RANT: The Clone Wars

[chazzy1864]

I shall continue not eagerly waiting for The Walking Dead to air as I merely spend my time waiting for superior shows, such as Justified and Archer.

[VoxExMachina]

I'm hoping these "mid-season finales/breaks" don't become common.

They're probably here to stay. Lets them cut down on the number of new episodes per year.

I've noticed a trend lately on some half hour shows where about 20-25 minutes into the show, they'll break for commercial and then come back to the show for all of 30 seconds before going back to commercial again. I'm hoping this "fake return" isn't a new trend as well.

They already have.

Ketchup chips are dumb.

Real smarties (i.e., 'Murican Smarties) > Canadia Smarties

Can I interest you in the "Fries and Gravy" flavor?

You are a dumb.

What others would you recommend I try? Sam Adams.

The Boston Lager is the best of their year round beers. I'll have one at a restaurant if it's the best choice on the menu.

I've tried a lot of Samuel Adams beers, and my experience is that there are a few that are pretty good, several more that are decent, and others that have no reason to exist. Few of their offerings are going to be an exceptional example of the style. They're good for people that want to branch out from the inferior beers without wanting to be too adventurous. In other words, don't expect to be blown away. I purchase their Octoberfest every year as well as the Winter Classics variety box. The cream stout is decent. Same for the noble pils.

DVR.

You're welcome.

[VoxExMachina]

DVR.

You're welcome.

Thanks, Mr. Gates.

I don't watch anything live any more, even sports. The "fake return" is pretty annoying since I just put down the DVR remote and have started to dig back into my bag of Doritos, when suddenly I have to fast-forward again.

Bluemoon is my go to when there isn't much of selection. I understand that this must come as a surprise to most of you.

[Miketoc]

In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky,
That's the place where I traced my bloodline.
And it's there that I read on a hillside gravestone,
You will never leave Harlan alive.

Your beer drinking tastes have evolved since your participation in the Rant.

Most rant members report this as a common side effect of prolonged participation.

[chazzy1864]

You are a dumb.

The Walking Dead is above average at best.

Country sucks.

[Miketoc]

Country sucks.

I agree, but these people convinced me to watch Justified and S1 finale was awesome. That song was at the end. Apparently I like some country songs.

Brad Paisley is good sh*t.

Be tea dub, did you see my IMs to you from this morning?

[mjw8204]

Brad Paisley is good sh*t.

No.

Not even by country standards.

[chazzy1864]

No.

Not even by country standards.

I'm not a country purist. The songs are like are few and far between and I know I enjoy the more modernized/main stream songs that purists hate. I'm fine with that.

Brad Paisley is good sh*t.

This ranks right up there with The Hobbit being better than LotR and mayo going on bfast sandwiches.

[adamdavidson47]

I want to stab my ears with sharp objects whenever country music comes on the radio.

Is Brad Paisley the one that sings that "I'm just a guy song'?

Dunno about that song. But he sings "Mud on the Tires", "Whiskey Lullaby", "Wrapped around the finger", "Online", "Alcohol", and "Ticks".

[kvk1]

Sounds like a quality discography.

[Miketoc]

Ok this is getting out of hand. I like literally one song and I like it because it was on Justified. The show improved the song vs the other way around (which is usual, music improving cinema). Chazzy, I need you to desist as I do not want to be associated with your pro crappy-music parade. Thanks.

Our daddy, who is on earth, needs to get down at some point in his life.
+ That is one of the best pick up lines. "Bitch, I was the mother f*ckin' Pope. Why don't you kneel and beg for my divine blessing!"

I think Ossizen just had a heart attack reading this.

Shows how much I know/care about Catholicism.

You don't grow up with an ex-nun for a mother and not retain lots of info regardless of your own beliefs or lack thereof.

Are you still in Ohio? Try to find Great Lakes beers. Pretty damn good across the board.

Just about the only thing I miss about living in Ohio is Great Lakes. I never had a bad one.

a.) You can buy beer/wine/liquor at the same place you can buy your groceries.

Like TAAB and a couple of others states, this varies state by state due to local liquor laws. In NY, it's illegal to sell wine anywhere but wine stores but you can get beer in any bodega, whereas out here in Oregon they sell wine in the 7-11 next to me and in gas station convenience stores. To my knowledge in both states you have to go to a liquor store for anything other than wine or beer though.

At least neither state stops selling beer at 9pm each night like in Connecticut.



Oh, and Walking Dead is finally coming back?

[darinaldi]

Someone needs to multi-quote now that Demike doesn't post here any more.

[darinaldi]

Looks like all the East Coasters have gone to lunch early.

This thing on?

I do my best to fill his awfully big hobbit shoes, but lately the rant has been so sh*tty during the period I'm asleep, there might be one or two posts to quote.

No one can multi quote like demike could multi quote.
