Starting a page with just the word "Nope." seemed overly cryptic.

No - I assumed that you found "A Void". In fact I had complete trust that you would do so.

*Does this mean that you didn't?*

I was whispering so that LT wouldn't hear.

I am shocked (and just a little bit dismayed / saddened) that nobody asked ...

Super Bowl???
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Flying Fish HopFish.

Went very well with the wings and nachos.

Right - I didn't. But it's there, and it'll crop up in the next couple days. My shirt design is coming along well, though - I'll show you before I send it on. I based it on the line "a curving concavity of nothing".

Sorry - busy. I like your choices better than mine for the Superbowl. I had Dogfish Head Raison d'Etre. I like the beer, but it didn't go well with the pizza. I was dying for something hoppier...

Speaking of Dogfish Head - A clean well hopped brown ale with aromatic barley, carmelized brown sugar and whole-leaf Liberty and Goldings hops.

In all honesty, DFH's core brews (Shelter Pale Ale, Indian Brown, Chickory Stout) aren't that hoppy.

I can't wait for this to get into botttles:

Lawnmower Light
Availability: Year-Round, Draft-Only, Limited Distribution


Lawnmower Light is our intro beer for those who need a little help jumping feet first into the crazy world of beer that is Dogfish Head beer.

It's a starter beer, but it's not dumbed down. Lawnmower is made with quality ingredients and is a great thirst quencher - perfect to enjoy after a day in the sun mowing the lawn (or anything else that gets you hot and bothered)!

Lawnmower Light is available on tap at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and Dogfish Head Alehouse in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

You're right. I always found Indian Brown Ale to be a bit of a misnomer. And the truth is, with 60 and 90-Minute right there next to them on the shelves, what's the point? I did like Chicory Stout, though - Lisa brought one back from Maine last year, along with their Pumpkin beer. Good stuff.

One of each. She brought back about 8 singles - I forget which others. There's nothing quite so profoundly bittersweet as taking the last sip of a beer you know you won't be having again anytime soon......

'I weep for you,' the Walrus said:
'I deeply sympathize.'
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

'O Oysters,' said the Carpenter,
'You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none --
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one."

Don't overwork it ...

I got this idea in the car Friday morning, and had it done before my coffee was cold:

"It emerged from my hand fully grown."

As far as I know, there is no correlation to "-handed-ness" ...

I know lefties who skate regular; I'm rightie and I surf/skate goofy.

Episode #59 - The Implant

Opening scene - Sidra on a Stairmaster at the New York Health Club. Jerry enters after his workout w/gymbag in hand.

SIDRA: Oh, hi Jerry.

JERRY: Hi, Sidra. I usually last about ten minutes on a Stairmaster. Unless of course there's someone stretching in front of me in a leotard, then I can go an hour.

SIDRA (amused): Really.

JERRY: Oh, yeah. That's why they call it a Stairmaster. You get up there and you stare.

SIDRA (stepping off): Well, I'm done. I think I'm gonna go take a sauna.

JERRY: Alright, I'll see you Thursday night, right?

SIDRA: Thursday night.

JERRY: Alright.

Elaine walks over to Jerry.

ELAINE: Good workout?

JERRY (mimics smoking an "after sex cigarette"): Tremendous workout.

ELAINE: That's a pretty girl.

JERRY: Tremendous girl.

ELAINE: She's the one you went out with last night?

JERRY: Yeah. I really like her.

ELAINE: You know, uh...they're fake.

JERRY: What? Don't say that!

ELAINE: Nah! They're fake!

JERRY: How do you know?

ELAINE: I can tell. You know how you're always bragging how you can spot a lesbian?

JERRY: I'm not bragging, I happen to have a very keen lesbian eye. <A woman walks by Jerry and Elaine.> Hi, how ya doin.' <Jerry jerks a thumb at the woman to confirm his talent. Elaine is skeptical.>

ELAINE: Oh, right. C'mon, don't you think they seem a bit too perfect?

JERRY: Yes, they do!

ELAINE: I never knew you were so into breasts. I thought you were a leg man.

JERRY: A leg man? Why would I be a leg man? I don't need legs. I have legs. Have you ever seen her naked in the locker room?

ELAINE: No.

JERRY: Oh, well, then I can't accept your testimony. Maybe if you had seen her naked.

ELAINE: I don't want to see her naked.

JERRY: Well, I do.

ELAINE: Well, that's your problem.

JERRY: Look, you made the allegation. The least you could do is follow up.

ELAINE: Jerry, what am I gonna do? I'm gonna go in there and spy on her in the sauna?

JERRY: Yes! Go in there! Do a little investigative journalism. I need to know!

ELAINE: But a few more dates and you can find out for yourself!

JERRY: Don't be so sure. Look at George - he's on his ninth date with Betsy, he still hasn't gotten anywhere with her.

ELAINE: What's his problem?

JERRY: Well, every time he tries to make a move, something screws up. Like on their last date, they were on the couch, but she was sitting on his wrong side.

ELAINE: Wrong side?

JERRY: Yeah, she was on his right side. He can't make a move with his left hand. Can't go left.

ELAINE: He can't go left.

JERRY: No! I'm lefty, can't go right. What about women? Do they go left or right?

ELAINE: Nah, we just play defense.

Brilliant! Lisa has been slowly buying me every season on DVD. I'm not usually one of those TV-show-DVD-collecting types, but I am loving my Seinfeld discs. What's really great is that I'm getting to see episodes that for some reason they just don't show in re-runs any more. Do you know what I mean? There's this big block of Seinfelds I've seen so many times I have them completely memorized because they're always on, and then there are these mysterious bizarro episodes I've only ever seen once or never. Why don't they show ever air them any more?

Please forgive my delinquency, and being late as well.

quote:
HopFish India Pale Ale
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there's a floral and citrus hop finish. It's then lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor. The beer features a combination of American, English and German malts to balance the large amount of hops. The HopFish also uses three hop varieties at five different times and has been dry-hopped for two weeks with 18lbs of Nugget whole leaf hops.

Malts: Two-row pale, English Medium Crystal, and Munich
Hops: Magnum, Nugget, Ahtahnum
Yeast: English Ale
Original Gravity: 15 plato
Alcohol by volume: 6.2%
Formats: 12 oz. bottles, 1/2 kegs, 1/6 kegs, cask-conditioned
Availability: Year round (yay!!!)

Food pairings: As a pre-dinner drink (hops are a great appetite stimulant), heartier fare, spicy foods, pizza, pub grub.


Oh, it's good. It's real good ... It may have passed by HopDevil, in fact, as it's just a smidge lighter, drier. I had been passing up the Flying Fish Pale Ale and ESB, of late. Kind of like the Harp/Bass conundrum - I don't like one of them, but I forget which, so I avoid them both.

It's at the same price point as BFaith ($6.99) but dosen't have those catchy sayings underneath the cap. Since I think I may have all of them (but, you never know) I may wean myself off of the Magic Hat, and return to my Jersey roots.

Completely inexcusable.
Man, I'm busy as hell right now. Nothing worse than coming to work and not having time to fool around on blogs, you know?
Me, I have a Pyramid Thunderhead IPA waiting at home. Probably not in the same league as your flying fish stuff, but pleasantly passable. IPA really is my favorite beer style, I think.
A'ight. See you tomorrow....
