Had a fun and amusing time this past weekend. One of my roommates, Spencer, came down from Columbus to partake in an evening of food and drink in the infamous Southside in Pittsburgh. Flohr was supposed to come as well but only having $16 to last you for the next few days put a damper on his ability to join us. We met up with Ron around 8 though and attempted to get into Fatheads fro some of their great burgers but ended up being thwarted by an hour and a half wait so we just went to Primanti Bros. As usual this was a wonderful meal and we got to introduce Spence to Pittsburgh style sandwiches. If you didn’t know that means we put the meat, cheese, French fries, cole slaw and tomatoes all on two slices of bread and dare you to try and eat it. Which is how sandwiches should be eaten at all times. After Primanti we wondered down to Piper’s Pub and had a drink before embarking to the final destination of the night, McArdles Pub. At the pub we met up with Don from Foraxis and had a good time playing pool and being generally good natured. We met a few guys from Nakama as well later in the evening who schooled us in the game of pool. I think this was because we had all been drinking for about 4 hours by that point (or the fact that I’m just horrible at pool). Oh and to make a good night better I managed to get my hands on of one of the McArdles Pub “Skullies� which I wore crooked and off kilter randomly for the rest of the night.
A long time ago, way back in history
When all there was to drink was nothin’ but cups ‘o tea
Along came a man by the name of Charile Mops
And he discovered a wonderful drink and he made it out ‘o hops.
He musta ben an admiral, a sultan, or a king.
And to his praises we shall always sing!
Look what he has done for us, he’s filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented

The Aiken Drum, the Trowles Pub, the Drunken Rat as well,
One thing you can be sure of, it’s Charlie’s drink they sell.
So all ye lads and lasses at elevell o’clock ye stop.
For 5 short seconds remember Charlie Mops.
1..2..3..4..5
Hey! He musta ben an admiral, a sultan, or a king.
And to his praises we shall always sing!
Look what he has done for us, he’s filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented

A bushel of barley, a barrel of hops, and ye stir it around with a stick.
It’s the kind of lubrication to make yer engines tick.
10 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
And it’s only 5 pence haypenny and a buck and 8 in tax.
He musta ben an admiral, a sultan, or a king.
And to his praises we shall always sing!
Look what he has done for us, he’s filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented
