no, just amazed that the "everybody receives a ribbon, don't keep score" generation has turned into the "look at me, I am so important I must post I ate peanut butter toast for lunch on Facebook and feel self worth by yelling you suck at Division 1 athletes who put their accomplishments to shame"

You forgot to mention teenagers and their "rock and/or roll music" and "get off my lawn!"

Guess we were cheap in '83 our row only had a couple of cases of beer we purchased at a bar across the street, can't recall the name.

Red White and Blue or did you guys go large for a special occasion and splurge on PBR?

Jacob's Best, I'm guessing

Used to drink Blatz at the Camel Club. 10 pennies for 12 ozs.

Somehow, through the thick fog of unfiltered Lucky's drawing down to an ignoble death in that tawdry world, I knew that there had to be more to this life. Was this it: lukewarm cat urine served up in unwashed glasses while a smear of rouge and heavy mascara wrapped leopard print covered rolls of flesh around naugahyde and chrome, offering lewd companionship for the price of a bowl of chili, reflecting what would offer greater comfort - the chili or an artificial amorous encounter - with chili always winning out...Blatz...

The unfortunate yet ghastly war wound
Unlikely code hero of manliness
Gertrude Stein, female sexuality
A fierce longing never consummated

Red, White, & Blue - the beer of the Lanche.  $0.50 taps.

I can only assume the Louisville AD is sending similar e-mails to his students.   I am also confident that Barry Alvarez is having a personal talk with that red-headed kid for yelling F*** during a close up on national TV when he realized he had run the baseline when he wasn't allowed.

Wow. That much? They were $0.15 when Arch poured 'em in the late '70's. For a third less you could get 12 ozs of Blatz Liquid Goodness at the Camel Club. The gunfire was on the house.

I'm sure B.A. did, after all, that's what he got his bonus for.

That was 1990.  Actually I remember a price increase in 1991 to like $0.55 and it messed up the straight 2 for $1.00.  All of a sudden you needed change for 2 beers.

More change for tips! Smart move by the Lanche!

What tips?  We NEVER tipped at Marquette bars.

You are likely correct. It was a terribly long time ago. And they say the knees are the first thing to go...

Haha, tips at The Lanche?

Anyone remember Mary who held court at the Lanche? Old woman, nursing her RWB's for hours. We often told Arch to use the change for Mary's next round.

Arch had that Shillelagh that was topped with a Big Ass Brass Eagle that he used as a cane and weapon. If someone gave Archie lip he would start swinging that shillelagh with bad intent. You couldn't make this up.

I can assure you...no one tipped at the Lanche during my tenure there...77-79

.25 Old Style taps, then went to .35. Miller High Life long necks and Bud .50. Bottles of RWB and Blatz were .30. Schlitz .40

Had a friend that always ordered the Blatz. We accused him of being cheap. His defense? No one orders them, so they are always cold!

Don't remember Mary but I remember Cook and Leroy the painter.

Dog Style was two bits for 12 ozs. Didn't the Lanche have RWB taps for $0.15 or am I confusing that with Lenny's? I know the Camel Club at 15th & State had Blatz on tap for one thin dime. If you think about it that was a gallon of beer for a buck.

Ain'a Hey Sports Palace. It was $0.75 to sit in the bleachers. We sat there because that was where the "Real Fans" were, not because it was cheap
