I heard that Yanky beer is like rooting in a cannoe, both are fcuken close too water.

Whereas a glass of Aussie beer is like a cat. Because both contain cat [censored]...

If THAT'S the case, I'm going to stop putting kitty litter in my cat's box and just drain it into
my beer mug. Aussie beer is second only to English beer IMHO. Unfortunately, most American beer
just doesn't measure up (except to VB, Victoria Bitters, which is apparently the most popular beer
in Oz and a poor replacement for Budweiser - go figure).

Not all Yanks drink Budweiser...

got a warning that my Hard Drive was full, at SWMBO's suggestion I went out and got an internal CD
burner to back up a bunch of stuff, before clenaing it out. Somehow, I fried the motherboard and
hard-drive. went to return the CD Burner to B&stBuy and found an "Open Item" (display model)
1.3GigHz PC w/ 40Gig hard drive and CDR/W-DVD for $249. When one door closes another one opens.

Now I just need a real JOB!

Spent last week filling in for one of my mechanics at the shop. That was really cool..... I did a
few timing belts, an oil pump, a head gasket, and all sorts of groovy volvo repairs. They were so
impressed they even gave me my own key, so I can use the shop any time I want now.

Riding? Jut riding the trainer It hasn't gotten above 20°F for over two weeks now. Some days it
never got above 0°!!!!! BUT, on a positive note, Harpoon has released their Winter Ale.... MOST
YUMMY indeed!

You were gone?

I don't think anyone knows or cares when somebody goes missing. I even unsubscribed to this group
for about 3 months last year and nobody said a word when I reappeared or sent me an email - nothing.
Doesn't bother me, just indicates how little a single poster can be missed.

I just figured you were too busy sucking greenbacks out of the pockets of vacationing Barney's.

I used to laugh when I'd pop into an Aussie bar for a pint of Toohey's Old (aaaahhhhhh) and see a
few Oz yuppies trying to be cool by drinking Bud. Yep, no doubt about it, slap "imported" on a brown
bottle, double the price and some git will buy it. ;-)

Help me remember that Aussie beer I I had last year. It was a Stout. It had a
mustard yellow label and it was good all 4 bucks a bottle good. It was winter, I
was riding and in need of a beer. So I pulled into a package store found & paid
for and went out and to the nearest lookout to drink it .

Fire up MTB 03

I reckon 'twas a Sheaf Stout.
