@Ticomaya,

I see that theresa suit contending that BUDWEISERE is watering down its product. I think that is something that is not a surprise to the beer quaffing public."full bodied" has never been a phrase that Ive associated with Budweiser

@spendius,

Well spendi, I understand the reasoning behind it. As a partner in raising the children, I am a usufructuary of the benefits accrued based on the work done by my husband at the time. It's very small compensation too for the effort expended. What other arrangement would reasonable?

But yes, it's up there all right. But done; so behind me. Now to the Social Security appointment.

@edgarblythe,

This is a sad story edgar. I hope I don't have to pay. If I do, it's unjust. I'll work it up asap so I can stop worrying about it.

@spendius,

I've always been a racey little thing, spendi. It's three, true. But the first one didn't really count.

@Lola,

Did you see the Pope taking leave of the faithful in that Vatican choreographed telecast? It was stunning. Anybody who didn't think so has no proper sense of history. What a wonder seeing at a distance (tele-vision) actually is.

All roads lead to Rome.

Records are definitely not boring Lola. Burroughs has a piece about the national records office complex in Naked Lunch.

True. But going to the records building for my 1972 marriage license was boring and sad.............gittit? And so did Franz Kafka.

Your writing always entertains me. Bravo (visualize bank notes being thrown)

in the manner Bernie once claimed to have constrained himself to do on my behalf.

Ignore such claims by Bernie.........he makes stuff up as often as not. But it was, I'm sure the thought that counted.

All this from one Jezebel to another. I love you spendi!

@Lola,

They always say that the ideal woman is a nymphomaniac who own a pub.

I suppose a Coffee Shop will do. At a pinch.

Did I just hear Wassau yell, "You'll take the size I give you, Whitey"

You see how talented Wassau is in his communication style? Good customer service is the key to his success. He's taken a few lessons from his good customer spendi lately. Always improving, that's his motto (one of many).

Diversity in the cafe. That's another little secret to Wassau's success.
Welcome to Tico and Frank.

@spendius,

Jezebel, I admit to (except for the controlling part) Looks to me like Jezebel was an early Flower Child. Nymphomaniac is what you said.

Quote:

The name Jezebel came to be associated with false prophets, and further associated by the early 20th century with fallen or abandoned women.[6] In Christian lore, a comparison to Jezebel suggested that a person was a pagan or an apostate masquerading as a servant of God. By manipulation and/or seduction, she misled the saints of God into sins of idolatry and sexual immorality.[7] In particular, Jezebel has come to be associated with promiscuity. In modern usage, the name of Jezebel is sometimes used as a synonym for sexually promiscuous and sometimes controlling women,[8][9] In his two-volume Guide to the Bible (1967 and 1969), Isaac Asimov describes Jezebel's last act: dressing in all her finery, make-up and jewelry, as deliberately symbolic, indicating her dignity, royal status and determination to go out of this life as a queen.

Maybe their defense will be that they water down Bud less than Coors does?

More importantly, the Beam Co. has decided AGAINST watering down their product.

Beer's beer. I hate the stuff.

Wassau, how would you say that?

Blasphemy!!!

Much as I love and respect you, Lola, uttering words such as these can be construed as volunteering for a an auto-da-fe. "I hate the stuff" is OK, that's your personal taste and prerogative. But to say that "beer's beer" shows a callous disrespect for the brewer's art. Sam Adams or Anchor Steam or some of the local brews are not the same as Budweiser or Schlitz or Coors.

Sheesh.

I've got my home brew kit working to perfection. It's a frothy as Guinness, holds its head and is 1/6th the price in the pub. All it lacks is a barmaid to pull it.

Under the Code of Hammurabi watering the beer was punished in a very gruesome fashion. In public. If somebody has been watering the beer it shows that the authorities have gone soft and have lost sight of the proper order of priorities.

In those Biblical days "The Hymn to Ninkasi" was a prayer to the Mesopotamian goddess of beer, (Mrs P. Jolly) and served as both a prayer and as a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate people.

One should bear such things in mind when reading the Bible.

@Lustig Andrei,

I actually tried an American beer that's got a good reputation, sorry but over here most people think of American beer as Coors or Budweiser. I had one of these.

It was very nice, but it's definitely not a lager, it's a pale ale.

I've developed a real taste for these lately.

@izzythepush,

Sam Adams is what I usually ordering when I order a beer...although I prefer tap rather than bottles.

@Ticomaya,

The dirty little secret of "not watering the stuff down" is this,
how do they control the original proof of their product if they dont water down? the proof from the still would normally be close to 75% or 150 pf/V. So they have to water down the original product after its distilled.

@Frank Apisa,

I dont drink any more but I will occasionally "Taste" a new offering from Yuengling or Dogfish Head.
Th latter makes an IPA with a 19% alcohol content. Its more a Burgundy except that its a hoppy full- flavored concoction that is so bitter it's startling.
I had one of them last summer at a Tidewater raw clam festival and I can still taste it. HOWEVER, its probably the best thing to accomapany raw clams topped with horseradish and farm made potato chips.

DROOOOOL.

Anybody that says "beer's beer is a wine snob. All beverages have value and flavor and represent high art, engineering and science.

@Frank Apisa,

They were on special offer so I thought I really should try one. They won't be on draught over here, it's just bottles.
