Welcome, my malted barley brethren to Friday Night Beer Blogging. We gather here to discuss the issues of the day, but mostly we'll talk about beer.
This weekly series [posted Friday nights around 7PM CST] started because I chose Battlestar Galactica and beer over a night out. It was the perfect way to pass the time while waiting for the show to start. Sadly, BSG's finale was last week. Now, since I certainly need an excuse to keep up the series, I blog here as my DVR records Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (I've successfully transferred my obsession to Summer Glau), and Dollhouse. Eff commercials.
FNBB, has five static questions that you should answer in your first post, to get the conversation started (well I guess the beer does that, but answer them anyway damnit). These are followed by an additional five questions that change every week regarding other crap.
Okay, grab a bottle opener and follow me below the fold. Also, don't say you're drinking cans. If you are then just make up a name for the 'microbrew' you're drinking. Seriously, if we haven't heard of it (perhaps because it doesn't exist) we'll think it's something special.
- What are you drinking, and if it's prune juice, try a fiber suppliment instead? It tastes way less gross.
- Did you tell anyone you had plans, just so you could hang out on DKos?
- How early did you skip out of work this afternoon?
- Are you going to be fixated on your computer monitor all weekend (as I'm sure I will be), or are you going to do anything interesting? If so, what is it?
- What's your reason for beer blogging tonight?
h/t to a consistant Friday post on Rich Meyer's Capitol Fax Blog, who's title was so excellent, I borrowed it, but I think I'm still good with fair use, because I added night.
Now onto the good stuff.
- I don't want to harsh your buzz, but can someone just start a revolution against anyone named Bachman? I mean seriously, economic Marxism (as opposed to what other kind? Ass!), and orderly revolution (um bit of an oxymoron, but if you meant peaceful, then thanks, we had one last November)?
- Michael Steele for Prez? Remember he's black like Obama, just like Simple Sarah was a woman, just like Hillary.
- On a scale of one to ten rate my elitist anti-canism/anti-beer-snob snobbery (for it's snark, not it's assholery).
- Fuck Michelle Bachman! Okay, I just had to get that out. Do you want to say it with me?
- Finally, if this is your first time at Beer Blog, you have to drink. More of a demand, but do you FNBB'ers think this should be a rule? There, I fixed it.
Prepare your bottles and drink hearty, for tonight we dine at Denny's!
