Once upon a time, my family took a trip to southern New Mexico to see White Sands National Park. The trouble with going to such places as a single destination is pretending there is more to do than walk around will get boring soon, even if you film yourself walking without rhythm to avoid attracting the worm.
This is my review of Coronado Brewing Co Scenic Route Black IPA:

So what did we do? I noticed we were only a short drive away from Roswell. In light of recent revelations from Obama, that were then confirmed in passing by Trump this week, then we were all of a sudden promised everything will get released. I can only conclude… Israel is about to finish the job.
Anyway fun story, there is an exhibit at the Roswell Museum that explains a number of types of aliens we are aware of. I thought to pass this information along to you. If you work a government or even a corporate job (industry dependent), chances are your supervisor is one of these:

Otherwise known as the “Grays”, this species are particularly short, have gray skin and almond colored eyes. A number of conspiracies surrounding abductions, time travel, DNA extraction, sodomy, and tracking devices surround this species. Including a fun one around Hangar 18, where Gen. Curtis LeMay verbally sodomized of all people, Sen. Barry Goldwater over asking him what is in the hangar. Its really just Hitler’s brain.
First landing on Earth 450,000 years ago, this species first came known through the Epic of Gilgamesh. Here they are the gods that decide the fate of humanity. They grew humanity as workers, and are largely responsible for the great flood, as well as decide who will represent their interests on Earth as a king.
While I viewed this exhibit with my son, I saw a familiar face. I asked him what he thought about one of the alien species in the exhibit, pretty much being Thor. These guys are probably friendly, and even helpful. After all, Odin very clearly said he would remove the Frost Giants from Earth—any of you all see any Frost Giants? Me neither.
Reptilians:
This one is a tough one to prove given their shapeshifting nature. Several conspiracies involving skinsuiting powerful politicians are prevalent. I want to assure everyone here, there is no evidence for Reptilians in the government. This link has sources and stuff that prove this to be true. Here at Glibertarians.com however, we have an ambassador, Mr. Lizard, that we have left a hot rock over in the corner in the event he chooses to return.
Black IPA is a style so unusual it is almost conspiratorial to suggest such things exist! Hell, this one was a collaboration with multiple breweries so they can actually do something truly unheard of: sell beer. This one I will admit is pretty good. Not quite balanced but a bit on the hoppy side. If you believe enough in it like me, you’ll come to understand why this is the drink of those of superior intellect and wisdom. Keep watching the skies. Coronado Brewing Co. Scenic Route Black IPA: 3.5/5
Everything seems to be on the hoppy side since the great IPA-ing.
Also, thanks for leaving out info on certain other fat green aliens. I owe you a dollar.
I’m this case, it is an IPA, so that’s about what I’d expect.
Lol. Well played R.J.

The Reptilian Space Lasers got you?
Lasers? No, they just paid me off but um…Tune in next week when I review my new FN SCAR!
FN has mind control lasers? Are they new? Or do they just not work on weirdos like me? Because I bought a Ruger 57 instead of a FN Five-SeveN a few years ago.
I will admit to entertaining the F**N 5.7 MK2
I haven’t bought a pistol in forever.
Are they all that expensive now?

Hold my beret and watch this.
I think this was explained to me once before but… what does a black IPA taste like?
Like a regular IPA, bur with roasted notes from the darker malt used. This can cause the bitterness to taste more subdued. They’re also called Cascadian Dark Ales (because people were upset by using “Black” as a descriptive, same as White IPAs are also called Wheat IPAs). I’m a big fan of them, and wish more breweries still made them. They’re much more in my wheelhouse than the (apparent never ending) hazy craze.
Thanks Neph It sounds like it still tastes like an IPA. Now I know to take a pass if I see it.
Put the glasses on!
I was certain the Hangar 18 link was going to be this:

Me too.
Damnit
I still appreciate you.
I like my IPAs on hot summer evenings, and my dark beer on cool ones in the other three seasons.
This beer will confuse my equilibrium, possibly getting me to do a polar bear plunge or some other sort of confused activity.
Sounds like you were skinsuited!
The ultimate exfoliation spa treatment.
Poisoner-in-Chief
The Biden-era Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (Mats), which updated standards set in 2012 under the Obama administration, had still been in force after the supreme court declined to put the rules on hold after a group of mostly Republican states and industry groups led a legal challenge to suspend it.
That rule would reduce allowable mercury pollution from the coal plants by 70%, emissions of nickel, arsenic, lead and other toxic metals from coal plants by two-thirds and result in health cost savings of $420m through 2037, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
The EPA said in a statement on Wednesday that the 2012 Mats rule provided “an ample margin of safety to protect public health”, and that its proposed 2024 additions would cost more than they benefit.
Turning the clock back to 1900. Soon the coal soot will be thick as pea soup.
A health savings of $420,000,000
Numbers we pulled from our butts.
No mention of the cost to get those savings…
Tens of billions.
Hey if a kid can count 500,000,000 plastic straws used by Americans every day, then grown men, professionals no less, can accurately count health cost savings.
The shit playing out with Epstein right now is an example of how information in the realm of UFO’s has been selectively leaked and manipulated to manipulate public opinion.
The Epstein shit has the tells of a psyop to me.
You don’t think they were eating babies?
Only if it involves Trump.
Would you be surprised if they were?
I was listening to the All In Podcast today. They had three “experts” on Epstein. It was all arguing and nobody could agree on anything. A total waste. The one point I did find interesting was that this seems like the panic over sex abuse in day cares in the 1980’s, which turned out to be all witch hunt and no substance. Not that all Epstein stuff is fake, but at this point everything is muddy, and the political tribes are trying like hell to use it against each other.
Alternate conspiracy: Epstein is a Reptilian.
what does a black IPA taste like?
An IPA with a cigarette butt in it?
That’s what whisky tastes like to me.
Try one that isn’t smoky/peaty.
Wait, someone tried the dry hopped whiskey as their first?
Out of curiosity, are you including bourbon, rye, Irish, and Japanese whiskies in the ones that taste of ash and tobacco? I can see that descriptive working for several Scotches, but not the others.
Dry hopped whiskey?
I’m not a hop-head but I’d be willing to try that.
Burbon, Rhy, Irish.
Tastes like ashtrays.
🤨
Scotch too.
They are like spicy food to me.
Spicy food tastes like fire. It has no other flavor.
Rye.
Autocorrect got me cause I have to correct it when I mention you Rhy
Have not sampled that drink.
DEG:
It’s been discontinued for years now. I’ve got one bottle sitting on my shelf here. I was a fan, but it’s a one and done pour for me. The hop choice was not the best (IMO), and builds up a medicinal taste fairly quickly.
Threedoor:
Interesting. Same issue with other spirits? Does the ash flavor preclude mixed drinks/cocktails with whisk(e)y? For spicy food, there’s other flavors there, but you need to build up a tolerance to the heat to get to that point. Completely different beast there, but I love the sweet notes that are frequent in super-hots.
Neph, I’ve had a crew mixed drinks with bourbons/whisky that I have enjoyed.
My wife makes a burning apple pie that’s amazing. It’s like it mixes all the good parts of the flavors and minimizes the whisky taste while accentuating the vanilla and oak notes.
I have loved some whisky barrel aged dark beers in my time as well.
I say no to whisky neat.
A bourbon apple pie.
Burned would be a tragedy.
A menthol cigarette butt?
Everybody sing

You don’t think they were eating babies?
On pizza. With pineapple.
Pineapple long pork pizza.
Tastes like Canadian bacon.
Coronado huh?
Local breweries for the win!
First Sat shift here. Hopefully some Talent needs something from inside the station today.
We’ll see! Have a fun one, y’all.
You’ve got to keep the talent starry eyed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tz-xC2NfP0&pp=0gcJCUABo7VqN5tD
Speaking of lurid dramatization of the news, I submit the Guardian’s handwringing coverage of the avalanche victims. If you can make it to the end you’re tougher than I am.
Solly no linkee.
How do you frame “avalanche victims ” into a narrative that pushes socialism…? Thanks for not linking; I might click it by accident.
I remember one time when my high school buddies were sledding on a local golf course and some college age/endless summer types showed up with their rotomolded kayaks and went down the hill in them. One gal verses to the right towards a quarry edge, we all started yelling to go left or bail. She went off of it falling. About 25-30 feet, screamed she couldn’t feel her legs.
The immediate response from her deadlocked male companion was “this is why we need government healthcare!” That was in the winter of 1995. I scoffed at him and later was sad it wasent him that had the spinal injury.
Think of it this way — if we had had government healthcare it would have saved us a ton of money on wheelchairs and caretakers for that poor girl.
Yep.
They make anything about socialism.
It’s like watching an episode of Family Guy.
But is it funnier than Family Guy? Admittedly, it’s a low bar to clear.
A number of years ago we made the White Sands trip in the fall. At a white sand pile, with a sign that said “Do Not Remove Sand” Mrs F stole a bucket of white sand, as I took pictures of her and the sign.
As it turns out apparently the stolen sand of NEWMEXICO hasn’t been missed. The scofflaw has a big pan of it full of carved African animals she bought in Africa. The sand looks like the Sahara. The only sand from Africa came home on her shoes
To get even, when I ventured past a sign that said “Do Not Go Beyond This Point” she captured me stealing a small piece of an Alaskan glacier. I’m not sure where the piece went to, I don’t see it around the house anymore. We do have a lot of similar glacial looking pieces falling off the house roof though.
A friend of mine had a chunk of salt he got from high in the andes. “This is where a salt pan got lifted up. it’s so amazing that it is still there after extybazillion years!”
Me: “Ya’ know, you can buy that in the grocery store for about two bucks.”
My first wife had some Dead Sea water in a little jar and another from the Jordan river she collected while she was in Israel. “This is the water Jesus walked on! This is the water John the Baptist baptized Jesus in!” *stabs her finger at me* “Dont even say it!”
Me: *eyeroll*
I know, I am a kill-joy.

When we visited friends in Germany back in 12 we toured Dachau and the Doccumentation center.
At the adjacent Zeppelin field after making grumbling Germanic sounds he snapped a few Roman salutes and proceeded to tear a big piece off of one of the steps.
I have no idea where that chunk of concrete ended up.
Technically you are breathing the same air as Julius Caesar.
Or you are breathing the air farted out by millions of cows.
I recall similar signs, but I also recall them selling jars of the sand in the gift shop.
Watching Mr. Nobody. Looked interesting. Then it turns out to be a fever dream of an exploration of time shifts and alternate timelines all braided up. Do not like fever dreams as much as I used to and the only time travel movie I ever liked was Twelve Monkeys. I don’t know if this is a failure of imagination on my part, loss of attention span, loss of tolerance for anything that doesn’t follow Standard Storytelling Practices,™ or a general ennui.
You’re not a fan of Back to the Future?
(Serious condenser for Best Film Ever.)
See it in a theater sometime if you can!
Apparently some guy in Texas was killed by ICE in an “undisclosed” incident.
I guess that’s what you call it when the national press hasn’t brayed about it from atop the corpse for weeks.
Redid the resume, tried and failed to inflate old bike tires (all must be replaced), got the daughter set up on a Linux PC so she can write. Busy Saturday.
Technically you are breathing the same air as Julius Caesar.
Jesus walked on the water in my toilet.
Which once was dinosaur piss.
Everything old is new again.
“Jesus Walked On Dinosaur Piss” sounds like an unreleased Zappa EP
You were referencing Tremors, right? Don’t mess with Graboids.
