By popular demand, this one is going to be up in the Cypress area, at Sports N More, located at 9740 Barker Cypress. It’s less than a mile north of West Road. Here’s a map. Sports N More is a cool place with a big granite bar, lots of tables and a bajillion TVs, including one significantly larger than my house. It’s also owned by an LST reader, who assures me that his establishment has the coldest beer in town.
Here’s the kicker. I’ll also award the title of Honorary LST Brewmaster to Buddy, who was the highest bidder. Buddy will receive:
- Dinner
- Booze
- An engraved memento, suitable for display in place of his wedding photo album
- A 22-oz. beer stein emblazoned with the famous LST "ranger badge" logo. Perfect for your morning "coffee."
And the best prize of all: POWER. That’s right, Buddy will officially announce the date and location of the May Barblogging Tour Stop.

Bramanti - bring the “LST” table decoration this time: lol.
Having recently conducted “research” on this place, I can attest that the beer is exceptionally cold! None on tap though, but lots of varieties. Matt, the part-owner I talked to said to just call ahead and he will reserve the right side of the bar for us (between the pool tables and shuffleboard table)! So when you come in the front door, just turn to the right. It’s a big open place!
finally - one in my hemisphere!!!
Bring the “RINO”.
Dare I attend?
Sorry to say Mrs.HF and I will be driving race cars at TMS in Fort Worth that day. Which means to far away and no drinkin’. You ?*&%^$ bloggers have fun and keep smacktle away from those dead animals. Remember to tell the waitstaff that Matt”Ziila” buys a round every time they hear the Cowbell.
If I happen to be top bidder, do I get a raincheck on the dinner and booze?
Sure, HS. You can always “juke” to the tennis court if necessary…
#7 jimb
LOL I just want to be able to get out of there without any serious injuries!
Yee Haw! Finally near my N.W. neck of the woods.
#8 I would say with the crowd that usually shows up at these things, the worst that could happen is that you will get hit with a cowbell or something….
#10 jimb - He’s the one that scares me the most!
Smactkle? Just buy him a beer - you’ll be good after that…
/shamelessly reminding Smacktle that I just angled for him to get free beer
I’m only coming if gregg is coming. I drink
margaritas on the rocks with salt, in case
anybody was wondering what to buy me.
Right down the street from me! Yahoo!
I can be at this too! Yah! So you guys and girls that went to the Wolfies one can try and get me to stay past 9pm since I missed all the shots last time!!!
Bring your chess set, Wino.
chess set?
OK, maybe this won’t be as fun as thought…
It’s a running joke, Sparkle. Wino wanted to play “shot chess,” wherein each player downs a shot of tequila after every move. Fortunately, I suck at chess, so it probably won’t be fatal.
Well, I think you will be needing this then:

Buddy was the “highest dinner”? Huh?
Matt, hope you made reservations. If you didn’t I have the phone number. Looks like we will be having quite a crowd, with a lot of folks who haven’t been before.
Yee Haw, again! I’m getting all teary-eyed and have such mixed emotions. I can hardly wait. My only very slight problem might be the announcement of the May Barblogging Tour location. My semi-regular place is kinda small and would likely not be able to accomodate the numbers of the LST crowd. And I really wouldn’t care to give a unknown place a shot in the pocketbook. Other than that, I’ll drink anywhere, and I’m open to suggestions for the May stop.
20: LOL.
Highest “bidder,” sorry. It’s been fixed.
Is that SOB gregg going to be there or is he just
all talk?
Buddy
Check out “Barton Springs” which just opened off of Hwy 290 and Hwy 6 (behind Chili’s, I think). Went there recently and they have great beer on tap (extensive variety). The food is good and they have a great patio which will hold lots of folks. They have live music on weekends.
Buddy
PS You have a few weeks to do your “research” at Barton Springs! Let me know if you need any help and I can probably round a few of us to go with you to perform this “research!”
Neocon,
No problem. That sounds like a good idea to me. I know of several in the N W territories, but some I just don’t like.
Well at least if I drink too much I can walk home
If I show up it will make you feel like when you saw this as a kid.
Oh man, now that’s got me thinking.
Who is Gregg, really? Is he a real guy, or just a computer programmed to fool us and tell dirty jokes? Maybe he’s a 12-year-old kid, or a woman or an illegal immigrant.
This is how I picture Matt.
Actually this place is right near my trailer. Might have to drop by in my disguise.
that’s an interesting apparatus in your mouth, gregg.
Bsue,
You and the Mr. goin’ to be there? Gregg being there is probably goin’ to bring a lot of us out of the woodwork!
Ree-C
How about you and the Mr.? Would love to see you.
Also Jeremy and the Misses.
Rightsparkle
Would love to see you again!
j kathie
You coming to the BrewHaHa™?
Okay, whatever - I’m retiring for the night!
Was talking to the wifey tonight about the brewhaha. She isnt very happy with ol T-bone about going out leaving her with the kiddos.I’ll see what I can do.
Gregg
#37
Get a baby sitter and bring the wife with you! It’s only for a couple of hours!
gregg, what a bunch of crap. You talk the big talk,
then blame it on Mrs. gregg if you don’t show up.
What a pu$$y!
#39 Smackie - I agree! Gregg is whipped. I would have never thunk it. He probably wears a thong when she tells him to. Grow some nads man and put her in her place. Geez.
By the way, I’m going assuming I get paroled from “house arrest”!
Hey,nads, my wife can beat up your wife. If she gets too mad at me we I’ll have to move the camper to another Wal-Mart.
I’ve heard Wallyworld has really killer dumpster-diver pickins. Is that true, Gregg?
BTW, where’s JimB today? Is he going tonight?
Just got home from the tour stop. Had a great time with everyone. What a wonderful group of people, despite our differences on certain issues.
A bunch of class acts. I wish sarge could have stayed as I know a lot of folks wanted to meet him.
Looking forward to next month!
To: Shakey
Glad you was there.
To: Everyone else
It was indeed my pleasure and honor to have seen old friends and met new ones.
It was cool tonite. Look forward to the next time. Post forthcoming with new pictures.
Smack, Neo and I will take you on in shuffleboard anytime…
Had a great time last night, glad so many of you were there for my last, last Brew-HaHa.
Whoa what a kick-a$$ party man, the band was aaaawwwwwssome!
That’s it! I’m never going to another BHH, and this is my last post for a long time (at least a few hours!).
We had a great time. I just wish we would have gotten to meet Sarge. I understand we just missed him by ~5 minutes.
To those of you I did get to meet last night, it was a pleasure. I have to agree with HS’s #43: a bunch of class acts. The guy whose appearance most surprised me was Daniel James. He looks like a stocky version of J.D. (Zach Braff) from the show “Scrubs”:
http://paper.cloudyday.org/046/scrubs-800×600.gif
It was good to see old friends, as well. Who knew Neo was such a master of shuffleboard? Certainly not Smacktle and me.
:->
I’m sorry I didn’t get to see neo or DJ. What time did they arrive as I left around 8:40?
Neo was there when you were Shakey. You may have the same problem I had, which was not knowing Neo’s true identity. She also went by another name on here.
**Insert Johnny Carson “I did not know that” here**
Unless you did know that, then don’t insert anything.
DJ arrived not too long after you left, I don’t remember exactly what time. This actually turned out to be the latest running BHH so far. I think the last stragglers left somewhere around 1:00 a.m. Matt talked me into drinking a Caucasian (White Russian) as is the Dude’s wont. I think he and DJ both had one. Then I saw some Kamikaze drinking going on. My head sort of hurts this morning… I’m not really sure why.
:->
Now I’m really upset! Neo was there and didn’t give me a big hug? I was so anxious to meet her.
Geez!
Headshaker
#52
How soon you forget! I gave you a hug! Now I feel like chopped liver!
neo, check your email!
HS, I checked - nothing!
neo, email me at info@headshaker.com so I can make sure I have the right address.
Thanks.
Headshaker
Got it. Check your email!
Neo
It was indeed a nice time. After my parting shots yesterday I had to show…I did not want the days news to be “DanielJames No Showed”….again.
I am really sorry I did not meet Headshaker and Sarge.
If I tend to soften up a bit it will be the direct result of humanizing the LST’rs.
Tunrs out that Bigs is a good man! LOL
I think a good time was had by all. Neo, any time you need a shuffleboard partner, let me know. Dude and Smack, I think Neo and I will take y’all on anytime!
DJ, Sarge, Big45, Jeff, Buddy, Shannon, the “lurker” (and whichever “new” folks I met last nite - It was a great pleasure to meet y’all.
Sparkle - to continue our conversation, Hell, yeah, I am ready to rock! I’ll be holding up my lighter at the next concert, too.
And, oh, the Dude may have something to interject about “no purchases of home-brewing equipment”.
Who drank the koolaid?
I think it was spiked!
I have it on good authority that the Kool-Aid was not spiked, and Matt did happen to drink some.
The kamikaze’s, however, were quite sufficiently ’spiked’.
I had a blast last night. Thought you were a great group of people. Don’t know whot I expected, but you people certainly surpassed any expectations that I had. Thank you for a wonderful welcome to the group. For those that didn’t guess by now, this is Jef (you know, the blind guy).
Sorry, I promised my E-mail address to a few people. Here it is, and I do check it every day: jhenley9@houston.rr.com
Jeff, glad to see you drove Buddy home safely.
1-F Jeff driving? Heh. Reminds me of Al Pacino in “Scent of a Woman”. Hoowaaahhh!
