Hilarious...I just finished checking out this post and thought what could I possibly add to such an awesome offering...and then my guy sent this vid...bless his heart - he always tries to get me out of my nano hangover...this did the trick...your post and this vid and I live to fight another day...
Couldn't help but share it with you and your scribes...
First think I thought when I saw the title of your Substack today was "Yeauuhhhh Bitch"! (Second thing that crossed my mind was that my 1st thought may now be considered politically incorrect ...but whatever... I'll say it again "Yeauhhh Bitch"!) Bring back that Dive Bar Thang. There's nothing more honest than the smell of B.O., stale cigarettes and fresh failure that lovingly hit you in the face at any dive bar of your choosing. Oh- and NO hipsters allowed. Leave your pretension at the door, M*ther F&Ker...And by the way, Mr. Huggins- American IS great- it's just our government that sucks. Don't let them M*ther F&kers make you doubt that for even ONE second. People ROCK, it's the powerful that are poopy. :)
kirkland washington huh!? I was seeing a doctor ( office across the street from EVERGREEN) almost weekly thru the scamdemic until he and his assistant both got VAXXED . he was supposed to be an alternative doc, cash no insurance but SUCCUMBED TO THE LIES. and this guy the creator/publisher of THE TOWNSEND LETTER, a well known alternative, supposedly holistic, magazine. I was appalled. I was curious during the "lockdown" so I went over to Evergreens ER...more than once..it was empty and a couple of nurses told me a lot of staff was being FURLOUGHED! That was it for me...
Ach du liebe Gott.......I have not thought of Humble Pie in decades. Honestly, you must be my brother from another mother. I gotta tell you we have one of the absolute best dive bars here in our county that has just one stop light. "The Barn" has a pool table, an excellent juke box, crap wine but good beer and decent whiskey (Yuengling is our staple and is made here). It's the oldest brewery in the country. I spent numerous years in Germany where the beer is ausgezeignet and Yuengling can compete with many. Anyway, great post as always. Saw Peter Frampton at RFK stadium in DC at 17 on a very hot summer day. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thanks Patti. Let’s keep our plan to meet in a dive bar in Tombstone / Bisbee and invite other VRR readers subscribers and we’ll talk German—maybe. Jukebox required.
Back about 1960 I had an Uncle who owned a little bar in Hillview Illinois, more of a redneck bar, by the river. I remember he had calendars on the wall of voluptuous women with no tops on. The bar smelled of stale beer and cigs. It had an old fashioned jukebox.
I was there only a few times with my Dad, during the day.
Loretta's Northwesterner in South Park used to be a favorite dive bar until they started enforcing the Jay Inslee vax mandate mid 2021. Had to relocate to Slims Last Chance. Excellent chili!

The VRR Dive Bar- that’s got a great ring to it

Where do we buy the MDBGA shirts?
Nice. Photos too. Is the bathroom door ripped off the hinges?
A possible book with great dive bar stories. A chapter filled with dive bar jokes.
And hilarious bathroom graffiti - carved into the walls & doors of the john-dive - natch.
Some of the most creative writers started there.
