Fic, beer, and deep thoughts

[prillalar]

Fic written for the contrelamontre "character development" challenge: In Lieu of Flowers
Sirius/Remus, Remus/Kingsley, PG, OotP spoilers.

Today at work, I began to think how wonderful it would be if there were beer trucks, like ice cream trucks. They would pull up in front of your house or place of work, with the jingle-jangle music playing Little Brown Jug or something equally appropriate, and you'd run out with your money and they would sell you beer, or some other refreshing alcoholic beverage.

I also had some thoughts about whether or not anything can have an intrinsic value or if it's all relative, but I won't get into that further as I've already freaked out my co-workers.

And now to dig into all the Stargate recs you wonderful people have given me.

That was lovely! So perfect for both of them. But now I'm sad.

Aw, thanks! I think post-Sirius Remus/Kingsley might be my new favourite HP pairing.

I think you have hit upon an untapped market: re the beer truck. I would happily run out of the house in my pjs and shuck over a couple bucks for a beer in a cup while yammering to my neighbors about 'that kid down the street'.

This would be a great short story, actually.

Once I get the whole liquor license thing worked out, I'll start up my franchise.

Mmmm, beer truck. *goes into Homer-esque slump-and-drool*

I miss beer. oh, precious booze, why have you gone from my life? Come to my house, beer truck! I wish I wasn't crap at poetry, or I would compose a sonnet to you, my yeasty friend.

=D

There once was a bev'rage called beer
That befuddled a poor engineer
On his date with a lass
He upended her glass
And failed to unhook her brassiere


Oh, wait, you said sonnet...

No, actually, limericks are much more appropriate for beer!

Would they sell chilled white wine on hot days, mulled red wine on cold days, and hot chocolate with a large sloosh of orange brandy on very very cold days?

Because if so, I'm all for it.

I'm not sure about the cold days -- I'd pictured this as a summer-only operation. Hmm.
