Taste is of course individually relevant. I do like their beer alot, but coming from a local I think they are a bit overrated. Also I think their labels are stupid except for the Dead Guy.

If you lived in a civilized area, grocery stores would just sell liquor too  Speaking of which, my favorite local store (massive selection of wines, beers, and liquors; great potato and pasta salads; second best Soppressata; and the only place I can find crab cakes with real crab) has started doing beer tastings every Friday. If they weren't already my favorite store, that would have been enough. How I discovered the Resin, actually. Also it's where I'm gonna be after work tomorrow

Have I ever mentioned the time I chugged an entire bottle of champagne through a vuvuzela? Let me see if I can find the video. edit: if you don't at least like Rogue Dead Guy Ale, you're not human. Shakespeare Stout and Old Crustacean Barleywine are also awesome.

I have a bachelor dilemma. It's laundry day, so I have gone and washed all the clothes I wore this week, including the ones I was wearing. Kicking around naked drinking cheap beer while it washes is great, and not my dilemma. My problem comes when the wash cycle finishes. I don't have a clothes dryer, but there is one opposite my place, I have my coins ready to go... but I don't have any unwashed clothes to put on. I haven't showered yet, so I don't really want to put on new clothes, especially not just to walk across the road. Do you think it would be appropriate to wrap myself in a beach towel to wander over and put my clothes on to dry?

AH I did think of that, but it's miserably rainy/too humid for tomorrow's work clothes to be dry in time, otherwise I'd have a non issue on my hands. My current approach is have another beer and the solution will present itself. I like this approach very much. As an aside, for lunch I felt like having garlic bread and blue cheese, so I did, and I regret nothing.

I've actually done a cost comparison and you're best off either getting the actual head of iceburg yourself or getting a full box of spring mix. You want to look at per ounce cost then factor in your total weight. The bagged romaine/iceburg mix is usually about 12 cents more per ounce than even the 'super expensive' box of mixed organic leaf. \/\/\/ Ask one of the guys stocking produce what days they get their truck in. Go late in the day of and check the back of the stack. MC Hawking fucked around with this message at Jul 13, 2012 around 04:23 |

Full box of spring mix goes bad too soon though, that's like 3 monster salad's worth and it starts going bad about 6 minutes before you buy it. It seems like it's often a crapshoot whether it'll be slime by dinnertime tomorrow. Grocery store spring mix is so fragile, why did it always last so much longer when I worked foodservice?

John Wayne toilet paper (and even worse, the kind that tears so easily you might as well just go ahead and use your hand) is the worst thing ever. Also, I generally just blow my nose out the window, but I live mostly in the woods. Birds and squirrels crap out there, a little nose blowing isn't going to make things worse.

Spinach, feta cheese, carrots, fresh cucumber, red onion, some mushroom, homemade vinaigrette. 15 minutes tops, pretty good side salad. Does well in the fridge, too. (and impresses the ladies).

(and impresses the ladies). Only put the vinaigrette on when you are serving, or your spinach will wilt. I know many of us will already know this, but some may not. Similar: Spinach, blueberries, mandarin orange slices, red onion, goat feta and raspberry vinaigrette. Excellent salad, impresses all manner of people. (Not too much onion though.) Edit: The bachelor poo poo thread: some of us eat vegetables. But only some of us.

Speaking of pickles, which are loving awesome, a Polish kid working here in the US told me that they take shots of vodka and then take a bite of a pickle. Kind of interesting, but I usually buy the really cheap vodka that would make you throw up if you drank it without a mixeer. Gotta try this with some Absolut or Ketel One sometime I guess. edit: Oh and speaking of condiments, I just remembered a bachelor thing. Seven Eleven has pizza slices for a dollar. Want condiments? They're at the hotdog counter, load up! That goes for sandwiches too. You can buy a with everything sub OR buy one with just turkey and cheese and then hit the hot dog condiments station. There' onions, hot peppers, tomato, salsa, ketchup, etc and you save a buck or two. chiz fucked around with this message at Jul 13, 2012 around 05:03 |

There's a new beer store downtown that a friend of mine has been promoting, so I stopped by today and I think I'm in love. Got a six pack of Ace cider, and another six of Hell or High Watermelon beer. Then I had steak for dinner, and picked up some pastries at the Chinese bakery. It's a good night. Ugly In The Morning posted:It's not so bad. I ring up my groceries, walk through an arch, grab my booze, ring that up. Same hours, same building, but they have to be a "different storefront". Do all of your grocery stores have hours? I do most of my shopping between midnight and 2am at one of the many 24-hour stores in the area, and only need to make one transaction to get my groceries and liquor. Any later than 2am and they won't sell you booze, though.

Apparently, pickle juice as a hangover cure is a Polish thing. I had been drinking pickle juice for hangovers for about 3 years by the time I learned that it was actually a thing. I'm not even polish, I just love pickle juice, and one morning, I figured that all the brine and vinegar were sorta like electrolytes, took a big swift, and felt great. Also, what's with all the Rogue hate? I don't really drink it that much, but it's never seemed particularly offensive to me. Not AMAZING and maybe a little expensive for what it is, but dead guy isn't bad. And yes, I understand that my tastes should probably be called into question after the first part of this post. And another thing, since someone brought up barleywine. A lot of my friends hate on it and say it's too sweet. I like it though, mostly because it tends to have a higher abv and gets me hosed up. Actually, come to think of it, I've noticed a lot of my friends hating on any beer that isn't an IPA or a boring old lager. Should I get new friends?

Ok guys/girls, shifting gears a little, who do you like for bachelor comedians? My go-to is Louis CK (patron saint of bachelors?) and then I run through Chris Rock et al, but does anyone have any other suggestions? and gently caress.

Louis CK is probably the funniest comedian I have ever bothered watching. I just recently saw that his television show is on Netflix and I've been watching it, though the first one I ever saw was the one with the suicidal friend so I guess I wasn't doing it right? And yeah, if you can't get to sleep then you might as well have another drink. That's what I've been doing for the past couple hours.
