  1. Dan Collins says:

    Why is it that all I can think of is Coors commercials?

  2. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Because you’re a drunk?  With bad taste in beers?

  3. T&T says:

    Jeff,

    Condemning a movie before you have seen it?  Speaking ahead of the evidence is what the liberals do.  Do you want to end up like Al Gore? 

    Oh.  I see your point.  Never mind.

    Hey!  I do NOT have bad taste in beers.

    Jeff,

    Speaking of beers, what’s your pick of the local brews?

    Guinness, poured out of a local tap.

  9. slackjawedyokel says:

    Wait a minute . . . Teak?

    <i>Teak???????<i>

    THE RAINFORESTS ARE BEING DENUDED!!!!!

  10. Sticky B says:

    So, you reckon it’ll be a bitchin’ year for whitewater rafting starting in about a month?

  11. Phinn says:

    Man, that’s just weird

    I don’t know about you, but all of my furniture sits around talking smack all day long.

  12. SteveG says:

    Response from sustainanbly harvested teak furniture on a patio surrounding a pool that is bigger than your whole freaking lot in Montecito, CA

    Yeah, but when that snow melts the ocean will get, like, totally fuller

  13. ThePolishNizel says:

    MMMM…Guinness poured out of any tap is alright by me.  Jeff, I picked up a bottle of the Balvenie Double Wood.  This novice says, “Damn, that shit is goooood!” I love it.  I know I need to try some more (next up on the docket is either the Lagavulin 16 or the Highland Park 12 as my first two bottles were both Speysiders), but the Balvenie Double Wood is wonderful and I could see making it the official Single Malt for the Nizel household. 

    Btw, 5 inches of snow?  My condolences.  I hate snow!

  14. Jess says:

    Wooden Furniture?? 

    Sorry dude, but the cast metal bits work better outdoors, plus has the added advantage of holding up better under Algors weight. 

    I hear he’s a big Coors fan

    J

    Just turn the wood into clubs… or does anyone know if teak makes a decent baseball bat??

  15. Blue Hen says:

    I recall one pleasant evening in an Irish bar, with a pint of properly kept and poured Guiness. There was live music, provided by an Irishman from Belfast, who was leading the entire bar in a great drinking song (which I can’t remember; go figure). At one point during the refrain, everyone in the house was supposed to hoist their drinks and shout something. A guy sitting diretly in front of this singer waved a Coors ( Coors light no less!!!) on high. The singer went ballastic, stopping the song, and ridiculed him for drinking ‘weasel water’, which he claimed, was so weak that, if thrown against the wall, “wouldn’t have the strength to run down”!.

  16. Blue Hen says:

    In Dan’s defense, I must agree that it has not yet been proven that he has bad taste in beers. He was cited for drinking Coors, which most of us don’t even consider to BE a beer.

    So he’s innocent I tell ya!

    We’re here for you Dan. We’ve got your back; just so long as you don’t mind the occaisonal knife

  17. Jim in KC says:

    My patio furniture is cast aluminum.  It doesn’t talk.  Ever.

    I think it secretly wishes it was something a bit sexier, like a custom road wheel or a Kimber M1911 frame, though.

  18. alppuccino says:

    Booze it up fellas.  Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.  Have a big ol’ time.  But I did some research when it almost hit 80 here in Ohio on Monday and it turns out last year on that date it was 44.6 degrees!

    That’s a global warmup of 34 degrees plus!

    It’s gonna be 122 next March!!!

    I’ll see you in hell.

  19. A fine scotch says:

    I’d try and have a chat with my patio furniture, but most of it is either impaled in the fence or blew through the holes where the rest of the fence used to be.

    Stamped concrete patio is still intact, but I wouldn’t want to talk to him.  That fucker is DULL.  Like an accounting convention dull.

  20. MikeD says:

    Don’t get me wrong, I like Pete Coors, but I understand that the brewery in Golden is the termination of a long pipeline that originates in a urinal collection facility outside Dublin.  Could this be true? That we Coloradans have built the ultimate recycling concept?

  21. Blue Hen,

    I had a similar experience when my brother-in-law ordered a black and tan in a neighborhood bar in Philly.  Hysterical.  You could actually hear the record needle scratch as everyone in the bar shut up and stared at him.

    You’re in Delaware? Like any Dogfish Head?

  22. ThePolishNizel says:

    Alppuccino…I feel ya, man.  Man that was nice.  Ever since manbearpig has been spouting off about how CO2 is causing global warming, I have been burning fossil fuel, hell anything that gives off CO2, 24/7.  Is it finally paying off?  Yes.

  23. Jess says:

    TPN,

    Speys, huh?  I know, they’re generally more complex flavored (to my taste, similar to a truly great red), but to get the good peat/mossy flavors try something from the Islay.

    Later tonight I’ll sip an “old Frog” (Laphroaig) & smoke a good box pressed maduro…

  24. nawoods says:

    It’s on days like today where it’s 80 degrees and sunny here in Atlanta that I realize I don’t really miss Denver all that much.  Now if we could just do something about the damn pollen!

  25. Matthew O. says:

    5” of snow, truthfully that sounds inconvenient…

  26. Blue Hen says:

    I am in Delaware. I like Dogfish, but I’ll note that Yuengling is quite good. I especialy like their porter. We used to be able to get product from a brewery in Frederick, Md called ‘Wild Goose’. They used to produce one new product every season, and production was limited to a few thousand cases. I haven’t seen it in years though.

  27. Scape-Goat Trainee says:

    All I know is that the college girls here in NC are already wearing bikinis…

    …Global Warming is making everything look better so far.

  28. Carin says:

    Would it be a bad time to mention the crocuses bloomin’ in my ‘hood?

  29. Tai Chi Wawa says:

    Ah, yes . . . a few Guinnesses and a chat with Paddy O’Furniture.

  30. Squid says:

    Mmmmm…Yuengling Porter.  Probably the thing I look forward to most when making plans to visit the in-laws.

    Let the sun take care of the snow, Jeff.  Shoveling at the end of March is such a waste.  And snowblowers make CO2, which we all know is a Bad Thing.

  31. ThePolishNizel says:

    Jess…Yeah, that is why I think the next purchase is the Lagavulin.  I could seriously get used to drinking nothing but Speysiders, but I want to experience the full range of flavor and that has got to include something peaty.  Like I said, I am a novice.  Islay is a calling me….

  32. Used to be able to get a case of Yuengling returnables in pints for 7.50.  Never had to know the name of the beer I was ordering, it was always a “lager” a “porter” or a “half and half”.  Now I have to import it whenever the in-laws are visiting.  It’s the only thing I miss about Philly.

    They can sell it at Disney World but not in Indiana, why does the world hate me?

  33. Andy says:

    I pretty much wanted to cry when I looked out the window this morning.  The mild weather we’ve had over the past couple weeks seems like such a cruel tease now.

  34. McGehee says:

    What is it with you people and your high-tone beers?

    Any beer that can read Chaucer is too damn hoity-toity.

  35. Any beer that can read Chaucer is too damn hoity-toity.

    Dunno about that. Chaucer can be quite earthy at times.

    Particularly now, what with him being dead for so long.

  36. Blue Hen says:

    “Can be quite earthy”

    Da-dump-bump. Ting!

    That’s was very bad, meaning it was good.

    I heard that Yuengling and Molson were duking it out a few years back about which was the oldest brewery in North America. Does anyone know who won?

  37. The Fabulous Timbo says:

    Sooner or later it will be required that you attend Goracle’s movie. It will be preceded by the hilarious “1984” Hillary short.

    Because we all need to be re-educated, I guess.

  38. mojo says:

    Coors is beer?? No shit. Coulda fooled me.

    “Guiness – not just a tasty beverage, it’s an entire meal!”

    I should work for an ad agency, huh?

  39. Swen Swenson says:

    Sure could use a little of that Global Warming right about now. It started in September, followed us all the way to the bootheel of Texas, and as we speak it’s snowing like a mutha in the shadow of Jellystone. Could we like take up a collection and pay Al Gore to keep his mouth shut before he starts another ice age? I mean! Seven friggin’ months of winter! Enuff!!

    TW: merely25. Jeez. Yeah, but it was 70 two days ago dammit!

  40. alppuccino says:

    Hey Swen,

    You really should be glad it’s not a hundred years earlier when it was .6 degrees cooler.  BRRRRRRRR!!

  41. Jeff Goldstein says:

    TO WHOM IT MIGHT CONCERN:

    DAN WROTE:  “Why is it that all I can think of is Coors commercials?”

    TO WHICH I REPLIED, AS A JOKE:

    “Because you’re a drunk?  With bad taste in beers?”

    — THE JOKE BEING, WHY ELSE WOULD SOMEONE BE THINKING OF BEER IN THE MORNING, PARTICULARLY A CRAP BEER LIKE COORS.

    THAT IS ALL.

    SO TO ALL YOU DAN SUPPORTERS WHO BELIEVE I HAVE ACTED BOORISHLY TOWARD HIM WITH MY INSENSITIVE, GRACELESS COMMENT, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT YOU MISINTERPRETED.

    PLEASE DON’T SEND ME ANYMORE EMAILS SCOLDING ME.

    FOR CHRISSAKES, I BEG YOU.

  42. Jeff Goldstein says:

    you know what?  Fuck it.

    I don’t need this.

  43. McGehee says:

    Holy $#!t. People actually got worked up enough over that line to send nasty emails?

    Lord have mercy.

  44. T&T says:

    Jeff,

    Those of us who got it had a quiet chuckle and tried to continue the thread. 

    Have a cup of tea and a hot scone (with butter, jam, and cream), read the morning paper, and enjoy your view of the Rockies.  Run naked in the snow with the little armored fellow (if he isn’t trying to pick up waitresses in Boulder this early in the morning).  Have a hot shower.  Rinse and repeat. 

    Have a great day, JG.

    It was a joke!  Jeff knows I don’t drink Coors!
