It occurred to me I had admin access and was allowed to add a new category. So why not add this one? I can’t help but assume it will be of use for the foreseeable future.
This is my review of Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR):
Meanwhile in Canada: In order to reduce the likelihood of negative health outcomes, the Canadian Center Centre for Substance Abuse and Addiction suggest reducing alcohol consumption to two drinks per week. Preferably zero. This is surprising news to Americans who are conditioned to believe the misconception of Canadian beer effectively being repackaged moonshine.
The data suggested more than six drinks a week (84 grams of alcohol) puts an individual at high risk of developing significant health issues. Three to six drinks a week poses a moderate health risk.
The typical alcoholic beverage (a beer, an average glass of wine, a cocktail) contains approximately 14 grams of alcohol. One drink per day would work out to 98 grams of consumption per week.
Risks associated with moderate consumption include different types of cancers, including breast and colon cancer. The guidance suggests the upper limits of more the six drinks a week carry an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
I have a funny feeling a fair number of you exceeded six drinks before noon today.
Meanwhile…in Canada: Heroin and crack were decriminalized, and there is now a shop opening in British Columbia to sell both.
The shop will be called The Drug Store and customers will b—
Stop. Stop. Stop.
The Drug Store? Canadian Glibs if you’re out there, help me out. I’m not asking to come up with a euphemism to call this establishment, but there has to be a more marketable name than The Drug Store.
SLD: I am happy somebody finally made legal crack accessible for sale to the general public, and I will not judge Hunter Biden for applying for Canadian citizenship once he learns of this.
Relax, I was making bratwurst so I didn’t drink the entire can. I require three 12oz cans of beer to simmer the brats, so technically I drank half of one of these Yusef sized, 24oz cans. One of you check my math.
It always troubled me they keep promoting this blue ribbon they won in 1895. Its like the old guy at the country club that won the club golf tournament in 1973 and won’t let anybody forget it. This is flat, skunky and pretty much awful if it achieves a temperature exceeding 55 degrees or 12.7 degrees for our Canadian friends. Still, it has its place. Pabst Blue Ribbon: 1.9/5 4.7% abv.
I was told there would be no math.
You left a first joke wide open though.
Sir
There is no joking with regards to Firsting.
Yet, here you appear.
Don’t call me sir, pal.
Americans who are conditioned to believe the misconception of Canadian beer effectively being repackaged moonshine.
There is no misconception. I have drunk the Molson Black Death, and barely lived to tell the tale.
I prefer Labatt’s
Labatt’s is OK. Kokanee is better.
Labatt’s is one of the best cheap beers. Practically grew up on it.
Practically or actually?
Indubitably.
I think I accidentally went full Ted’S on you. I meant to infer you were a drunk, not misusing words.
If you went full Ted S., you would have linked to some good music.
I would have guessed you grew up on Genny Cream Ale or something horrid like that.
Nah, just meant college.
My stepfather drank Genny by the case. I… didn’t frequently partake.
Meh
Triple X ain’t shit.
Good Lord. Does it come with a ride home?
They come in 40 ml (1.35 ounce) bottles. So roughly the same alcohol as a full pint at 5% ABV.
And people buy it? For that kind of money I can buy a shot of fantastic liquor.
For the novelty. Plus, they’re probably already drunk.
I ordered two bottles (one for me, one to share). It’s a novelty (as R C Dean says), plus after having it, I can truly claim to have tried the strongest beer in the world. It was easier to get my hands on it then Sam Adams Utopias for sure. Hell, one place several years back had an auction for an EMPTY bottle of Utopias.
“BrewDog’s own Death or Glory, an ice distilled Belgian golden ale that’s been sitting in whisky casks for 10 years.”
Want.

Don’t be such a hoser and tell the tale, hoser.
Obligatory music link
I love that song.
👍🏻🍻
A true classic song. Takes me back to the 1980’s Baboquivari Lounge and their awesome jukebox.
Which of course leads to this song.

Relax, I was making bratwurst so I didn’t drink the entire can.
Thanks for taking one for the team!
Is there a Glib medal we can pin on MS’s chest?
No…I hate to see what you all come up with
I’ll put away the bronze penis pin.

Since you showed us yours, I’ll show you mine. (Not the greatest picture, as it’s on the inside of the rim, and I didn’t feel like lying down on the wet pavement.)

Sean & GT. I should have saved a pic of of my shredded tire I got a couple months ago. I’m very lucky a good friend is a mechanic.
From a pothole? I bitched about it on Nextdoor, and some have suggested I file a claim with my township. This is me not holding my breath waiting for reimbursement for the replacement wheel I’m waiting for. 😐
I got a flat hitting a pothole once, I looked up the rules for reimbursement in Cuyahoga county:
Yeah. Like I’m going through that much fucking work for a replacement tire.
Discount Tire (where I’d bought this set – and luckily close to my office) said the tire itself was fine – it was just the wheel damaged enough that it wouldn’t seal to the tire well. They rotated it from right front to right rear so I could limp home more safely. With any luck, that very careful trip strictly on surface streets didn’t damage the tire, and if I can get it across town one more time to the wheel place when they get the replacement wheel in (Monday, they say,) I’m hoping the tire will still be OK. (Got DT’s warranty with the tires, and they’ve already replaced one that picked up a screw [NOT THAT KIND!!!])
Oh – and yes, I knew I had to drive home very carefully, which I did. I didn’t even ruin the wheel. It’s still on my truck.
I was assuming the fastener type, but if it’s not that kind, ok….
I’m sorry, GT, I should have read you post through. I wasn’t trying to pour salt on wounds.
No worries, Peng. If the wheel place my Subaru dealer referred me to wasn’t jiving with the quote they texted me, I’m only going to be out a couple hundred plus tax. And it gave me an excuse to take a few days of vacation from my across-town job right AFTER I finished with the most urgent of my year-end gotta-do’s.
No, it was (unfortunately) my own carelessness. Rubbed up again a median marker.
why are you driving a Nazi car?
It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. And I’ve had a bunch.
but did you have a Dacia Sandero
Are you James May?
I’m more of a mid market kind of guy.
“Good news!”
So who we got winning in lesser rugby?
You mean proper football?
I think the Chiefs and Iggles win today. The Bengals beat the Bills, and I think the Cowboys/49ers game is a toss up, but I lean a bit towards the Cowboys winning. The last two picks are based primarily on the play last week.
Neph – DYK – Are any of those games simulcast on the Internet?
I don’t believe so. I think you would need either an NFL+ subscription, cable, or some other streaming service. From memory, Fubo.tv shows them, and has a one week free trial.
With searching there are usually some pirate feeds going, and they’re broadcast over the air if you have an antennae.
Thx. I can get them in my area, when I can find a TV that works in my house.
I think you should be able to live-stream the audio on Westwood One.
Thx, Ted, but if it’s over the air, (seems like radio or TV), it sounds like I’m not getting it.
Try the NFL’s website. They frequently livestream as well.
Gino she’s whatever your local broadcast stations are showing, but you should goos this weekend.
Fucking phone autocorrect.
Buffalo better wake the hell up this week.
I’m concerned about the Bengals offensive line, with them suffering yet another injury last week. But Burrow has gone through most of his career with the Bengals having minimal protection.
You’re right. When they are on, they are on fire. When they’re not… 🤷♂️
The odds the ‘Boys can play that well to weeks in a row are . . . Not good.
What Purdy has done has been impressive, but the guy is a rookie. Early in the Seahawks game, he looked a bit like a rookie. Threw a pass or two that were iffy/kind of lucky.
Even Tom Brady probably doesn’t make a Super Bowl in his second season if he doesn’t get knocked out of the AFCCG against the Steelers.
Chiefs will smoke the jaguars.
🤞🏻
if the team with the QB that got picket last in the draft wins, that could be a pub quiz question in the future, should there still be pubs and quizzes in 30 years
Mr Mojeaux says LOL.
on the beer front I am drinking Hop Hooligans Evergreen Spruce tip India Pale Ale. Hop Hooligans are the most experimental craft brewer around and they try more things than most. I don’t like most of their attempts but I keep trying. This one is alright though not fab… 3.7/5

Here’s a pretty solid nut-punch that I came across:

I like the vague use of the term “confronted.” What the fuck does that mean? What threatening action did he actually take?
He was expelling carbon dioxide into the the atmosphere with every breath. He was a literal planet murderer.

That is some terrible reporting. Heaven forbid a reporter asks any clarifying questions.
This is exhibit eleventy for seriously reforming qualified immunity.
Since qualified immunity was created out of thin air by judges in the first place. Too bad he wasn’t black, it might actually make the news.
This is true. Thank goodness for cheap, available video recording. No way this guy could prove what really happened without it.
Abolish it. There is no reforming QI. The police should have the exact same guidelines as any other citizen for employing deadly force. If I can shoot an unarmed man complying with my instructions and walk away w/o a charge- they can as well. They don’t like the new rules then they can quit and and find new employment.
Interesting admission by the shooters starting at 5:19 “Fuck. We are fucked. Find a firearm….”
Damn them all.
I agree in its current form it needs to be abolished. If government workers, of all kinds, don’t have some ascertainable form of immunity for their official actions, government won’t function. I believe in limited government, not anarchy.
That QI is court created, rather than an enacted law is obscene. The way it currently functions is obscene. The incredible deference shown to cops is obscene.
I don’t think we will have a functioning government without some sort of QI. You can call it whatever you like. It needs to be radically scaled back. But complete abolition. IMO, will lead to utter disfunction.
If I am not mistaken, NY has recently limited it.
The only result I can see is cops retiring en masse.
That’s correct, honestly they made some surprising progress on actual police reform on NY, along with all sorts of stupidity.
I don’t trust the government to reform QI, just as I don’t trust them to reform civil forfeiture, or the FBI. Cop unions and cop worship are both waaaay too strong. Complete abolishment of QI, can be followed by the incremental addition of severely limited QI for some aspects. (Civil forfeiture should never return.) But shootings are simple. Cops are citizens like you and I, nothing more, they can follow the same self defense rules as we have.
Cops should have to purchase their own liability insurance. If they fuck up they should be liable and not the citizens of their jurisdiction.
What, did they have an “officer involved shooting” *spit* quota they had to meet?
Geezus. That is awful and everyone of them will face zero consequences for their actions.
Racist pseudo governments should have no police powers, more so off of their privately owned land or over US citizens. State governments should not be extending law enforcement powers or recognition to the armed security of those racist pseudo governments.

You’re supposed to shotgun it.
…I knew something was off.
Geiger counters just popped up in my Amazon feed.
Maybe you shouldn’t have ordered that U-235.
They knew what you wanted before you did.
I just read the entire TSA “can I bring this on a plane” list and in case you were wondering, you are ok carrying your brand new Geiger counter on the plane, or you can check it. Either way, you’re good to go.
Huh, maybe I’ll bring mine next time.
I didn’t think PBR was that bad.
It’s game night at house OBE. Ribs on the smoker. Chicken wings will be cooked soon. Thai chicken salad and other yummy finger foods provided.
I’ve been known to toss back a PBR or two. Like MS said, it has its place

Everyday I go out into the world demanding the seconders to let my people go.
Firsters have been in bondage far too long. This must stop.
You would think Firsters are so omnipotent they would be impervious to enslavement. Lame.
He’s not talking about slavery when he says bondage…
PBR is much better out of a bottle for some reason. You need to retry it MS.

I prefer Coors Light, but I can drink PBR, unlike that Miller swill.
Today I kegged 16 gallons of a Bochet Braggot. It’s basically a malted caramel mead. Tomorrow, I think I will draw some off to a micro-keg and add a touch of salt. So then it will be a salted, malted caramel mead.
Wood.
Maybe Moj can help me out here. I am trying to watch the Chiefs game and I am seeing something odd.
Some of the players and fans have these little clouds forming in front of their faces. Any idea what this phenomena is?
(Goes back to sipping on rum drink.)
Well, when cold air and humidity love each other very much …
Prick.
🙂
“I have a funny feeling a fair number of you exceeded six drinks before noon today.”
*Narrows gaze* *scans room* *sips drink*
Of course not. That would be irresponsible.
Nobody drinks before noon, as long as you don’t specify a rime zone.
Welp.
At least you’ve still got a chance. And Mahomes may be able to come back after the half…
Yeah, with enough pain killers to drop a giraffe and enough tape to ship it UPS.
There’s no hope. Kansas is toast.
Kansas?! Do you do this to irritate me?
Would I do that to you, Moj?
Oh, yeah. I would.

So much for breast feeding.
Can you imagine what the male hormones are doing to the baby?
Hopefully, she stopped taking them.
You’d think they would hate having children as much as they hate having breasts.
I am currently a strange site with my perfect Firster’s physique sans pregnancy bump. I am showing quite much, as you can imagine, given the raw First power building inside of my man-womb.
Obligatory. And hilarious.

Keeping Mahomes off the field in a playoff game in a season where you have a very good chance of winning it all? That’s really dumb. If the ankle aint broke, he needs to be out there, Fat Andy. Pain management is his domain. This isn’t going to put his career at risk.
I’m surprised. I thought they’d keep Henne for another possession.
The time not playing probably just made the pain set in and it’s probably feeling worse now.
