[Fire Walk With Me]

4. Filtered tap water.

And lots of it.

[fizzgig]

10. i should probably have some water

:hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

44. A hangover is mostly dehydration. Slam water after you finish the beer.

(I never said so but any Henson fan is a friend of mine! I love Fizgig, and loved that part of the film.)

[supernova]

13. Red wine

:9 :9

[fizzgig]

17. what kind?

i lurves me some red wine :9

[supernova]

20. Redwood Zinfandel 2004

I new somebody would make me get up and go get the bottle. :D

My favorite is the dark dry oaky smokey reds and this one is very close to that.

[fizzgig]

24. that sounds damn tasty

i don't have much experience with zinfandels, but i really like what i've tried

[supernova]

28. I normally like Cabs and Sirahs

but this is pretty good.

[Inchworm]

14. Beer now...

Tallboy Buds.

But in a bit I am gonna test a cheap wine lol. Yellow Tail Shiraz/Genash... we'll see :P

:hi:

:toast:

[fizzgig]

21. what is it about tallboys that makes them so awesome?

i usually keep a couple of pbr or high life tall boys in the fridge

[Inchworm]

35. I havent figured it out

but the regular ones are sooo tiny in my hand! hehe

oh, and you dont have to the fridge so much :)

:hi:

[fizzgig]

40. fewer trips is good

but you gotta drink faster so that it doesn't get all nasty

[libodem]

16. that's it I'm going to the store

Just remember it's all your fault. I can't take it any more. Maybe some Zima or flavored malt liquor drink. It's almost too hot for wine and I'm not a beer drinker. I can't take my crabby self anymore. Must. Drink. Now.

[fizzgig]

23. can you get woodchuck hard cider there?

i love that stuff. perfect for hot weather

[libodem]

81. I don't think so

I got Mike's hard lime. They taste pretty okay.

[flvegan]

27. Stella? Where the hell is Tyler Durden?

I owd TD for turning me on to Stella. STEELLLLLLLAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I'm drinking a couple Amstel Lights tonight.

[fizzgig]

31. i first encountered stella during a drunken night in glasgow

many years ago

i have loved it ever since

[flvegan]

38. Your subject title would have been the PERFECT opening

to the next Dr. Evil explanation of something.

[fizzgig]

43. unfortnately i am not as cool as dr. evil

and have nothing to follow up with

[LeftyMom]

36. Water. Last night's dinner was amstel light and pistachios because I hadn't bought groceries

so tonight I'm doing the whole not being a lazy bum thing.

[fizzgig]

37. i thought i was the only one who had dinners like that

good to know i have company :)

[LeftyMom]

47. It was too hot to make dinner, we were out of bottled water and our tap stuff has rocket fuel in it,

so I had to make do. :shrug:

I would have gone to the store, but the kid's sick so taking him around to spread contagion isn't the best idea ever.

[fizzgig]

62. nothing wrong with making due

is the kiddo feeling any better?

[LeftyMom]

63. He's got the chicken pox. He doesn't feel bad but he's contagious.

Right now he's watching Mythbusters so he's feeling pretty great.

[JVS]

39. the champagne of beers

[fizzgig]

42. excellent

[Deja Q]

45. Enough to make me feel better

:P

[fizzgig]

49. ...

:P

[Left Is Write]

46. Blue Moon.

[fizzgig]

51. i don't know that i've ever had that

what kind of beer is it?

[Left Is Write]

67. It's a wheat ale.

Not the greatest or most flavorful of brews, but not bad.

[fizzgig]

71. wheat ales are my favorite

i rotate among four brewed here in town (they're all so damn tasty), that's probably why i've never had blue moon. i've seen it on tap here, so maybe i'll try it next time i go out

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. My dear kagehime!

Just some plain old aitch two oh......

And some wonderful dark chocolate hand-made by a dear friend of mine...:9

[fizzgig]

53. mmmm

dark chocolate :9

how are you tonight dear peggy?

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. I am good, sweetie...

But tired....

Spent several hours today at the California Democratic Congress...

Got to hear Dennis Kucinich speak!

But now I'm worn out, and happily resting here, talking to you ....:hug:

[fizzgig]

64. sounds like you had a busy day

how was the congress?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. It was moderately busy...

My day, that is...

I had to get up earlier than I like (7AM!), so that contributed to my fatigue...

The congress was good...lots of workshops!

I went to one, the one on whether or not impeachment was a good idea...

[fizzgig]

68. sounds like it was a lot of fun

even if you had to get up so early :P

[WindRavenX]

50. just finished a bottle of yellow tail

feelin good

[fizzgig]

54. what kind did you have?

[WindRavenX]

57. Chardonnay

yessire

tempted to start on the Stoli...

[yellowdogintexas]

52. Stella as in Artois? I love that beer. I went to a beer tasting and tour of a brewery today

with my sunday school class. The Rahr Brewery in Ft Worth and the beer was good.

[fizzgig]

58. the one and only

this beer is damn good

[Haole Girl]

55. I wasn't going to drink tonight, but....

...well, after making a fool out of myself, over nothing, a little while ago, I'm having some Mint Chocolate Bailey's... to sort of, well, lick my wounds.

[fizzgig]

59. hope you feel better

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

61. Hey... yeah...

I'm all warm and fuzzy now... thanks for the hug! :hug:

[XemaSab]

60. red tail ale

brewed in mendo :D

[fizzgig]

66. mendo = mendocino county?

if yes, yay for locally brewed beers!

also, i have a cousin there and i think it's some of the most beautiful country i've ever seen

[XemaSab]

83. yes indeed

Mendo is some sweet countryside.

My relatives from Ukiah were visiting, and I decided to get them a taste of home. :D

[fizzgig]

85. my cousin is near ukiah

we didn't get to see her last time we were on the coast, i was very sad

[bridgit]

69. green tea, dahling, but of course we're recuperating for tommorw...

http://www.myspace.com/sacbadlands Big Luau!!

[fizzgig]

72. have fun tomorrow!

:hi:

[bridgit]

73. yes'im, that's very much part if the plan...

;)

[Omphaloskepsis]

70. Goldschlager and Milwaukee's Best Ice..

I envision a fantastic morning.

[fizzgig]

74. never had goldschlager

at least not on by itself, i'm sure i've had it in mixed shots

[laylah]

75. too much?

[fizzgig]

76. too much what?

i still have a few left

[tigereye]

77. sangria we made last week

we should have taken the fruit out, though. It has a bit of a "rindy" taste.

[fizzgig]

78. yet another drink i've never had

that's the wine and fruit thing, right?

[tigereye]

79. it's very good when made correctly...

the taste of the limes and red wine is heavenly IMO.

[fizzgig]

80. that sounds like it would be heavenly

:9

[Wapsie B]

82. Leiny's Creamy Dark

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

[fizzgig]

84. is that a beer?

[Wapsie B]

86. Yes it is.

It's actually called Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark Lager.

Called Leinies for short.


http://www.leinie.com/welcome.html

[fizzgig]

87. i'm not a fan of dark beers

but the 'mix it up' part makes it sound very tasty

[Wapsie B]

88. Yes it is very tasty.

Dark beers, Ales, and Stouts are an acquired taste for many people. I'll drink the regular Miller or Bud Lager but sometimes it's nice to have a whole different flavor with beer, especially with local brews. One thing I love to do is to sample the wares at brew pubs and micro-breweries if I travel to a different area.

[fizzgig]

89. have you visited northern colorado?

we make damn good beer here

[Wapsie B]

90. No I have not but I'd love to.

Is there a good micro-brewery there?

[fizzgig]

91. three of them

plus two brew pubs

one of the brew pubs is a chain and not so good, but the other is pretty damn good

fat tire is probably our best known beer (even tho i can't stand it)

[Wapsie B]

92. So that's where they make Fat Tire.

I've heard of that brew a lot around here. I've never tried it though, but I certainly would love to get my hands on some. I love fresh brewed beer in small batches. I hope they have some good ones in New Mexico next week.

[fizzgig]

93. i know nothing of new mexico beers

but good luck
