so wait, the ABC rules override the state law that says women can be topless in public?
really?
how does that work?

Alcohol and nudity don't mix?

hi, welcome to new york city, where lots of people don't follow or agree with the christianity based moralist practices handed down from the puritans.
now that we've been introduced, my question was how do the ABC rules have the power to pre-empt state law. But hey, thanks for your continued support of religion and government non seperation.

I would think that as a native-born Brooklynite you would recognize sarcasm. It's something we Brooklynites are known for.

sorry about that, work for a japanese company, been a rough week, probably a little heavy on the self righteous foot stamping. also, sorry, not a native brooklynite, but out of the 12 or so places i have resided, it is the one i've been in the longest.

Sometimes my humor is too subtle.

Disgusting.

Hahaha women's bodies are commodities, haha ha, & public property, hahaha ha!

..I'm such a killjoy.

A bunch of pervs who can't get their own women + a bunch of women who want to feel validated by these perv's. Either you've been their done that or its time you get it outta your system.

I guess the 9th Ward figures there arn't enough whores in NYC for Mardi Gras so their using their own clientele.

Those beads wont hold your hair back the next morning.

Enjoying a display of boobs does not a pervert make.

Speaking like Yoda does not make anyone sound intelligent. Ever.

(1) Speaking like Yoda was not my intention, nor does it sound like him at all.
(2) Responding to someone's comment you believed sounded like Yoda doesn't
make you sound intelligent either. (3) It would have been nice if you had
actually responded to the content of my comment or the article itself.

________________________________

If you weren't trying to sound like Yoda, then what exactly were you going for with the whole backwards speaking thing? You picked that up from where, "the internets"? Because other people do it doesn't make it cool. It's over everyone, let's just leave the Yoda speak in the 00's.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not backwards speak and I wasn't going for anything specific. Also, Yoda speak will live forever, whether you like it or not. Just because you don't like it or understand it or whatever, doesn't mean it isn't valid. If all you want to do is nitpick because you have nothing else you're able to accomplish, then so be it. But if you think you have a real argument in this, you are sadly mistaken and need to bone up on your history of the English language. Hit the books!

Yeah, I guess that's it. I "don't understand" Yoda speak. I'm the idiot in this argument. Or should I say "An idiot I am because moronic fucking yoda speak typed by a nerd in his mother's basement who's gay for star wars understand I do not." So, I guess I'll go "hit the books" now or something to bone up on the English language. Boy, do I feel stupid.

You are a sad, pathetic individual whose assault on people who enjoy Star Wars is even lamer than your claim about Yoda speak; there are more affluent nerds, at least in my age group, who own their own houses than there are nerds who live in their mother's basement. This argument would have never started if you had kept your incorrect mouth shut. Or more accurately, your incorrect fingers off of the keyboard.

Also, I never called you an idiot. That's something you brought on yourself.

Just for the record, you, a grown man (presumably), were the one that decided to speak like Yoda. On the internet. In regards to a blog posting about boobs and beer. So, you brought this upon yourself, Sir Nerds-A-Lot.

As I said before, I did not speak like Yoda. That turn of phrase was around long before George Lucas decided to start writing dialog for his movies, something he is known for doing horribly. That's why I encouraged you to educate yourself, instead of attacking me for something you know nothing about.

Thanks for the nickname. I never really had one growing up.

Any time, Nerdy McNerdpants.

Just to clarify, that mode of speech has been employed LONG before Yoda.

"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage"
- Richard Lovelace, English poet (1618-1657)

It's a poetic turn of phrase which serves to illustrate that a single instance of something does not indicate a trend, which is exactly what Cowboy was doing. YOU are the one that brought Yoda into this, and wrongly so at that.
