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.
So, the title... I need someone to fill in in two weeks. My friend's getting married, and wouldn't you know it, I have to like be there, and stuff. Who wants the gig? Anyone interested just let me know.
This weekly series [posted Friday nights around 7PM CST] started because I stayed in to watch Battlestar Galactica, and I needed to pass some time while waiting for it to start. Now, since I certainly need an excuse to keep up the series, I blog here as my DVR records Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Dollhouse. Those are the only girls I need on Friday night... Well them and themis.
FNBB, has five static questions that we'd like you to 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.
Oh, and about the cans thing... My bad, I'm drinking Boddington's Pub ale, and it only comes in 16 oz cans with the widget (so as to give it a proper creamy head). Furthermore, it's been decided that beer drinkers, wine drinkers, bourbon drinkers (I'm looking at you Droogie), and non drinkers alike are encouraged to join the festivities. BTW, for anyone who missed it we had a Wednesday night edition this week.
- 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 new stuff.
- How awesome is Iowa on a scale of 10-10? I mean first, the whitest state in America votes for Barack in the primaries, and now they acknowledge gay marriage is an equal protection issue.
- Who in the hell are we going to primary Dodd with? Not that I dislike him, but if the latest poll numbers are accurate, he's dead in the water.
- Take a peek outside. What's the temperature? If it's over 60, don't tell me.
- So some yahoo thinks we need a do-over in Alaska, just because some former Senator beat the felonies' rap on a technicality. Hmm... Those republicons (sic) sure hate democracy don't they. Anyway, how old is too old to be a Senator in your opinion?
- What country did your ancesters hail from, and I mean what are you mostly, because we're all mutts here? Is your beer from there as well?
Prepare your bottles and drink hearty, for tonight we dine at Denny's!
