Genius, isn't it? And then you look at a picture of the guy... http://www.ville-colomiers.fr/data/images/Georges%20Perec%20portrait%201.jpg Whoa. Did you know that after he was done writing A Void (in French, of course) he decided to write this long poem using words that ONLY use the vowel "e" and no other vowels? Genius or nuts - or both?

That would explain my friend Chris. We tease him about not really drinking beer, but it is all the bike riding that is the culprit.

Although after my 6 mile ride through the muddy and flooded woods on Saturday, I did NOT drink PBR ... I had a nice Pilsner Urquell.I guess on-street skinny-tire urban and off-road rural fat-tire riders are different.

Yeah, Saturday was warmer than Sunday, but cloudy. It was like April, with that kind of humidity that made you think a thundershower was imminent, but not actually warm enough to pump one up. I wouldn't say it was "muggy" because, again, it was really hot.I rode out with BDU's (not BVD's) and a long sleeve shirt. I was flying down the fire road, when I turned the corner into a massive puddle. I tried to ride through it, but eventually had to put my foot down and soaked my Chuck's.

These Tröegs brews are getting a lot of press int the MTB mags (Dirt Rag, especially). I may have to give them a shot. quote:
From the website:
Tröegs Pale Ale is an American style Pale Ale that is aggressively hopped with Northwest Cascades and balanced with crystal malts to create a hoppy, copper-colored crisp ale. An excellent example of a classic American Pale Ale.Tröegs HopBack Amber gets its unique name and taste from the HopBack Vessel in our brewhouse. Packed full of whole flavor hops, each batch circulates through the vessel, creating a fresh hoppy aroma, spicy taste and rich caramel note that defines this signature amber ale Tröegs Rugged Trail Ale is a unique rendition of a classic English Brown. It has a deep bronze color, rocky head, and prominent Fuggle hop aroma. Toasted amber and Chocolate malts impart a "Nutty" richness and creamy velvet texture. Troegenator Double Bock for periods of fasting without solid foods, Monastic brewers relied on the double bock; a stronger, richer beer to fulfill their basic nutritional needs. Known to them as "liquid bread", a double bock has a strong malt aroma and chewy rich body. In the spirited tradition of naming a double bock in the suffix "ator," we give you Troegenator to provide warmth and richness through the early spring months. the Mad Elf (Nov. - Jan.) - Ruby Red appearance, the hints of cherries and exotic spices, enjoy the warmth of the Mad Elf as it lifts your holiday spirit.

The liquor store next to the gym (scary convenient!!!) just got these in:Anderson Valley Belks ESB Ale
A full body, ambrosial maltiness, and an arousing hoppy bite. This beer is not for the light beer drinker or those desiring no aftertaste. The abundant hopping in this four-time gold medal winner, creates arousing aromatics, accompanied by a pleasantly bitter bite. Belk's ESB is deep gold in color, with a spicy hop aroma. Starts with a big, malty backbone and finishes with a refreshingly bitter bite. Belk's Bitter Ale is excellent alone or as an accompaniment to your favorite well-seasoned meals (such as Mexican, Korean, Chinese, Indian, or Thai, cuisine). Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout
With its deep, dark brown-black color, thick, full-bodied, velvety-smooth mouth feel, mocha character, and, strong yet subtle hop bite, Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is one of the thickest, richest, and most complex stouts on the market today. In 1990, it became our first gold medal winner, at the Great American Beer Festival. Barney Flats was judged so superior to the other stouts that no other medals were even awarded in its catagory. Try it and see why Stewart Kallen described it as, "Slippery, creamy, dark, and sweet as a Pacific May morning," in his book, The 50 Greatest Beers in the World I was tempted, Lord, I was tempted, but at $9.49 per 6-pack, I had to pass. I realize it would be more on tap, if I could find it, but that's just too steep.

I am finishing up a book on the Longitude Prize (invention of Chronometers) and just got back Busting Vegas and look forward to finishing it. I have a question for Ben Mezrich if he is ever on with Howie again. In one of the chapter there is a situation where one of the players knows that he is only going to take a single card becuase the following card is going to bust the dealer. I can not figure out why in that situation he did not double down. I also got a couple Frank Miller "Graphic Novels" which I may or may not get to. I am just curious as to how the translate to the movie. Seven pounds of cherries doesn't sound bad I use 10 pounds of apples. I have decided on my next recipe but I'm not sure when I'll have time to brew. I am going to make a Danish/Scandinavian Pilsner. Something light for the summer.

I would say they were NON-INJURED. In my mind, you are UN-injured after you have been injured and then fixed / healed. A door that has been stuck, and then fixed is ... UNSTUCK.
A blouse that was done and then made to be more appealing has been UNDONE.
A girl who was wearing a dress and now is not has been UNDRESSED.
A beer bottle that has not yet achieved is destiny is UNOPENED - well that should actually go with the NON-OPENED option.
Un Means "the opposite of" so uninjured is prefectly exceptable. Use "un" if the root word is Germanic in orgin, use non, or in (il, ir, im) if the root word is latin in orgin.
