Haven't had that in a while and now I can't remember how it was different from Sierra Nevada Porter. I may have to go somewhere where they can line up an Anchor, Sierra, Guinness and Knob Creek and have a little tasting.

Or just drink six or seven gin and tonics and black out. But that's more a summer thing.

really it is more like "that's the way it's always been done" plus. The plus is for the new stuff that someone decided should be added in. which later becomes the way it's always been done.

I'll never forget the partner who I worked with who was strongly opposed to removing the Y2K language after Y2K had come and gone. he could come up with some hypothetical possibility that maybe the language could be needed if, say, everyone turned out to be wrong and there was some future fallout related to Y2K that was not apparent yet. that one was fun to argue with opposing counsel. I wonder if he still has that language in his forms.

will your contract necessarially lapse before 10,000 AD? if not then isn't it prudent to anticipate the similar problem that might arise.

Is that what the FBoys are doing on December 22nd while us FBetties are out trolling/whoring for men in our cheap shoes?

Of course, there was still the Euro problem, and there were a number of Y2K hangover issues with different dates up to a year later.

There's a similar problem for 2038 in Unix systems, and there are issues with space coding for phone numbers and social security numbers once there is a need for more digits. If he really wanted to be an asshole, he could expand the Y2K rep to cover all the variations of "similar" issues out there.

If you want to show up at Rocky Sullivan's I'll set you up with a Guinness and Powers, cheap shoes and all. If you're trolling for bottom-feeders there's nowhere else you'd rather be.

I think I owe Flower a drink as well, but they don't make frozen watermelon frapputinis there.

SN makes a porter? Hmmmm. I don't dig the SN Pale Ale anymore. Too sugary. I dig the Anchor Beer and porter. Nice and crisp. Not too sugary.

While you're at it, sample a lighter wheat beer with some Basil Hayden's. That was my favorite small batch bourbon. Nice and easy. Perfect on the rocks in the Summer. Knob Creek is 100 proof and goes down like a liquer. It'll smack you down.

Knock down a Red Bull midway through your drinking. Brings the tail end up nicely.

Good one. That line of mockery is as hilarious as it is original. Hey, any commentary on how my mother performed sexually? Ha!

Why are you so sure Not Bob is not Bob? Not Bob is the title not the thing, and the two may differ. I believe Not Bob is not what he is, but that itself is an act of faith, just as I disavow the concept of nothingness being but a foil for being without a separate and substantive existence.

To be clear, I think that nothing is itself in a state of being, and that the titling of nothing with a word implying nothing is meaningless and does not establish a lack of being, just as Not Bob's relation to Bob is not established merely by naming.

if a user id is case sensitive and I make nOtcAsesEnsitive my user ID, is my user ID case sensitive or not case sensitive? Or both?

I have decided that it was really good idea to cancel my Chicago trip this week and go to SF instead. Is O'Hare even open today? Flights to O'Hare were all cancelled this morning.

I guess we all just assumed you would provide that information for us.

I find it a little disingenuous Paul Mooney's in with this new "ban" on the word, considering that his material for Pryor and later Chappelle is arguably responsible for a lot of the word's casiual/comedic use today.
