That's the one for me, too! We were visiting friends in the Midwest, and I ordered Edmund Fitzgerald by picking it randomly off a chalkboard list. I took one sip and discovered the perfect porter. Before leaving for the east, I looked up on their website where it was sold in northern Indiana, and filled the trunk with…

Got it, thanks!

What about buying a Slingbox and watching your home TV anywhere on any device? That's what we do.

McDonald's coffee is seriously excellent. Just FYI.

But it's a TV show, not real life. The point of her character is to speak to power bluntly; she represents the inevitability of the fall of the lords. The entire show is about manners, and how manners sometimes help, and sometimes hurt. She never asks to be put in the situations, but when she is there she will not go…

I dunno man, maybe he NEEDS to be annoyed. She appears tactless because we've been granted the point of view of the Granthams. But this is a woman who is interested in changing the world, and she won't be put off by big houses and fancy clothes. It can be cringe inducing to watch, but only because we probably wouldn't…

Great car, crackpipe price.

Here it is freaking January 12th and I still have a fridge full of Mad Monk, Christmas-this and St-that, peches and framboises and krieks, because I overbought for the season. There is nothing I would like more than to sit down with something that is just a good beer. But I have to drink all this other stuff first.

This is going to get lost in time. So I'll take a moment to say, nice analogy.

It's spelled "striped", not "stripped". Marons.

There's a picture from a Bears/Steelers game from long ago, Gale Sayers jumping into the line with a huge skid mark in his crack. I wish I knew where to find it. My guess is that this is more common than one might think.

Didn't even bother to read the article. Nice Price, one of the nicest in a long time.

500 bucks.

I've been in the car business almost 30 years. This is pretty accurate.

Regarding the Benz: 1) New Jersey. 2) "A retail certification prep fee is added for customers who click the BUY IT NOW option. This mandatory fee is $1895.00 and consists of a full detail, comprehensive safety inspection, and a limited warranty when applicable (call us at 973-998-7677 to discuss this fee)." 3)…

In the late '80s I was selling Nissans. Four or five times a month we'd get customers trying to trade their almost new Yugos for Sentras. We didn't want the Yugos; you couldn't even auction them. A $4000 Yugo with 52k miles was worth about $1500 in 1987.

I agree. Try River of Darkness instead, about Francisco Orellano sailing the length of the Amazon in the 1500s. It's an astonishing read.

I've read about half that list. You have good taste in books. Conquistador is awesome. River of Darkness (same author) is also killer. For War, Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors. It is great. Both books fit everything you have listed in your requirements, except there are no assassins in Last Stand.

This car is a worthless piece of crap. It is a waste of a Corvette, a waste of a VW TDI engine, and a waste of a Toyota truck transmission. I would charge $100 to haul it away, and probably lose money at that.

Yep. But I love the Smuttynose Robust Porter. If I were to recommend one of their brews, it would be that one. For me, the brewery that keeps falling short is Brooklyn Brewery. tremendous respect for Garrett Oliver, but our tastes just don't agree with each other.
