The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Wow. I sleep in and look what I miss. I committed the error (in the sense of my own mental health) of plowing through The Collected Stories of Flannery O'Connor, a couple of years ago. Good stories but awfully dark to read without relief the way I did. Apparently the movie of Wise Blood has a line that Ministry sampled in the long version of "Jesus Built My Hotrod" that's always stuck with me: "Where you come from is gone. Where you thought you were going weren't never there. And where you are ain't no good if you can't get away from it." I'm much more of a beer nerd than a spirits nerd, but I like the stronger stuff just fine--I'm not any kind of purist about booze, though, and people are welcome to get their drunk on however they like. I use vodka mostly for cooking, as a deglaze, if something with more flavor seems as though it'll be out of place.

I spent years taking pics and notes when I drank beer. I got to the point where it felt as though doing so was distracting me from the beer (which I admit is weird) and I stopped.

Understand. For a while a friend and I would use Beer Advocate at Happy Hour and it sucked the life out of it. Now I just snap the picture of it and type up a general impression later. (Except the pumpkins, which I've apparently decided to obsess over). It's also easier usually being one now instead of the two or three it used to be.

I would never be a part of any group with standards so low that they would have me as a member.

Thank you, Groucho.

I thought you usually went by "Snarf."
