I do, but primarily because it's a function of my culture. Similar to speaking Czech at family meetings and the old men mixing Big Red and beer together.

Did make the night in old Fredericksburg Friday.

Real nice, not crowded. Had a great time. Reasonable cost for admission, beer and food.

Used to hog-hunt/fish/party with some Czechs (guess I still do) and nothing brought more joy to my ears than hearing "No beer today, no beer today, you can't buy beer on Sunday, no beer today, no beer today, you'll have to wait til Monday... In Heaven they've got no beer, that's why we drink it here" then something else about "In Shiner they've got good beer" etc...

Always loved listening to it when cleanin' dead animals... :confused:
