This has got to be ONE OF THE GREATEST RANTS OF ALL TIME! Try imagining R. Lee Ermey belting this one out. The shivering conniptions of laughter appear. Kudos! (and quite on target, as well.)

Speaking as an Irish person, I think anything that makes alcohol harder to get hold of can only be a good thing.

Go Canada!

whats with Canada and alcohol? I was there last year and it was like 7 bucks a pint PLUS taxes PLUS tip (cuz of course its too much to expect me to order at the bar and take the drink to the table myself). I’m not particularly stingy, but that made me vomit blood through my eyes. and even in off-licences (or whatever you crazy kids call them over there) it costs a bomb. what did it taste like? ashes and tears.

Currently supping a “golden glory” from Badger.
Also, is this an experiment to see how many triggers for RiM can be squeezed into a single sentence?

In the split, they get to keep Fin du Monde
I has a 6-pack of that with me right now.
I do not expect to be healthy in the morning.

I am not sure if I approve of the weird shit Badger put in their beers (peach flowers: elderflowers???), but I will forgive them a lot on account of Tanglefoot.

No offense, but this seems kinda BS to me. Obama could easily come out with the straight talk on what his plan actually does. No offense taken. Obama should do a half-hour infomercial a week on healthcare insurance reform. Or the Democratic Congress should just announce: Medicare for everyone! That would be great.It still wouldn't convince certain people that there won't be death panels, it wouldn't stop certain politicians from insisting that there will be death panels, and it wouldn't stop wingnut radiotalkers from talking about the final healthcare solution. The only life-altering thing this country embarks on without triggering major psychotic breaks in the citizenry is war.

My long-departed grandfather preferred Old Milwaukee. This was many years ago. He said it was the best beer. Two of his brothers were brewmasters in the Old Country – Germany – so I believed him, but with reservations.

Then I read some foodie survey years ago (but after he passed away), that said Old Milwaukee was the best mass-produced beer.

I still don’t mind it as long it is hot out.

I could be looking in a mirror, you know, like a parakeet…

We could do that Lucille Ball/Harpo Marx routine!

They look alike,

They walk alike,

At times they even talk alike,

You could loooose your miiiiind…

I can’t believe it hasn’t been said yet:

Real beer snobs brew their own… I just started harvesting this year’s crop of homegrown hops too. Not quite crazy enough (or enough land) to grow and malt my own barley though — THAT would really be snobbish.

That said, after I finished a growler of my own beer at a party last night (I shared) I *did* drink a PBR. After a few pints of good beer, a very chilly PBR was surprisingly not all that bad.

I’ve developed a habit of drinking the sediment as a chaser.

Some call it Marmite!

SLOW DOWN! I don’t have my notepad handy….now what’s this about a sexay scientist????

You missed her lecture, but check that site for the next date, come, and I’ll buy you a Smuttynose. You’ll recognize me because I am a- wait for it- big bad bald bastard.

Some notable quotable people from the last week. Quite an incredible collection. Some are inspiring, some are funny, some are pathetic and some will just make your head explode.

Currently supping a “golden glory” from Badger. One of the more easily available brands in the UK. Est. 1777.

Very very tasty summer drinking.

I mourn the death of Leonora’s on Bedford Avenue. They stocked the entire Smutty Nose line…on tap Bell House in Gowanus, Actor, although you're too late to hear a lecture by a botanist who could start a second career as a fashion model. Union Hall on Union St serves Six Points.

And from the Southwest border country there’s always Juan Moore beer. I’ll just have Jaun Moore.
