IN today's globally intertwined marketplace,,

If this beer recipe is really that good..

They'd be rolling in the dough and loaded in no time,, and so would all their customers, I reckun. ;-)

I may have had a bit of mead at some time.

Lagers and pales are my preference.

Oh, that is silliness.

I don't know, but I think history teaches us that beer drinkers rule, red wine drinkers drool.

It's the John Waynes that make a dent, not the metro John Kerrys. I fear the day that changes.

Hummm. The German's drank beer, the French drank red wine. Certainly explains the early outcome of WWII.

This guy may be on to something. Never underestimate the power of Pabst's, Stroh's and Rolling Rock. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Certainly explains how the war ended the way it did.

--> Actually, the Germans also had 'Speed' and other drugs they used while drinking LOL.

Or the ancient Egyptian version:

"99 rough hewn ceramic jars of beer in the mortuary, 99 rough hew ceramic jars of beer..."

It just rolls off the tongue so easily, too...

Those must have been Hank Hill's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather's beer jars.

"Yep."

"Yep."

"Mmm-hmmm"

"Uh-huh"
