Boos & Bravos: A toast to daydrinking at Dos Gringos


BRAVO to Dos Gringos.

We're so mixed up about your possible move that we can hardly squish those limes in our Coronas without tearing up, but we understand that you want more space.

Dos, we've loved your convenience, your Coronas and your campy trailer park home right on University Drive.

As long as you don't go too far, we'll be glad to toast to a new home for our favorite "great place to daydrink."

We also hear you've sold almost 2 million Coronas in four years. That's more than 1,300 beers a day. Way to go.

BRAVO to the four UA students who are taking on the man. Suing ABOR and the state for our hard-earned money back... Why didn't we think of that?

BOO to the ASU Foundation. Yeah, we know, "It's the economy, stupid." But that's what rainy-day funds are for.

We're glad that all students who were promised scholarship checks will get them - eventually. For next semester, on time would be nice.

BOO to "Cereality." Slow with the cereal and stingy with the fountain milk.

BOO to nifty neon tube-lighting.

As we crawled out of our dungeon here in the wee hours of the night this week, our eyes were accosted by bright neon lights lining the outside steps of the new MU plaza.

And they change colors! From orange to pink ... ooh, pretty colors. Okay, so we were slightly entranced.

But if we have to dip into tuition money to pay for employee health care, and with many scholarship checks still uncut, we can't help but wonder if we really needed to Disney-fy campus after dark. Maybe the design committee should tackle this one in secret.

BRAVO to professors. Most of you make our ASU classroom experience great.

To those of you we can always get in touch with, who meet with us over and over again when we just can't get it and who are our mentors and our leaders, we appreciate you.

BOO to the Arizona Diamondbacks. You've lacked luster ever since you sent all your fresh-faced rookies back to Tucson. We miss those so-cute Babybacks and the wins they earned.

BRAVO to the custodians who followed procedure when they saw a suspicious chemical leak in the Cancer Research Institute. It ended up just being some coolant, but we're thankful they called a hazardous materials team and got checked out by paramedics just in case it was something really icky.

Thanks for going beyond cleaning up after us to keeping us safe.

BOO/BRAVO to fake IDs and those who use them.

You're breaking the law, but presenting fakes to burly bouncers and essentially spitting in the face of this country's ridiculous drinking laws takes guts.

Remember the White House Office of Underage Consumption, run by Jenna and Barbara Bush before they bit the big two-one?

We understand that someone's got to continue their work.

BRAVO to Labor Day. We thank former President Grover Cleveland who, in 1894, made sure we here at ASU would always get a day off after the first grueling week back at school. Instead of trying to use your fake in Tempe this weekend, head to Mexico and drink a Corona, legally, in honor of ol' Grove.
