| Pigdump remembers So here we are. It's the middle of November, the 15th, in fact, the time of year when the Beaujolais Nouveau is at the ready at your local liquor store. But this isn't really about fruity wine. It's a back in my day thingy or a remember when... deal. You see, a while ago, when I reached the age of majority and could finally go into a liquor store and buy some Lonesome Charlie or Lemon Gin or something, it wasn't easy. You couldn't browse through the aisles looking for the best bargain, the coolest looking bottle or the beer with the most alcohol content. Nope. You had to go up to the counter and fill out your order on a little pad, hand it to the guy at the cash and he'd sneak out through the mysterious doors in the back and come back with your bottle in a plain brown bag.
Really. it felt so, well, so illegal. Or like a Consumer's Distributing for the sleazy. (That's another look back altogether.) I can't remember when this practice changed. Probably around the time when Sunday shopping became a going concern.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Oh, except for happy age of majority birthday, Jason (send him your best wishes in an e-mail). Oh, and another thing, if anyone has a copy of one of those LCBO order forms, I would love to have a scan of it or something.
Thanks and good luck.

Now we aren't sure if this is one of those back in my day thingies, or if it's a remember when... deals or if it's just a plain old interesting fact that really could have been part of the Pigdump brand in the Everything I Know category and we decided to build on it, to create some Top Quality Content™ as it were.
