Last night I went to some ugly bithes sweet sixteen. I think that it's an idiotic tradition that celebrates nothing particularly great. What's good about turning 16, you already have reached puberty, you can't drive yet (in NJ), you can't buy cigs or alcohol, you can't join the army, you can't be declared an adult, and you can't drop out of school. Anyway, I normally wouldn't be rude enough to show up at a party, that I was invited, drunk with a persons family there, but it was Saturday and Cinco De Mayo so I decided to go wasted. Anyway I get there I'm drunk, but after 3 hours I started to sober up. So I walk to the bathroom to piss and I notice an open bar with nobody in it. I walk in and take a few swigs or Jack and ditch the area in fear of getting caught. Well soon after I was back at the bar finishing up some Captin Morgans. At this point I was wasted. I'm hitting on every chick there taking in no consideration for boyfriends or ugliness. After making out with two chicks (pretty ugly ones if I remember correctly) and I go back to the open bar. The bar had been pitch black previously, but now as I walked in the lights were on. At this point I'm to drunk to realize that someone who wroked at the place had noticed that somone had been riading it. So I pop open two beers and chug em and then some lady comes. She yells at me and says she is going to call the cops. I giggle a little then take off through the back door. To cut the story short I ran ten miles home wasted. And I'm not sure how I did it, but from the bloody sheets I woke up in this morning it def. wasn't a safe path that I took. Oh and my friend said that I made out with a lesbian yesterday as well.

Fucking classic! You need to write a song about it

They can't expect us to die for our country if we can't shoot our neighbors when we get back home.

I kind of like my neighbors... They are pretty nice to me...

Another uplifting story of hope and redemption from Dazed and Brutal.

Last night I picked up a Sam Adams variety pack featuring 6 different beers. I guess the Honey Porter was the best one, but overall I don't find Sam Adams beers to be that great. The Bostonians here might disagree.

By my own count I've had 99 different beers, so I should get a really good one for number 100. Any suggestions?

Sam Adams Boston Lager fucking owns you. I don't know about that honey porter shit. Fuck putting gay flavors in beer. Get yourself acquainted with the Reinheitsgebot, bitch.

I'm not familiar with this Reinheitsgebot of which you speak. I'll have to see if it's available here. I do have a good liquor store in the area, so there's plenty of micros/imports.

The SA box had:
Boston Lager
Boston Ale
Black Lager
Scotch Lager
Brown Ale
Honey Porter

Anytime you can get six different beers for $12, it's worth a try.
I've also had SA White Ale, which is quite good, and Cherry Wheat, which is a bit on the girly side.


I highly recommend anything from Ommegang. Rare Vos is excellent.

No no no, my friend. This is the Reinheitsgebot.

I'm one of those rare people that actually appreciates and supports the good ol' Reinheitsgebot.

Ah, I misunderstood. I do like a good pilsner, but I'm also partial to wheat beers on occasion as well.

I do enjoy myself a nice hefeweizen from time to time.

Franziskaner (made by Spaten) is a fine example of the style, but good luck getting a real fresh one.

Actually, Franziskaner is the one I drink most often because it's not too hard to find around here if you search a little bit. I was fortunate enough to be in Frankfurt a couple years ago during the Waldchestag fest and got to imbibe some extremely fine hefeweizens. That was some of the best shit I've ever had.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Yeah, it's not too hard to find, but the last few times I've had it it's been less than fresh. The Franziskaner Dunkel is also pretty enjoyable.

Recently I had Sprecher Hefe Weiss, which was misleading. It's from Wisconsin, and was totally forgettable.

I was surprised to find out that Trumer Pils was an American beer. A fine pilsner.

Dazed wins five points for the awesome drunkenness story

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Sam Adams is REAL beer, of course its good.

Something English, obviously.

Well I'm pretty excited today. I got a Yak bell.

For those of you who don't know what a Yak is, it's a cowlike animal found in the Tibetan mountains, used for herding and travel over the course of time.

I love the sounds of the bells they have around their necks (it's totally Negura Bunget by the way, anyone who's listened properly to "Primul Om" will know what I'm talking about).

So anyhow, I love the sound these bells make. A dull-ish sound, but one which sounds old, ancient. You can imagine a cold mountainside, covered in fog, with a yak walking up it, on an old dirt road, no other life around.

So anyway, I love my yak bell. PS - I hang it with red ribbon, as red is a symbolic colour in Buddhism, the sound is a peaceful one, so I thought it fitting to use a colour from such a peaceful teaching faith.

post soundclips!

ROFL I was just thinking that actually! I'll put one up tomorrow (it's very late here, and if I walk around the house shaking this thing I'm going to really piss people off).
