I have recently noticed a major flaw in a large number of polo style shirts that I own, especially the ones with horizontal stripes.  When I look in the mirror, it appears that the horizontal stripes are noticeably longer, the lower you get on the shirt. I have just recently noticed this and have no idea how long it has been going on, but I am outraged and embarrassed to wear them out in public.

   I have also noticed a problem with vertical stripes on shirts. It appears that the stripes tend to be farther apart toward the bottom of the shirt than they are at the top. You want another example?  How about button-ups.  It seems that now they are placing as many as 2-3 buttons upside down on the shirts!  I have noticed multiple buttons on tucked-in, button-up shirts that actually point directly at the floor or even worse, they point right back at me!  All at the lower end of the shirts!  I am amazed at the decline in craftmanship in the textile industry!

On a similar subject, when did they start making belts in the shape of a boomerang?

Seriously, something has to be done!   Thank God all of my lose fitting, flowerdy shirts seem to be ok…For Now!

(And if none of this makes any sense to you, then get back on the treadmill…Asshole.)

So, if two shepherds were talking, and one Shepherd said to the other shepherd, “I’ll give you $20 for all your sheep.”, and then the other shepherd replied, “What, the flock?”.

  Well, I bet they’d just laugh and laugh.

Dogfish Head

Worldwide Stout

18% ABV.
70 IBU
Freakin’ Glorious!

DarkDarkDark brown, major maltiness, just the right amount of bitterring, and a big warming hug!
I’m not even half way done with this beer, and I already miss it!  Beer has evolved!  Perfect stout, but drinks like a brandy or port. Powerful malt flavors, maybe burnt fig…raisin?  I don’t know but it is really good.  Me thinks I have a new favorite beer.  These will be great for the cellar.  UNFORTUNATELY, I’ll have to go back out of state to get another one, but it’s worth the trip!

Saaaaalut!

Talking Monkey says 10 bananas baby! 

Not a chance I’m willing to take.  Thanks, but I’ll shop around!

Victory Wild Devil Ale
6.7% ABV
Hop Devil fermented fully with Brettanomyces yeast.
 

WOW!

1st taste – Hops are still there in finish, but overpowering dirty sock taste, (cheese maybe, Stilton, Bleu cheese?), hits you in the face 1st.  Cover me, I’m going back in!
   

Sorry if I’m offending any sour beer aficionados here, but this is my 1st trip down Brett. Lane.  This is definitely an acquired taste!  Any brett. experts out there, please chime in.  I remember the first Bud I ever had, and how awful and bitter I thought beer tasted.  I’ve come a long way, but I don’t know if I’ve made it this far.  I’ll let you know.  Liquid bleu cheese maybe?  I am on a new frontier here.  I wonder what this would be like paired with a strong Gorgonzola?  Mind blowing, I imagine.  All I can say is, if you are a broad spectrum beer lover, and extremely daring, give Victory Wild Devil a shot.  Hell, buy two and age one.  Who knows what this beer will be like in a couple of years?
   

That’s it, definite bleu cheese intermingled with hops, this is growing on me.  Gotta try more sour beers. 

Saaaalut!
Talking Monkey gives this one 6 of 10 Bananas.
