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. Although I have been remiss in my hosting duties, I have returned for at least this one night. Why? You may ask. Because it is fucking fun to beer blog, and you guys are a cool bunch.
This formerly weekly series [used to be posted Friday nights around 7PM CST, sorry about the prolonged absence] 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 to occupy my time conversing with like minded beer and wine aficionados, and get my drunk on.
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 (most of the time) by an additional number of questions that change every FNBB regarding other crap.
Okay, grab a bottle opener and follow me below the fold.
- 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 Miller'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.
Okay, new 6-10. I know, crazy huh? I'm feeling productive this evening.
- Did the Whitehouse effectively muzzle Bernie Sanders' amendment, or is it still a good step forward?
- Do you think, as I do, that the Dems are being overly defeatist with respect to the 2010 mid-terms?
.
- Would you please run to the fridge for me and grab me another Stella?
- Do Geithner, Summers and Rubin need to go now, or can they wait until morning?
- Are you pissed that we decided to allow evidence that Canada said was aquired illegally in a fucking show trial?
- Can I get a 'what what' for returning to FNBB?
- Without counting, how many seperate questions did I actually ask in the this nights beer blog? I ran up the tally in 6-10 a bit.

Update: I promised to prove that I too have been known at times to drink crap beer. Here is the proof:
