when i grew up in texas, my dad would buy liquor in one store, have me hold onto the bag, and leave me in the car with the windows cracked while he bought ammo for his 44 mag. no one's judging ;)

2005-09-04T14:12:00.000-05:00

I also found out while pregnant: drunk people are nowhere near as funny as they think they are! Plus, I bet the liquor store employees have seen much, much worse than a mom with a stroller full of beer...

"The Whole Year Inn" vs "The Hole You're In" - Leaving Las Vegas

When I worked at a liquor store it was a little surprising to see how some people live. But after the third well weathered person comes in and pukes on the floor – then continues to buy another gallon of Gordon’s or Five O’ Clock – you become pretty accepting of anything.
