My old man retired in 2000, one day while cleaning out the garage with his trusty dog "Teddy Toons" by his side he placed an empty bottle of beer he’d just finished on the wall, a few days later he found himself back in the garage (while hiding from my mother) and as he finished another cold one again he placed it on the wall. Over the next ten years him and his band merry men would go on and contribute beers (over 2,000 bottles) to be drank and then placed on the wall of the garage which became known as the The Beer Bottle Hall of Fame or the "BBHOF"
However one day in late May of Twenty-Ten unbeknownst to anyone in the republic he would abruptly end the BBHOF and ceremoniously burry the bottles (very legally I might add) in the backyard under a ton of wood chips. Just like any mad scientist (or in this case mad New England Liberal) there was no rhyme or reason for this but it sure was a fun and not so sober ride while it lasted…
