Preach on. Heineken is fucking swill. Crisp, tart, swill. I NEVER understand why this crap is served when people want to have good beer at an event. If you want mass marketed beer that everyone knows, there are plenty of great choices. Bass is good. Sam Adams is good. Brooklyn is good.

You are knowingly comparing a pilsner to 3 brown ales. You may as well compare Scotch with Gin.

I know some people think that ales are too strong in the taste department (although, drinking pilsners or lagers, or whatever budweiser and heineken are, is like drinking light beer as far as I'm concerned), but let the thrashers of the world drink bud. There should always be a choice of beers which incorporate the tastes of people who actually like the taste of beer and not water.

So why not suggest some lagers. Or Stouts. Or English Bitters. IMHO, all of which are more enjoyable than Ales.

Rolling Rock is similar.

Another cheap American brand

Corona I can stand if I have to drink beer that tastes like diluted crap.

Gimme a Tsingtao

Glad to see the decision, but I have to admit I thought Bowers v. Hardwick always had one of the more funny and appropriate case captions... NTTAWWT or ant twat or netawoot or whatever...

Oh, hell, I never caught that before.

That is good.

The horror -- who'da thunk that Ashton can't dance?

Why because he's a gangly straight white guy? Hmm. Yeah, that was a news flash. By the way, is that news?

And your comment about the ant twat made me laugh out loud, and when people walk by your office and see you laughing at a computer screen, they really do think you've gone over the deep end. Not that they didn't already, but I think this seals the deal for me. When people tell others that I'm out to lunch, there's always that pause....

:dance:

full story right here by the cement pond
Buddy Ebsen, who portrayed poor mountaineer Jed Clampett on the '60s TV series "The Beverly Hillbillies," was admitted to a hospital for an undisclosed illness.

It wasn't known when Ebsen, 95, was checked into Torrance Memorial Medical Center but hospital spokeswoman Ann O'Brien told The Daily Breeze of Torrance for Thursday's editions that the actor's "condition is good."

OK, all you people who said that MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island was hot were sort of right. She couldn't hold a candle to Ellie May.

Actually, I figured that the tearing up of the movie and its actresses was the news -- I pulled out the Ashton bit to point out that it wasn't.

In other star news -- Queen Latifah reportedly got a boob reduction. The article I read called her DDs cumbersome and unmanageable. Cumbersome, maybe sometimes (but not any time that involves sex). Unmanageable, no way but you gotta get to them when they are little and teach those puppies who the boss is. My DDs respect their mommy and would never pull any bullshit that would lead them to be referred to as unmanageable.

ANd I am guessing the Springfiled is not the one in VA?

Yes. The humor value of this to someone who doesn't watch the simpsons is approximately equal to having a long-winded signature containing dialog from a movie.

Flinty, nobody falls off a turnip truck anymore. Even People magazine has caught up and now uses the expression "fell off the rhubarb truck." It's not alliterative, but that's ok because alliteration is passe.

I have to admit, I'm not "down" with all the hip lingo (even though I know that even using the word "hip" is unhip, much like Paigow's theorem on the use of "classy"), so I appreciate any and all updates you can give me, fishizzle.

Actually, I always thought your moniker was cute, for the reasons I previously stated. And I knew the Simpsons live in Springfiled. That is pretty unfunny and unwitty bc it is so unoriginal.

My favorite location is Not From Here's Not Here. Simple yet makes me laugh.

Those signatures are pretty annoying, yes?

It's a funny thing, but IPA tastes fucking disgusting outside the four walls of an Indian restaurant. Since several bad IPA experiences, I'd never thought to pick up a six of Tsingtao at a supermarket, or ask for a Sapporo at a bar, on the theory that all ethnic beers suffer the same need for context.

But now you've got me intrigued, and I might pick up a big-ass Asahi on the way home, though I'd really hate to be sipping beer and watching porn and suddenly get a jones on for anago sushi with nowhere to get it at 3 a.m. This ain't Manhattan, you know.

Ellie Mae was hot, and her dad was a multi-millionaire, but two things: One she could kick your ass- she was always beating up Jethro, and he could kick your ass. Two, the whole critters thing could turn creepy. Otherwise, she's great. My favorite was always Marilyn Munster because she has the humble, I'm very plain thing going on.

Singha is pretty good stuff, and it tastes even better when eating at most Thai restaurants, which are usually incredibly cheap...

The more serious problem with SATC was put far more succinctly on the Stalin Board by an angry young man whose name now eludes me, and it goes like this: "Roger Daltrey with tits." That, and I haven't wanted to nail Kim Cattrall since "Mannekin"; Cynthia Nixon is just plain funny looking, though probably a nice person; and Kristin Davis, while very pretty, turns me off because her character is annoying and unappealling.

Finally, there is a gaping plot hole in SATC. None of these women, if they existed in real life, would be friends with each other. They would never meet at the coffee shop, never call each other on the phone. It's glaringly obvious.
