Bwa ha ha! Found this receipt from four and a half years ago. It’s from my birthday dinner in 2004 where a couple of us were celebrating at Havana Restaurant on The Drive here in Vancouver.
Check out the bill and count the number of alcoholic drinks served. To wit… 2 Balvenie Scotch, 1 Pint Special, 1 Cream Ale Pint, and — wait for it — 32 bottles of Cuban Cristal Lager!
There was food, too, of course, but more than half the bill — $310 without tip! — was for alcohol. Crap!
Perhaps the reason I’d forgotten about this is because I’m still recovering from the hangover! “You have been served.” No shit!
Yeah, okay - maybe I’m being a wee bit hypocritical here considering what I said about them in an earlier post, but Gadling picked one of the photos from my Flickr account as their ‘Photo of the Day’ - again. Sweet!

This was too funny not to post!
I’m a big fan of Bizarro cartoons in much the same way I was a big fan of Kliban and Gary Larson’s Far Side. Gary’s “Latte, Jed?” still stands as one of the hands-down funniest single cartoon frames of all time!
These guys belong in a select fraternity. As funny, topical, outrageous, contemporary, smart and at times controversial as any of the best stand-up comedians. Their work was and is droll, witty, inspired and frequently fall down hysterical - always arriving from ‘left field’.
This particular Bizarro cartoon falls distinctly into the political, not to say ‘accurate’ category. It hits both a nerve and a funny bone. Nice work if you can get it!
