Who says you need to win the Cup every year to do the bolded?

Good point bromie

I'm heading up to Ellicottville, NY for the weekend. Does anyone know of any decent bottle shops along the way? I couldn't find too much on BA.

I didn't care for 4 but most seem to feel that was the best. On the flip side, I really enjoyed 2 and most thought it was weaker. I like the dynamic of all the main characters being together like they were in season 1. Once they split the team up, I felt it lost a step.

I agreed on that once they split up it lost something even know some of the cops story lines where great but always thought it was second to every other story line. I liked season 2 characters at the docks a lot and the Greek but was weird that everyone just disappeared after season 2.

My personal opinion as a level 97 B.O.S.S. (on a bad day) on Asteroids, Tetris and occasionally Donkey Kong is that I really prefer 64 bits to 32 ....Mario's ladder climb gameplay is far superior...he glides much more smoothly and his barrel bashing hammer is much more realistic. Additionally, there are so many more song options in 64 bit tetris...but I'm hoping to get to level 98-99 over the weekend, so I'll report back.

yeah, man

what do you think of Dark Souls 3?

So far I prefer 2...or even "Slightly Grey Souls"....it feels underdone and doesn't translate very well to the platform in my opinion. And a bit too linear and the voice-acting is underwhelming.

Ah, season 1. It was all down hill after that.

Stevedores are awesome; season two was good too.

Season four was some good tv and 3 was ok 2 n 5 where not my favorite.

Five was built upon the shoulders of giants; in wrapping everything up it was bound to be broad/slow.

That was a nice Houdini act.

Watched seasons 1-4 of The Wire, haven't watched 5 yet. I tried, but I found it really difficult to get interested in the newspaper thing. I'll get back to it at some point.

A really good, solid show... But, overrated in my book.

I used to go camping on the north side Allegany state park and I highly suggest bringing your own supply for the weekend. I don't know if Jamestown has improved at all, but that might have something if you are going that way.

That's what I hated about season 5. But thought the ending for most of the characters mainly bubbles was fantastic.

Seasons of the Wire, ranked in order of best to worst

4,3,1,2,5

A lot of people put 2 at the end, but I was partial to that season. Would even argue to put it higher.

Can't top 4 and 3 though. Some of the best television ever made.

Dudes, this was less than 3 months ago....

Does this mean we talk about MBP again next month?

Speaking of quality television, season 8 of Full House was my favorite. The episode where Kimmy Gibbler gets black out drunk at a frat party and stands on a couch burping in front of everyone is a **** tube moment that still lives on 20 years later.

If you have a "favorite" episode of Full House, you are an idiot.


Because they are all tied for best season. Impossible to pick one over the other.

jeevo counted the days until Netflix released Fuller House.

Ehh **** it, while were at it:

The Only* Seasons of the Simpsons, ranked in order from best to worst:

4,5,6,7,3,8,2,1


This is not up for debate.


*These are the only seasons that were ever made. Don't you even try to tell me about a "Season 9" or "25" or whatever. That's false.

Yeah i'm planning on passing through that way. That looked to be the only decent sized town on the way up so i guess i'll give it a shot.

Only level 10 atm on Witcher so can't say yet. Thus far, I prefer the gameplay on Skyrim as Witcher is much more story-driven. Plus, I feel like there are more ways to battle in Skyrim as opposed to the hack and slash which is pretty much your only option on Witcher. But like I said, still only level 10 or 11 so it's too early to tell.

I almost 100% agree with you. But season 9 is still good. But only about half the time.

I was watching season 3 the other day. One of my favorite lines from the whole series is from that season - "P.S. I am gay"

The wire is my favorite tv show of all time I like every season to a point but some I like more then others.

2.) I think the "artisan ale sales representative" jagoffbrewer posted about may be for Shelton Bros.

Welcome back! Is this for serious?

Thanks! I am seriously speculating that, yes. I am not kidding, but it's still only an educated guess.

an interesting factoid from an article on another site:

"Of the nearly 4,300 breweries operating in 2015, more than 3,900 of them produced fewer than 7,500 barrels. That means 91 percent of American craft brewers account for only 1.5 percent of the total production of the nation’s beer industry."

Everyone is always asking when the bubble will burst...well with a stat like that, I think the bubble can sustain quite a bit more growth before we talk about it bursting ...especially if it continues to eat into big beer production while simultaneously only slowly increasing its own...

Another quote from the same editorial:

"The new wave of smaller brewers, often based on the taproom model, frequently have few, if any, intentions of selling beer outside of their four walls. It’s a financially smart model in a capital hungry, expensive industry. It also invites some insularity, where in the absence of a need to engage the outside market, brewers retreat to their own houses and don’t interact with others."

This would explain both the successes of breweries that we rarely mention (Hop Farm, East End, Roundabout, Full Pint, etc...) as well as explain why they don't necessarily feel the need to participate as much in the community.

What reason do you have to believe Shelton's coming back to Pittsburgh imminently?

 

[kbuzz1]

What reason do you have to believe Shelton's coming back to Pittsburgh imminently?

maybe cause it's about ******* time?

 

[wyckydsceptre]

Do you guys know about the actual Shelton gossip? Cause it's not because of them.

 

[preluderl]

Can someone fill a semi-n00b in on the story with Shelton Brothers? Why did they leave Pittsburgh and what would the effect be for us if they were to return?
