The Packy is open on Easter! Hooray!

In hindsight, perhaps that fact should've been obvious. But whereas the infamous Blue Laws were written by a bunch of Pilgrims who didn't understand proper English and Mitt Romney can't find a Pilgrim anywhere to help translate (despite several dozen posts on Craig's list), the liquor laws here in Massachusetts are screwed up worse than people who think reading a blog is a good way to spend an afternoon.

But yes, the Packy is open on Easter, and there are ten good reasons why:

10. A holiday isn't a holiday without a little High Life.
9. In case Brigitte Nielsen corners you and you need something to destroy the horrible, horrible memories.
8. No matter how often Scott Colby asks, the Easter Bunny will not bring Jack Daniel's and overpriced potato chips, though occasionally he can be convinced to drop off a bag of ice.
7. Drinking alone in your house on a family-oriented holiday is less depressing than drinking alone in a bar on a family-oriented holiday.
6. Nothing says Easter like a little flip cup, and the kids are never too young to learn how to own a Beirut table. How come you didn't swat that bounce you little bastard?! No jelly beans for you!
5. To help inspire Easter-related blogs.
4. The Interweb is closed.
3. The world is still waiting for New York to drink herself into a coma.
2. Judas betrayed Jesus to the Romans because Jesus routinely drank all their beer on Easter and back in the day the Packy was closed on Easter. So now the Packy is open, so when Jesus comes back and starts drinking everybody's beer, no one will get mad and sell him out to the the RIAA.
1. Relatives.

Wow, isn't it convenient how awesome things always come in groups of ten?
