Congrats on being new here.

Fuck Jed York with a lit stick of dynamite.



Because otherwise, he might actually enjoy it.

“Hey, if everybody is pissed at me, I must be doing something right.

Terrible calls for everyone!”

Try not to remind people of that, would you?

Thumbs up for the Port City nod.

And now he’s proper fucked.

A great deal changes. No, they aren’t going to be on TV the same amount. Not even close. They barely show second tier teams on English TV. Certainly not overseas. No the players aren’t mostly going to be the same. Relegation means a cap on how much a team can pay players AND losing between 65-98 GBP million-ish, which…

The Phillies aren’t in last only because of the rolling, flaming, no-brake-having shit-show that is the Marlins. The entire NL East should buy Jeff Loria a lifetime membership to the ballclub owners association. He makes the rest of the division look like goddamn geniuses by comparison.

That aside, I love some Philly…

So the Joint Chiefs of Staff aren’t some kind of Hall-of-Fame All-Star team. They are the four service chiefs plus the Chairman. Hence the name. Joint (all the branches) Chiefs (the service chiefs of those branches) of Staff.

On a lighter note, here’s one for everyone. There’s really only two branches of the military:…

Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.

If I’m ever out that way, I know where to go.

What’s the name? My wife’s aunt lives in Indy and I’d love to try it next time we visit.

That’s a shame because those are some of my favorites in the world. It’s truly impressive how much flavor they pack in to a 4-4.5% ABV beer. Many American brewers making session beers could learn something; you can make a session beer that a) isn’t an IPA or lager and b) doesn’t taste and feel like a watered down…

That’s a perfect description of Newcastle now. There was also a robust nutty quality that’s now lacking. I’ve got a soft spot for the regular Amstel (NOT the light) in a tall-boy. Not that I can get that in the States, either.

I’m ambivalent. I love English ales. I was a card-carrying CAMRA member while stationed there. I love them for their malt-forward nature and their subtle hopping. But I’m hesitant to try them from a Heineken brand. I don’t think Newcastle of today tastes the same as it did before Heineken bought them out. I’d rather…

We will tell you what, exactly, “it” is. “It”, once identified, shall not be deviated from on penalty of...well, use your imagination. Then realize it will be worse than that.

I was always the broke roommate.

Your college failed you. #7 was a regular go-to hangover helper. Rip-roaring hot shower and a cold as fuck can of whatever was left in the fridge.

Damn. Their ESB was the tits.
