    I always say "Joint charity event through work." Or "Randomly met them in line at the Tucker Max book signing." Depends on how far you want to go. I thought keeping a happy marriage was about lying?

    You guys have to lie about meeting other Idiots on here? That sucks. I didn't really have to for the meet-up. My wife thought it was odd to meet a bunch of strangers on the internet 100 miles away to get wasted on my birthday, but on the other hand she knows about this place and her only real question was "Are you guys going to be as rude to people in public as you guys are on that board?" (she lurks on here and read the entire Ryan Milliron debacle) To which my answer was "One can hope."

    I wouldn't necessarily have to lie about it, I would just choose to. My husband has met a couple of girls that I have met on message boards in the past who lived locally, and he was fine about it. But he isn't a message boarder/internetter and I just don't know if he would think it odd that I am talking to males on the internet and arranging to meet them on our only solo vacation this year. He is about as easy going as can be, but why chance it?

    And to be honest, I don't really want him to read the stuff here. He'd probably be appalled at what passes as humor and wonder why there are all these dirty pictures (keep in mind he isn't familiar with message boards so hasn't been indoctrinated into such things)

    Eh, no harm no foul. Of course, I probably would have looked silly to my wife if they all stabbed me to death at the meet-up after I was going there visibly without a worry.

    Man, if Blue Moon is your benchmark for good American beers, you've got a world of delights ahead of you. Fat Tire is mediocre; it's okay, but it doesn't have a lot of flavor. I think that's why it's popular - like Budweiser, there's not enough taste to offend anyone, but it has the association with microbreweries. That makes it boutique enough to people who want to appear snobby.

    I'm not saying people shouldn't like it - we all have different tastes. But let's not suffer the illusion that it's in the heights of brewing achievement.

    Stone Brewing makes a lot of big, bold beers that are in national distribution. Bell's Brewing, also in national distribution, makes some excellent but more mellow/refined beers - their Two Hearted Ale might be one of the best IPAs around. Sierra Nevada is a huge brewery, but also has tasty brews especially if you like hops. Lagunitas and Bear Republic (which is my favorite) are harder to find but still distribute nationally and make awesome stuff.

    That's not even getting into the local breweries.

    Don't really remember posting that, my roommate in this hotel found me in the lobby bathroom pretty much passed out. Winner!

    As for global microbreweries (thats kind of an oxymoron) check out Flying Dog and Southern Tier as well, Flying Dog is my absolute favorite and Southern Tier has a lot of solid offerings.

    Lego shields fit nicely inside bottle caps if you want to glue them together; cocktail swords fit their hands (a little loose but close enough). So, I want to figure out a nice drinking game that makes use of this. I think most drinking games are stupid; derpa derpa drink! I want to make a game that's actually fun to play, not just a way of randomizing alcohol distribution. I'm thinking something like DotA. Start out with a 3-6 pieces, move around the board killing monsters, get loot, buy upgrades (bottlecap shields and cocktail swords), then kill the other guy's pieces and make him drink.

    It'd be pretty simple to have randomized monsters each time. Just get a set of cheap plastic poker chips. On the white pieces write the monster's strength, on blue how much cash it drops, and the red pieces will be mostly blank but some will have special abilities you can use later, like get back a hit point, or place a section of wall on the board. Just turn them face down, mix them up, and put a white, blue and red chip under each monster.

    Where I'm stuck now is the fighting mechanics. Could be sort of like Stratego, just higher number wins, with the other guy only seeing the monster strength if you won. Or something dice based, with upgrades giving you better dice to roll? I like the Button Men dice mechanics, but it might slow the game down too much. If you win, you get the loot, if you lose your guy loses a hit point and you take a drink; guy loses all 3 hitpoints and you take a bigger drink.

    I'm also trying to figure out what common bar stuff would work well as pieces for the game. Anything that would work well for a helmet or cape, or something I can use to represent monsters other than other lego figures.

    What good is having a woman if you don't have lego-based drinking games to play together?

    Yuck. Just found out Ernest Borgnine died. For some reason, this one bothers me more than anything since Sidney Lumet's death in April of 2011. In fact, I am way more saddened and annoyed by this than I was by Michael Jackson's death.

    Borgnine was a fantastic actor and a witty and unique personality. He starred in everything from "Martin" to Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "Baseketball". More than that, I always thought it was really fucking cool that this old-school, badass actor was still alive and kicking.

    I will leave you with a couple of his great quotes;

    Ernest on Women's Rights: "They tried it the wrong way. You can't expect anyone to take you seriously if you burn your undies and tell me I'm a pig. That's why it failed. Too many ugly broads telling me that they don't want to sleep with me. Who wanted you anyway?"

    Ernest on his longevity: "I masturbate a lot."

    When somebody reaches the ripe old age of 95, when they pass, I celebrate their life rather than mourn their death. The most recent death that got me was MCA because I expect he could have done so much more if he had lived. And while nobody can know what a public figure is like behind closed doors, I expect that he was a really decent person. And this may be an unpopular sentiment, but Michael Jackson was a child molester so I can't say that I was saddened or annoyed by his death. No denying his talent or influence, obviously, but on a human level, I couldn't muster up a ton of emotion. I suppose I was more saddened and annoyed at what he had become.

    Very true, which is why my emotions about Borgnine's death were a bit strange. There was just something remarkable and refreshing about a legend like him continuing to live and breathe in the same world as the rest of us.

    I just hope Eli Wallach continues living for at least a few more years...

    It's sad. He'll always be the tough cop on vacation with a cougar for a wife, Rosen, from The Poseidon Adventure. I don't know if he just like being on set or he needed the money but it seemed like the dude NEVER stopped working. I've soured on Basketball a little bit, it doesn't hold up like I remember. Plus he was again a bit player in the shittiest comedy of the decade Strange Wilderness. But he had a career that spanned more than six decades.


    A side note. I saw a great doc a while back on The Poseidon Adventure fanatics. I knew it was a cult classic. I loved it growing up. But there are some hilariously sad people who love this movie. I remember one guy they interviewed made a version of it at his house featuring a tidal wave made of large handbags. You see this man compulsively collected women's handbags, and, loved the movie.

    Also, best upside down boat falling guy ever:

    Given that I assume your husband to be a heterosexual man, I can practically guarantee that the presence of dirty pictures would not be the confusing thing about this place.

    Um, but Ernest Borgnine was a world famous actor. You're a "budding" web-preneur. So, get laid first, then masturbate to your continued success.
