They used to sell this stuff called "beer cheese" at the A&P before they folded. Kinda like a port wine cheese except, y'know, made with beer. Anyhoo, take it from me, you DO NOT WANT to give this stuff to the dog, if you value you olfactory senses. Something about a dog's digestive system will turn beer cheese into a cross between mustard gas and month-old gym socks with the feet still in them. You'll be begging for the sarin nerve gas to end the torment but there won't be any. Just a dog farting uncontrollably and staring confusedly at it's own ass. "WTF? What the hell came out of there? Man, I gotta go back to eating my own poo so my farts smell better. Woops! Looks like master's fallen down and crawling towards the door. Hey, are we going out for a walk? I really need to walk off this gas. Hey! Wake up! WAKE UP!"

That must be a pain to clean up.

With clothes on, I mean.

Crap it's calves not calf's. No worries I'll just post a third comment and take up more space.

"Attention! Can I get a cleanup on Aisle 6? The one that looks and smells like the set of a German Scheiße video?"

"would you like some beer with that cheese?"

doesn't quite work as well does it?

i don't know why someone hasn't invented beer flavored milk already. i think i may patent that idea, plus i like getting cows drunk and taking advantage of their udders anyway.

Is this the Safeway that is referred to affectionately (I guess that's the word) as the Soviet Safeway? Long lines and no food on the shelves. If so, we can add another item: lots of alcohol to make the proletariat masses meek. Ah, comrades?

I dunno about the rest of you but that sign makes my asshole want to cry. And I stress "want to", b/c that combo is usually a two chapter visit to the loo for moi.

Beer flavored milk? Did anyone else just have a flashback to a Clockwork Orange? Anyone? Or am I the only dork here?

Cheese Beer.

So good.

Especially Rogue's Weizenbleu:

Unfiltered!.

@SpeakSoftlyCarryABigStick, no it's the Sandanista safeway near 18th and Columbia Road.

"Snack Time" definitely gives me a pain in the gulliver, but "Dairy Choices" makes me want to "implement an evacuation plan" in my Batman Underoos.

It's not the Soviet Safeway - it doesn't sell beer and wine.

[23] | 07/02/08 01:32PM

Cheese, beer & wine sounds like the best snack time ever. I would need some crackers, though.

flapjack - Every day is Naked Thursday...when you have a gun.

Now, what kind of hockey mask does one wear on Naked Thursday? Jason Voorhees or Mardi Gras homo with purple feathers and spangles?

Now, if you want crackers, you need to go to the Virginia Safeway. They tend to linger in either the scrapple section or the potted meat product aisle.

I rilly likes me this here potted meat, mhm. Mostly snouts an' peckers, mhm. Most folks calls it a sling blade, but I calls it a kaiser blade, mhm.

oooh scrapple!

And fortunately, Aisle 5 is Laxatives/Floor Polish/Dessert Toppings.

I like this Ano-Weet, it really unclogs me. I mean a lot of others say they unclog you, but I never had a single bowel movement with the 'Recto-Puffs.' No, the stuff I liked was that stuff they gave us before the war, what was it - Wilkinson's Number 8 Laxative Cereal! Phew! That one went through you like a bloody Ferrari. Do you remember 'Go-Eazi'? They were hopeless. Tasted foul and stuck inside you like flooring adhesive.

That sign reads exactly like my grocery list.

monkey - as much as I love spangles the purple feathers would clash with the lime green boa I stole off Bethesdaist. I was thinking something leather with a ball gag and leash but, you know, whatever you're more comfortable with.

Well, I used to have a darling little Hannible Lecter number made out of astroturf and chicken wire, a Gautier original, but that witch Paris Hilton borrowed it. Hate her! I wouldn't even want it back now. She's probably stretched it all out of shape and there isn't enough Tilex in DC to get all the herpes off it.

The Soviet Safeway was either the Town House/Safeway near GW campus or the store at the Watergate. At least it was when I lived downtown 12 years ago.

Meanwhile, I want to find this magic beer cow.

To combat such intestinal distress, I chase my pepper-jack stout with a tablespoon of Jameson's yogurt.

Shortly after that, the carpet goes all treadmill on me, and I wake up fifteen hours later with my nose in my mouth...

The one on Columbia is Spanish Safeway. Also known as I-don't-go-to-it-anymore-since-Harris-Teeter-opened Safeway.
