My antidote for lack of sleep is Chicago superstation WGN 720 AM. Unfortunately, Bill Leff, the all night host, has a way of making me laugh in my sleep. Last night, Bill Leff started discussing what crazy college kids were doing these days. College kids love to buy cheap beer, same as it ever was. Apparently, there's some place in Wisconsin, the Generic Store, where you buy, you guessed it Generic Beer. Leff speculated that the beer was made by aging pickle brine.
Then someone else on the overnight crew mentioned that WALGREEN'S have an in-house beer brand, known as Big Flats. This all made me laugh insanely at 5 AM. I'm very happy never to have consumed a beer with the word "Flat" in the brand name.
