Ahh, how soon they forget:

 

Duke lacrosse accuser charged with murder in boyfriend's stabbing

April 18, 2011|By the CNN Wire Staff

Crystal Mangum, 32, was charged Monday with murder, five days after her boyfriend succumbed to stabbing injuries.

A North Carolina woman who stirred national headlines when she accused three Duke University student-athletes of rape is now herself accused of murder, a county law enforcement official said Monday.

Crystal Mangum, 32, was charged Monday with murder, five days after her boyfriend succumbed to stabbing-related injuries at a Durham, North Carolina, hospital, according to Candy Clark, a spokeswoman for the Durham County District Attorney's Office. She also is now facing two felony charges of larceny.

Prosecutors reassessed the charges against Mangum after the death of Reginald Daye at Duke University Hospital on Wednesday.

Mmmmmm.  Old Style.

 

I had a buddy who used to work at the Heilemans brewery.  I asked him what he did there, and he told me he was a "shaker".  After several minutes of letting this digest, I asked him what a "shaker" did.  Apparently, he was the guy who shook all of the used kegs to get the rats out so that they could refill them.

 

You might think this would have scared me off of Old Style, but no.  I just kept on buying it.   Couldn't hardly beat it for the price.


It had a heyday here in Muscatine at one time!

I must say that there have been times when I was sure that I had achieved the "fully krausened" state.

 

I still see Old Style (especially Old Style Light) consumed around here from time to time by the faithful.   No longer made in LaCrosse, but still being made by another beer company (Pabst, I think).

The old Old Style brewery in LaCrosse is up and running.  I believe they brew a beer called City Light (and others such as LaCrosse Lager?) that I thought tasted very similar to the original Old Style Light when I had one chance to quaff some.
