Who gets the last word in?

If your prediction comes true, and my prediction comes true, then you will forever be known as that guy who destroyed the internet.

Are you willing to assume such responsibility?
 
It took over 3 weeks for a response? Seriously? Just give up people, you're slipping.
Actually, it took me a lot more that 3 weeks:)

Yeah, you just signed up. Let's see if you have staying power. Lots of people said they'd get the last word over the years, but I've been here since the beginning, and I'll be here until the end.
Ah, but how do you define staying power?
 
Hey, if you are still here in a couple of years, props to you. It's just that I've seen a lot of people come for a few months, claim they'll outlast us all, and then never be heard from again. The test of time is the only test that really counts.
 
In addition to being a metalhead, I am also a homebrewer. A year ago, I brewed a stout that had neapolitan ice cream flavors (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry), which won a gold medal last May. A local liquor store combined with a local brewery combined forces to convert my 5 gallon recipe into a 16.5 hectoliter batch a few weeks ago, and as of this morning it is on the store shelves.

Here's a few pics of the process and final product:
