Fuck zombies, you hear me Aaron? Fuck ‘em! The time of the werewolf has come. Although those super fast 28 Days zombies are pretty fucking scary.

I enjoyed some frosty cold Spaten Ocktoberfest just the other weekend in Fredericksburg. Good stuff.

Oh, but look: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3512/3467922815_8210b13c83.jpg It’s pretty AND delish! Also, that broken beer bottle business rarely works properly. You’re better off hitting someone with a chair or a dustbuster. I’m just sayin….

Cans also have the benefits of being cheaper to ship (with a lower carbon footprint), more shelf space efficient (and hence easier to cool, again less energy use), quicker to cool when purchased at room temp, and easier to recycle.

They really are the superior format, and the only things that have prevented their takeover are the high cost of packaging equipment vs bottling until very recently, and a big chunk of (somewhat deserved) snobbery in the marketplace about the caliber of beer that has historically been canned. I do wonder about the potential of “bottle conditioning” in cans and if the format would interfere with that, as far as I know nobody has really brought such a thing to market.

But put me down for the stubby, stout dwarven option any day.

ONE PROBLEM: Cans make lousy improvised weapons in a bar fight. Do you really wanna go up against a tweaking biker with a broken beer bottle in hand vs your eco-friendly, technologically superior tube of aluminum when the day comes? I submit sir, that you do not.

SOLUTION: Drink only tequila in those sorts of bars, straight from the bottle. Larger bottle = better reach and more damage.

Unlike people, a beer’s true beauty is on the inside. And I must say, thanks to you and Brandon, Dale’s is now one of my favorites.

Well alrighty then… hard to argue with our position on beer… ever think about writing a book about beer, or anything for that matter… you’re just to creative, and funny… subscribed to this feed or blog or whatever it is… made my day when I found it…

Comment on Sunshine in a can by Wrenae

Ok… sunshine in a can… I’d rather have it in a bottle… this would be tantamount to putting liquor in plastic containers vs. glass bottles… what have I been drinking this summer… not enough ! To think in my early year – Coors was all the rage… one had to transport it from Colorado and other states because it was not sold in Texas… watching a case of two of Coors appear in baggage claim… no matter who you were… you were admired and sometimes followed… trails of drool could be found trailing those who followed the Coors… now Coors takes its rightful place with Bud, Bud Lite and other almost pale yellow bubbly liquids…

My Warehouse 13 experience is exactly opposite of Tara’s. I don’t really look forward to watching it, and I tend to wait around a while before I finally load one up on the ol’ DVR (consequently, I am always at least two weeks behind), but I enjoy the show pretty well while watching it.

Eureka, on the other hand, I love. Tara is right; even though it’s really pretty dumb, its charm totally sells me. I very much look forward to that show. I sometimes even watch it live!
