Lift a Glass and Drink a Toast, to the Man Who Cannot Change His Stripes, and Refuses to Hide Behind a Mask

Just when you think he can't get any more eccentric, can't buy anything stranger than a stuffed zebra...


and freaky metal masks...


Hick goes and buys himself some chocolate beer. And cherry, too, I think. This picture in the back of Hick's Trailblazer does not do it justice. Because it's a picture taken by Hick.


Oh, he's not going to drink it! He's going to SAVE it! Display it! Where nobody sees it but himself. I suppose there are worse vices. He could be DRINKING it, and falling off the wagon every night. Even though he's not ON the wagon. He also bought himself a big ol' bottle of...uh...some kind of whiskey. Jameson, maybe. I don't think it's unusual. Don't know why he bought it. That bottle has been sitting next to a half empty (or as Hick would see it, half FULL) bottle of...um...some other kind of whiskey (I'd be a terrible eyewitness if somebody broke in here and stole them) on the kitchen counter for a couple of months.

A little online research showed that a gift pack like this of the cherry lager sold for $20. I also saw the chocolate lager gift pack for $17.99. Hick paid $10 apiece for them. One link showed something about the cherry lager in 2007. Surely they're not THAT old! I don't think they would be any good, do you? Of course, I doubt that Hick will drink them.

They're collector's items, you know...

  1. Collector's items are all very well, but I'm wondering why he has the zebra.

    1. The zebra was for one of The Veteran's daughters, who is in 1st grade. They are moving into a new house, and Hick thought this would go well in her room. Of course, he has some explaining to do for only getting ONE gift. I guess he'll need to look for something suitable for the kindergarten sister.

  2. Perhaps he'll stick with the theme and find a giraffe for the kindergarten sister.

    1. He offered them a giant stuffed dog, taller than himself, but they (The Veteran and his wife) declined. "Too big!" they said.
