4. not to hijack my own thread, but speaking of beer
has anyone out there ever tried (yes, I am a classy guy:) "the Three Stooges Beer"? My little brother was in town last night, so I stopped to pick up a 12 pack on the way home from a date so my bro. and I could drink while watching the Perseids last night. So anyways, I stop into my local package store, and they have cases of bottles for 10.79 (unheard of in Boston)! Upon further inspection, they turn out to have little pics of Larry, Curly, and Moe on the bottle caps, and pics. of the stooges on the bottles. I wasn't expecting it to be good, but thought "hey, this is funny, and my little brother isn't even of age yet, so he won't know what good beer is". FYI, it was horrible, woke up with a hangover even though I had about a third of what I normally drink, and all day it has felt like a bunch of sea anenomes are trying to have an orgy in my stomach. Stay away from this swill DUers, it is not worth it!:)

8. glad to see I"m not the only one who got duped by
pics of the Stooges:) Today, I even considered something I once thought unthinkable: Giving away beer. But then I decided to just keep it for those times when someone stops by and I really don't want to offer them my "good" beer:)

10. I've heard the headaches from that are like
"hosting a transsexual knife fight in your skull". I didn't drink enough of it to learn first hand though.

That a good description? Cheap beer hangovers make me feel like I have a roller derby going on behind my eyes.

2. Nine months after the last big black out there was an increase in births
Some people who have time on their hands learn to make friends of their stuckee elevator mates I guess.

3. yeah, it means they couldn't pull the same
shit in California again, so they aim at the east coast.
California is wise to the plan.

5. Entergy was holding us hostage last week
Our city has its own utility system, which purchases electricity from the big boys and resells it to us. They were told by Entergy last week that either they turn on their emergency generators to generate some auxillary power (which we didn't need because for some reason its been cooler here this time of year than normal), or they were going to brownout or blackout the city.
