INKSTAND

It had Stan wearing these pilot goggles saying “please let me do this one thing just this once” and the Randy yells and smashes his head into a china cabinet. Good stuff.

Since I don’t have cable I watch TV with the bunny ears. South Park comes on at eleven, then comes Drew Carry, Becker, Cosby, then by 2:00, Girlfriends is on. This show is syndicated now, that’s how I watch it, but I didn’t know it was still in primetime. Apparnetly it is.
So these two friends are fighting, something horrible happens to one of them, and they build up to them forgiving each other. At first they make light of the suffering of the one, but then get really melodramatic at the end, with a church and a choir and a big if-you-cant-forgive-me-maybe-jesus-will deal. This show is a soap opera with a laugh track.
Will I watch it again?…as long as I’m staying up until 3 am.

First of all the picture is NOT me!! I got it from Austrailia’s ABC site. But it may as well be. I look almost exactly like that, but I’m harier. As I said before, I had recently lost ten pounds. I weighed myself tonight and I have gained six of them back. I don’t care if I’m fat, I just wish it would distribute itself more throughout my body. As far as beer bellies go, this one is an emerging star.

Here’s the problem with this review : I’m not sure what REAL crab tastes like. But I’ve had crab cakes, the kind in fried wanton, and other brands of imitation crab. So i’m an expert now.
Anyway, the main fish substance in imitaion crab is pollock, wich I’m sure is some bottom feeding shit-eater. oh, well, I like pork products and that can’t be much better. There is also crab flavoring, artificial colors and eggs. There are more ingredients, but I don’t care about that.
The cost of this sample of fake crab was $8.99/lb, but at .27 lbs I paid less than $3. I got it at Ken’s market in Queen Anne. If you know me, you know why. The kind I got before was from Safeway and was aquired on usually ony drunken or stoned nights, so I have little recolection of the ingredients or price, but it must have been cheap if KC and I were eating it.
As you may have guessed, the faux crab I got tonight was like any other faux crab I’ve had. It was flaky, it had this smooth buttery tase to it, it only tases good on a wheat thin…but the texture unfortunatley was more…textured. It was rougher. There’s something bittersweet about eating imitation crab by itself..it’s kinda good. It’s kinda gross. Sadly, this enhanced texture intensified the gross part a little (intensified a little?).
Would I buy it again…Not to like, impress a date or anything, but like I said…drunken stoned nights.

22 oz. bottle, 7.9% abv
Dark Red, hoppy,sweet, and sharp.
I’d but it again if I was going to a party at the home of someone I knew if I knew there’d be a lot of people there I didn’t know. I guess that’s the recomended occasion, but there are many options in that instance.

This beer is expensive, first of all. It goes at my work for about $10 a six-pack. I paid $1.99 for the one bottle. Like I said in my last beer thing “If I know what hoppy means…” this beer is hoppy on ten. As the aftertase faded, I swore I could taste foliage. It’s strong: 9.6%. I would buy it again, but not very often.

I can’t go into it right now, but they get, like, ten stars. Now an infomercial about depression is on…stay tuned….

I am currently 1/2 way through my second bottle of “1554 Brussels style black ale”. The copy on the bottle says: “certainly black with taosted maltiness, this ale is not a stout or porter. Rather this dark’s secret to quaffability lies in it’s bright acidity from the yeast and alluring spicy undertones” I only recently stopped drinking beer just to drink, and started tasting it. So i’ll do my best.
Bright acidity…check.
spicy undertones…check.
I must say the beer is very tasty. I’m not sure if I know exactly what “hoppy” means, but if im right, it’s not very. It goes down smooth, but its kind of sweet. The sweetness worries me only because I’ve had New Belgum’s Bier(Beir?) de Mars which was also tasy and sweet, but the sweetness leads to headachness. We’ll see how that pans out, but as it stands I would buy this beer again.
Should I have some sort of point system or scale? thumbs up, thumbs down? I don’t know yet.
