    Rabbits hop, family hops...sunny day and watch out for that tree, Miz Holly ma'am... For Mark, a song from the good ol ABB: The gypsy flies from coast to coast, Knowing many, loving none, Bearing sorrow, having fun. But, back home he'll always run, To sweet Melissa. Mmmm-hmmm. Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same. And no one knows the gypsy's name, And no one hears his lonely sighs, There are no blankets where he lies. Lord, in his deepest dreams the gypsy flies, With sweet Melissa. Mmmm-hmmm. Again, the mornin's come. Again, he's on the run. A sunbeam's shinin through his hair. Fear not to have a care. Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on. Roll on. Crossroads, will you ever let him go? Lord, Lord. Or will you hide the dead man's ghost? Or will he lie, beneath the clay? Or will his spirit float away? But, I know that he won't stay, Without Melissa. Yes, I know that he won't stay, yeah, Without Melissa. Lord, Lord, it's all the same. Mmmmm-hmmmmm. Songwriters: ALAIMO, STEPHEN / ALLMAN, GREGG You all have a nice ride today...peace and love!

TOTALLY !! That was my big high school beer. Unbreakable cardboard cases - remember those suckers? Huge, thick, green bottles. Then we used to slam Rolling Rocks and argue what the "33" meant. That, by the way, one of the true mystery questions of life...

Funny...Yeungling (America's oldest brewery in Pottstown, PA - o/s of Philly) was always a junk, cheap beer back in the day. Now it's chique, trendy and expensive. I'm a Stella man...beer, I say beer that is, boy...

Are you sure the green bottles are brewed south of the border? The (terrible) stuff in the brown bottles was and is brewed in my old home town (London) - also would not drink it knowing where that plant is built...and what it is built on - and half the people that work there...remember, Labatt's used to allow their workers to pull beers off the line and drink on the job...hell they used to have beer vending machines in the break room that were free...ah the 80's now there is H&S to deal with...now they put a weekly 24 on your paycheck.

The green bottles were what we used to send across the border - had an alcohol content of like 3% and tasted more like water or Coor's light than beer...Brown bottles were domestic and had an alcohol content of 5%. These tasted like they were recycled beers from the night before...D-Town only ever had the greenies...they MAY have stopped that practice after they were bought by the Dutch and then bought again by the Brazilians...who knows anymore - never touch the stuff myself. Boo where you from?

Stubbies going waaaaay back. The death of the stubby is a sad story...interesting that upstate NY got the domestic stuff...even in Europe I always saw the green bottles...gave an already bad beer an even worse international reputation. In any event, I soooo would not recommend Labatt's under any circumstances. You CAN still get stubbies from a small brewer in Waterloo ON...Red Cap beer. The lager is kinda crap, but the Waterloo Dark is pretty decent. I always bought it when I was in Ontario just for the stubbies and the sentimental value. That and Labatt's and Molson, together killed the stubby.

Mmmmmmm.....beer. I grew up in Hamilton Ontario and I always drank Lakeport. I don"t know if its still around. It was piss but it was cheap. I've moved on to better since. Stella, Keiths, Rickards. But really...nothing beats a pint of Guinness. "These peanuts are making me thirsty."On a side note, did anyone see that catch Kevin Pillar made last night against the Rays? I nearly shit myself.

When she gets home from work in the future. My sister is here doing laundry and she does say "Hiiii." She is one of the three I was trying to score SC tickets for (including me), and she is the closes thing I have to a significant other - "You are obsessed" she literally said to me 8 minutes ago. "You should come with me to the lot in Santa Clara," I then said. "I probably will," she said, haha. Her heart knows a good thing ;) I grabbed my computer Tony. It was at my place - next town over. Dead.net is o-k on my phone, not great. It's a beautiful day here in California. It's my day off and I am cruising (as we say in Hawaii). With a little launders mixed innit.

This fits in so well with the beginning of my story, which I've told in brief to Tony via email... this time I will be there. All the years combine <3 ps. rrrgrrr you get the jist.

I finally found this forum,..it was a task for me,.. I'm severely sleep deprived and this Santa Clara Ticket fiasco has got me almost to the point that Klang was over Chicago. It's keeping me awake at night. I was supposed to see these shows with my Friend from Venezuela, He's in Texas now and as bummed as I am. I know I'm listed on the spreadsheet as not going, but it should say needs 2 tix for each night. but 1 is a start,...thanks for any and all help, I have you all in mind as well,.. been scouring cash or trade,...ebay,...etc...looking for any face value anywhere. If I score I will share the wealth as well. I'm in PA., and Ca. is a lot of travel without at least one ticket. preferably a saturday so I have time to look for a sunday while there, as well as a cheap flighht and shelter. Muchos Garcias!

anyone have natty bo from Baltimore? (not natty lite but probably similar quality). friend just dropped off Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Commodore Perry IPA. wow! GLBC is the best unknown brewery IMHO. Yuengling...it is too bad it got chic. I always thought it was good everyday brew, reasonably priced. Not anymore...the pricing. still a decent brew but not cheap. looking forward to sipping a few with SDers in Chi in 73-ish days.

Haha yes. There are so many fun strings in the ball of yarn that's my name here. and MKAV - there is a forum on here for people to commune about their brews. I think it's called what's in your fridge? Not that this isn't a fine place to speak of such things. Of course it is. It's a fine place. Period.
