those same people are the ones who would gladly vote for a dingus like the one in power now.

as a lark in high school, a buddy and I had a gentleman's bet on who could find the most absurd premise for a porn setup.

I actively cringed at that one. well played

yeah, this is one of those cases where if you look into the details, the PR spin machine did a great job of making it seem like she's the one at fault due to a culture of petty lawsuits and stuff, at a glance.

I keep saying I'll get around to it eventually, but come on. I still haven't finished Ocarina of Time on my 3DS.

using a really big catapult and / or trebuchet, right?

I'll vouch for Zen Arcade. my eternal thanks to whoever at the local library slipped that in the collection alongside everything else.

I'm sure I've had a bunch of them, but I've one of the most popular ones in Canada is so toothless, I think I half associate it with a flavour profile on par with modest mass market lager (seriously!)

Ah yes, The Beer Store! It's basically one of the two widespread monopolistic institutions that control alcohol sales in the province.

I can barely handle the painful conversations I end up stuck in with the local barflies / town drunks while awkwardly looking for a way to cleanly extricate myself.

my old roommate works for Nickelbrook, and his former partner is a brewmaster at a little place in Toronto called the Folly Brewpub. She makes a killer saison (and likely a zillion other things I haven't tried, given that I'm not down in the city very often)

it sucks. from what I understand, literally everywhere else does it differently (and more sensibly).

do you have any insight on how to properly pour Guinness from a can? I prefer it on tap (when the lines are clean and the keg is fresh), but I'm too much of a slacker to justify exorbitant expenditures on booze these days.

I don't know what an IBU chart is, but this amuses me nonetheless.

I don't get why people don't like IPAs? is it just the over-profileration and weaponization of hops, in some kind of arms race of one-upsmanship?

if you're up here again, I should ask my brewer friends what might constitute a good sample? there's been a relative explosion of craft breweries all across Canada (and a ton of them in Ontario), so it's not like we're lacking for options…

yeeeeeeep. used to get moderately sauced at an all night Korean place on Bloor St in Toronto with a good friend.

yeah, the central nervous system generally hates any combination of stimulants and depressants. it can make an otherwise healthy person's heart stop, and the threshold is likely different for everyone?

shortest elevator pitch ever?

I honestly can't wait for him to die. it can't happen fast enough.
