Subject:Skinny's Inn in Alaska
From:John Rodgers
Date:Thu, 9 Dec 2010 13:20:55 -0600

Volks,

My apology to all the list for having made a faux pas here with this
post. It was 3 in the am, and I was no doubt NOT the brightest candle
burning at that time of day. I should have at least waited until Friday.
As for the subject - I thought nothing of it. I guess I am still a crass
old Alaskan at heart and such titles and expressions are a part of
everyday life up there. Ex: down here if it dies, breaks, quits - it's
gone "belly up". In Alaska it's gone "t#t's up". Skinny's was -
apparently still is -  one of the more notable watering holes up in the
interior, and a fun place for tourists from the Lower 48 to stop, turn
red, gawk and guffaw after having their modesty shocked. And they have
something to forever talk about when they get back home.

To our friendly moderators - I will say no more on this - and thanks for
not handing me my hat.

John
