Stolen Beer Suit
Michigan Police Search for Stolen Beer Costume
Detroit–Metro cops are uniting behind a heinous case the likes of which haven’t been seen in the notorious city before. Could they be investigating a septuple-homicide on the west end? A massive drug ring? A serial arsonist? Nahhh! This is Detroit we’re talking about. There aren’t enough police resources in the whole department to handle all the “serious” crimes that happen in this unfortunate city, plus the cops there know that those things usually take care of themselves, anyway.
No, the crime in question was the theft of a novelty costume. But not just any costume–a 6 ft.-tall Guinness pint glass costume. The costume, lent by a large Detroit bottling company for Halloween, was stored in the borrower’s garage since October. When the bottler asked for it back, the $3000 costume was not to be found. The costume was flown from Ireland to used for promotional purposes. It is believed that there is only 1 other such costume in the US. Police said they would closely monitor local St. Patrick’s Day parties for the suit, believing it to be the most likely time for the costume to be worn publicly.

We had a guy in Hawaii with a huge house on the beach with a 10 ft. tall Bobs big boy in his front yard for years. Everytime I would drive by I was convinced he stole the damn thing. Becasue it was before we had Bobs big boy here. So I figured he shipped it over from the mainland and no one here really knew what it was.
Well… my sister bought the house last year and it turns out it was owned by a Bobs big boy executive who actually owned the statue.
So far we only have one “Sonic”( in a hotel lobby) 2 ” Wendys” and no ” In n out burgers”

Micky: I love sonic & wendy’s! Never eaten at Bobs. You won’t get an In n Out cuz they refuse to build them very far from the HQ.
Welcome to ЯR, Alabastard! I do remember that. There was a woman who got sued for putting one for sale on eBay, but she swore her manager gave it to her.

Key, we could get Milwaukee’s Beast in kegs, toss in a clump of clay, and paint it like a Guinness keg.
Can I be your financial adviser?

Vomit. But, while you’re out, Slut, um, I’ll take a baconater with no mayonnaise. In a bag separate from Bagel’s order. Micky, I’m all for it. When she gets drunk she chases her tail. She was the most popular preschooler on the block.

Amazing how cruel human children can be. Had it been attached to your body, I think they may have been a little more understanding about the whole situation. Daddy did some hard time for that incident.

Yea bagel , I’ve heard the St. Pauli story before, but your father asked

Sometimes, I’ll drive to Charlotte just to get a Jumbo Jack, taco and rings from Jack in the Box! Manna from Heaven, I say. Wendy’s is decent enough. The Baconator is fucking scary, though.
@ Bagel: You’ve eaten at a Shoney’s; it’s pretty much the same thing as a Bob’s Big Boy. In fact, Mr. Schoenbaum’s Shoney’s chain were once all Big Boys.
@ Micky: St. Pauli Girl is brewed in Germany, but not sold there under that name. A friend of mine from Hamburg saw a sixer of it in a store in WV and laughed his ass off. He said that St. Pauli was the red light district of Hamburg, and “St. Pauli Girl” was synonymous with “hooker” or, possibly “stripper”.
@ Key: Don’t fall for that “financial advisor” bit. Trust me.
@ Alabastard: Y’all come back now, y’hear!

How did your comment end up under mine when I was replying to your St. Pauli , baconater comment?

He had commented from my account. Had to delete it and do it under his…editing the name only would have left my avatar.
Didin’t realize you’d replied already, sorry.

Yeah, well I’m sure your neighbor clued in to the stolen McDonald’s sign your wife placed high above the bed. You know, “Billions and billions served.”
