Happy Hour?

Ethan decided that "happy hour," while better than "$8 a beer hour," still kind of sucks, and I'm inclined to agree. At least when it's this beautiful outside. So, being at Georgetown, we decided to have a very "college" moment. It was also very Georgetown.

First, he got soda cups from Booeymongers, then we went to Wisemiller's and debated our options: $1.85 for a bottle, or $6.75 for the whole six pack? Not sure why they sell it by the bottle, considering you can't eat there and it's not technically legal to drink a beer outside. But the point is, we were economical and went for the six pack.

The next challenge was getting it into our "discreet" cups. We had to go down the Exorcist stairs anyway, so we made use of the relatively secluded area for our pouring. My bartender buddies over at Fado would have been quite disappointed with our performance though. It was all head and we couldn't get enough of it into the cups fast enough, so we ended up just chugging what was left in the bottles.....and of course right then some people started coming down the stairs. They were students though, so I'm sure they've seen worse than people chugging beers on the world's most precarious stairs in broad daylight.

We disposed of the evidence in a nearby dumpster and headed on to the canal, sipping our straws. Walking along the edge of it, we saw this turtle and were totally amazed that we were within a few feet of actual wildlife...especially because that canal did not look like ideal habitat. But then we started seeing tons of stuff. There were at least four adult turtles and one teeny baby (cutest thing ever), there were schools of sunfish, and then there were a bunch of gigantic fish that may have been carp. People had thrown lots of breadcrumbs in the water and the animals were feasting. At one point, Ethan was like, look at that turtle!! He must be lovin this! He's got a bread feast! to which I asked if turtles even eat bread, and his response was, "...unless he's on South Beach."

We also ran into these people carrying their fly fishing rods who apparently fish in the canal all the time because "it's so easy." It does seem kind of like cheating, but... the guy had a totally awesome mustache.

We also discussed how much trouble we would be in if we peed in the canal and other inappropriate peeing stories.

The End
