The next time you have a water spill...

...be thankful it isn't beer.

Last night, while sleeping, one of our lovely cats decided to jump up on the shelves behind the kegerator. And I bet you'll never guess what it did when it slipped off??? That's right... turned on the tap.

The result was about 3/4 of a keg (10+ gallons) of Yuengling Lager on the floor. Not only is that the most horrendous case of alcohol abuse I've heard of, but all of the cats were still walking straight this morning... so they didn't even enjoy it for me.

You can't imagine how far 10 gallons of beer will flow on linoleum floors.

Emptied the entire keg and the entire CO2 bottle. And to make matters worse, my Mom is visiting this weekend... which means we need to explain why my kitchen smells like a fraternity house.

And the kicker is that while we had our back door open moving things out of the kitchen and cleaning, a skink slid in through the back door, got attacked by a cat, lost its tail, and scurried under our dishwasher... so now we have a no-tailed lizard in our house. That's when I really decided I needed a beer... which of course I didn't have :(
 
Brian I dont have any beer right now but feel free to come over for some Jack and of course I have plenty of wine. Sorry for your bad luck Hope it all gets cleaned up. I bet mom will love the big fishtank and the beer smell.

Dude -- I just sat down to enjoy a nice brew and I read this. Whoa -- those cats must be in a heap of trouble. Sorry for your pain, but that was one of the funniest stories I've read in a while :D

... almost rube goldbergesque
 
Your cats sounds just about as bad as our dogs..... They yank bird cage bottom trays out and drag newspaper everywhere. Taking trash out of trashcans and drag'em everywhere as well. Go through flower pots and yank the plants and dirt out everywhere...Running around the house chasing down bugs that flew into the house....I feel your pain....lol....

Thankfully the kitchen has lost its smell by now. The lizard has still not been found although I'm not sure if the cats would have made him a snack if they found him. The keg is still empty but I did the brewery tour at Yazoo this weekend with my folks and picked up a growler of Hop Project #6 (a limited run IPA they made)... and it is tasty goodness.

The smell emanating from mix of floor cleaner and day old beer brought me right back to pledging...


And Jack... I could not identify the culprit (no smelly paws) but they better watch their backs because I'll be tailing them...
