This is happening.  Again.  Number three to be precise.  Now I’ll have a Saucer to put in each of the kids’ rooms so neither will get jealous. The wife seems to think the plate quotation should be dedicated to her and/or the family.  I’m still leaning towards obscure adult cartoon quotes. Only two more trips to go!

The final stop on my Stone tour took me to the Flying Saucer.  After spending a few hours drinking Stone beers, I just felt the need to break away from the mundane nature of double IPAs and imperial stouts and experience the master craftsmanship that goes into triple-hop brewing.  It’s probably a good idea that I left before this happened. The Flying Saucer will be hosting another Stone event Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:45.  It coincides with their normal glass night event, so if you want to try some Stone beers and complete your Cheech & Chong barware set at the same time, I suggest you check it out.

It has only taken a year and a half, but I finally broke into the Flying Saucer’s Top 10 alcoholics in KC. I also have the strong urge to change my name to the Six-Fingered Man for the next week or so.  To celebrate, I’m going to go drink some beer at a bowling alley this evening. Only 15 more beers until I get my saucer on the wall.  When my daughter grows up and asks why I wasn’t around much for the first two years of her life, it will be nice to be able to take her into a bar and show her all that her father has accomplished.
