Gaius Octavius Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Thrice Nay Sirrah, I am the Subject of Her Most Excellent Majesty , Queen Elizabeth the Second. God Save the Queen! sundry "huzzahs" and gorging of foods and expensive wines, smashing of furniture and such. Do I detect another thread about to go into Absurdist Mode? Or are we all Situationalists here? Just asked a simple question for my edification. No need to go into hysterics, old boy. "Yankees" was I think a Native American mispronounciation of the french word "Anglais", which ofcourse means "English"! Native American! :2guns: Right or wrong with that English stuff, have a care my dear fellow. Have a care! :sniper: Edited July 20, 2006 by Gaius Octavius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docoflove1974 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 First...what about those of us from the Left Coast? We need representation, too, dammit. We're not Yankees, nor Rebels...we're golden, dude Second...because of the heat (it's actually going to be about 90'F here, just south of San Francisco!), I feel a pitcher of sangria coming on. Beer would be great, but seeing as I'm the only one to drink it...eh, I'm in a giving mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Bel 'e mom: Last time I looked Kali4kneeya is beyond the Hudson River. You weren't leftout.

Pertinax Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 May I mention that if you switch to the "Brewery and Brewery Pubs menu " on the TNOG site , then scroll down to "Twice Brewed ", here is a possible centre for an excursion along Hadrian's Wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have been moved to post a small item regarding "Gonzo Imperial Porter" ( with prestigious embellishment and editing by the learned Pantagathus) ,perhaps this should be our "mascot" beer?

Pertinax Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 perhaps this should be our "mascot" beer? I thought Gulden Draak already was? So many beers....so difficult a moral choice.... I suggest we have a long term testing programme to determine a hierarchy of acceptable Romanophile vine and grain beverages.About 10 years, with consumption by a panel of specially selected persons, should give us a statistically useful database, and we would be performing a valuable service to both learning and culture.

Primus Pilus Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 While on vacation around Letchworth, NY I discovered two beers previously unknown to me. (ahh the joys of small breweries). Saranac Black Forest is a dark and robust black bavarian style beer. Damn good stuff! I wasn't quite as impressed by Yuengling's Traditional Amber but it was quite good. Since it also has the distinction of apparantly being America's oldest brewery it is certainly worth a taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
