Hanson - They're Cooler than you Think

From the brothers who brought you that annoyingly catchy song "MMMBop" comes the beer "MmmHops".

Re: Animal Rights

Not completely related to your question, but somewhat so... We have a friend who is a pretty accomplished hunter. Last year he posted something on Facebook about butchering deer meat and I expressed interest in helping in any future butchering. He sent me a message a few days ago to let me know that...

Re: Your most epic after-hours at the bar

That is quite an epic story with pics to suit. Steve and I were permitted to hang along with the crew for a bit at our local karaoke joint once, but that was pretty tame by comparison. The most memorable after-hours moment for me was my first day as a waitress at a private restaurant. I was 17 (I re...

Re: purchased some milk thistle yesterday...

I would never use mint as a sub for cilantro. That'd be like using some inappropriate booze for an appropriate booze. Or something. Anyhoo - to each his own - carry on. Oh, not just for any old reason, but only in guacamole. I agree that mint is not a blanket substitute for cilantro, but in the cas...

Re: purchased some milk thistle yesterday...

I am with Savage, coriander (as "cilantro" is known everywhere else in the World) is horrendous. May I nitpick with the good Doctor? Coriander is actually the seed of the cilantro leaf. And cilantro is mandatory in Mexican cooking. It is delightful! My sister and I had this argument. She said they ...

Re: OMG Mad magazine still exists

My brother and I used to love Mad (Cracked as well, but Cracked was the Glamour to Mad's Cosmo as, if you will.in my opinion Cracked was the Creem to Mad's Hit Parader). My son discovered Mad a few years ago. He loves it too. Every once in a while he clearly doesn't get the jokes, but that may be fo...

Re: Breakfast drinks

I usually go for the Mimosa option and enjoy the Poinsettia as an alternative as well. I've tried to like a Bloody Mary, but it's too much like cold, heavy soup for me in the morning. A local restaurant recently introduced me to the "Man-mosa" which I very much enjoyed: 1 ounce Stoli Orange 4 ounces...

Re: Boycott Labatt's ... Beer's full of scabs

The only reason I'm making decent money, decent work van and health insurance for the first time in my life is because the company I work for is a non-union branch of a union sprinkler company. Best job I have ever had in my life. Ok, I probably could have made a better choice of a career but Dammi...

Re: Boycott Labatt's ... Beer's full of scabs

http://drunkard.com/issues/07_03/07-03-faded-glory.htm Umm - okay, if you don't like your employer's policy to not drink on the job (not a law against that), work for someone else or start your own company and drink at will. But, you still don't have a case against an employer firing people for dri...

Re: Scary Shit

So you didn't know the 'jackass' who tried to commit suicide then? No, I did not. I was (and guess still am) admittedly bitter about the fact that my medical intervention had to wait for a person who put himself in that position. My point is, that he was obviously in pain for the medical interventi...

Re: Scary Shit

"AT FIRST, DO NO HARM..." Harm is allowing the patient to die. A bit of pain to prevent death, does not go against the Hippocratic Oath. A needle hurts too, bit if it saves a life, it's the best choice. Like I said, I withstood almost the exact same procedure at 7 years old to ensure my safety (may...

Re: Scary Shit

The issue is the force feeding of people who are voluntarily on a hunger strike. It's not simply a matter of preventing "patients" from starving; it's a matter of force being used to stifle and prevent a protest. This shit is comparable to rape. Yes, just as the issue might be that a physician migh...
