Case of The Mad Elf from Troegs..love this beer in the winter, usually only have one at a time. anybody have ideas if this might bea good beer to cellar for a bit?
A year or two I left a couple bottles in the fridge for over a year and it was fine. Not sure about actually cellaring it though.
If any of the Buffalo locals haven't tried it, go check out the Pizza Plant over on Main St in Williamsville (first light off the 90/290 exit). Good food (Buffalo pizza shop style) and 10-12 taps of interesting and fairly obscure beers. Bear Double Rocket, Dogfish Chicory Stout, and a couple others a few nights ago.
I want to give a shout out to a nice little beer app, untappd. A friend coaxed me into trying it and it's mildly fun to catalog various beers as I drink them. I usually only manage to record the first couple of the night though. :)

I just can't get past the fact that she is on Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists and yet Alex Lifeson is not. I shouldn't hold it against her but I do.
Alex is very proficient, but doesn't much 'soul' or 'heart' in his playing. I guess it depends on how you rate things.
Errrr, Alex is #98 in the above link.

Oddly addictive:

Going out for drinks and dancing tonight. Tis the season for merriment.

I don't know what to try. I can't really use a different computer as all I have available is the MacBook I use, and it's hard to troubleshoot w/ different browsers because, even in Safari, it doesn't happen every time.. just most of the time. I could go make ten posts in a row on firefox or something, but maybe the 11th one will mess up. I can't be the only one on here using Safari... but apparently am the only one getting this problem lol
Agreed, some times the editor preserves whitespace, sometimes it mashes everything together. Haven't figured out the rhyme nor reason yet.

Well, that could work in your favor; maybe you'll be upgraded from "kinda" to "actually" dating!
That's certainly *not* the way it's going. On the plus side, it's all for a good reason and I want her to be happy. Ideally involving me somehow.

Hats off to you, CSB -- you literally saved Christmas for that little girl, and that was awesome. I remember a number of years back my parents did something similar for my cousin... they never had much money anyhow, and his step-dad was an alcoholic A-hole who went out and drank away the money he was supposed to use for presents. So, my parents bought a bunch of inexpensive toys and things for my cousin and let him think it was all from Santa. I can't understand people like those parents, but again, good on you. :worthy:
Wow, that's exactly like the song:
Complaint: It's a complicated story, but girl I'm kinda dating is evaluating whether we're still kinda dating.

They might be giants?! I always wanted to see a show of theirs.
I've been to a few in a bunch of different kinds of venues, always put on a good show. Venues: bar, concert hall, outdoor rock show, outdoor kids show, and (I kid you not) a Barnes and Noble bookstore. They were touring to support the kids' books they wrote/recorded.

Missed most of the Pietasters last night, but the Slackers were F'N Fantastic. Plus, I lost a little weight, I need to do the drink and dance like an idiot workout more often.

That avatar is tremendous. Surprised nobody has rolled out a Bumble avatar yet (and somewhat relieved since he still scares the sh!t outta me).
Speaking of which the undead hand is awesome, even if it's sadly apropos.

What kind of reality is that? One where only goals scored not as part of a hatrick are counted? :blink:
Were they ordered from 1-800-REALITY? (Note, number is NSFW)

I have four really cool things I've been invited to this weekend, in four different cities (Philly, Buffalo, NYC, and Finger Lakes). I can only do one. I'm going to miss a party, The Slackers in NYC, and 'The Twelve Bars of East Aurora' bar crawl since I've already paid for the all day winery/brewery limo tour of Cayuga Lake.

I like it. I almost got the same car, but settled for the Legacy Sedan. LOTS of room, and great on gas (which is great given the amount of travel I do).
I probably should have gotten a Legacy, the WRX is awful on gas (24MPG on average), maybe 27MPG on a long highway trip @75.

is it a spoiler, wing, or just a little airfoil type of deal? your answer will probably be the deal breaker lol.
Small spoiler thingy. See attached, I'm not sure how to classify it.
I'll make an exception because it was from the factory with the assumption that you had no other choice. If you had specifically requested said spoiler on your sedan, then I would make fun of you. :thumbsup:
Wasn't an option on this revision. The old WRX didn't have one (it was an option, and it was ugly).

if you can find that picture of the minivan, that'd rule. we don't actually have one, but man ... now i have all kinds of awesome ideas to pimp it out.
I've seen one with spinners before, does that help? Someone beat you to it:

Complaint: my 4-door sedan has a spoiler on it (from the factory), so apparently Biodork hates my car. :(

Thanks. I think Smirnoff used to be good. A lot of good imported stuff had some US company buy the name and then the US company started selling their own, inferior stuff, under the import name.
This is going to sound pretty snobbish, but in most cases if you figure that 7 of 10 random people know/like the product there's something way better out there. My theory is when companies start worrying about big advertising, they stop worrying about making a quality product.

Hooray for Santa Claus!

I get my car back in an hour or so, I won't be driving this any more.
It's not a bad car, really, just doesn't really fit my style (such as it is).

It's amazing the Bills still has it's fan base.
A local friend asked me the other day how we haven't torn the stadium down brick by brick after seeing the Bills lose all these years.

Another complaint for today. I'm pretty confident something has died inside me. The last three days have felt like a WWI trench when I blow off some steam. I'm a walking Yellowstone Park.
I think it's the turkey, I'm in the same boat.

cold sores. 'nuff said.
Lysine, 1000mg per day. Will knock them out in no time.

So you're saying I have to downgrade to a 52"? :unsure: And 3D tv's are for hipsters. I don't see the point...
No, you can use the 52" in your bathroom.
As for 3D, I spent a little time using a 3D tv for the first time over the weekend. Interesting effect on games, but not really worth it for movies. I'll hold off on it for awhile yet. But you know 3D is the buzzword of the year.
-
What size TV are we talking here? :nana:
52" LED 3D, with the package that sends all your watching habits and a live video feed to the FBI, CIA, NASA, and your mother.

If you do own the house, is there terrain higher up than your house causing water to run down the hill towards your house? If so, install a french drain. It will significantly reduce the amount of water that your drainage system (perimeter drain, sump system, etc) has to deal with.
I think they call those freedom drains now.
F'N...tastic Fridays....
