  1. Banana and bubble gum, for sure. It's the best hefe in the States and as good as any I ever had in Germany-- which is all of them. And it's not even the best beer Live Oak makes.
  2. I have a rule against blue drinks, and yellow boats, and I'm pretty sure I should have a rule against banana beer. But I guess I'll try anything once. No not that you pervs.
  3. Yeah I don't think anyone would suggest using it to replace normal framing material, that's not a good use case. But it could be used to replace steel beams or even the current version of laminated wood beams, if the price is in line or cheaper.
  4. Or maybe we should lean into it and hit more batters, and hit them hard enough to knock them out of the game? Just kidding. Sort of.
  5. Texas was always going to have to switch either to the SEC or the B1G. Once the disparity in projected league payouts hit $20M-$30M per year, staying in the B12 was just not a sustainable option.
  6. I like relegation in theory. The biggest problem with relegation in college athletics is: Why would any of the have-not schools opt for a system that puts them further at a disadvantage? And then, why would any of the have schools opt for a system that puts them at risk of becoming a have-not, if the ball bounces funny a few times? Nobody's going to vote for relegation. This is why a full breakaway is more likely than relegation/promotion.
  7. Take it to the awful Cincinnati foodways thread...
  8. Wait, are they the richest university with the bestest boosters and the mostest CEOs, or is the deck stacked against them?
  9. I don't actually think much of their success will revolve around Reed. He's not great but he could be a superstar and it still wouldn't matter because of that o-line.
  10. Hey, take this shit to the idiot americans at home thread of shame, pal.
  11. My first trip to Belgium, the first night, I went out to dinner with a crew of about 6 or 7 of us including me and another American test engineer along with the local field service engineers, and ate at a small cafe in downtown Leuven. We were ordering Hoegaarden Verboden Vrucht which is an 8.5% Belgian strong dark ale, and over the course of our 2 hour dinner we each had 6 rounds of them. I had been sitting down the entire time and when we were finally done, I stood up, and it felt like the earth wobbled underneath me. I was lucky to remain standing and as we filed out the front door, past the bar where the bartenders had been sending the beers over to us all evening, one of them looked at us admiringly and said, "You hold your liquor well." I proudly smiled and thanked him. I don't remember the walk back to the hotel but I do remember waking up at the hotel bar with a glass of Scotch in front of me and the bartender gently suggesting I head on up to my room. I agreed and obliged.
  12. Belgian beer is best beer. It is known.
  13. You hate to see it, but more than that, you love to see it...
  14. Yup we had all those glasses. Didn't save them, we used them daily, and so eventually the inevitable happened and we broke them all over time. I'd love to still have them intact, would make a fine tall Long Island Iced Tea.
  15. My MIL makes what she calls a chopped ham salad but she actually uses SPAM. It's delicious.
  16. Man it was a lovely weekend all the way around. Saw Ian Moore at Antone's on Friday, crawfish boil at my house on Saturday, and just hanging by the pool in the backyard all afternoon on Sunday. Tremendous weather and even though it's supposed to get Africa-hot this week, I can't complain at all about how mild and pleasant this spring has been so far.
  17. Well the good news is, not a lot of 145 percent stuff was ever shipped. As alluded to above, much of it was held back. But still some arrived and will have to be dealt with. Ports will definitely be a mess for a while.
  18. Hmmm, appreciate the thoughtful response. And I agree with your analysis. I was only musing but you've hit on it. Literally a metric fuckton of people use weird, meaningless or incorrect extra words and syllables for emphasis or exaggeration.
  19. Why do people refer to a metric ton when they're trying to emphasize the enormity of something? I mean, sure, a metric ton is a little more than a regular ton. 1000 kg is about 2,200 lbs, while a regular ton is 2,000 lbs. So a metric ton weighs about 10% more than a regular ton. That's more, of course, but it hardly seems worthy of such breathless enthusiasm. You're basically saying, "ZOMG! It's so big, it's roughly 10% larger than a regular ton!" Which seems pretty anticlimactic, really. Now, if a metric fuckton is something like, I don't know, 37,000 lbs, then I could see the desire to use that particular measurement as emphasis for size. Oh and back on topic, WTF is wrong with you, Austin?
  20. Well from the rankings, looks like we can start by stealing A&M's coaches.
  21. Couldn't tell ya. I just grabbed the graphic off the net. But if I were doing it, I doubt I'd dig any deeper than geographic location of high school. Tracing any deeper than that for "pre-high-school state of origin" doesn't sound like a social media-worthy level of effort.
