I quote that. Dehidrated alcohol sounds a bit strange to me now.

You can get no booze at the stadiums?!? It must suck, plain and clear
even to me who don't attend to stadium games.

I assume they don't dehydrate it to a powder. It's
probably like a syrup, with the liquid being mostly
alcohol. In which case, it won't have any advantage
over a liquer with regard to getting it into the
stadium.

More likely, the concession stands have a monopoly
on the booze business.

You can buy booze in stadiums and they serve it in foam cups. They won't
let people bring it in mainly for two reasons. They sell it for really
high prices and they don't want people bringing containers in because
some people throw them.

This frightens me on a level that was heretofore unknown.

This is just another German trick. They're only shipping them to France
and Poland.

Ah, the joy of my yearly trip to Augusta for the Master's golf
tournament. Cups of beer for about $2.00 to $2.50 or so (depending on if
you get the collectors cup) and no one (NO ONE!) throws anything!
Veddy ,veddy civilized we are!
I do have some funny stories about folks who get a bit pickled and do
something *seriously* stupid like hijack a golf cart (with horrible
consequences such as permanent loss of badge privileges! And the guilty
parties weren't even the badge holders but had borrowed them for the
day. GASP!) But those events are few and far between.

I did three tours in Vietnam. We ate C-Rations 3 meals a day, 7 days a
week, except for the meal they flew up to us from Danang on Sundays and
holidays. Personally, I liked the Ham & Lima Beans. Everyone else
hated that particular meal, so I could always get two Ham & Lima Beans
for one of anything else. The cases of meals were not marked, so you
took what you got and found out what it was when you opened the box.

I see Ham & Lima Beans in the store. Nalleys makes it. It's too salty
for me in my advanced years (doctors, you know), but for some reason I
think to myself when I pass it, "flashback in a can!"

One more little story this reminds me of. We had a landing zone we
kept cleared just for the helicopter with our weekly hot meal. One day
we heard the helicopter coming on an odd day. So we all ran up to the
LZ just like we always did expecting a hot meal. The helicopter landed
and out the side door the gunner dumped a small crate. Off goes the
chopper and now the Lieutenant is busy with a hammer and crowbar
opening up the crate.

Can you guess what the crate contained?

My guess would be:

SHAVING CREAM!
Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen

Nope. Nice try. Good, independent thinking there. Bob. Think about
this, tho. Had it been cans of shaving cream, they would have been
emptied right then and there in a big shaving cream fight.

Remember the C-Ration Cookbook? Bet that's a collector's item.

Everyone traded for what they wanted and got together a few here and
there to juice up their stuff.

l, not -l's guess:

Nope. Never saw anything remotely like that in I-Corps. Maybe the
Army had 'em when they came in later on.

Okay, what was in the crate?

Yo-yo's. Someone reported that our morale was low, so yo-yo's was
someone's remedy. Geeze, we had yo-yo this and yo-yo that for maybe a
month before the magic wore off. You know, you put a yo-yo in an
American kid's hand and he's an instant expert. It was fun.

Thanks for guessing.
