We all love new shiny shiny toys like cat’s when something moves.
But its normally just the plain old box that said shiny toy came in that the cat will love the most

Celebrate the drawing down of spending on minis with a beer… and then celebrate the wonder of beer with another. Should you feel moved to congratulate your good taste in beer with the indulgence of another I will not stand in your way. In fact, I will toast you with my own when you move to another. As Hunter S. Thompson once was quoted “Good people drink good beer”, therefore I celebrate the beer you choose and the wise decision you’ve made in imbibing as much as you can withstand to drink in life. Later, well… we all must pee sometime. Endorphin rushes might just begin from sheer relief of your bladder.
