It was Friday and nothing seemed to be of interest. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, so I did the sensible thing and found the one with the label with the most colorful, eye catching label possible.
This is my review of Hop Valley Brewing Co Reveal Pale Ale:
Seriously look at that rainbow, isn’t it fabulous? I like what they were trying to tap into here. The rainbow is a symbol known to brings positive feelings for centuries. One of the oldest is the flood story.
Here God tells Noah his rein of terror has ended, and the flood waters will recede, and the Earth shall flourish once more. God promised that he will never again flood the world to destroy it and left a rainbow as the symbol of this promise. Next time he will just use fire and throw everybody into a flaming pit. Crazy stuff, really. We are reminded of this promise every time it rains, after all we need the rain but not enough to flood the Earth and kill us all. God remembers, that’s why there is a rainbow.
The rainbow is also a symbol of fulfillment. Think of what lies the end of the rainbow, the prize that awaits the person willing to seek out the source. The pot of gold of course!
Rainbow symbolism has such a powerful meaning to each of us and graciously bestows the energy of blessings. The symbolism of a Rainbow intuitively tells us to hold onto hope, to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that sacred blessings open to us when we are following our hearts desire. And the symbol of the Rainbow tells us that we are guided to our hearts desire when we open to spirit to let us guide us.
The rainbow itself it composed of seven colors–all the same colors representing the seven Chakras. To learn more about the colors and their spiritual meaning, click here.
Do you cry out for magic? Do you feel it dancing in the light? Is it cold? And have you lost your hold to the shadows of the night? I have good news for you.
While you turn that last link up, let me tell you something, this beer is good. It has a pleasant hop balance with, dare I say, a fruity finish. If you like the Pale Ale, but not the India variety, you might fancy this one. Hop Valley Brewing Co Reveal Pale Ale 3.8/5.
PS: Yes, I do know what else the rainbow means.
No, no, the rainbow is scary.
That books has “The Beautiful Side of Evil” listed in it’s recommendations. I remember my dad talking about that book at the height of the satanic moral pannick in the late 80’s. I never bothered to look into it but I’m sure it’s all second-hand anecdote and no verifiable facts. Thabks to Alex Jones we’re going to make the Satanic Moral Panic Great Again
Was expecting Gravity’s Rainbow.

I’m going to Bevmo, any suggestions for a New Senior Citizen, 55 today, I survived…..
Hang in there, Brother. Took a long time to get there, gotta long time to enjoy the ride.
Happy Birthday !
Happy Birthday. I’m 55 on Tuesday.
Happy birthday, Yusef!
Happy Birthday, Bob! Get laid!
Happy Bday Yusef! expecting pics of your doggo wearing a birthday hat!
Happy Birthday!
Happy B day you, you old coot.
Happy Birthday Yusef, you Tulpa hating mutha! Go buy yourself a new vacuum. You deserve it!
Happy Birthday, Yusef! I hit that milestone in October.
Congrats! Happy birthday!
Damn kid. Get off my lawn!
Also breaker breaker, congrats on making it to double nickels. Over
Also, if your Bevmo has Reutberg Dunkel give it a try. I lived near that brewery for three years and the cloistered nuns have been making beer to support themselves for over 500 years. (I assume different generations of nuns but it is a good beer so who knows.)
Ah, we were thinking along a similar vein.
Oh, happy b-day.
Happy Birthday Yufus!!
And when did 55 become senior citizen? I thought it was 65? Enjoy the day regardless!
Someone should tell AARP. They started sending me stuff at 50.
Same here. I hate those motherfuckers.
Hope you enjoy the reduced price at the buffet, Godspeed.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
You share it with this guy. https://youtu.be/hHMzjSqKZuw
Another birthday? Well Happy Birthday to you too. And JB too, in case I’m indisposed Tuesday. Wait. *Checks Calendar* My turn Friday!
So if I’m doing the math correctly, lots of Thanksgiving action occurred back in the day.
Happy Birthday!
I know you can’t carry guns in CA, so I got you a cop:

Oh my. What a beauty.
My kind of rainbow. I’m a couple of years behind you.
What’s up with all the old tarts here?
The young tarts don’t work lemon parties, MikeS.
Happy Birthday, young man.
Why is Indigo in the rainbow? Is it just to make Roy G Biv work?
The only two times I have used the word Indigo in my life is when discussing rainbows and playing Puerto Rico.
Did we really need to add a color between blue and violet?
Not according to Pink Floyd.
See the World in CYMK
What if I prefer Pantone?
Duke Ellington would like a word with you
Beat me to it.
Good song.
Indigo is blue.
Because Newton was an alchemist and needed seven colors for heavenly perfection.

I used to think truck driving simulators are the nerdiest time-wasting fixation that aspy losers could have. I was wrong.
Not that I wouldn’t drop $5 to try it out, but at $15 I’m going to make fun of the aspy loser nerds who play it.
Futurama was prescient again.
Just poured a smirnoff cran with Perrier. I have a couple errands to bike to in my neighborhood. Then it’s up to Santa Monica to celebrate my friends 50th birthday. Will hang out with some very old friends. I’ve been friends one of these people for 35+ years. Drinking all day.
God promised that he will never again flood the world to destroy it and left a rainbow as the symbol of this promise. Next time he will just use fire and throw everybody into a flaming pit.
He’s a kind God.
Don’t piss her off.
Did you just assume the Almighty’s gender!?!
Too late.
Good grief. I say ‘get off my lawn’ every day but I just realized the problem is that my lawn keeps getting bigger.
I talked to my brother a few minutes ago and he said his 20 yo son is still in bed. I started cussing. ‘Go throw a bucket of water on him!’
I get up at 3am every morning. I would be ‘Get your lazy ass out of bed. Why are you sleeping in? It’s 5:30 goddammit!”
*sigh*
My wife is a saint.
What time do you go to bed?
8ish. My wife makes me stay up late. I cant sleep more than about 4 hours at a time. I sleep a few hours, up by midnight or one then back to bed. Up at 3 and making coffee.
Yeah, I’m a restless sleeper as well.
I misread this the first time and thought you were calling your wife a slant. :blush:
Everyone in the house has a 9 to 5 schedule, so we’re up around 7 and in bed somewhere between 10 and 12, generally. I thought about getting up an hour or two earlier so I could get some exercise in, maybe take the dogs for a walk, but that would mean I’d need to be asleep by 10 at the latest if I’m not going to be a zombie after a few days, and that’s not gonna happen. Even if it did, if I get home by 5:30 I pretty much go immediately to cooking dinner, tidying the place up, laundry, exercise, stuff like that. Throw in taking care of our kid, and I’m not sitting down until 8 or 9.
I’m up between 6 and 7 and usually to bed around 9 to read and/or perform marital duties for an hour.
OT: I enjoyed your reloading articles. Its not something I will be jumping into anytime soon but a good read all the same.
Most of the time I post at work and all were picked up by my company’s firewall due to “Firearms.” Took me a bit to get caught up.
Thomas Jefferson proposed a rainbow flag for all merchant ships to show they were engaged in commerce and not by a nation.

I just tipped one of these…
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/4686/2011/
It’s…okay. Good, not great.
It’s a solid beer.
It definitely has a lot going on. A complex beer with a lot of flavor. But like a few of the reviews from my link above stated, it does have a touch of bitterness/skunk to the aftertaste but that dissipates after a handful of seconds.
I’m halfway through beer number two and am starting to warm up to it a bit. I bought two six-packs so if I post again later this evening it may very well be an even more incoherent and vapid mess than usual.
Cheers! 🙂
Technically it’s a liquid beer unless you freeze it.
I’m not impressed with Hobräu’s offerings.
Hacker-Pschorr’s Original Oktoberfest is excellent, and they export it to America.
The recipes for Oktoberfestbier has changed over the years. The modern incarnation is lighter than earlier incarnations.
I drank a lot of Paulaner when I was last at Oktoberfest. I think I liked it. The memories are a bit hazy of that night. Spaten and Augustiner have great Oktoberfestbier, but you can’t get Augustiner’s Oktoberfestbier here in the US.
Thanks everyone! I knew I wasn’t alone, I think it’s LHs BDay as well.
Back from Bevmo with these gifts, Brother Thelonious Triple Belgian style Ale,
and a nice Coffee Porter, but first, one more stop while these babies get cold, back in a while………………

HELP! Bella just stole an entire KFC thigh off the Counter and ate it All! bones, the works, I’m scared Shes going to die from the bones, What should I do?
Nothing. The danger from chicken long bones is choking. If she got them down she is probably fine. The only danger now is if she didn’t chew them well enough and pukes them up. They might catch in her throat. If she got them down I wouldn’t worry too much.
Thanks Suthen, I know She has eaten a lot of things that should have killed Her, but the Bones are scary to me,
Just check her stools in the next couple days for blood or if she stops going to the bathroom.
I gave those chew bones to my doggie when she was young. One day she couldn’t go to the bathroom despite taking her out and I think started refusing food. Took her in and X-ray found a bone fragment in her digestive tract. Vet gave IV fluids and sent us home with a high efficiency wet food. She returned to normal (and apparently passed it out). I haven’t given my dog a bone since.
I don’t give Her bones at all, just Dental treats and things like that, But She has a History of eating things as you probably know, Thanks for the Tip!
Uffda. My old mutt would chomp bones down all the time. He was a 90lb goldie/lab mix.
He would beg like a crazy dog for the bones from galbi when my wife made it. Then you would watch him spend a few days of tenderness when crapping. Sort of like us with spicy food I guess.
The other big treat for him is that I would freeze the leg bones from deer every fall and give whole bones to him as a treat. The best day of the year was spring when he would sit on a snow bank in the sun and happily chomp down a leg bone while enjoying the nice weather.
By the way, you would watch how easily he could snap a femur of a deer with just his teeth and realize that you really are living with a tame wolf who could chomp your own hand (or one of your kids) with no problem if he ever wanted to.
I tend to think the whole dogs can’t eat chicken bones is exaggerated, since it does seem to stop wolves and foxes.
I’ve heard it’s the cooking of the chicken, wild raw chicken is fine but once you roast those bones they become brittle and when the dogs chew them they shatter into sharp little pieces that tear up their innards. Of course, this doesn’t explain how coons and feral cats/dogs dumpster dive without ill repercussions.
KFC? That baby is going to sliiide right through.
Yikes, hopefully she is fine.
Had a bullmastiff that got into the trash and ate a whole bucket worth of bones. He was fine.
Dogs aren’t supposed to eat cooked bones because they can be sharp when they break. Just keep an eye on her.
It has a pleasant hop balance with, dare I say, a fruity finish.
Better than an aftertaste of santorum I assume?
…dude…
NTTAWWT, I guess.
C’mon man!
Truffle butter FTW!
Hey! I didn’t make the word up, I just think it is funny.
Pretty soon every funny sounding word will be in the damned Urban Dictionary. *Blushes*
I think we’ll see more of this as the pressure to be towards the top of the totem of oppression continues.

Imagine that. A would be Democratic Socialist politician is a lying sack of shit.
She sounds unstable and just looking for power. Like nearly every other politician.
A day or 2 ago, there was a NASCAR announcer who was fired for something he said over 30 years ago. Now we are inheriting the racists sins of our fathers…
His son – NASCAR driver Conor Daly lost his endorsement from Lilly Diabetes for something his father said 30 years ago. Conor Daly is 26 years old!
Cool link. I never would have seen that if you hadn’t posted!

This story seems familiar. Like it was just in links earlier today… Huh, I must be imagining things…
At least I’m not the only one to notice.
Nobody reads the links.
I try to wipe out my short term memory every night before bed. Its,a survival method.
Well done.
God bless leggings. Stuck at Seatac all morning, but some of the views have been Q worthy (if Q wasn’t a tit man).
Whoever invented those and then convinced women it is totes ok to wear them in public deserves a Nobel Prize of some sort. Those and stretch jeans. God bless them both.
When Google Glass or similar becomes as widespread as cellphones,
a) voyeurism porn is going to skyrocket
b) it’s gonna make Poundmetoo look like an amateur nothingburger
You are an optimist.
Last year I was discussing an app that would use some google glass setup that women would wear that would process incoming video to detect when dudes were ogling them. It would also use facial recognition to identify the ogling pigs and shame them on social media. The app and hardware would be free because we would be trying to make the world safe for women.
….
OK, the stuff would be free. The way the app would be monetized would be by selling subscriptions to men. The subscription would basically guarantee that they would not be “identified” by our app.
A secondary market would be to sell the contact info of the attractive men to the women who were ogled.
Apple Pecan smoked whole chicken, camp potatoes, and a light ribboned zucchini salad. Another Saturday outside drinking beer and smoking meat. I hate my life
Awesome. How long you smoke and at what temp please? Just got a new smoker.
Chicken is pretty forgiving but it’s the skin that is the problem. most people will smoke between 250-275 and then finish off under a broiler to crisp the skin.
I usually smoke mine at higher temps 275 – 300 and get an internal temp of 185 at the breast.
This one I spachocked so I will keep an eye on it a bit more.
185? Isn’t that a bit high? I usually shoot for no more than 165.
Like I said..chicken is forgiving. I will do 165 no problem and a good 20 min resting period.
185 is good If you want ot shred the chicken in my opinion.
I can see that.
That’s what is fun about smoking meat. there are a 1000 and 1 ways people do it. I do it because I am outside, I can experiment and use my weekend as euphemisms
Thanks!
Also smoking meat times are guidelines. it’s all about internal temps
Here’s the Coffee Stout, Epic Brewing, Denver CO 8% Abv
You can’t see light through it, very Creamy and smooth, what you would hope for in a Good Stout.
4/5

Very, erp… Tasty
See, Rufus, we do too work.
On the weekends, apparently.
Gotta love prog judges.

Shocking.
I’m a federal employee and this shit drives me up the wall that it was “blocked” I have to jump through hoops to prove someone should be fired. Grrr
Management in the federal government reserves the right in terms of budget and personnel. The unions have no say other than bullshit protections that can drag out trying to get bad actors off the payroll
OT Question for y’all: What’s a good length for an article? I’m working on one now, and I’m sitting at 1200 words — about 1/3 of the way through the topic. I don’t wan’t to go Quillete on everyone so I ‘m trying to figure out at what point I should break this into a second article.
I now return you to your beer.
You write well enough to go long, You had my attention, do it as one piece then read it back and ask yourself if you would read it, And We Glibs are here for a reason…. and it Ain’t Reason,
😉
If it’s too long, we’ll split it up. My stuff on here, when I had time to write it, ran typically 1500 words. My paid magazine writing (which now absorbs my writing time) runs about 3000-3500 per article. So you’ve got plenty of room left to work in.
1,817 words is the perfect length (not counting headers and captions and alt text, obviously)
It’s more about content than length. Articles based on facts and simple causation can be longer because they get to the main points first then get into the details, and aren’t mentally tiring to follow. Quillette tends to publish articles that are long, depend on abstract thought, and often do not contain a summary by their second paragraph. Few people want to read a mystery novel of someone’s political beliefs. Tell me who-done-it first. Then flesh it out. Splitting an article into parts should be based on their subjects not their lengths. For example: This is an article about X. There will be three more articles, about the history of X, why X is the greatest thing ever, and finally how to get X for your very own! So let’s start with what X is and how it works…
For nonfiction I find that 1200-1400 words works well here. There are exceptions such as breaking news, etc.
Awesome. Thanks for the input all.
I fucked up last night. I said Founder’s Old Curmedgeon was their Scottish Ale. It’s not, it’s a different style of beer. Dirty Bastard is their Scottish Ale.
Mea Culpa.

“My sidearm is with me 24/7. More: my sidearm is ALWAYS in my hand when I’m on the toilet, sleeping and making love. Puts a kink in foreplay but some women love it. Accidental discharge? No. Some intentional when idiots tried to rush me. 2 women spontaneously orgasmed. Go figure.“
Could get interesting if he was the LP’s choice for president in 2020 and wanted to bring his sidearm to a debate with Trump and Warren and Stein.
Or even to a campus speaking engagement.
If he did that, he’d have my vote for sure. He could out troll our Troll In Chief were he given the chance.

Not sure if anyone remembers the Propaganda posters from my last Diorama, they were pretty cool, added that Nazi touch. any weird, I’m out looking and I found the same posters in 1/72 scale, so the joint will get spiffed up a bit, ‘member the Germans had 5 years to build this stuff and hang out waiting for Us to show up, gotta do something…
