Except for Obama, who's score is always higher than Bush's. I guess people want to feel smarter than Bush but want to admire Obama. Maybe the scores get switched on right-wing websites.Quote:

I have Dos Equis at home, and am excited to get there and drink one with dinner.
I wouldn't say I'm excited to get home and swig some V8 Fusion with my dinner, but I'm certainly anticipating it as a helpful bump to overcome the feelings produced by my current work.
Come to think of it, I don't get too awfully excited about many future drinks in my immediate future.
This makes me a little ashamed.
I lied. I had a Blue Moon instead. Went well with the spaghetti.Quote:

I could never bring myself to drink something called "Blue Moon".
I'm just surprised KF is allowed to drink beer. Is Blue Moon one of those no alcohol varieties?
Blue Moon is not beer. If it is served with a slice of fruit, it is not beer.
Well, not one I'm drinking anyway.
It's Belgian wheat ale. You should reconsider.Quote:

Why would I, when I can get manly beer with names such as Leffe, Duvel, Stella Artois and Hoegaerden?Quote:

It's not Belgian. It's Belgian style. It's bottled in Colorado. And you don't order it with fruit. In fact, I've been several places where there is no orange. Unfortunately, some places think it's necessary, which is a waste of a perfectly good orange.Quote:

Blue Moon is good indeed, but try Hacker-Pschorr. You'll never go back.Quote:

Why the hell would you even tell people you're Belgian?Quote:

People saying they are a something when they weren't born there is really peculiar to me. I think it might be a specifically American thing, New Zealanders just call themselves New Zealanders.Quote:
