The ‘supposed‘ charity event – the 11th annual Santacon in NYC today. (It may be the 15th one, but who cares, I don’t.)
The amateur drinkers (in various states of holiday undress) are once again back in Manhattan this year: they will be in Midtown and Lower Manhattan, stating at 10 AM. I can take comfort that some of them may die, choking on their own (or someone else’s) vomit later in the day. (Ask me how I feel about Santacon.)
I implore all who live along the route to begin collecting buckets of waste (both pet or otherwise) to rain down upon the drunken revelers. I am always, absolutely, in cranky old man mood when this event comes around – be warned!
Today is also National Lager Day. Let us celebrate the third most popular beverage after water and tea. I’m hoping it co-incidental, but suspicious of the fact that it is celebrated around the same time as Santacon
For those of you who need to know – Lager is one of the two main types of beer, the other being ale. The difference between lager and ale is that lager is fermented and conditioned at low temperatures while ale is brewed using a warm fermentation. Pale lager is the most widely consumed style of beer in the world. So drink responsibly, especially those of you participating in Santacon.
