boggs is blue

 i was at the liquor store tonight and bought a can of modelo, and last night drank a can of busch light with the evening meal so there still are four beers waiting. there was one display with baseball player wade boggs in it, a sticker on a glass door that is, for pabst blue ribbon beer. one can partially see a hashtag on a shirt he is wearing, an online search said it is 'boggs is blue'. something about the brewery stole his identity to create a mascot. i have drank that beer before, especially at bars i have been performing at. since it is a bargain basement beer. but this is weird to find this kind of story, claiming there are some demands to be met. i do recall wade while he was playing baseball, even name-checked on an episode of 'cheers' since that show has a setting in boston and wade mostly played for the red sox. although he got the milestone 3,000 hit with tampa. and i have one of his cards with the red sox, surprised i have only one. guess i have seen retired baseball players do ads before, i recall robin yount having his name on a lemonade i tried at a convenience store. at work no tech arrived, did not get called either. so i did my best to get out what needed to go out, and now just one day behind on running fargo checks through. it meant pulling out as many unsealed ones that i could find. i went to hy-vee in eagan in the evening, and saw decorations that seemed more appropriate for fourth of july than memorial day such as 'let freedom ring' and 'red white and grilled'. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 36 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when raj lives with sheldon because leonard spends plenty of time with priya, but then her parents say she is moving back to india. howard's mom calls sheldon 'the skinny weirdo'. this was a season finale. it was followed by the conclusion of the second wedding ceremony for leonard and penny.
