Applebee's controversial in Port Lavaca for potential 'club atmosphere' and MFM's lewd conduct

PORT LAVACA - The future of an Applebee's restaurant remains uncertain as residents debate extending the hours liquor may be sold.

"We're in limbo," said Port Lavaca City Manager Bob Turner. "Applebee's is waiting to see what happens with the late-night drinking ordinance."

The ordinance, which went into effect April 25, extends the hour that businesses can sell alcohol from midnight to 2 a.m. Applebee's officials have said they will open a restaurant at state Highway 35 and Virginia Street only if the hours are extended.

Walter Spiller, a retired resident of Port Lavaca, says he does not believe extending the sale of alcohol by two hours makes much difference.

and told me that a lot of her friends over there want he help with getting US visas. The phone went dead for just a second and was kind of scratchy after that.

I know that he appreciates a good laugh. It's also payback for calling me a slacker a couple months ago.

to do handstands in order to pee and a group of 3 or more of us doing

Seriously though, the Applebee's is staying open after midnight so how does anyone see anything in the dark?

You know that our politicians don't give a hoot about whether women get raped so why have lights in parking lots? The parking lot is actually a new concept here and the horses are scared that we'll do away with hitching posts.

''If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.'' -- Clayton Williams, Republican gubernatorial candidate, 1990

The good news is that we still have watering troughs in case you need to take care of that peeing business.

You're supposed to use the water to quickly 'wash' your face, pits and groin area (It is also good for getting rid of stink-breath, or so I'm told) so as to help attract women at the bars. At least that is what we were told in High School sex-ed.



Maybe this is why I never found me a good wolf-girl
