It's good to have back in the neighborhood, Mike.

Amen.

Much better than "you got a purdy mouth."

Amen!

O.k.

However, there still wasn't anything in that article about fly
fishing. The object still doesn't look particularly round. You
still don't seem to know who you are.....

Somewhere in Texas a village is missing their Idiot.

and unless you're in jolly olde England, wot?.......you still seem to
be having a bit of trouble with your singular and plural parts of
speech.
On the other hand, since you'll never see this, I guess it really
doesn't matter, eh?

I plonked him a long time ago, but some asshole always comes along and
replies to his posts and then the whole exercise is moot.


I know what you mean! Now I have to see his response.

Boy howdy, ain't it the truth?! Try ta make 'em fit for adult human

Just this morning I read Barbara Kingsolver's "Small Wonder", the title
essay from her 2002 collection. Everyone in America should read
it........um......and everyone else too, I guess.

Hoo boy.

Somewhere in America a community rests secure, comfortable, and content in
the knowledge that theirs is still on duty.......and justifiably so.

It seems that most "plonkers" ( for want of a better expression), put more
emphasis on the actual "plonking", indeed, going to some lengths to
publicise the "plonk",than on the fact that they purportedly no longer wish
to read anything from the "plonkees".

Should you not wish to see either originals, or responses, then a filter
with the content "Wofgang" should serve your purpose quite admirably.

This may well result in you never reading anything from Goethe, but, into
every life a little rain must fall, and he has not posted here recently in
any case.

This, of course, assumes the not-to-be-named plonker would have the
ability and skills to create said filter. We've already proven that some
not-to-be-named plonkers can't buy a clue.

Besides, a statistic I just made up shows 99.99% of all public plonkings are
complete bullcrap...

Oh, the humanity. I weep for Wolfgang's bruised ego.

Thank you, Stan. I think very few people realize the pain I suffer from
all of these gratuitous brutal attacks when all I'm trying to do is spread
a bit of good cheer and tolerance.

Wolfgang
all i am saaaaaaaying........
Yeah Wolfgang, it is a little past due but I have been busy. But it
sometimes takes adversity to remember your fellow man ;-)
So here you go...

Thank You.

A couple months ago you and I discussed beer. You suggested a few I had not
tried and me, being me, was always up to taste a different beer. I made a
list of a few that I would seek out. Over the next month I drank more than
the wife thought I should :-) but I am sure she understood my sense of
duty... she was kind enough to seek out a couple for me at times she was out
and about. She even made cell calls from "the beer section" when needed. (
gotta love her )
Now... I must tell you I still love Guinness. I don't feel it to be over
rated. Sure there are turds dinking it but turds are turds, that's what
makes them turds.
Of the beers I tried none were bad. I will say I was not impressed at all
with Rouge's Dead Guy. But that's ok, it is the overall quest that is key
here.
There was one that stood out, still stands out. I like beer. I like stout
beer. This one surprised me.
Anchor Steam...
At first taste I thought "yeah that's not bad". As I drank on it became
clear that this is a truly balanced beer. It is not sweet, bitter, strong,
weak, dark, light, stout, red, hoppsie etc... It is what "just beer" should
taste like. When I was telling my fishing buddy he needed to pick up some
Anchor Steam he asked what it was like. I said it is just beer, nothing
fancy, just good beer, just damned good beer. Even now to say that it is
"just damned good beer" seems understated but I guess really what better
compliment can you give it. They tried to make a great beer and did it.
So again....

Thank You.
That's great beer!

Ah, the balm of Gilead!

Wives (so I'm told......no personal experience here) generally do not
understand the sacrifices we sometimes have to make in conducting critical
research.

but I am sure she understood my sense of duty... she was kind enough to
seek out a couple for me at times she was out and about. She even made
cell calls from "the beer section" when needed. ( gotta love her )

Not only the exception that proves the rule, but an able research assistant
to boot!

Now... I must tell you I still love Guinness. I don't feel it to be over
rated.

A foible that, in the grand scheme of things, can be overlooked so long as
one possesses sufficient redeeming virtues. Hell, I know people who liked
John Ritter.....people I still consider friends because they don't talk
about it a lot and compensate in various ways.

Sure there are turds dinking it but turds are turds, that's what makes
them turds.

As simply and concisely stated as one could possibly hope for.

Of the beers I tried none were bad. I will say I was not impressed at all
with Rouge's Dead Guy.

Philistine! Pedestrian oaf! Ignorant cur! Benighted swi.......well, you
get the picture.

But that's ok, it is the overall quest that is key here.

Um.......well.....o.k., there is that. All is forgiven.

There was one that stood out, still stands out. I like beer. I like stout
beer. This one surprised me.
Anchor Steam...
At first taste I thought "yeah that's not bad". As I drank on it became
clear that this is a truly balanced beer. It is not sweet, bitter, strong,
weak, dark, light, stout, red, hoppsie etc... It is what "just beer"
should taste like. When I was telling my fishing buddy he needed to pick
up some Anchor Steam he asked what it was like. I said it is just beer,
nothing fancy, just good beer, just damned good beer. Even now to say that
it is "just damned good beer" seems understated but I guess really what

it.

All true. To Joe Sixpack, beer is beer and there's little more to be said
(or thought) about it beyond "I like it" or "I don't". In truth, it's
complex stuff worthy of the same sort critical attention to detail that
aficionados give to cheeses, wines, cigars, whiskeys, gods.....and (OBROFF)
little fishes. You'll get no universal agreement on any of them, but in
each class certain individuals stand out from the rest by virtue of
widespread appeal to discerning folks everywhere......well, except for the
gods. Anchor Steam consistently gets high marks from most people who take
beer seriously. Um......so does Guinness, for that mattter.....which just
goes to show that connoisseurs can be as wrong-headed as anyone, I guess.


Anyway, one of the things that makes Anchor Steam a great one is how well it
stands up to external factors. As is true of the other items mentioned
above, any beer, while it may stand well enough on its own, is often taken
in conjunction with other things and under widely varying circumstances.
Gods don't look (or behave) the same in times of adversity as they do in the
midst of plenty. Similarly, any given beer (and, of course, it goes without
saying that we like those that are given best of all) doesn't taste the same
with chocolate chip cookies as it does with a cheeseburger or cherries.
With the former, the hops stand out.....with the latter it'll be the
sweetness. It doesn't taste the same at breakfast as it does with a
cigarette and a good book at midnight. Regardless of which highlights stand
out, Anchor steam is always good.

So again....

Thank You.
That's great beer!

You're welcome.
