This is soooo good!

Yuk, Dell. Spill it on the notebook, please.

His Dudeness · Apr 17, 2005, 06:15 PM

Well, the notebook is really good, the OS suxx so bad... I am putting Ubuntu on it soon as I get the Hoary disks.

McEwans might be some mingin ale, but I'd down a few pints if it were free, then I'd get in a fight and break a bottle over someone's head. Know what I'm sayin fellas? In fact, his dudeness is just a few pixels away from a bar fight with Tooki.

His Dudeness · Apr 17, 2005, 06:42 PM

What are you talking about? This is the best beer I've ever had in 17 years of gallavanting around the globe.

Baseball/Football (no choice): Miller Lite
Hanging with friends: Guinness/Yuengling

Yah, posting large images will get a (much warranted) nasty-gram from the admins.

P.S. Don't mess with Tooki... (someone needs to keep the crazies in their bins)

Oh I know, it's such a huge image. It took almost one third of a second to download on by broadband connection...

We have guidelines to help out our dial up and smaller screen NNers. Same thing with the sigs. It's not my rule... all you needed to do was put "image orgy" or whatever in the title an we wouldn't have been having this banter...

It's not on my tight rotation, but I enjoy it from time to time.

I wasn't thirsty until that came along! I'll be back...

I prefer the "Champaign of beers", Miller High Life.

When your in college a case of beer for $15 is a pretty good deal!

historylme · Apr 18, 2005, 02:46 AM

If you are are to get the job done, then by all means, it does the job. But, if you want to enjoy the work and take your time to make sure the job is done the best it can... then by god man! Get a better beer!

His Dudeness · Apr 18, 2005, 02:49 AM

Nobody mentioned Pabst Blue Ribbon yet?

$15??? You got ripped off! It was like $10 for a case where I went to school. No deposit either!

Eriamjh · Apr 18, 2005, 11:18 AM

1991, Flint, Michigan. A Case of 24 12-oz. cans of Milwaukee's Best was $6. The beer mostly sucked.

ghporter · Apr 18, 2005, 11:41 AM

Cookout time: Shiner Bock
Sippin' and chillin': Chimay Red
Dining: Young's Double Chocolate Stout

I gave up on Pilsners the first time I had a hand-made Porter (gee, I wonder why?). At theTexas Renaissance Festival they have a beer tasting event, and they use "lite beer" as a palate cleanser and glass rinse.

I'm 100% spoiled with really good beers now!

It doesn't hurt that I can get all three of those beers I listed at local grocery stores instead of having to go to a specialty shop, either. Yes, they cost more than Bud Lite or Miller Lite, but I'm worth it!

OreoCookie · Apr 18, 2005, 12:41 PM

I still stick to Augustiner.

70 bucks a keg can't go wrong.

i was amazed that the local distributor has PBR cases of "BOTTELS" for 15 bucks

Even when it's free, you've paid too much.

Woof... that takes me back to my Freshman year...

Cairngorm - Nessie's Monster Bash (Scottish, 10/10)
Castelain - Ch'ti Blonde or Brune (French, 10/10)
[*}Heather Ale Company - Fraoch (Scottish, 10/10)

Anyone from Belgium which can recommended me a good beer?

Obi Wan's Ghost · Apr 18, 2005, 01:52 PM

The Speckled Hen is good, young man, but have you not tried Boddingtons? It has a thicker consistency and fuller flavor.

Boddington's is pretty good stuff, too. It's hard to find in Virginia. If you like Bud and Bud Light, you're golden. If you like imports, well... you can get Corona!

There's a TotalWine near where I live, on Denbigh Blvd, I think. They have a good selection of stuff. But they don't sell McEwan's...

xi_hyperon · Apr 18, 2005, 04:59 PM

Database ate my first attempt at this post.

We had our first official cookout of the year at our house yesterday, and did it up right with Shiner Bock. It was mmm-good!
