Still stalking every post I write snookums??? I thoought I told you I wasn't into guys....

If you look at the info people often cite with dogs and hops..(which there's many threads on here debating ) you will see that they are usuallyciting the same case or bulletin over and over...I'm not the only one who has noticed that....Most of the "warnings online" are just a cut and paste of ONE piece of info...NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO RE-WRITE IT. The same 3rd party story over and over.

I'm not saying the hops thing is or isn't fake or a panic, I don't know..BUT there are many people on here who think the fear is overrated..GO DEBATE THEM!!!!

I'm just saying often than what one accepts as "canon" is often just the same retreaded story over and over...with no or little variation.

Like the "Myspace rapist" legend or other meme viruses, the stuff just keeps getting re-hashed and rehased over and over. I did an exhaustive debunking and deconstruction of the myspace rapist meme virus on myspace years ago...it actually got some play for awhile...

I agree that this is not well collaborated and needs more evidence. As for the "bad batch of beer" killing someone, this I also highly doubt.

Yea - I've been trying for a week to see SOMETHING SOMEWHERE to collaborat this "death" but find nothing.

The rest is true as I remember it (big Brewer fan - BTW - Milwaukee sells Micro brews at their games - it's awesome).

I was always the sober guy at games - HATE macro swill - not I'm the drunk LOL

Which means more than likely either he was murdered via poisoned beer...or Like I said...Liver failure...

It's funny how things like urban legends get repeated over and over without anyone thinking logically...I mean...1970 was NOT a period in antiquity...It's in many of our lifetimes...

Oh the humanity!!! Why the heck isn't this a sticky that beer can kill you!!!! I for one, am swearing off this dangerous stuff immediately.

Seriously. If the "Danger to Dogs" myth is a sticky then shouldn't we also be protecting our people instead of just their pets.
