I wish I had thought of that in college though, getting paid to eat and drink... twist the arm a little more, would ya'? Wonder if she got sponsored by Corona.
It's true. Apparantly maltodextose is one of those carbohydrates that's really easy for the body to convert to fat. So there is a grain of truth to the term "beer belly."
Of course, if we wanted to make the world's most fattening beer, we could use high fructose corn syrup in the fermentables - it has a really high propensity for converting to fat as well.
Enjoy your two days of work while I shall be relaxing by the lake drinking da beers, savoring my extremely rare and moderately well-deserved vacation.
<cheesy grin> I'll be thinkin' of ya'.
I don't like the new scheme a bit, myself, since I believe in the basics - white background, black text. I do dig the new folder name, for the same reason.
Bless you!

WILD WIN!!!! WILD WIN!!!
No shit! Game 7 OT! Doesn't get much better. Even if they get swept next series, I'm still happy.
I'm glad that the Av-sucks are OUT!!!!
GO WILD!!!
Whoo-hooo!!
Compassionate people doing important work.
How unusual is this?

Link doesn't work for me, Frosti.
Google "Beer Belly Challenge." They paid a college girl to drink beer and eat food, trying to fatten her up.
Hmm. I did that in college. But had to pay for it myself.
Me too. Who would have thought I could have had corporate sponsorship?
Kraft, Minnesota Brewing Company, Barcalounger, and the fine folks who make Ramen? :)
I would have gone for Bacardi and Coca-Cola, myself.
But malt makes you fatter than rum.
Maybe one could just drink boilermakers instead. And extra cheese on the pizza.
With a side of mozzerella sticks and real ranch dressing. Woo-hoo!
I'd like a triple angioplasty, hold the wait.
Heh.

"grain of truth" - groan.
Ah, you liked that, eh?
It "bran"g to mind many unbearable replies. :)
I see that just because they were unbearable didn't stop you from using one.
to deny you the experience of the unbearable. :) I am the honey in the oatmeal of life, eh!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKY! You old sod!
Whooo! Slow damn thread...

Great, thanks.
Ye gods, that orange is ugly.
The best beer brewed in the U.S.
I've heard good things about Fat Tire, but it's almost impossible to find out here.
Please Frosti. You know I love you but the orange is killing me.
It's kinda growing on me. Suggestions for color change?
Anything but this.
My eyes!
Yellow?
oweeeee!!!
Now you're tryingto be obnoxious.
Yes, yes I am.
The black is the best of the three.
So far.
as the white text burns in on my retinae. actually, the most pleasing way to put text on a black background is with cyan.
The blue text on blue background is a bit challenging for me.
I feel like checking this thread every half hour to see how it's changed.
I don't like the new scheme a bit, myself, since I believe in the basics - white background, black text. I do dig the new folder name, for the same reason.
I haven't played with the layout at Sense and Sensuality for just that reason. It's content I care about, over appearance.
You'll notice the Rumpus and Yapathon look just like the main page. Although I've given some thought to making logos for 'em.
It'll probably be back to basics next week. It's fun to tinker with the code though.

I know. I could make a nice bundle of cash if I bootlegged a couple of trucks of the stuff to MN and WI.
Good God! These are Vikings colours!!! ACK!!!!!
actually, the yellow on purple looks good :)
Change the purple to a nice hunter green.
purple.
