    BWW threads merged

    Already we've had two threads started on a BWW commercial poking fun at homebrewers. To avoid a repeat of the glut of Obama brews threads, BWW threads have been merged. Go here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/buffalo-wild-wings-350733

    Just when you think your kids aren't listening ...

    My older daughter, Maddie, is 8. She is a great kid in most regards but has a habit of being a little selfish. Not brat selfish but selfish enough to concern us. She wrote two letters to Santa, further reinforcing our beliefs. She eventually wrote a third to which she hoped for a response...

    Your better half's biggest foible

    Cleaning the house today and something struck me: I spend as much time picking up my kids' crap and putting it back where it belongs as I do my wife's crap. The irony is my wife is always complaining about the clutter despite the fact that much of it is hers. I find her music stuff all over...

    The world is f'd up: A rant

    Sometimes, I need to get things off my chest. -- I made myself try to watch "Avatar" the other night. I had to see what all the hype was about. I made it through an hour before I wanted to hurt somebody. What an absolute waste of my time. I've seen it before. It was called "Dances with...

    Help from Bostonians

    Might be too late for this, but I'll try anyway. Taking the family to Boston for the weekend. Now, I was born and raised there but it's been 20 years since I've lived in the area. We are staying at the Renaissance on Congress St. I was hoping somebody could educate me on the best, safest way to...

    Dammit, the flip-flops are back

    So there I was, driving past the prep school near my house when I saw them. Four young men, collars up (ugh), khakis and ... FLIP-FLOPS. The horror. God, I hate those damn things. When did they become appropriate footwear? Yeah, I want to look at your gnarly friggin' toes when I'm doing my...

    2010 NCAA tournament discussion thread

    I'm glued to three games at the moment and will be for the rest of the day and tomorrow. So as not to clog up the Tap Room, any interested parties feel free to talk college hoops here. I'll start. I can't remember so many close early games on day one. It bodes well. :rockin:

    Is it silly to desire validation?

    I've been brewing for 2 years now and I've believed for the past year that my brews are at least decent, if not above average. My friends have always been complimentary and certainly keep me busy, but tonight I got the validation I've been hoping to get. We had a couple we just met for dinner...

    Good ol' Texas whoopin'

    Good thing there are a lot of woodsheds in Texas because the 'Horns are certainly being taken to it.

    WTF, or question the answers, part II

    I woke up in a great mood today, ready and raring to go. Then I got in the car. Thus, THE postwhore brings you his semi-annual rant: Thank you, CT DOT, for being the absolute dumbest organization on earth. Who's bright idea was it to turn I-84 in Hartford from three lanes to one on the Friday...

    Chicago - where to go?

    I'm going to be in Chicago on Friday night, 11/20. Looking for suggestions about where to get good food and, more importantly, good beer. I'm staying out near O'Hare but am not averse to fighting that god-awful traffic to get downtown, if necessary. It would be cool if anybody's free to meet...

    Some things should not be made at home

    Like, say, gun powder. I've watched this multiple times. It gets funnier with each successive viewing. :D

    Headed to Cincinnati 11/6. Anybody want to grab a few?

    I will be in Cincinnati on Friday (Nov. 6) and will be staying until Sunday morning. I am free Friday night if anybody wants to get together. Well, I'm free during the day Saturday but can't have more than one or two as I have to work Saturday night. Interested parties? :)

    Pumpkin ale: pumpkin necessary?

    My wife has ordered me to brew a pumpkin ale, which I had intended to do tomorrow. Only issue is 3 grocery stores did not have the canned pumpkin I was looking for. I know there is much debate as to whether pumpkin actually adds anything to pumpkin ale. Its character is largely in the spices...

    Happy Birthday, Revvy

    Judging by the many times he reminded us yesterday, today is Revvy's birthday. Have a good one, Reverend. :mug:

    Headed to Columbus, OH, 9/4-9/6

    Work will take me to Columbus (actually Athens, but the place doesn't have any hotels worth a darn) Labor Day weekend. If any central Ohioans are interested, I'd love to get together the night of Sept. 4. Irregular Pulse and his SWMBO are going to try to make it. Love to have more. :mug:

    Valerie Plame gets her wish, Novak dead at 78

    Possibly the only political columnist who ever made much sense to me (not a conservative) has died. Columnist Robert Novak dies at 78 - CNN.com. As a journalist, I respected the hell out of him, at least until he used his Corvette to perform hit and run last year.
