That's a nordic warrior with roots in Finland.

(Well, that clears up a lot, actually . . .)

What can I say? I am an equal opportunity drinker. Talisker at http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jhb/whisky/smws/14.html

Here's my new signature, from the current Sports Illustrated:
"This is Rickey, calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball."

That was a great article. Who'd a thunk he'd be knocking around as a Newark Bear? What a fucking travesty. Don't tell me he couldn't help some team.

This entry from someone who apparently slept through the eighties and never heard of most of those people:

1. John Prine - John Prine
2. Zep - I
3. Ry Cooder - Into the Purple Valley
4. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Greatest Hits 3-cd set
5. Jimmy Buffett - You Had To Be There

Bilmore, you should check out Ry Cooder's latest, Mambo Sinuendo. If there was a list for top 5 albums for driving at night, it would be on my list.

PJ, good choices. I nearly put The Cars on my list.

I have some Highway-specific selections. My original list works on any highway, day or night, but certain highways call for certain albums. For example, Highway 1 (at least South of San Luis Obispo) demands a Beach Boys album, I prefer Pet Sounds, but you might choose Surfer Girl. Headed North on Highway 1? A Nick Drake CD sounds even better as the fog wends through the pines of Santa Barbara (or Santa Cruz). Double Bonus Points for playing "The Union Forever" off of White Blood Cells near San Simeon.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, and I don't dream of having a Guinness on a hot summer day. Several people on this board must be getting royalties for the Pisco Sour. I reserve the right to have a mojito on a summer day because I abandoned my usual drink for one after they had fallen out of favor (but while California bars still had abundant supplies of fresh mint). The Ivy makes their vodka gimlets with muddled mint; perhaps the Ivy Gimlet can be the FB drink for the summer of 2004.

You would think that with the way Catherine Zeta Jones whores herself out for money, she could shop somewhere besides KMarts Halloween department.

I'm new so maybe I've no standing to say this but, I think mmm Burger needs a different avatar. Here's why: the moniker mmm Burger CJ is a real creative twist, playing off the simpsons and the judge equally- you've all grown used to it, but remember when you first saw it-it was great. and its the equal parts twist that makes it. his avatar throws the balance off, favoring the homer side. now, avatar fashion is something we are all new to, but I think the moniker would work better with something more subtle.

Having watched the Simpsons in part a few times and never finding it remotely funny, interesting or entertaining, I thought the Burger moniker was his own pining for a burger which would make sense since every time I saw the Honorable CJs name in print in school, I thought about veggie burgers. This iskinda disappointing. And I think he should lose the avatar bc there is nothing more unoriginal than quoting, referring to, repeating, or avataring the Simpsons. ANd I am guessing the Springfiled is not the one in VA? Also, it says nothing about his persona or anything. All in all, I give the avatar an overwhelming two thumbs down.

And speaking of great monikers, I always laugh when I see Oliver Wendell Ramone. Just how genius is that?

People who need work on their avatars, or at least need to explain their significance to me, in no paritcular order:

purse junkie
robust puppy
leagl(I suggest a gigantic puffy purple LOL!!! to PO TM)
thrashers fan
T Slo
Bilmore (needs to esp lose the number of posts thing- like, is he too good to have his acutal number posted?)

Speaking of reality TV nekkidness, the Jenna/Heidi issue is out. Eh. Heidi looks better than Jenna, who looks really over-madeup and seems to have a new nose. Lots of airbrushing, but Heidi appears (I have only seen distorted web scans) to have nice puffy nipples.

Who is Heidi?

And why on earth would you consider puffy nipples nice? They kinda freak me out.

S(I have a Playboy subscription, and I haven't received this issue yet)D

Paigow,

You are now person #5 in the history of television who doesn't "get" or appreciate the Simpsons. I find it very stange that you of all people would not appreciate the best written show in television history. It works on so many levels.

I guess we have a differnce of taste. I find all forms of reality TV utterly dull. The genre is unredeemable in my view... and lord knows I've tried to watch, thinking I was missing something that everyone else was "getting."

S(I've watched a few min of every reality show I've come across, yet I just can't stick with it... is there something wrong with me?)D

You don't get the Hobbes avatar? Misunderstood genius, indeed.

One of my best friends drinks either Amstel Light or Rolling Rock when she drinks beer. When she drinks wine, she likes white zinfy. I try not to hold this against her but sometimes it's hard. Seriously, I think the blandness is part of the appeal with all of these drinks.

1)Is she from Woostah? That Amstel is a wickedgood import
2) Your avatar needs a revision also. So does Anne Elk's.

These drinks are the kiddie-bike training wheels of alcohol--you use 'em til you're ready for big-kid booze.

Perhaps she'd like a sloe gin fizz to ease her into liquor--sort of like a Shirley Temple for grown-ups. Or maybe a Pina Colada?

I think you should bequeath your avatar to leagl. It is what i picture her to look like, and well, it suits her. The blond in schooby doo is how I pic Abba to look though heravatar should not be touched.

It's all about a cute Russian who can win - http://www.mariaworld.net/photos.htm (tennis fan page photo galleries). And, she's hockey star fucking age right now.

You will appreciate that she is also know as the Screamer or something bc the noises she makes would blow Monica Seles off teh court and into Jake GYlenhaal's lap. She crushed Ashley Harkloroad, the other other new Anna who took out the original new Anna, Daniella Hantuchova in Paris. WHich goes to show that maybe Ashely wasnt so amazing as Daniella was underfed.

ANd speaking of Daniella, I neglected to report taht she lost 0-6, 6-4, 12-10. I have not seen or read any accounts of this bc I cant get ESPN for some reason. But I note the frist set shows a total blowout whjich could be inpart attributed to the skill of Daniella, bt then the unknown asian catches up. by thethrid set, the inexperienced unknown asian beats Daniella in a long ass set. Daniella cries during the changeover. Is this the anorexia catching up both physically and mentally? Or is the unkonwn asian just really good?

I picked Velma because I always hate the stupid girl and only liked the smart girl on any TV show, and as I can't figure out how to find, let alone post, other pictures I want, that's what you get.

But perhaps I should go for Shaggy. I relate well to sweet but ambitionless stoners.

I enjoy a Newkie Brown as much as the next guy with a serious drinking problem, but to hold it up as the standard bearer of brown ales does not seem right. It is an insult to Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale.

But, perhaps you are saying this to exhibit a new faux-working class Atticus in a devious attempt to raise Paigow's ire.

Or perhaps I have read you wrong all this time, and you are much more of a pint-swilling soccer hooligan type than a tuxedo-sporting dandy.

I suppose it is possible I will never know which is right. But that's O.K. - it is all just part of the magical mystery tour of internet chat boards. Carry on, Brother Atticus!

GUiness is the standard of Stout? Ever heard of Watney's? Yet another delicious treat that you cant find in DC.

Lowenbrau tastes a lot better when brewed in Munich than when brewed in Waxahachie under license to the Miller Brewing Co. I wonder why.

Probably the beer purity laws that they have in Germany and homoginization (that thing they do to milk). There are all sorts of rules and regulations regarding the production of beer. In Germany they are a good thing, nothing but the freshest and best ingredients, no preservatives, no chemical additives, just water, hops, barley, and a bit of sugar. In America, they are a bad thing. Chemicals and preservatives are OK and in some ways encouraged. We also have to overcook and sterilize the beer.

A Guinness here is very different from a Guinness elsewhere. I've heard that Heineken is very good outside of the country. Maybe their recipe doesn't cope well with the American rules and regulations.
