Words amuse me. After visiting Ireland I find that I’m even more interested in colloquialisms and regional sayings. Learning just a smidgen of Irish Gaelic had me scrambling to find this old piece from the early days of my blog. Fittingly, I couldn’t remember what I’d called it. Go figure.

Everything Goes Better with Coke
One of Studly Doright’s coworkers, Mr. Z, found this beautiful piece of rusty history on Craigslist.
The asking price was $1100. Mr. Z really wanted it, but didn’t have anyplace to put it. Mr. Z decided Studly needed it for his new shop.
“No way!” said Studly. “I can buy a small fridge for $400.”
A couple of weeks later Mr. Z told Studly the seller had come down to $600, but Studly remained steadfast.
Mr. Z remained in contact with the seller who was becoming more anxious to sell the machine. Finally he agreed to Studly’s price, and we are now the owners of a 1961 model Vendo56 Coca Cola machine.
I can’t wait to stock it with Summer Shandy and Blue Moon!
