I honestly don't care one way or the other. I don't think someone's behavior on an internet forum will change no matter what name they use to post. Good people are good people and jerks are jerks, no matter what name they use.

aka dog food for people that don't love their pets

I don't think it's even good enough for a dog.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you shouldn't buy fancy equipment (lord knows I have more then I need).  What I am saying is that the reason should be because it adds to your enjoyment of the hobby, not because you think you need it in order to make good beer.

It's like trying anything new. There is no way you are going to be great at it the first time you do it.

I'm sure he'll be good someday, it's just way to early for me.

I know he was great as a Gator, but he's in the bigs now.

I think he could be great someday, but he's got a ways to go.

I mean, they barely beat Miami.

I don't get why everyone is so worked up about Tebow.

I spent a lot of my childhood listening to polka. My dad must have had a thousand polka tapes. He spent a lot of time cruising in the motor home blasting the polka. He was also in a polka band for a while. After he died, my three brothers and I all inherited an accordion.

As an audio professional for over 45 years, I sometimes cringe at some of the things in the high end consumer audio world.  Some of it is great and well thought out.  But a lot of it is just snake oil.

A wealthy friend of mine has a six-figure sound system that he mostly uses to listen to rare old vinyl. It's very cool and it does sound good, but I personally can't hear a reason for it to cost so much. He even has a gizmo to uh, "filter" the electricity that powers it.

Interesting article I guess, but it was mostly lost on me since I almost never listen to any music made after 1983 or so.

Lady Gaga seems like a good kid tho.

All Things Food / Re: Making Hot Sauce

« on: September 27, 2011, 06:23:17 PM »

I grow a lot of hot peppers, but I just dry them for winter use.

Making sauce would be a good way to control the dosage. Probably easier on my poor finger tips too. Touch the wrong part of the pepper while chopping them...... ouch.

Sorry to hear about the layoff, but I'm sure she'll get something else soon.

Here in the NYC area, almost every woman I know under 40 has one of those tats. No biggie. It seems to be the modern version of getting your ears pierced.

I tried this many times when I started. It worked great about 95% of the time, but the other 5% was not fun at all.
