One of the songs on there was about the villain, with his comic sidekick providing occasional commentary.  I don&#8217;t remember the name of the song, the actors, or any of the melody.  The only reason that I remember this at all was the one time I heard him play it, there was a cat hair clinging to the CD causing it to skip&#8230;  The result was a five minute span where we were paralyzed with laughter while the comic sidekick repeated the phrase &#8220;More beer?&#8221; over and over&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That phrase is no longer funny.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIn addition to finishing up the administrivia associated with a wedding and a name change, we went shopping for sealable containers.  We found a couple tupperware-style 8 quart food storage buckets at GFS.  They&#8217;re now full.  We cleaned out four more 2 liter bottles.  They&#8217;re now full.<\/p>\n<p>I think we may have acquired a bottomless keg from some sorcerer&#8217;s cave.<\/p>\n<p>And the stuff is too good to just get rid of&#8230;  We&#8217;re calling in friends and having them bring over anything sealable that can hold liquid, but I&#8217;m starting to think that we may need to start watering the shrubbery with it.  Supposedly, it will help prevent pests&#8230;  My parents were given similar advice about a keg long ago, but watered houseplants instead and the results were rather fungal.  If it was summer I could see leaving cups of beer outside to drown slugs.  As it is, it&#8217;s more likely to result in drunk skunks and stray dogs roaming the neighborhood, bumming cigarettes and spare change, and picking fights with each other.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll all be out of our hands tomorrow&#8230;  The keg and tapper will be back at the brewpub, empty or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ages ago, one of my friends got the &#8220;Beauty and the Beast&#8221; soundtrack.
