Coincidently, the receptionist at my dentist office called to cancel my appointment today. Cancelled, not postponed.
Your dentist is a dead weekend biker?

I see that this occurred at some diner.
I wouldn't quite call Twin Peaks a diner. Think Hooters done right. ...well, except for the motorcycle gangs.
Or you were misinformed.... intentionally.
We just have less to be proud of.
I can't imagine Waco being a dry town. Pretty sure I drank beer there. And Twin Peaks can't turn a profit on burgers alone.
Maybe it was a long time ago. Or you were misinformed.... intentionally.
Hey, I was in PA just last week. I went to a Tilted Kilt to watch the Rangers game with some co-workers. The girls there would not have been hired by Twin Peaks.
It was definitely Waco. We were driving down 35 from Dallas, headed to Austin, when we decided we needed to drink before we went any further. We looked really hard before asking the local. We were pissed.Chili said:I don't know if or why anyone would tell you it's a dry city. Maybe you weren't actually in Waco. Could it have been a small town close to it? Maybe?
That's right. Whether Waco actually is or isn't is apparently in dispute, but we didn't have any luck 7 or 8 years ago.Armistice said:WTF is a "dry town"?... I mean, I can guess, but does it actually mean you can't buy alcohol?

Get out of here! I'm headed back there tomorrow for a couple weeks. Having lived in PA more than half my life and spent two weeks in Texas, it does not surprise me that the girls you saw in PA were not fit for employment in Texas in that sort of establishment. This reminds me of a Saturday years ago when I watched some of a Texas game and a Florida game during the day, and the 8pm game was a Penn State game. They often show some pretty girls in the crowd when they come back from commercial. For the UT and UF games, the girls were smokin' hot, as you'd expect. During the PSU game, the girls were all chubby and freaking homely compared to the girls they showed in the earlier games, but I knew they were probably the best the cameraman could find.
Yeah, there are places like that that exist. Oh, don't get me started....

Lots of dry towns in the hill country.
Why do they exist - is it to help stop everyone shooting each other, religious fundamentalism, or what?
I really don't know. I can only suspect it's because they are sleepy country towns surrounded by colleges and they don't want to attract riff-raff. I used to know where they were and we avoided those places, so point made.

A lot of people struggle with the concept of wet/dry. Mainly in the south and it is from based around a prominent Baptist population (usually).
I don't think wet/dry is any worse than states and some countries (cough, Canada) having state or government owned liquor stores.
That's kind of what it's like. The people that inhabit or visit these towns aren't big drinking types anyway. These are places for stuff like bird watching and hiking. These towns offer no amenities that go with drinking. There are plenty of other places out there to do stuff while drinking...like floating down a river in a tube. Some of the natural spring reservoir rivers out there are cold as shit year round. You can just drag your six pack in the water and it stays cold.First I ever heard of such a thing was in Family Guy when Peter's trying to get drunk in a dry county on a Sunday.
