It's been a helluva week in Freeperville. I'm sure there is much relief, as well as some ongoing anxiety. While many freepers rejoiced at the SCOTUS news, others were on edge over the CIA leak drama, and still others didn't give a rat's rear end about much. Regardless of the category you belong to, it IS the friday before Halloween and frosty adult Beverages are necessitated by the occasion.
Top 7 Reasons to Pop a Cold One Tonight
7. Wounded Warriors Beer & Brat fund
The Freeperettes came thru to send funds to treat some wounded heroes to a night of R & R in Ramstein, Germany. Marmar will be the gracious hostest and official photographer.
6. Poland Elected a Right Wing Gov't
Following on the heels of the German elections, some hope for Europe is in the cards.
5. Mr. Sulu and Cheryl Swoopes came out of the Closet
I always thought that the way Sulu said "yes, Captain" to James T. Kirk seemed suspicious!
4. Karl Rove is Still Employed
Much to the utter despair of Chrissy Matthews and Joe "Frogmarch" Wilson, Rove may still be around to inflict further damage to the socialists (read Democrats) for awhile yet.
3. Harriet Miers Showed Alot of Class
I wanted to see her in the confirmation hearings, to demonstrate what she was made of. But for the good of the conservative movement, she stepped aside, knowing Bush would never have asked her to do that. Here's to you, Harriet.
2. Mr. Jeeves survived his Showdown with the Freeperettes
Our resident dating guru suffered a series of bodyblows in the "Stupid Lies Women tell Themselves" thread this week. But I have it on good authority that he is resting comfortably in a Bay area institution.
1. US Beer Consumption has Dropped
While the overall economy grew at an impressive 3.8% this past quarter, the beer industry has been flat. We all must do our part to help revive this vital industry.
I just hope it doesn't cause anyone to exhale beer out their nose.
I had my share of Foster's Lager when I was in Perth.
Good stuff!
Lots of $$ and hangovers it took to get me to that ability you describe.
I now have a reason to go to Buckley. I never herd (pun alert) of Elk Head!
Lotsa of the micros down here are brewed by commies. So no big change.
Isn't that the truth.
That works too, Cyborg. But ya can't have too many. Cider hangovers are the worst!
Wow. You have great taste! That's brewed right here in Seattle! ;o)
Maybe not, but it probably made Sulu soil himself!
Gotta love beer that comes in an oil can!!
And I only regret maybe a few dozen of those nights. LOL
Yeah, I knew that... I read the bottle, BEFORE I drank it ;o)
Actually, a friend of mine sent it to me... He has the great taste.

It is a good one, but there are some IPAs here that are even better. Ask your friend if he's tried LaConner, Snoqualmie, or Maritime Imperial IPA.
Damn, I'm gettin thirsty.
Will do!
:o)
MM
And they even serve beer here...
Yep, Elk Head is just on the west edge of town next door to the car wash. They're pretty generous with the samples and you can buy by the glass on site. I get the ol' 64 ouncer Amber to go for like $8.50. You should stop by...especially if you get up to Crystal Mt to ski, if you ski, since it's on the way
LOL!!!!
LOVE THAT!!!
Well, I must admit that I break that rule once or twice a year.
It's after 8AM SOMEWHERE!!!
