    A turn in events..

    As a 32 year old, looking back at going through Air Force Basic Training at 19, holy cow what a different world it was from high school. I'm not trying to be condescending to you, but you really can't quite fathom the difference. Quite frankly, you need to pack your heart back up, and move on...

    Top Gear

    The UK version was only 14 episodes, though. It didn't have a chance to get THAT bad. And yes, a lot of them started off the same, but as the series has gone on, a lot of them have been almost TOO "fleshed out" to keep it fresh. All the clever surprises are gone, and now it's turned into a...

    Shadowed beer

    I can't say I've had any beer from Switzerland! I'll definitely give those a try if I see them around :) In general, the Swiss aren't renowned for their beer for some reason :) I think Spotted Cow sells so well partly because it's not TOO unfamiliar to people, and it's a pretty decent beer...

    Shadowed beer

    Gonna have to gather some of them up! Gumballhead might be distributed here at some point in the near future. You owe it to yourself to try it if you see it :) A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' - who knows? I don't know if Lagunitas distributes here yet. If they do, it's also a must try! I'll...

    Top Gear

    I'd disagree that the US Office is A. Still good B. In any way currently similar to what the UK version was. The first couple of seasons, maybe. After that it's turned into the patently absurd. I really wish they would have killed it off after the 3rd season or so. Ramsay's Kitchen...

    The Final Straw

    You know, I can forgive just about anything. This is WAY over the edge though. What's next? He'll start liking country music?

    Top Gear

    I think (hope) that most of the reason it wasn't picked up is because NBC is pretty dependent on motor companies for advertising. How hard would it be to sell ad space to Ford, GM or Chrysler after the show just got done ripping their cars? Or to Toyota after a segment making fun of unintended...

    Shadowed beer

    If they have had the capacity to export, I suspect they would have been outside of MN by now. Wisconsin or Illinois would be natural export markets for them. I think it's awesome that they started off as homebrewers just a dozen or so years ago! Hopefully it happens soon! I'd love to have...

    Shadowed beer

    I'm not aware of any laws in MN that would restrict distribution outside of the state. After all, we have plenty of beer from August Schell down here that would exceed the state of Minnesota's definition of "beer" (3.2%). My guess is that Surly just doesn't have the capacity to manufacture...

    Top Gear

    It's gonna take a few years for it to be good, if it's ever going to be good. Their choice of hosts is suspect at best, though. I just hope to god that it doesn't turn into a huge lovefest for crappy re-hashed muscle cars with live rear axles in the same way that Top Gear has sort of turned...

    Shadowed beer

    FCBC has had some interesting beers from time to time. They had a nitro retro red on tap last time I was there that was pretty good. It's pretty solid all around, just nothing that gets the beer freak in me all worked up like the imperial pilsner they used to have at O'Dell :D Coopersmith is...

    Shadowed beer

    Hey to each their own! I like New Belgium as well. Mighty Arrow is pretty good. Sunshine wheat is one of my guilty pleasures. I LOVE La Folie. Most of the Lips of Faith series is pretty good. Of the "core beers" that both do, I like O'Dell's better. That's just me though. Maybe Ranger from...

    Shadowed beer

    Generally speaking, the more popular a beer is in terms of sales, the worse it is in terms of "good beer". Beer is kind of like cheese. Almost everyone will gladly eat a slice of yellow monstrosity packaged in cling wrap, but a 5 year aged cheddar is a fair bit less popular, and goat cheese...

    Sierra Nevada 30th anniversary stout. losing a bunch of weight really messes up your tolerance, you know?

    Beautiful Day Beer Thread

    Depends on what you like. This is roughly my list: The high gravity stuff from Avery is outstanding (Maharaja, the Czar, Mephistopheles' ) I LOVE Oskar Blues. Ten Fidy is one of my favorite beers, and I also love Gordon. I can't wait to get my hands on some Gubna. Old Chub is good, as is...

    Beers named for Iron Maiden Songs

    I'd like to try a Rauchbier named Holy Smoked. Delicious :D

    AT&T Wireless

    *sigh* not true. You can roam with GSM as well. It's just that there aren't many GSM providers in the US (T-Mobile and AT&T and a few small regional ones) and the ones that are, tend to have overlapping coverage (i.e. big cities).

    Worst Final Four Ever

    How can there be upsets if there is parity?

    Bud Ice

    Ice beer is sort of like beer concentrate. It's made by chilling the beer to just under the point where it freezes and skimming the ice off the top. It's really just Budweiser-branded malt liquor made a little differently. Not really much different than Olde English 800 or Mickey's or Colt 45...

    F-35B Fighter Lands Vertically for the First Time

    We haven't built B2s in decades. It was just hitting production at the time the USSR fell, and so we built a few of them and stopped because there was simply no need for them. I'm sure LM's goal is to sell as many planes as they possibly can. They aren't in it for the taxpayers. They are in...
