Same here. It's a gimick, but fun for a case a year. There are some that do have pumpkin in them, but really they don't taste all that different. The watermelon beer is better than you'd think. It's using real watermelon, so it's a nice mellow addition to the wheat-beer base. As I don't like many lager (as opposed to ale) beers, I tend to agree with you.

It's many places around here. Wegmans regularly stocks a couple types, and I've found the Watermelon on tap a few places. Had a couple on Saturday.

There are mother-###### snakes in his mother-###### car.

I'm with you on this one. Beer (and wine for that matter), break down into three categories: beer I like, beer I don't like, and beer I haven't had before. Maybe it's just laziness on my part, but reading someone's description has no link to the part of my brain that records tastes. If you're sitting with someone, I find that offering that person some is far more efficient than trying to describe it. What helps is my personality tends to like variety over perfection. I've run into very few beers I couldn't stand to drink, so even if a beer isn't perfect it's enjoyable. So if you order something, odds are I'll at least enjoy the process of drinking it, even if I wouldn't order it again.

He's the second coming of Steamin' Willie Beamin.

:w00t:

It's really nice of the Bills to kill off hope before the season starts. This way when they go 6-10, we can all say that they played better than expected.

Didn't really plan on it, but my wife and I saw the Dead Milkmen on Saturday. They were playing a free concert to benefit Rally for Rock, which is a Philly organization to provide music education to kids. DM are one of those bands I like, but I never managed to see. As soon as they started playing, it was like I was transported 25 years into the past. Incredible. https://www.facebook...42972512574744/ My house is just down the road (a mile or two) from where they went to high school. I have a whole new appreciation for their music, and understand what it would be like to be bored enough (as a kid) to drink bleach. :)

Lucky, the PA Driver's License Center doesn't take cash, debit, or credit, just checks and money orders. I'm surprised that wasn't complained about above. The tag places take checks or debit, maybe credit.

Heh. At least there are tons of tag places, so as long as you pick your spot registering your car will only be a 20-minute process. My wife just did her switch a month or three ago. Don't remember it being that bad, but we had a BC, passport, marriage license, and some stuff (magazines) with her name on them. And I was there, with my existing PA license. I don't remember it being that bad the first time around, but that was long enough ago (2005) that the federal checks on licenses weren't in place yet. (hint: I'm betting if you were a new NYS resident it'd be just as bad). Complaint: the new WGR Android app. Seems they forgot the quit/close button again so it's always running. Coupled with the new, more invasive privs, it's uninstalled now.

Overheard in Philly: 15-year-old kid, "I wonder why the Danny Briere jerseys are on sale." Dad: "That's because the Flyers cut him." "What? The Flyers are so stupid."

Good for him, maybe he can catch on with a winning team.

That's the great thing about football ramping up: hockey isn't far behind.

And, starred in my "Places to Try" list. Thanks! I haven't been to this place before, but I've heard good things about it: http://www.bubesbrewery.com/ It's in Mt. Joy, so only an exit or three further down the road.

I don't know the details, but there has to be some sort of electrical connector between the wheel and the column which slides (I don't think you could get away with a straight cord since the wheel turns too far). Or, there is a cable and the individual wires have broken/worn the insulation off so their intermingling in an electron ######. Sorry to say it, but I doubt it will be cheap (if I'm right, I hope I'm not).

Elma, but close enough. Iroquois 1994.

Those "One Before I Die" kids are too young to be whining.

I have a Thurman Thomas signed hat somewhere. He spoke at the EMW (Elma - Marilla - Wales) football banquet when I was a kid.

Cool. Cambodian is a lot like Thai with less spice. So I'm guessing it's all pretty similar. I'll have to find a Laotion place down in Philly to try it for myself. Lunch: few-days-old Wegmans Basamati rice, with fresh ground black pepper and Dinosaur BBQ seasoning. It's one step up from baked beans straight out of the can (Hobo-beans).

6-10. That's been my prediction every year since the mid-90s.

I didn't get a chance to try any Laotion food when I was over there. Is it more similar to Cambodian, Vietnamese, or Thai?

Why wouldn't hops be vegan? Colour me confused.

Soupy - other NHL regular Janek - Jillson Fitzpatrick - ? That's all I can remember.

I shed a few, I'm not afraid to admit. Not to that guys level though.

I lucked out. I was across the street from my apartment at Sly Fox Brewing watching the game. After the second period, the TV feed disappeared. I walked home and it was not on my TV either (some error message). So I didn't have to watch, just listen on WGR. I remember the first caller afterwards breaking down in tears.
