[QUOTE=VoodooGirl;3748752]Congratulations!
Is there a badge?
We park in driveways and drive on parkways. Explain that.
EXPLAIN IT! NOW!!!

Who remembers Skyway City Beer? Man, I just about cried when they shut down the old Skyway City Beer brewery after Lord Recluse's failed attempt at stealing the recipe. Stupid Recluse - "If I can't have it, NO ONE CAN!" I'm sure they could have worked out some sort of arrangement so he could have it exported to the Rogue Isles, but no. He had to go and destroy the vault containing the only copy of the original Skyway City Beer recipe.
Anyway, best beer ever.
Remember that ad with Azuria, before she hooked up with M.A.G.I., back when Star Strider was the spokesman?
***
Star Strider: Some drink only the finest wines...
Aldo: On ice? That's nice!
Bela: I never drink... wine.
Star Strider: Some prefer their refreshment well-aged...
Dean: Everybody >hic< loves some liquor, sometimes...
Scotty: It's... green.
Star Strider: But when it comes to beer...
Azuria (climbs on back of motorcycle, looks at camera, smiles): It's Skyway - or the highway. (Motorcycle drives off - driver is wearing red and blue and we get the impression it might just be Statesman.)
Star Strider: Skyway City Beer. Take it from someone in a position to know: best in the city - best in the solar system - best in the galaxy.

I think the zone should have had a few never-completed off-ramps and such to emphasize the idea of grandiose dreams, never fully realized. |
Sadly, the all go somewhere now.
Mostly to the stadiums.<gilligan> Not only that, there's a Lake City right in Seaattle! </gilligan>

After. Apparently they seem to think they can get away with the name because it starts out as a quarter pound when raw. Unfortunately, this only makes it technically a Used to Weigh a Quarter Pounder.

Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.
Anyone want to hazard a guess where Centre, Alabama is?
