It's funny. I was checking out the archives and it turns out that it was exactly one year ago to this day - that I was complaining about not remembering it was Thanksgiving. Well, it more or less happened again. Happy Turkey Day weekend anyway.
Did the Pilgrims land on Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer?
Sounds ludicrous? Well, actually it's true. Except that the pilgrims had a different definition of the word "beer." For most of us, Beer is cold, wet, and good reason to continue living so we can continue to drink more of it. For many, it's a necessity for a good life; for the pilgrims, it was a matter of life and death. You can read about how they had their priorities worked out at the "Straight Dope". One of my favorite places to hang out (besides Casinomeister):

A couple had only been married for two weeks and the husband, although very
much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old
buddies. So, he said to his new wife, "Honey, I'll be right back."
"Where are you going, Coochy Coo?" asked the wife.
"I'm going to the bar, Pretty Face," he answered. "I'm going to have a
beer."
The wife said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the
refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12
different countries: Germany , Holland , Japan , India , etc.
The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think
of saying was, "Yes, Lollipop... but at the bar... You know... they have
frozen glasses... "
He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by
saying, "You want a frozen glass, Puppy Face?" She took a huge beer mug
out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.
The husband, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, Tootsie Roll, but at the bar
they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be
long. I'll be right back. I promise. OK?"
"You want hors d'oeuvres, Poochie Pooh?" She opened the oven and took out
5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets,
mushroom caps, and little quiches.
"But my sweet honey... at the bar.... you know there's swearing, dirty
words and all that..."
"You want dirty words, Cutie Pie? LISTEN UP CHICKEN SHIT! SIT YOUR ASS
DOWN, SHUT THE HELL UP, DRINK YOUR BEER IN YOUR FROZEN MUG AND EAT YOUR
FRIGGIN' HORS D'OEUVRES BECAUSE YOUR MARRIED ASS AIN'T GOING TO ANY DAMNED BAR! THAT
SHIT IS OVER, GOT IT, JACKASS?"
and...they lived happily ever after. Isn't that a sweet story?
