Big fan of Kurt. I remember the day he died. Huge humble talent IMO. The unplugged brought me around to the Meat Puppets. We used "Shine" at our wedding reception. "In the middle of a battle is a little of the way you talk...and you shine...." It seemed to fit us.

I buy supermarket meat. It's ok. I grew up in farm country so I know what specific animals you'd find on the shelves. I'm not saying it bad. It's just not a prime animal. You pay top dollar for something that was bred for meat. Not some old milker that couldn't get up anymore. I do remember those home grown steaks though. I thought I was some poor kid at the time. Stupid me.

100% chance at a full recovery? It doesn't get any better than that, Bio. It sucks that he has to suffer. I'm sure he will be better than ever. That's what those old dudes do. My dad is not only still chugging along after a dozen "you should be dead" issues...He's flourishing! I am sure that your dad will be feistier than ever. A 40 min commute is nothing. Jump on that offer. I drive that much or more to the site, to drive 40 mins or more to the hall to do class, and 40 mins home. Hell. I drive 40 mins to watch the Amerks play. No cheese is better than processed cheese. I eat my sandwiches dry. No cheese. No mayo. I am an odd one though.

Sh!tty week. A man was killed on our site Monday morning. He drowned in the GD river. He wasn't in my trade but was a union brother. Wife and three young children. I can't go into detail. The younger workers were pretty shaken up. I realized how desensitized I am to this type of tragedy. If anyone would like to donate to the family there is a go find me. I can't give any details but you can call the Carpenter's union hall in Rochester. They will give you the info. Thank you George W for pillaging OSHA. We working class folks don't deserve to stay safe. Profits before people. It's sad that you only see OSHA on jobs anymore when someone gets killed. Be proud of yourself George. You rat F'ing bastard!

Their beef is perfectly aged. I have it sent to my folks. My father raised and butchered a beef every year. He was careful to age the meat enough. He appreciates the effort involved. Their product really is worth the premium.

Welcome to the ranks soldier. Congratulations.

Maybe he's a grower and not so much a shower? Maybe if he got the first pick we'd see the full name?

In your opinion is that common practice? The insiders making their name that is? Maybe sensationalizing something they've heard? Would they make something up all together? It would change how I receive info if that's the case.

Well man. It was a rough day. I'll save that for Thursday though. I got home from work a little early today, put on a pair of big boy pants and headed down to the local blood drive at the church. My first time. I was nervous but IMO a phobia is no different than an addiction. I've kicked a few habits in my day and I decided that today I was going to kick the sissy habit. I filled that sucker in under three minutes. Turns out I have a talent for bleeding. The little buzz it gave me was just a bonus! I'm guess I won't have my normal number of beers tonight.

I will call him "Burning Eyes". That is the look that one gets when someone has "flipped the switch". Absolutely needed on the squad. I've liked this guy from day one. He is a jacked up Energizer Bunny.

I admire your commitment to sacrifice. Peace. Bio. I am glad that you have two opportunities. You are one of the most thoughtful posters here. I am confident that you will chose wisely. Good luck!

Thanks man. I've known lots of family and friends that have needed them. This makes me feel a bit guilty though. I have the same blood type and have always wanted to give. I am just a giant sissy when it comes to needles. I was butchered by a nurse with an IV before my spinal surgery and haven't been the same since...How long was the process? I'm inspired now to kick that phobia.

I can honestly say that I've never considered splitting my brew into two secondaries. I brew 5.5 at a time which gives me two cases. I can dry hop in one and finish or do whatever in the other. You've given me a new angle full of new possibilities. Thanks.

No one bladed themselves like Dusty. That dude was all in.

Cody get bought out. Vancouver signs him. He and Zack become best friends.

Now that's what I'm talking about. POW! Right in the kisser. I feel better now.

Please. You must tell what you have carbonating. I am usually "chronologically fugged...up" but I still squeeze my brew time in. Do you go all grain? I have a Vagabond gingered ale in carbonation. Should be ready this weekend. It's a recipe from Joy of Homebrewing... It has malt extract in the recipe. I do all grain if I have the time. All grain isn't any better IMO. Its more about bragging rights I guess. Someday I'd love to malt my own grains. If I still have a liver when I retire. I'll malt baby! I've been sitting on a half case of a dark IPA that is fantastic. I'm trying to save it for a family vacation in July. I've been looking for a good light ale recipe that uses extract. Something less hoppy for my mother in law.

If I wasn't such a reformed man I would go on a face punching spree. We have been having water troubles since we built the house. Well driller was an ass. Someone supplied a bottle of Dasani for the water sample test to approve the well. I heard that straight out of one of the contractors employees mouth. After 6 grand worth of water treatment the mud that comes out of the well was still not suitable for drinking. We got ourselves a lawyer who was pretty confident he had a good case. Then he got cancer and passed. Long story short. Officially ran out of water completely the other day. I took a shower in the friggin lightning storm last night. I've had a plumber at the house all day. Probably going to have to install a storage tank in the basement and truck water in. Every. Single. Week. I want to punch a face so badly right now I may just punch my own...

This would be a dream come true for me. Hockey belongs in Quebec City. Les Nordiques augmentera a nouvea!

Borrowed Tin's skates one time and realized Tin was both coming and going. And Tin pronounced his G's like Forrest...

The T Hip are at CMAC in July. I've been a fan for 25 years. I saw Gordie crawling around the stage retreating from the "big fuggin bear". He was a "chimpanzee" at the aud when someone threw their bra onstage. "I remember, I remember buffalo...and it seems to me I remember every single fuggin thing I know!"

Wears the chicken hat backwards on game day.

I don't mean to be a pill but...I don't see bun claiming there is no God. He seems to me to say that he doesn't need God to tell him to be a good man. Morality can come from many influences like parental intervention, societal need, or even rehabilitation. I'm willing to bet that morality(or the perception of it) gave/gives humans an evolutionary edge. If every human in the history of mankind was only out for himself, would we have the society we have today? I don't mean to undermine your idea that society could devolve into chaos. That would be a symptom of over population,to me, more than a sign of human nature.

I wasn't so self aware last year with the ghost pepper. Too many brews make your bladder full and your mind soft. I learned though. Mother in laws rule every where they go. They have always been the boss and aren't going to stop for anyone. Not sure if you're in this scenario. God bless you if you are. FTR I love my mother in law.

Matt seems like a hell of a guy. I hope he has his after hockey plan ready. Seems like I've been screaming "GD Matt F'n Ellis" at my TV for too many years now.
