Everyone love dogs. Unless they are some sort of cat-loving sociopath. Even the President.
This is my review of Founders Underground Mountain Imperial Brown Ale
A few days ago, this piece was put out by the Washington Post:
The original photo
“AMERICAN HERO!” Trump tweeted, with the photo of the dog he said ran down Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a Syrian tunnel before Baghdadi killed himself.
The distinctive star of the medal was replaced with a paw print.
Trump and the Pentagon initially declined to release the dog’s name, later confirmed as Conan, but the canine has become a social media sensation after Trump tweeted a photo Monday.
Conan also collided with a real-world moment after the conservative site Daily Wire tweeted the image Tuesday with McCloughan removed.
A watermark for the site appears in Trump’s tweet, but it is a cropped version that removes the attribution of the source photo, which is the Associated Press. That would have indicated that it began as a legitimate news photo, raising the question of whether Trump or a staffer knew McCloughan had been edited out.
The writer, Alex Horton has in his tagline he is an Veteran of the war in Iraq. Since the inane notion that we cannot criticize people currently, or at any time ever served in the military is starting to make the rounds again, its either up to Swiss or I to go after this guy. Because heaven forbid somebody that currently or at any time in the past served in the military can possibly be seen in a negative manner under any circumstance…
Sorry Swissy.
Alex, as a Veteran of two tours in Iraq, it is my humble opinion that you are a fucking idiot. Do you honestly think Trump is dumb enough to NOT see there is a picture of a dog in front of him, whom he is giving a medal? Now, I get that you think Trump is a moron, but do you not think it is possible Trump or his staffer might remember that time he gave a medal…TO A DOG? Maybe where you live in idiot-land you might give a random dog a medal for being cute and walking up tall without its tail covering it’s genitals but here in reality we see that its a Photoshop. People may be dumb but we realize the photo is clearly fake, and that Trump retweeted the photo because its funny, and that is one hell of a dog.
Who’s a good boy?
Here’s the kicker, the NYT got a hot take from the MOH recipient that was removed from the photo:
McCloughan saw the photo as an attempt to herald the dog’s actions in combat, he told the New York Times.
“This recognizes the dog is part of that team of brave people,” he said. McCloughan said he worked with military dogs in Vietnam, where they helped scouts detect enemy positions.
McCloughan was 23 in May 1969 when his unit was caught in a fierce firefight in Tam Ky. He was raked by shrapnel from a rocket-propelled grenade while assessing other soldiers for their injuries, but despite his wounds, McCloughan repeatedly braved enemy fire to carry the injured to safety.
A fellow medic was killed the next day, he later recounted.
This is the world we live in, where I am forced to point out to idiots like Alex Horton they are being idiots and it comes out with me looking like I am defending Trump. Screw you Alex, and all the idiots that took it upon themselves to fact-check an obvious joke, when they could be fact-checking or showing any kind of skepticism towards things that actually matter.
What is not a joke is this beer. Quite frankly, I have yet to come across a Founder’s varietal that is a joke. This is a heavy-bodied brown ale with espresso notes and aged in bourbon barrels. They might go too far with the coffee, but that just makes it better suited for day-drinking. It will not keep you up all night, baiting your neighbors dog. Do not drink this cold, and do not chug it. Founders Underground Mountain Imperial Brown Ale: 4.4/5
I will drink it cold!
Heathen!
*presents AlmightyJB a medal*
It’s true
*puts on medal proudly*
#metoo!
I love brown ale.
I have noticed more Browns going that Porter route with the coffee and chocolate and thick quality. They seem to keep that caramel which is a nice offset to the bitter.
I almost bought this last night. Had never seen it before.
Maybe I’ll grab a 4-pack on Sunday.
Yeah, I’m a big Founders fan and seeing how I really like Browns (not the Browns), that’s a no-brainer to pu. May stop at the Craft Beer store this afternoon.

Oklahoma’s controversial permitless carry law will go into effect on November 1, after the Oklahoma Supreme Court denied an emergency temporary injunction filed by Representative Jason Lowe, according to court documents.
Lowe said if the law takes effect “it will irreparably violate rights guaranteed by the Constitution and zealously protected by the Oklahoma courts,” reports KJRH.
Lowe goes on to say in the court documents that the law could also permanently deprive plaintiffs/appellants of legal or financial recourse and endanger the public at large.
——-
The Giffords Law Center gives Oklahoma an “F” for the strength of its gun laws. Studies show gun deaths among children and teens are twice as common in states with the most lax firearm policies.
While the data is incomplete, what’s available shows a nearly 50 percent increase in the rate of child gun deaths over the past 14 years in Oklahoma, reports KOKH.
Since 2004, at least 358 children ages 17 and under in the state have been killed by guns.
As state legislators push for easier access to guns and the new permitless law is put into place, critics wonder what’s being done to protect people in Oklahoma, especially children, from gun violence.
This looks like a job for Disarmament Man!
People with children in OK should move to the South side of Chicago where they have strict gun control laws to keep them safe.
Those parents with girls should move the that lefty Mecca Sweden where they definitely won’t be raped.
“While the data is incomplete” haha
Since 2004, at least 358 children ages 17 and under in the state have been killed by guns.
How many of those 358 were just under 17 years old, male, and engaged in criminal activity?
I don’t understand the big deal. Just think of them as postnatal abortions. Plus isn’t population reduction the only way to save earth?
There’s only 3 years left!
And how many committed suicide?
Because Oklahoma has a high suicide rate, including the yoots.
Fuck I didn’t even notice that it said “killed” not “murdered” or “killed by another person”.
I think roughly two thirds of all “gun deaths” are suicides.
Yeah, that’s one of the big sleights of hand the gun grabbers like to pull. When pressed, some will decamp to the position that reducing gun ownership will at least reduce suicides because shooting yourself is a relatively easy and theoretically painless way to go, so lacking the option might keep some people from doing it. IOW merrily traipsing past the root causes of what are predominant male suicides to get to gun confiscation.
The RCMP, in their official gun training publication(s), put the number of gun suicides in Canada at approximately 80% of all gun deaths.
Having known four men in my lifetime so far that have used a firearm to commit suicide, and zero men or women that have used a gun to commit homicide, I believe it.
“Controversial” meaning “disliked by the chattering classes”.
Why is an increase in child death rate over the last 14 years caused by a law going into effect yesterday?
SHUTUP TRUMPTARD!
And… I’m out.
The Giffords Law Center gives Oklahoma an “F” for the strength of its gun laws.
The badge of honor.
“gun violence”
I. Fucking. Hate. This. Phrase.
As if violence committed with a gun is extra-special worse than any other type of violence.
“Oh dear mister robber! If you’re going to kill me, please do it with this knife I have instead of your gun!”
Excellent. Now do “hate crime”!
Beat me to it.
Bottle King is giving samples of Johnny Walker Blue today. I’m not a Scotch guy, but that’s good stuff. On sale for $185.
THANK YOU! I have struggled to understand why the media is going on and on about Doesn’t Trump know the photo is fake? Cats chasing a laser pointer. As you point out DUH!
Something something can’t meme
They’ve pretty much put The Onion out of business.
I thought the made up outrage was over the removal of the old war hero guy, not whether Trump thought it was real or not.
The important thing is the outrage, not what it’s about. Orange Man Bad! Orange Man Stupid! Please save us Obi Warren Kenobi! You’re are only hope!
*snort*
The outrage is free-floating, needing only the flimsiest pretext to attach to anything.
They tried that, they tried Trump not knowing, and they tried “it’s such a bad Photoshop!”
That would have indicated that it began as a legitimate news photo, raising the question of whether Trump or a staffer knew McCloughan had been edited out.

Dogs. DO. NOT. LIKE.
Also, if I could have an owl and an otter, that would be the trifecta of evil, serial killing animals.
You otter be ashamed!
Maybe the evil queen avatar is better suited to you Mo, sometimes you scare me,
Do NOT let this woman get hold of an Owl and an Otter. It will surely reign in the 1000 year rule if the Anti-Christ.
I can be kinda cold-hearted at times. This is true.
For instance, I have often been chastised for my moral/ethical preference for putting a suffering animal down instead of going to all sorts of heroics to keep it alive.
Also cold-hearted
1989 … that would be, like, 3 years ago, right?
Yes, and Homecoming is coming up.
Cold Blood(ed)
And it’s from 1989.
/waves at Mojeaux
Indeed it is. Man I loved that album. I wore out my cassette of it.
When we found out our dog had lung cancer, an oncology appointment wasn’t even a consideration. We made his final days comfortable and scheduled the end when he let us know it was time.
If that’s cold-hearted, I stand with Mo’ on top of ice mountain.
I join you in this. I am not sure what benefit accrues from spending $2500 on pointless heroic measures that buy the pet a few weeks or months, all of which is spent terrified and in pain.
I suspect it is about signaling
No, it’s about fear and loss and grief, which leads to selfish behavior.
You love this thing. It’s part of your family. You don’t want to let it go because what will your life be like without it?
It is the ultimate unselfish act because it’s NOT ABOUT YOU. It’s about the animal. People just son’t want to let go, thus, the animal suffers.
This is without any discussion of money, which is a not-inconsiderable consideration. you don’t have it, but we don’t talk about that because if your only reason is money, that IS truly cold-hearted.
So, none of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh-QOzHmr5s
I think in most cases it’s about selfishness. I believe it’s similar to when children won’t let their parents die in peace. It’s not about the parents, it’s about the kids who can’t/won’t let them go.
Yep.
Yup. I had to make the hard decision Monday.
It’s agonizingly painful, but it was the last gift I could give.
As my vet said, an end to suffering when suffering won’t end.
Sorry to hear that, SK. It sucks. Bad.
It is the ultimate pain reliever, the first good night’s sleep in a long time.
Sorry.
I have often been chastised for my moral/ethical preference for putting a suffering animal down instead of going to all sorts of heroics to keep it alive.
Fuck those people.
Weasel? Clean out the chicken coop just for fun
I killed and ate all my chickens.
I like the platonic ideal of dogs. The actual dogs I’ve spent significant time with? Eh.
Perhaps that’s a breed issue or an “I didn’t get to raise them” issue, but compared to dogs, cats are self-sufficient, utilitarian, and have a much more dynamic personality.
That, what you said.
I’ve had both and this is just plain false.
Sullen and aloof is not dynamic. I have had both most of my life. Dogs are companions. Cats are pest control that pisses on things.
Dogs are toddlers and cats are teenagers.
Also, gender and breed are underappreciated personality differentiators in cats. Tabbies are much less angsty and aloof than long hair breeds. Males behave more openly excited to see their owner than females.
I haven’t given up on ever having a good, well trained dog, but I think we’ll take a break from dogs once the current one kicks the bucket.
We’ve had two black cats, one girl, one boy. Both are/were “Daddy’s cat” and very clingy. The girl had congestive heart failure and is gone. The boy thinks he’s a puppy and plays fetch. He’s so sweet and loving.
We had a tuxedo who was the girl black cats’s sister/littermate. She was “my” cat marginally, but she and I did not get along, yet she clung to me. Very codependent relationship.
We now have another long-hair with a clipped tail (don’t know why), who never forgave Mr. Mojeaux for taking her to get declawed. She remembers. Boy, does she remember. She’s our boy cat’s sister and littermate. She’s weird, though. She clings to XX TD.
My mean cat was also a long-hair.
I did have a cat for about an hour once. I was on my way to work. She was lying in the street and her back legs had been run over by a car. I ditched work and took her to the vet. She wasn’t fixable so … night, night sweet kitty.
My supervisor was mad I was late (before cell phones), then I explained and she just melted into puddles.
I had a calico cat when I was a child. Had a tabby when I was a teenager.
I am a cat person from birth.
Mine are very companionable when they want to be. Like when I lie down on the couch, it’s funny to watch them battle to be the first one to lie down with me. But I am also appreciative of the long stretches of time where I might as well not exist.
Okay, so I hand-raised a cat from a 3-day old abandoned litter. She was the runt. Apparently human-raised cats are mean as the devil and twice as evil. I was the only person she would not try to kill. She was a predator of utmost innate skill ever. She did not purr.
I loved that cat.
The runts always have the fiercest personalities. We went from losing ours in the sleeper sofa because he was so small to having an 18 lb bully that catches squirrels on the fly. He has a bit of pudge, but most of that is muscle. Most of the pudge is acquired from feasting on rodents and reptiles.
He doesn’t rub like a normal cat. He stands up like Michael Jackson in Thriller and launches full on into your kneecap. You have to fake him out when food comes because he gets excited and will hit the scoop hard enough to spray kibble across the ground. He’s a big asshole, but he’s awesome!
Compared to what, a gold fish?
Agreed.
Dogs are companions in the same way a brainwashed slave is; servile, obsequious, simple-minded and unable to make his own decisions.
I got gyped!
No, not really. But hardly brainwashed or unable to make her own decisions. Best time was when we went to the dry cleaners and they misplaced my wife’s clothes. My wife was pissed when she got in the truck. Then they found them so my wife when back inside. Doggie slipped out the door and ran after my wife. Didn’t know what it was, but something was threatening her people and she wasn’t going to take it. Thankfully she’s just a mini Aussie and not a full-size one.
Dogs are like children. I can tolerate other people’s for brief periods but that’s it.
Cats and dogs. Both wonderful in their own ways
They might go too far with the coffee, but that just makes it better suited for day-drinking.
For my serious day drinking sessions I like to pair beer with a sidecar mug of coffee. Cream and sugar of course.

Bourbon Worsterchire sauce is a… unique flavor.
I’m sure it’s better than Worsterchire Bourbon, though.
It is national deviled egg day. I think I shall celebrate.
When is National Day without a Something-Day Day?”
Very appropriate for you to want a day with nothing. National Nothing Day.
But wouldn’t that still be something?
?
February 30th
In the Mojeaux house it is National Totino’s Party Pizza Day.
I had my hands on this, as well as Breakfast Stout, yesterday but decided against either. I’m not a huge fan of coffee, so I think there are better ways to spend my beer money. I should probably grab a single from the mix-and-match shelf, though…just to try one.
How about the question: WTF was that dog and WTF are we doing in Syria in the first place? Walk out.
But my Kurds!!!!
I know, right?!

This whole thing pisses me off. Hero dog killed the guy who was fighting the dictator we said must go and whose enemies we armed and hoped that those weapons wouldn’t end up being used against us. The left, since they’ve abandoned any anti war sentiment they had under Bushitler, will try to make silly political points, but let’s not lose track of the bigger picture. Get out of these ancient wars. You can’t win them.
We can win a roman peace.
People will call it a war crime, but it would end the fighting.
SHUT THE FUCK UP LIBTARD
Speaking of dogs, does anybody have a link to the story about the policeman who was arrested for abusing his drug dog that wouldn’t generate enough hits?
This asshole?
Also, just skimming the headlines of the various articles that came up in the search was depressing. Fuck humans.
I don’t remember if that’s the one I was thinking of, but I can’t wait to see the reactions I get when I post that video.
(I’ve posted the Budd Dwyer video in other fora before.)
I just wish there were a decent stout, porter, brown of heff that wasn’t $10 a six pack…
Look for Breckenridge Brewing’s Vanilla Porter.
And Leinie’s Snowdrift Vanilla Porter isn’t too bad either.
Will do. Gracias!
$35 for a 5 gallon batch… assuming you have all of the equipment.
And unfortunately, it looks like the $10 a six pack price point is sticking, you’ll have to move up to $16 twelve packs (such as Bells Best Brown).
When I clicked on the link I got a ad from the Family Friendly group asking for donations. I guess Moy, GT and Hayek are letting us all down by not getting this site tossed from that list. SugarFree can’t be blamed since every monitor who has read his “fiction” has been struck catatonic and hospitalized for trying to read his articles.
Oh and good morning. Fried eggs and corned beef hash is on the breakfast menu.
Moy?
It’s not enough you cut me off, you misspell me too?
Hrmph.
He meant Alison Moyet.
Yeah, yeah what Ted S said. That’s the ticket.
(Sorry Moj for Moy’ing you.)
At least you don’t think it’s pronounced “Mo-Jew”.
Of course it is.
Who, me?? What? Not enough titty selfies? You’d be disappoint. (I know I am.)
I did try to do my bit with the cunte emoji: ((^))
The other day on Twitter someone asked about what is your most cringey thing you did years ago that is still cringe. Since 1989 was, like, 3 years ago, does anyone else cringe and then calculate HOW MANY YEARS AGO that thing really happened?
Me, this morning: *remembers* *cringes*
Me also, this morning: You shit, that was 20 years ago.
I don’t even know what 20 years feels like.
Cold and stiff.
Now that my teenager is around full time, I have far too many cringe moments. She spends a lot of time looking at me like I’m nuts, mostly due to movie and pop culture references she doesn’t even remotely get.
It was weird having to explain to someone what the KKK. The questions was brought up because I’d sat her down to watch Forrest Gump.
Granted, I suppose someone using “Yes!” and “Ok” ala Dave Chappelle might seem a bit strange to someone who doesn’t know the reference. That being said, i will never let the “Mask” and “Dumb and Dumber” references go. I WILL NOT GROW UP DAMN YOU!
I’m with you, Seabass.
Do you…. want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?
No, but could you tell me what the soup du jour is?
Some of my pop culture, I make my kids watch to understand. For instance, XX loves War Games. On the last 2 days of school, she took it for one of her classes to watch. Her teacher was too young to remember it. The thing that struck XX was that it had a lot of “shit”s in the movie and the class was shocked. Checked the rating, PG.
I quote Real Genius, Big Trouble in Little China, Clueless, Labyrinth, Willow and other stuff all the time.
However, having them watch Animaniacs is an exercise in frustration. The pop culture references are too time-specific and did not age well.
“I quote Real Genius, Big Trouble in Little China, Clueless, Labyrinth, Willow and other stuff all the time.”
Carfeul there lil’ lady, that’s a whole lot of awesome packed into one sentence!
“Can you hammer six-inch spike through a board with your penis?”
“Not right now.”
“A girl’s gotta have her standards.”
Princess Bride, too, I hope.
For us office drone, Office Space, as well. Especially if you have a co-worker who can riff on the dialogue with you. I think every assistant I have had for at least 10 years has gotten a red Swingline stapler.
Do you put their desks in the basement?
I quote it, but I … have never seen Princess Bride. I own it, but have never been able to get through the first 10 minutes. I don’t know why.
*runs and hides from Glibertariat*
I like “Office Space”
My wife can–and has, in my presence–recite the entirety of Princess Bride, line for line. Every line of dialog, in order, from the very beginning to the very end. Growing up she didn’t have cable and they lived in the sticks, so reception wasn’t great. They had VHS and that was it, so they wore out a copy of Princess Bride. This is also why she and her brother are like autisticly good at Tetris.
I’d add Clue to the list as well.
Holy Grail
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Jaws
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Airplane
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Seconded.
Unforgiven has more quotable lines but the “endeavor to persevere” bit in Josey is one of my go to references.
“endeavor to persevere”
For a little while, my avatar for the office IM system was a picture of Lone Watie from the part of the movie when he gave that speech.
“Doing good ain’t got no end”
“Buzzards got to eat, same as worms”
Doing right ain’t got no end.
The difference between “good” and “right” is significant.
While Holy Grail is good, I still think Life of Brian is the better movie.
Oh, and add some Mel Brooks to the list.
While Holy Grail is good, I still think Life of Brian is the better movie.
Seconded.
Two good picks to add there.
Plus “Life of Brian”
“Blazing Saddles”, “The Producers”, “Young Frankenstein”, “Space Balls” at a minimum.
“Blazing Saddles”, “The Producers”, “Young Frankenstein”, “Space Balls”
Yep.
Weird Science, “Chips, dips, chains, whips.”
There’s a running joke in our family about the movie Clue and scratch-and-sniff Clue cards, which my BIL believed were actually going to be a marketing gimmick surrounding the movie (that theaters would give out such cards which would be part of solving the on-screen mystery).
Just in case you weren’t aware, there were a couple of movies that used that exact gimmick.
John Waters is a national treasure.
Shirley Knott: I just saw him this year presenting at the Viva Las Vegas Burlesque show. He’s signed on for this year’s show as well.
*sigh* Next year’s show…
Kids today don’t consume 40-year-old pop culture like we did back in the day because that was what was on TV all day every day.
My 18 year old niece has seen every episode of Transformers, Thundercats, Voltron, Dino-Riders and Sliders.
“Next on USA, UP all night!”
If my daughter is an indicator, if you stop getting live TV and rely largely on streaming, you eliminate the datedness to some extent. We’ve got Hulu Live, so that gets us some modern kids stuff, and HBO Now gets us Sesame Street, but right now the three highest shows in her rotation are the original Scooby-Doo, What’s New Scooby-Doo (from the early 2000s), and Dora the Explorer from the 90s. She’s 4 so it’s all new to her, and either because she’s too young to notice or because she’s growing up with a different media dynamic she doesn’t notice or seem to care that some shows look much older than others.
One of my favorite quotes is from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Notorious”:
We are protected by the enormity of your stupidity, for a time.
About a year ago, some of my co-workers were decorating the cubicle of a fellow employee who turning 30 years old. I remarked that I had worked for the company longer than that.
It got a laugh.
I had a former coworker that due to acquisitions, he had more years with the company where we worked together than that company had existed. Every acquisition he had gone through preserved acquired employee’s start date with the acquired company.
Fuck humans.
What are you, some kind of cis-speciesist?

So we have had a local ‘tampered candy‘ scare. I’m betting hoax.
Australian Anti-vaxxer says hold my

Proofreading Cods & Cuntes. Chapter 18 is mighty boring at this point.
Sounds a bit slimy…
Dude does have four kids by three women, so … yeah.
How the fuck does that happen? All seriousness…
The first mother, fine, maybe he’s growing up and she can see some glimmer of a man or good mate or something, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.
Mom 2, obviously some red flags.
Mom 3…. She’s just jumping on the band wagon at this point.
You left out the part where one of them came back.
So first, it’s 1420 and he’s an earl.
Second, they all live with him, plus a fourth mistress. He doesn’t want to marry any of them because reasons, but he needs a wife.
Then he gets married to a noblewoman (business decision), and the earl and new countess are insta-besties. The countess doesn’t care … until she does, but he’s already friend-zoned her. Hard.
So he’s fucking four women but not his wife and she’s getting pissy. Yes, that is how the dynamic works when the girl catches feelings for her bestie. The rules change.
If it weren’t a medieval romance, I’d title it Friend-Zoned.
Having a lot of bastards and no heirs will be a problem for Earl Philanderer.
That is part of the conflict.
One reason he needs a noblewoman is that he wants a legitimate heir so that none of his women have an expectation that her son will be appointed his heir.
The law is that he can’t legitimize them, even by marriage, but that he can name one his heir, but not for the title.
But he DOES end up naming one as his heir anyway.
Just take one for the team and impregnate your wife already; it all feels the same in the dark anyway.
And he’s a noble with multiple mistresses. You can use your favorite mistress’ privates to wash off the stink from your wife.
The conflict is that he can’t get it up for a brunette. Like, we’re at “she’s got cooties” level immaturity here.
On a more serious note, I started to doubt myself with a late-night Glibs discussion of my friend who got friend-zoned.
I think it was KSuellington who said if he didn’t want her to begin with, he’s never going to. So now I’m not sure if my listy earl’s conversion to the gospel of his brunette wife is believable, or if I should just trust the fantasy to do its job.
lusty*
She is using his need for a legitimate heir as her excuse to get him tompomy up the baby juice, so he doesn’t know she caught feelings and doesn’t give 2 pence about a kid.
So not only does he think she has cooties, she’s hounding him for a kid, and we all know that’s a boner killer.
to pony up* the baby juice
I think the whole ‘out of the friend zone’ thing is pretty easy. The ‘friend zoned’ person just needs to do a surprising feat in front of their target and then immediately give romantic attention to someone else. There are some obvious exceptions of too old or fat… but that should suffice or at least be believable.
She is very hot. He has, shall we say so as not to spoil anything, an event in his past that makes brunettes a no-go.
She tried to make him jealous. That didn’t work.
What DOES finally work is a surprise to both of them.
This is not to say that he does not love her, because he does.
Sounds like you need to re-watch “The Lion in Winter”. Peter and Katherine can give you a few hints.
Some of the insults thrown about in that movie are easily referenced in family conversations by the kids, my ex and I.
It’s simple. Dude be concubining.
*dated article and I couldnt find the original

“I be concubining.”
LOL
Mmmmm, hazy IPA. You haters can bite me.
Voodoo ranger is one of the few IPA’s I can stand…
I don’t like bitter IPAs. But I am liking the ones with much less bitterness and citrus notes.
“I don’t like bitter IPAs.”
The best thing is that they all taste exactly alike, so you don’t have to be picky! That much hops will completely cover up the taste of the beer, no matter how shitty it is! And be a brew master on your first try! You can make a high priced hipster juice IPA in your mop bucket at home for cheap!
Then you might like Cigar City Guayabera
Hazy and bitter? How can you beat that? When we were down at the pub last night, I ordered the wife some American lager, because it was the only thing on the beer list she might like, she only drinks light Euro lagers like Stella or Heineken. I wasn’t surprised when she looks at me with a sour face and says ‘something is wrong with this beer’. I said ‘Let me guess, it tastes like an IPA, like, I mean every American lager ever made except for Budweiser, which just tastes like yeast with some sort of industrial chemicals in it’. She says ‘What’s an IPA?’, I pointed at the glass and said ‘That’. The worst part is that I had to drink that swill because she wouldn’t, before I could get back to my excellent German Heffe.
Powerline’s “The Week In Pictures” is pretty good this week. There is an engagement photo near the end that is very good.
Yep, they have some consistently funny stuff for their Saturday pic drop.
I’ll have to add that to my must read Saturday pages…
lol @ Philosoraptor
Oh my god I’m literally dying.
Further increasing my suspicions about the Babylon Bee lurking us, when the Bee posted this on their Facebook page, it was under the caption “Stunning, brave, etc..”

“Who’s a Good Boy?”
Not me, that doesn’t even sound like any fun at all.
I just pre-purchased Red Dead Redemption 2. I never pre-purchase games, but come on, for a PC RPG gamer, how do you not buy this? And only 3 days to wait.
Played through the PS4 version and now I’m getting the PC version. Double dip.
Shit, I got my posting all fucked up already. I was going to reply to your post, but forgot I didn’t hit post comment on my other reply to Messican’s article first.
Anyway, no doubt someone here either owns Babylon Bee, writes for it, or they are lurking the hell out of us. No way can they have so much Glib material by accident.
Meh, They may just be fellow travellers. It is not like you can’t read an article on the straight news and immediately predict 90% of what people here will say about it.
Oh snap, we’re thought leaders!
We can’t allow the Russians to beat us!

Well, no doubt disarming our own citizens is the way to defeat them Ruskies before they really steal our democracy. Democrats are such geniuses.
Just sold a bookcase and side table that are older than me and I cribbed from my parents. There are lots of memories going out this door and I don’t quite know how I feel about it. I do know I want them gone. But why? I’m not going to replace them with anything. Not buying new because I’m tired of something. I’m just … dumping my life. Probably so ething to do with the fact that I made craft projects out of them and I’m never going to be happy with whatever design I come up with and they’re always going to look unfinished to me.
This moving gig is weird.
“There are lots of memories going out this door and I don’t quite know how I feel about it.”
Just think of it this way. The bookcase and side table didn’t feel a thing. Nope, they don’t miss you, sorry. I remember one time when I was a little kid and I had left one of my favorite stuffies I was playing with on the side of the hill behind the house. My grandfather just decided it was time to mow and he ran over poor stuffy with the mower and chopped him into fluff. I sat there crying on the hill with a couple handfuls of poor stuffy and when my grandfather realizes the stuffy murder he just committed, he got off the mower and came over and said something like ‘Stop crying you little puss! That was just a toy, it doesn’t care about you!’. Then he took me to the store and let me pick out a new stuffy. And all of the sudden, things were better!
Awwwww, burned the field then sowed it again. I haz warm fuzzies.
I ain’t taking her funiture shoppin’.
+r
As I said, I am not replacing it or buying new. I’m purging. This is my biggest purge yet.
What did you break, dude? Tall cans involved in the accident, am I right?
From 1982-2012 we moved 20 times (family a bit less at 18) with multiple moves which the government would not let us move all our “stuff”. The rest, got put into multiple year storage. It is strange what survived all those moves and what was discarded along the way and later recalled.
When we got here we sold off lots of stuff since the house was smaller, kids were adults with their own lives etc, still we could stand to pair stuff down.
Semi-OT: Anybody need 70 or so Apple Bananas? Free to whomever picks them up in the next 72 hours. The other 50+ I already have homes for.
There is one thing I regret purging. It was a small embroidery thing my mom had made for me. I put it in a garage sale and it hurt her feelings when a woman who wanted it haggled her down from 10c to 5c.
That is the first time I have told anybody that and shit that hurt.
I regret purging a lot of books over the years. Every once in a while I find a used replacement at Amazon and that makes me happy. But there are a lot more I don’t even know how to search for.
Yeah, my husband wants me to purge all my books, until i stare him down with a steely gaze and say no way.
I already got rid of I can’t tell you how much, including various collections I valued.
He doesn’t seem to notice the dozens of guitars and other music paraphernalia that he hangs onto…
Damn. Wish I was closer.
When you’ve lost CNN…
That’s a filthy Republican, he doesn’t count.
Well, it IS clearly labeled “Opinion”. Their real opinion pieces are labeled “News”.
“Politics” is the euphemism I see a lot of sites like WaPo and USA Today use now.
New thread!!
You’re not supposed to tell us that.
This isn’t a new thread, it’s the morning links.
