Shouldn't this have had an ironic tag?

A glass of bar walks into a restaraunt. The head waiter says, "Sorry, we don't serve alcohol here."

Yeah, that joke's not even close to funny.

What? I had some mighty fine brewskies in Edinburgh.

Do I gotta be the boobieser to say it?

This thread is worthless without pics!
 
2005-08-18 02:53:13 PM
"A glass of bar"?
 
2005-08-18 02:53:23 PM
I think this is perfectly valid. She doing as an advertisement. Advertising at a venue without permission can get you kicked out, alcohol or not.
 
2005-08-18 02:53:26 PM
This is Scotland we're talking about?
 
2005-08-18 02:56:58 PM
Quit yer biatchin. They don't want alcohol there, so why would they want the suggestion of alcohol?

/coming from someone who loves his booze
 
2005-08-18 02:58:29 PM
She must have not been dressed as a "light" beer.

/Hinting she may have been a FAT CHICK.

didnt read the article.. but wtf?

One time in Scotland, I saw a street performer in a fan-inflated frankenstien costume. Unfortunately, it was a soccer night, so a guy runs up, jumps on his back, and the costume folds in on itself and couldn't get reinflated. Beer lady, watch your back!

"Deuchars beer"

Heh heh, they said deuche.
 
2005-08-18 03:00:15 PM
This beer IS NOT CRAP!

/oblig

You'd think that she wouldn't want to waste her time advertising a product in an area where the sale of that product is prohibited, anyway.
 
2005-08-18 03:01:23 PM
No son, it would be ironic if alcohol COULD be served on the premises. The fact that it cant be served means this should get the appropriate tag. Have you been listening to Alainus Moriset again?
 
2005-08-18 03:03:17 PM
I thought they sold booze everywhere in Scotland.
 
2005-08-18 03:03:29 PM
was it jude law, simply mistaken for a woman because of his small penis?

Imagine that places other than the US have dry "counties". It must be the conservatives at work.

/Sorry I had to.

It reminds me of the times that GW barred people from wearing certain clothes, or the olympic committee, which tries its hardest every 4 years to be a giant duchebag.

The local council already ruled that was no reason to ban Ms McKie from dressing up as a large alcoholic drink, but you know, that doesn't really mean much now, does it?

A city council spokeswoman said: "It is a Fringe event so it is up to the Fringe what takes place on the site."

Which I guess the steward was a representative of? Bah. I give up. In the US it would have been up to a judge or policeman.

"My name's Barney, and I'm an alcoholic "

"Mr. Gumble, this is a girl scout meeting!"

"It is? Or is it that you girls can't admit that you have a problem!"

Whoever it is, she won't be the St. Pauli Girl

I'm sure they wouldn't have said anything if I'd been dressed as a giant banana.


Well, they would have said something, but it probably would have been sexual. At least, that's what I would have done.
 
2005-08-18 03:20:34 PM
There's a venue in Scotland that doesn't allow alcohol?

It may not be the picture I was looking for, but-

I'll never call this thread worthless again.
 
2005-08-18 03:22:51 PM
She could be naked as a jaybird but if she was doing some sort of promotional work I'd kick her out of my venue.

Now I just need to add that sentence to an appropriate image and we have a new "I'd hit it!" tag.

" DaH-Beers " get Das Boot


/sorry thats really bad
 
2005-08-18 03:26:52 PM
"Can you get this car home?"

"Sure thing, giant beer!" *braaaaaap*


/obvious
//can't find screencap

Having had many pints, I wonder how much beer is in a giant pint? .... and did it have a head?


/Likes beer
//...and head
///...and baffling numbers of raccoon scrotums.
 
2005-08-18 03:31:27 PM
So which one was it - Surly, Tipsy, Queasy, Sleazy, Edgy, Dizzy, or Remorseful?

/hopes it was Sleazy
 
2005-08-18 03:34:33 PM

"It comes in pints?"
"So does a Mumakil."
 
2005-08-18 03:48:00 PM
That has to be the driest reporting I've read lately. How many times are we told the same thing in successive sentences?

/get it?
//dry?
//Slashy McSlash
 
2005-08-18 04:01:31 PM
What if she dressed up as a non-alcholic beer?

/what's the point of non-alcholic beers anyway?
 
2005-08-18 04:14:59 PM


Surly only looks out for one guy--Surly.

I'm sure they wouldn't have said anything if I'd been dressed as a giant banana.

No teasing the public

Mugato: This is Scotland we're talking about?



I think this action just revoked their citizenship.
 
2005-08-18 05:25:59 PM
Definatly Ironic
Only could have been much more ironic if it happend in Ireland
 
2005-08-18 06:01:24 PM
Mugato: This is Scotland we're talking about?

That's what's weird. Specifically, we're talking about Edinburgh. It's a city where there are no prohibitions whatsoever on drinking in public - hence why you always see people in the Gardens with lots of alcohol to accompany their picnics. Drinking in public is perfectly legal here.

So how the hell did they manage to make part of the city non-drinking??? I'm going to suspect that this is someone overstepping their authority...
 
2005-08-18 06:28:12 PM
I'm always depressed when articles about dry towns don't include a meteor falling from the sky to put them out of their misery.
 
2005-08-18 06:33:39 PM
What if she had on a t-shirt that said "BUY CALEDONIAN BEER"? I don't see how this is different.

/unless some guys decided to 'tip' her.
 
2005-08-18 06:43:09 PM
They don't do that kind of crap in Ireland.

There, they would have tried to tap her.

heh.
