When I was in Hawaii I tried Longboard and thought it was crappy, is it like that?

I'm sorry, seriously, in NJ, that sandwich is called a sloppy joe?

Research done. In Jersey, ANY sandwich with cole slaw is called a Sloppy Joe. Retuckinfarded.

Lake trout is not exactly my people's food. I've eaten it, not a fan.

A sloppy joe is the laziest man's chili between slices of bread.

New Jersey is fucking stupid. And smells like shit.

Yeungling is marginally better than the Buds of the world but slightly less than Sam Adams or the other meh "craft" beers.

If Yeungling is priced on par with Bud and other macro brews, that is right where it should be. Taste and quality wise, it is exactly on point with Bud, Keystone, Natty Ice, Milwaukee's Best and the like. That said, I have an unnatural love for Milwaukee's Best, I'll confess to that, but you will never catch me saying it is a good beer. I know my love is irrational based on childhood memories and from drinking it so horribly skunked that a fresh Beast tastes immaculate. (We hid them outside for weeks at a time in all seasons, stockpiling when we could get a purchaser. There is nothing remotely "craft" or "micro" in the taste. It is mass produced swill, plain and simple. There is very little flavor, and nothing remotely unique to call it craft. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used adjunct grains to cut costs. (Crap beers use corn, rice and other beers to cut the barley, as they are cheaper grains, and taste is secondary to cost).

that's it Syb.. next time you come over, bring your own beer... Yuengling is my go to beer on a regular basis. not my favorite, but for $14 a case at costco.. can't go wrong.

Yeungling is like Milwaukee's Best. My gahd.

That's obviously the New Jersey talking.

Only I would choose the Beast every damned time. I would put Yeungling over probably every other massed produced macro crap beer, unless you put Sam Adams in the category. Despite being mass produced, I keep Sierra Nevada on a different level, as they use quality ingredients and meet the "craft" beer standard. I guess you'd have to put Sam Adams with Sierra Nevada.

I like Yuengling a lot. I think it is better than Bud. But I don't have a refined palate and don't really care to. I like drinking good beer, to be sure, but if I have $10 in my pocket, I'll go for quantity over quality every time. If I am at a bar having 2-3, sure, I 'll get better beer. But for my fridge, High Life has a lifetime pass.

Yep. I don't care how long I live in North Jersey, I will never call that sandwich a sloppy joe.

And the other half are named Nntti Aiemi. It's a very confusing country.

Finnish names are very entertaining. Sometimes they just look like the parents grabbed random Scrabble tiles and arranged them into a name.

Conversation with my friend Cynthia the other night...

Her: Yeah, I had my genome analyzed. As it turns out, I'm 2.5% Neanderthal.

Me: Really? You don't come off as Neanderthal at all!

Post by **Shirley** » Thu May 30, 2013 2:54 pm

You said Neanderthal with a "t" sound instead of "th" didn't you?

(and I think all Europeans have some Neanderthal in us. We fucked them. Africans don't have Neanderthal genes.)

I was, and still am, under the impression that all human life originated in Africa.

KT explosion pushed a bunch of us up to Europe like 60,000 years ago where we apparently got busy with some Neanderthals. This is also where we turned white from having to survive an Ice Age...something to do with Vitamin D and lack of sun.

Alternatively, they may have forgotten to bring the sports equipment.

It was the Ice Age, so they only brought the skates and sticks.
