Rogues: and... Alleykat's: Rogue beers are pretty awesome and I can't wait to check their taproom out when we head to Portland for NYE this year! Beers abound!! The Alleykat beer is ok. I couldn't have too many in one sitting but there is a definite pumpkin pie (pi?) flavour going on that, if you like that sort of thing, is kinda neat.

Fuck that, as if the two guys I was trying to beat to the punch already made it.....Christ, and Cully posts about as much as I do these days... "Depends on how Im feelin'" would be the appropriate response for all.

Well, I had to miss the draft and don't like some of the picks but I got a bunch that I had ranked prior so no real complaints. Let the fun begin!

The Jockstrap Blues are in!

Big into malbecs myself.

Mr. Chips. Have you tried the English beer cheese that has that in it? Pretty tasty, and a conversation piece to be sure.

Dunno? I got mine in Calgary. I don't think it's an easy one to find...

Whiskey cask aged imperial stout from Scotland. Ridiculous.

Well, just picked up one of thes and I can't wait to try it out!! A large charcoal grill and it has a side firebox for smoking and indirect heat cooking with wood and is pretty heavy duty for a backyard piece.

Best line of the review....

At which point do you toss the salad?

HNIC won't be the same without it...I can't believe they let it slip away. When I first heard it after living out of Canada for 10 years, I remember getting chills and realizing that I was home...too bad.

Beetlejuice! Actually, I like Banjo. Dorf would be pretty rad as well.

Good call on the Martin, Pablo. I wasn't aware of that model but sounds like something to look at and keep the eyes open for. Any knowledge about the Breedlove Passport series? Specifically the OM-FS model? Seems like another possibly good deal used. They sell for $400 new and are solid through and through. has the 3/4" nut width but she was drooling over a $2500 Guild CV series guitar that had the same dimensions... Breedlove seems to be a solid company and these guitars have decent reviews but I don't see them around much.

Holy shit, I can't get enough of olives lately. A local market has an olive bar with a huge variety of olives....many stuffed with things such as roasted pepper, sun dried tomato, garlic, CASHEWS!, jalapeno, spice blend, manchego cheese, blue cheese (a few kinds), feta, smoked dubliner cheese, turkish lemon, pesto, anchovy, and the list goes on and on and on. Best olive you've had? Any ideas for these little flavour bombs? I can't help to think of them as part of a tapas type sampler plate with awesome sausage, grainy mustard, pickled onions, some sort of cured ham and a crusty bread. Drooool.

Agreed. Too damn bad that the internet has so much information on it!! Pretty hard to get one past the pawn shop owners these days

I hear you guys on the Seagull issue. Really, I think she needs to realize that it won't sound like the Martin. I've been looking around for an S6+Folk to check out but none of the local dealers have one in stock (which I find odd b/c I believe it is a popular model) The price range is a little tight but I have consistently seen solid body Seagulls selling for that. Again, just looking to see if anyone has any nuggets of info out there. I have heard nothing but good things about Norman guitars and NEVER see them for sale used (a good sign maybe?)

Any recommendations for smaller sized guitars at a good price? Ideally looking for something around $300 but would go up a little if need be. We already have a couple of nice dreadnoughts kickin around but they are too nice to be used for this purpose. Basically looking to get a solid body guitar that my gf doesn't have to worry about getting banged around as it will be used everyday for therapy sessions with a wide variety of people. The smaller size will keep her comfortable but should also sound nice (obviously). She plays all styles but likes finger style the best. She is also in love with the full tones of her Martin.... I have been checking out the guitar shops and haven't found any amazing deals yet. I'm wondering if there are any "no name" or "knock off" brands or good values that people have come across. I will likely be buying something used. She is not a fan of Seagull guitars or Art and Lutherie (feels they sound too thin).

Also just noticed that somehow a bottle of scotch got packed in a box...drag!

IN! Havinbeers and whatever else is kickin' around the house b/c Im moving in like a week and this stuff needs to get in my belly!
