I actually saw something similar to that in Madison, Wisconsin. Considering that Wisconsin was a Union state during the war, that seemed weird to me, but then I thought maybe a veteran had moved North some time after the war. I suppose a lot of veterans did go out West as well.

Yer a wizard, Obi.

No love for The Final Frontier? Shatner's a genius, I tell ya! And it really forces the viewer to reckon with the really tough questions about life and the universe. After all, what does god need with a star ship?

If the idea is the addition of smoke flavor, why not just use actually-smoked mozz instead?

That would bring in so much money.

Ideas for new statues in the South:

Here's the thing, in terms of pure aesthetics, they may be legitimately nice-looking statues. In that sense they may have real artistic value. But perhaps we should replace them with "beautiful" statues of people who didn't betray their country and fight a very bloody war to protect slavery.

Aside from the whole treason thing.

And he wasn't really all that successful. There was a lot of "guerrilla war" violence during Reconstruction. That's basically what the KKK started as.

And here I thought that Trump hated losers.

Christ, I'm getting old. Where's the goddamn booze when you need it? I'll tell you where it isn't, though. It's definitely not fucking here at my desk!

I just can't believe all the winning that's going on here.

Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, "Would an evil person do that?" And if they would, I do not do that thing.

Oh they had it. We just thought the larger bottles like that (and also the Belgian Red) would be a bit much for the party. Might need to run out for those another time though.

My wife and I are throwing a "Farewell to Summer" party in a couple weeks (yes, we know that summer will continue for nearly a month longer), and we made a run across the Minnesota-Wisconsin border to stock up on New Glarus for the party. Spotted Cow, Moon Man, Dancing Man, Two Women, Raspberry Sour, Cherry Stout, and…

Not only is it delicious, it is also a great way to gauge the quality of whatever establishment you might be patronizing. If the bartender makes a legitimate Tom Collins, they know their stuff.

I'm not sure I've ever had a bad doppelbock. I've never tried Celebrator, but Salvator and Optimator are two of my favorite beers.

I'm a Tom Collins partisan myself. Let's get `im, boys!
