BU's new rink

[BigRedIslander '03]

This is true...the ID'ing on lines took FOREVER and made them very long. Not that I would know b/c I'm out of state and under 25 so obviously I can't be trusted to drink at sporting or concert events in Mass

If you're here often enough, you could get one of those liquor IDs.  (I take it you don't have a passport.)  But it is dumb that 21 doesn't mean 21.

I've heard that BU can serve beer due to a "grandfather clause."  Are there really other schools that do so?  

I know I was very surprised when they had beer at the Cornell/Yale game that was played at the New Haven Coliseum several years ago.

Speaking of asinine Massachusetts law regarding serving alcohol, I got negged at a bar in Cambridge last night because my driver's license is expired.*  As if I magically stopped being 27 when that happened.  Jeez, I was 25 when the damn thing was issued.  But never mind, who needs common sense?  ::rolleyes::


* Yes, I know, that part is my fault but when you're in the city and you don't own a car and you drive rarely and your license expires during the middle of exams, you tend to forget these things.

And airlines won't accept an expired passport as proof of identification. (When you get a new one they send the old one back with a hole cut in it. But it's still you.

And NJ will not issue you an ID card in addition to your driver's license; the idea being that you should leave your license in your wallet at all times and use the ID for things like airlines and bars ... because if you get to Denver on a business trip and try to renat a car at Hertz, you are hosed if that license is back at the gate in Boston.

I would assume that an expired license is unacceptable identification in most states, not just Taxachussetts.  I know the same thing has happened to me in Ithaca.  Not an unreasonable rule considering how many people (at least used to) give away their old licenses to younger siblings (thus the addition of under 21 logos on licenses).  A pain in the ass isometimes, but not assinine.

The place had good quesadillas and decent margaritas, though. :-D

And Lone Star beer.  But the Red Line was a better place to drink, with (among others) Leffe on draft and Magners in imperial pint bottles.  Even if they wouldn't make a car bomb and had to be told how to do lemon drops.

I remember going to a CU-SU lax game at the Carrier Dome in 1983 or 84 and being pleasantly surprised that beer was sold there.  

Shoot, I might increase my giving if I could buy beer at Lynah or Schoellkopf.  How about a gift threshold that allows you to imbibe at sporting events?  It's the least the university can do.:-P

Doesn't the varsity darts team play at the Chapter House? :-P

You think this is bad, it looks like a pornbot has found another thread.

I'm trying to figure out what about this thread attracted bots of a certain card-game.
