I would kill to go back in time an see Frank Zappa live. Saw Queen live. I was 8 and fell asleep while fireworks were going off above the outdoor stadium during an encore of Bohemian Rhapsody. What can I say, I'm a sound sleeper!

Oh, I know, and, even if he does win, the likelihood of him serving any of his term is low, but none of this means that he won't win. People will still vote for him because they either see the journalists as "the enemy," like our president or would rather vote for him than a Democrat. Hell, this might actually…

“You’ll see—there’s a reason why we call him DJ.”

This is just going to make it all the more depressing when he wins.

I'm headed to LongLive this week, hopefully, so we'll see.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

Well, I live in Newport, so a little over an hour. Hasn't been a problem yet, but I seriously doubt I would be the first person in history to pee myself on a RIPTA bus.

Yeah, RIPTA sucks! The only benefit is that I don't have to worry about how much I've had to drink before getting on the bus.

Trinity Brew Pub. I try to support my local brewer and the atmosphere there is better than Union Station, which I end up at if I've got time to kill waiting for the bus late at night since it's right across the street. I'm trying to branch out, though. I picked up one of those RI beer passports and am going to try…

"Take Campanology Brewing’s Adventurous Stranger Coffee Kölsch, which steeps for 17 hours in Colombian cold-brew coffee and takes on a touch of hazelnut before being bottled"

Yeah, that confused me too, enough to where I got curious and looked it up. No part of the beer is steeped in cold-brew coffee. From Trader Joe's website:
"Columbian
cold brew coffee imparts an aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans that
jumps out of the glass. The coffee is steeped for 17 hours, maximizing
coffee…

I find the difference to be pretty noticeable, and I'm not pretending to be a super-taster or anything. I won't try to get all pedantic on you, but if you're curious, it might be a fun experiment to try and find one of the ones from Cologne that the article mentions, like Reissdorf or Gaffel, and try it side by side…

Close. It was in Providence, Ri.

Yeah, but you get dirty looks at the bar if you order a kolsch in Dusseldorf. Also, you can get an alt beer in at least one bar in Cologne (at least the last time I was there) but, again, I got dirty looks from the locals and could hear them making fun of me.

Summary of my comment above: I once saw a sign at a brewery advertising their kolsch-style alt beer. My dad and I thought it was hilarious.

I once got in an argument with a bartender at a brew pub in the Northeast over their offering of a kolsch-style alt beer. I asked what they meant by that and he just talked down to me saying that it was self-explanatory. I tried to point out that they were different styles of beer from rival German cities, both of…

Talk like an douche: “You haven’t had a Kölsch until you’ve had one in Cologne.

Oh, I didn't mean just on planes, I meant in general.

Babies should not be allowed. Full stop.

You know that look well, don't you Aranaktu? You have seen it on the faces of the children being fed you you by the rainbow clouds. (I just got the reference to your avatar; knew I'd seen it somewhere before.)
