Raining Pigs

First and most importantly let’s all take a quick second to visualize our own versions of an epic powder day at MRG: Oooommmmmmmmmm.
The skiing has been super fun, despite the recent short comings of Ol Man Winter. The impending choose-your-own-weather-adventure could go so many different ways, it seem useless to speculate. Hopefully we’ll get just snow! The stuff that’s coming down right now should fix right to our base and make for some cream cheesy turns if it stays frozen. Unfrozen stuff isn’t supposed to come until later so there’s a chance it does no more harm than a bucket of water on a pig. But fluffer or nutter, we should come out the other other end with a thicker base. That’s gotta count for something right?
And it could rain pigs and the General Stark’s Pub will still be open! Currently we have some kick-booty local brews on tap such as Lawson’s and Fiddlehead. ManBando will be in the pub this Saturday and next Tuesday, Jan 31st is Roll Back the Clock Day with can’t-beat-em ticket prices of $3.50!! There will be all sorts of demos happening, plus the Starline Rhythm Boys will be rockin’ the GSP for apres so be sure to check it out.
Below, our trusty barkeep has some words for you Mugg Clubbers and MC wannabees…
Choice: Do you have a Mugg Club Mug?
- Yes – Read Below, then do a snow dance and/or make appropriate sacrifice to Ullr
- No, but I’m on the waiting list - Read Below, then do a snow dance and/or make appropriate sacrifice to Ullr
- No - Very well then, carry on. Perhaps do a snow dance and/or make appropriate sacrifice to Ullr just for good measure.
So while we absolutely hate being the bad guy and selling off people’s mugs in their absence, the monster that we have created demands that something be done to move the names along through the waitlist queue. The process that we have said we would follow is to insist that the mugs be bought and paid for by Feb vacation (it used to be MLK weekend) or be at risk of being sold to the next waiter on the list. We have not held the line on that policy too well but this year will be the first that we are forced to do exactly that. So spread the word to anyone you know that is a mugg holder ….. straighten out your mug business in Feb or risk losing your hook.
