Gee I wish that those kegs from the last cafe would magically appear.
I couldn’t help it, they followed me in.
I’d like to have one of those parked next to my desk here please.
I think you’ll find this handy, then.
Perfect! Now all i need is a porta-pottie here and I’m all set. Have provisions, will party :o)
It’s the liquid cooled server we ordered for the department, Boss.
It’s been a long day so I’m having a shot of Kentucky Bourbon in a wine glass cuz that’s all I can find and chasing it with a Yuengling Lager because I’m not shy about showing the redneck yankee side of me ;o)
Nastrovya!
I wish we could get Yuengling here. I go to Pittsburgh once a year for an ultimate frisbee tournament, over 4th of July weekend, and that’s all I drink (well, other than water).
Why can’t you get it in Michigan?
I’m not sure. Nobody carries it.
I wonder if that is something that could be requested?
Ask your local beer distributor about it. It’s not like it has more alcohol.
Oh. Well maybe I don’t want it after all 🙂
I will certainly ask about it 😀
(((((((((super)))))))
And that was a full frontal hug. You deserve it.
See now Mary you’ve just shattered one of those preconcieved notions that I’m trying hard to avoid. I thought you weren’t the hugging type :o)
I’m not
Pull up a keg and join us?
Then I’m honored to recieve one of your rare hugs Mary. That’s nice :o)
It was, if I do say so myself.
Hopefully we’ll see more of them in that case. Hugs make the world right in most situations.
I’ll let you live with hope
Bless you Mary ;o)
If hope is all I have then I’ll consider myself wealthy.
I think I have a Yuengling around here somewhere. Sounds like a good idea.
This reminds me of college, where our small group would get together, have a few beers, order some pizza, and solve the problems of the world.
Usually that would keep us up until 4am or so, but I guess that’s a small price to pay for solving some of those issues.
Anything but anchovy
I don’t like pineapple (on pizza, anyway…otherwise, fine)
Never tried anchovies. I hear they are salty though, which I do like. But we can figure out a compromise, I’m sure.
Salty?
You should talk to Second Nature.
Then you have some splainin’ to do Lol
I usually like dark beers and even Stout from time to time but after a while the darks can get a little rich. Yeungling is a good in between.
Did someone say Yuengling? I wish they had it around here, I have to wait until my semi-annual trips to the East Coast to enjoy that pure liquid bliss.
Howdy stranger, good to see you here. We’re having a keg party here, which I can only imagine is what brought you over 🙂
I could use a drink or three.
Well, I don’t see suskind around, I’m sure that you could probably take a swallow or two from this…
Go for it. It looks like one of those airline cocktail bottles from here.
I’m hoping any east coast trip you make will be annonced in advance for the benefit of ….oh…anyone who might want to meet up :o)
if all goes well, I’ll be out there sometime this year and will notify anyone and everyone who might want to meet up. 🙂
I couldn’t sleep, mind if I join?
You — but George doesn’t get any beer.
He’s the one that wouldn’t let me sleep because he heard about a keg party.
Now don’t take this wrong Mr. Man but I’ve always had a soft spot for a southern accent but usually it’s accompanied by nice smooth curves ;o)
I heard your message at Diane’s. now I have a better picture of who you are.
Thanks Super. Second Nature gave me a big ego boost, so I have to admit I’m feeling better about my voice, but I agree with her. It sound better in my head.
Oh yeah,
haven’t had one of these in years.
Always wondered why there was a ? in their signs…but now I understand.
Peace
Thanks for the atmosphere Dada
I’ve lead such a sheltered life I’ve never had one of these. That good huh?
I’m trying to figure out how you even pronounce it.
I think it’s called beer ;).
sorry you couldn’t sleep but I’m glad you made the kegger.
Maybe EJ is calling for the pizza?
I’m ready for pizza. Haven’t met one I haven’t like yet.
if you order a ‘lager’ they will bring you a yoongling.
Booman now what part of the country are we talking about?
Philly and thereabouts.
Now I understand why I’ve never had any. I had thought in past years I had tried just about every beer.
I’ve been to Philly but if I’ve had it I didn’t know it.
Or at least, you didn’t remember it. That’s the way it usually works for me.
I’ve never been drunk in Philly. That’s still on my list of things to do. The closest was New Hope. I was very drunk there.
I’ve never even been to Philly.
But I’ve been drunk in Pittsburgh several times. And I have Yuengling to thank.
I’ve never been to Pittsburgh.
I might be going to Harrisburg in a few weeks, I could try to get drunk there I guess.
Although why getting drunk in parts of PA is more important than, say, Vermont I don’t know.
Because they have Yuengling, of course.
of course
I lost track of the thread
I was told that it’s pronounced as yoo-ling but that could be wrong. I like Family Man’s manly, economic pronunciation.
It was like you were saying last night to the ladies. We men are simple. We have to keep that illusion going.
I officially take it back. You can use him as a role model.
I’m confused. What illusion?
It’s like the word ‘youngling’, except with a bit more of a long ‘U’ sound in the first syllable.
Apparently supersoling disagrees with me. You just wait super, I’m going to troll rate you one of these days!
thank you — ALL of you
I was passing through and had to comment. When I moved to my area of PA, I heard of the beer before seeing it: “ying ling.” I thought it was a Chinese beer at first – took me a bit to recognize the written name with the one I heard.
BTW, the official Yuengling website offered this: Yuengling is German meaning ‘Young Man’. It is pronounced “Ying-Ling’.
It it pronounced more often as Yoong-ling, but the brewery would like to correct that.
That should attract patrons. Looks good in here.
I’ve got to step away for a minute. But I’ll be back.
Can I have a goodbye, be right back hug Mary?
maybe when you get back
Bribery. Hmmmm
OK :o)
You’re such a whug-hore 🙂
Hey, did you call for pizza?
Of course. Though it looks like we may need more, with the influx of people.
Looks like you ordered from Chicago
Yeah, I couldn’t believe they deliver here. Places in Ann Arbor only have about a 6 block delivery radius.
And fast — usually these things take 45 minutes from order time.
You people don’t know how lucky you have it. We just got a Pizza Hut in this backwood Alabama town of mine and that it. If you want pizza you go there. But we are growing, we got our first chinese restruant 6 months ago. The big city is finally arriving.
Yeah. One of my sisters worked in Jackson MS for a while. One day she suggested they get Mexican food for lunch. They went to taco bell — that was it for Jackson.
food is the number one reason I have a hard time imagining living outside a coastal city.
I lived in Kittery Maine for two years and the food was great, but I found it funny that lobster was cheap and shrimp was expensive. Down here it is the opposite.
Didn’t Katrina affect the shrimp?
Yes it did, but I think they are getting it back into gear again. It will be a long time before it’s back to normal, but they were having problems anyway with the overseas shrimp being imported.
Unless you’re tied to having fresh seafood every day, there’s good food in the interior.
The deep dark interior of the continent.
But in the south you have limited choices.
Depends on how south you go. Anyone of our costal cities has great food and some of our other areas do also. It’s like going into a neighborhood that has a lot of restruants. You find out where the locals go.
I’d probably fare better in the south than going back to the Midwest. I like a lot of southern food.
But I don’t like Tex-Mex. Way too much cheese on everything. I could be be satisfied for a while with good BBQ and general soul food. But I would really miss NY style pizza, the high quality Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korea, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and especially Indian/Pakistani/Afghan food that is available here. And the mexican is getting to be as good and varied as in southern cal. Well, almost.
I also like to do a Jewish deli every once in a while, and I like Irish Pub food. Basically, I would be lost without these options.
HEY! Whatchu got against the midwest?
You just need to go to a college town that draws many different (and sizeable) minority populations.
Like Ann Arbor. We have all the things you just mentioned, and they are actually all quite good.
Of course, you’ll have to shell out a lot more cash for rent…
I went to school in Kalamazoo. Detroit and Ann Arbor have much better food. But it is all available here too. The south has neat cuisines that are better eaten there than here. Course a Coney Dog is done well out there.
Not to upset EJ or anthing but some of us would question whether Michigan really is the midwest.
If we’re not midwest, then what are we?
Canada?
East
Michigan, Ohio
</duck>
How dare you group us with that delinquent state, Mary. For shame.
so you agree Ohio isn’t midwest? Or at least eastern Ohio
Ohio is in a world all its own.
ok, then I’ll grant that MI is in the midwest
You forget you have someone from the deep south here. Any where north of TN is suspect.
I would say that TN itself is suspect, but that’s based mostly on Senator Cat Killer.
You have a good point. But we’re talking about southern Canada here ;).
Did you go to WMU?
Speaking of western michigan, how is wolverine writer doing these days?
yeah WW and I were roommates. He is up and down. He really sounded great the last time I talked to him. He’s coming out to visit in August.
I knew you guys were roomates in college, didn’t know that you went to Western. Just thought that WW migrated over that way at some point.
Glad to hear he’s doing ok. I can’t imagine going through that.
other places have those — when people from asia emigrate to america they don’t all stay east.
and we have jewish delis and Irish pubs.
I might have to call you an east coast librul snob
He’s from Jersey Mary. That’s about as far from snobbish as you can get.
I was kidding
oh
(super)
I think I told ya’ll I lived in europe for about 7 years. The food there is what I miss. All of the type of restruants, pubs, gausthauses and so on. And the beer, oh god the beer. I think once I came back to the states I lost 35 pounds in the first six months.
oh…..(Mary)
get a room, you two.
you can let go of me now
and take your hand off my ass
i am a food snob, I admit. I really think Philly is the a better food city than New York. New York is expensive. And our sandwiches are much better.
New Orleans is/was probably the best food city I’ve been to.
I agree with you on New Orleans. I used to go there a lot and I have a good friend that lived there. He would take us to off the beaten trail places that had the best food.
yeah, I think you could (have) walk around for years finding off the beaten path places in N.O. that would blow your tastebuds away.
You know I’ve never really considered New Orleans a southern city. It’s an entity onto itself. But it’s not like any other city in the US I’ve visited. There was just something always special about NO to me.
I know what you mean. And I don’t mean this as a putdown to the south, it is just my cultural upbringing, but New Orleans was probably the only city in the south I could be happy living in.
People tell me I’d like Miami, but I just don’t like the weather down there.
Boo I’ve been gone from the south for over 30 years. I’ve lived all around the us and in europe. It has taken me a long time to get used to living back here. I know the only reason I retired here is because this is where my family is. It’s not the South I grew up in thank god, but it does have a long way to go. But even with that there are good things, just as anywhere else. I do think it has a lot to do with where you were raised. No matter what’s good or bad with the place, you’ll usually love it.
Yeah, I like the south for all purposes except electoral college votes. Sometimes frustration gets the better of us blue staters when we have to listen to people like Pete Sessions. But I love the spirit of people down there.
Of course, Jersey boys are just a tad more intense. I can’t help it. Really, I can’t.
I noticed that Europeans really like(d) New Orleans. Whenever I’d ask people who had been to the U.S. what American city they liked the best they’d say New Orleans. I think its because it IS different than other cities here.
I agree, but you also have to remember that most people don’t see all of NO. Most tourist only have time for well the tourist areas and that is what made NO famous. Plus in and around those areas the NOPD made sure nothing was going to happen.
When I was out in west Michigan I couldn’t find a decent meal to save my life. Hell, when I asked about a 7-eleven so I could get a decent cup of coffee they looked at me like I had two heads.
And then their little square ears started to wiggle Lol
Booman you’d better say everyplace in the world has the best food in the world – midwest included.
And to think Jackson, MS is one of the big cities close to me. I think blueneck is there. As I said though, you people have it lucky. Having lived in cities before, you take for granted a lot of the stuf that you give up living in the country.
Here you go, Family Man, this is for you.
Thank you very much EJ. Now I’m thinking I have to make a trip to the city.
Sheesh…stuff just keeps vanishing into the ether…time to shut down, grab a cold one, re-boot, and sweep this bugger out.
Be good
Later yawl
Peace
All I can do is try.
Now dang that was a loooong minute :o)
This place is trashed. Bring the pizza and kegs over to the new cafe
