Now, granted, there have been times when, after all was said and done, I've had a dry throat (from all the excitement, deep breathing and panting); but that's not what I was getting from this.

See, I think I did write "liquid sex for your mouth", but then erased it during a brief moment of clarity. Doesn't this all boil down to the fact that this is, without a doubt, a beer worth having a go at?

Look, it's like this ... It's got nothing to do with the $$$. It's about expectations.When I hear Van Halen, I expect David Lee Roth. When I drive a Beetle, I expect a teeny engine in the back. When I drink a Belgian, I expect a cork on the bottle. Sammy Hagar, the New Beetles, and Golden Monkey are fine, but they just miss the mark of the original. Not that they are substandard in any way, but all things being equal ... I can get 66 oz (3-22's) of Ommengang for a six pack of GoldMonkey.

You know, I love corks as much as the next person - behind every POP stirs the crackling echoes of a thousand brief but lascivious romances and all that crap. But I hear a lot of high-end wine producers are switching from corks to caps because they increase the stability and longevity of the wine?

Wait a minute, you can't say it doesn't live up to the original if you haven't tried it! Am I just beating a dead-horse now?

Then you went and F'd it all up. String a few like the first part together, leave out the second part and before you know it, you're there. That's how I wrote the BBChocoStout story. Every time I remembered a part of the tale, I would figure out the best way to write it, jotted or typed it out and saved that part. When I got everything I needed, I just stitched it all up. That's the way Mr. Earbrass wrote HIS novel.

You're not one of those tempermental artists that, once they create a really great piece, has to pee on it, or paint over it or take the manuscript and put it in the shredder, are you???

No, but it's always real, real tempting.

Enough already - basta - it's 5 minutes into the week-endMM - go in a corner with a Yellow Monkey and stop reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez Randy - into yours with a Brooklyn Chocolate - go get your Vonnegut novel out and find a VW van to read it in I'm going to see if I can suck anymore homebrew out of my keg before filling it up again.

Yellow Monkey - now there's a beer worth trying. Maybe the next flying dog product?

Same recipe? I never had it. In fact, I haven't had Rogue beer in years. What's wrong with me?

You're English, for starters ... but, at least you're not French.

Definitely one of us.I like the e.e. cummings style - saves wear and tear on the old shift key.

Yep - but El Cap got capped (acknowledged with the shift key and the proper amount of respect).
I also liked the part about the kitty.

Correcto.Let me say this about the cat - LT, you're a doggie person, so you might not have picked up on it - If I see my cat (Peek-A-Boo) venture anywhere NEAR something of mine that may be sweaty, funky or damp; I IMMEDIATELY shoo her away. What's going through her walnut-sized mind??? "Hey!!! This smells like a litter box!!! Don't mind if I do, thank you."

It's not always so clear - I know there are these Dog person-coffee drinker vs Cat person-tea drinker divisions, but I am a Gemini, which I believe gives me permission to swing both ways.However I recently came up with an interesting conclusion. Although my cat has Downe's Syndrome and even though Morgan is a highly intelligent breed, my retarded cat can outsmart my highly intelligent dog - go figure.
