College bookstore ends free beer promotion
IS THERE NO JUSTICE ANYMORE?????? x(

<snip>

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Sorry students, there's no more free beer at the Nebraska Bookstore.

The store had been offering a coupon redeemable for one free beer or $2 off an order of buffalo wings at Brewsky's Food and Spirits.

But Barry Major, chief operating officer for Nebraska Book Co., said Wednesday the promotion was dropped because of concerns by University of Nebraska-Lincoln administrators.

"The sensitivity is very high on that issue, and we share the university's thoughts on heavy drinking and underage drinking," Major said. "Had we known that the university had that big a concern, we would never have done it."

The university's NU Directions program has worked for nearly five years to curb high-risk drinking among students.

5. Dang! new York needs something like that.
I'm sure they have the equivalent in gay, but not in straight.

I thought at first it would be a topless barber shop. Bummers.

Ever been there?

6. Yup! I go there once a month.
I'll keep going until they stop giving me $2-off coupons. The woman that cuts my hair really does a good job. I have to say it publicly; Jules rules! :D

that is the problem. It is more about the terrible buffalo wing problem we have here. ;-)
Think of the poor buffalo.

4. All those buffalo, now forced to remain grounded,
just walking aruond, grazing, no longer free to fly their migratory patterns. This evil really has to stop.
