Nice ... you really know how to write a review. quote:
I also picked up a six of Sierra Nevada's Big Foot which came into our house to mixed reviews. When you're not used to drinking beer with actual body, it's kind of surprising, like melted ice cream. I could tell technically that it's 'good' (meaning: complicated, interesting. A thinker.) but I don't know if it's really to my taste. I think I like more summery beers. It's gloomy outside though, so I might have the last one and see if we can come to an understanding. My boyfriend, incidentally, said drinking it was 'like being raped by Bigfoot.' NOT a fan.
Unfortunately, I've seen "Anchorman" too many times to think of Bigfoot without smirking. Plus, Bigfoot is an awesome tagger.  ------------------

You know, a little low-brow humor is good for the soul. You need to spend more time with the Common People, Your Lordship.

I'm all for low-brow humor, but Anchorman seemed like it was filmed solely on the premise that Will Ferrell is funny. Which he really ain't if he doesn't have a good script. It was just a string of crappy, heavily overacted jokes. Hey, I did laugh every now and again! I stooped!

If it's any consolation, I'm the only person I know who didn't like it that much. Oh, and I thought The Hot Chick was hilarious. Shoot...I saw mention of SN Bigfoot Barleywine up there. I had one recently and found to my surprise that it was kinda cloying - a little too syrupy, which the extra hops did nothing to help. It was a little like having pancakes drowned in syrup with a dash of Pine Sol. I'd much rather have an Old Foghorn.

Nice post there RunMonkey. I was a bit hesitant to respond as MM can spout of BEER a mile a minute and Randymar is right there with a source to either prove him right or wrong AND neither was around! I am usually trying match this food with that beer. So below are some thoughts. MA_NorthShore = seafood with an Ipswich Ale
Veggie_Bacon Cheeseburger with a Tremont Ale
Tuna Salad - nothing - I don't touch anything with Mayo in it

OK. I will abide by the rules of the beer thread. I will refer to him as "Ragu," for his pedestrian taste in food. But out of curiousity, what's the problem with 'my'? Where else would the possessive lie? Is it like saying, "my Land Rover" or something? I will say that this is a particularly challenging case to not mention him, as his stunningly, and I mean stunningly, rigid attitudes about food and beverage put him on my radar when making culinary or beverage decisions. Also, he's often quotable. I don't have a Land Rover, by the way. I have a dog.
Can I say, "my dog"?  (While we're at it, should I assume no smileys?) See me resist the urge to type a second one? No...wait...can't...  UGH. I can't tell you how demeaned I feel by having found myself in a world of smilies. I do feel shame.

Oh, poop. I posted it twice. Thanks for the suggestions LT. I will avoid the DH/DW and not just because I don't have either but I find it cloying too. Stuff like that makes it seem like all internet vernacular was invented by Good Housekeeping magazine.

I like being mis-understood - it gets MM's dander up.

Actually, you probably didn't. Sometimes, around 2 or 3 o'clock, the CR server gets a little weird and double posts for you.

As thirsty as we are in here, a dry sense of humor carries very well. It's probably one of the few CR threads where it is appreciated and embraced; celebrated even. We don't need to rely on smiley's to say "there's a joke in here" and we're not so self-impressed, self-important, or super-sensitive that we'll take offense. Look at Mike; when he made the Anchorman comment, he knew I was coming after him. He invited a response. I couldn't be rude. [This message has been edited by randymar (edited Mar-28-2006).]

Yeah, maybe I should have thought that comment through a little better. The "my" is reflective ... Not only is D'Wife my ... y'know; but I'm also HER ... y'know. There's a possessive there, too. As pirates, we just can't handle that. As for dogs and cats and cars and bikes, the "my" is fine.
