    is [chat] still testy?

    when was chat testy?

    when you ambushed thanatos and he responded.

    oh i guess i didn't pick through the chat or anything

    i don't mind a little jocular trash talk here and there or whatever

    but god it was just constant and eventually it got annoying to me
    There were less than 40 seconds between matches that lasted 15 minutes.

    How the fuck can that be "constant?"

    nexus talk more to me about beers oh yes

    *swoon*

    what about them eh?

    i enjoy fancy beers; preferably ones that are brewed by monks

    I am excited about DogFish heads Theobroma, even though it isn't made by monks, because they used science to try and replicate and ancient mayan recipe

    Dogfish is pretty awesome

    Eddy got us one called Midas Touch which was faaaaaabulous

    that was a fascinating beer

    Good draft beers:

    Blue Point Toasted Lager (one of my favorites)
    Sam Adams Summer Ale (with lemon, orange, or nothing)
    Hoegaarden (with lemon)
    Blue Moon (with orange)
    Sam Adams Cherry Wheat (with a good woman sitting next to you, whispering soft promises into your ear)

    Alright, so even though I said that beer tastes like ass earlier, I have been thinking about trying it out again. What would you guys prefer I start off on to try and get an acquired taste for it? Keep in mind that I really hate the bitter taste of it, so ones that don't have it as bad would be good.

    Also keep in mind I barely know what the different types of beer there are.

    it tasted like it was poured over an actual tire before being bottled.

    but its rare that a beer tastes so bad that I think about not drinking it.

    But... the best beer I've ever had came from Washington state. Walking Man Brown Ale. I have considered taking a trip up there just to drink the beer again and visit the brewery.

    Oh shit. You should check out The Saloon on U Street for beers. They usually have a ton of good stuff... then when you're drunk you can stumble over to Ben's and eat chili fries until you puke.

    Oh god I forgot about Ben's! Yes! Thanks!

    I'm quite a ways away, but it'll be worth a cab ride to try a chili half-smoke! I'll check out the saloon too.

    Racist Joke I would suggest trying a Hoegaarden as an intro to a whole new style of beer; it is easy to find and very different than any other beer you have had I bet

    Or blue moon, but drop an orange slice in it

    Beer is an aquired taste. Not everyone likes every type and even then it can take years to discover your particular pallete.

    I prefer ambers over lighter colored beers and I'm not a fan of really dark beers. All comes down to a very subjective opinion.

    The tap vs. bottle vs. can argument is my favorite honestly.

    "Gold plated cables give you much better sound quality!"

    "What's the wires in the cable made out of?"

    "Copper."

    Gold does give you a better sound quality, but that only matters in studios where you are really trying to sum correctly and get a consistent stream. But, yeah, in home audio it's pretty ridiculous.

    As for the kegs: surface area, brah. Also, you could just get cask ale like a real man.

    Gold does NOT give you better sound quality. At all. Even a little. What it does give you is a cable with contacts that won't corrode with constant plugging and unplugging in a humid climate. And a corroded cable will sound worse.

    But in brand new cables? You won't be able to tell the difference. Copper contacts would be even better than gold in a vacuum.

    Well you'd know better than I would, but I've been told by others that know a lot more than I do that the metal is pretty important for summing and I believe one dude talked about keeping everything in phase, but I couldn't tell you why.
