Posted by tigermojo on 8/24/09 at 2:08 pm

I'm getting married in 13 days. The Sunday after the Washington game. It's a small wedding at the home we've shared for ten years in sin.

I had a Westmalle Dubbel this weekend that had a pronounced grape taste. This was only my second one ever, but I didn't recall the first one having that flavor. It was almost like a port. I had teh little woman taste it too for confirmation. Were my taste buds off kilter, or is that the expect...

What, you aren't moved by the drama unfolding in Brook Knows Best? Seriously though, I'm more bothered by the people who dismiss movies like The Godfather, much less older, slightly more obscure films. I can avoid the reality threads. Ignorant posts in otherwise interesting threads are someti...

Not unforgiveable. You provided a great list in a short time. Plus, it's reminded me I need to break out of the stout/IPA pattern I'm currently in. Re: Meantime London Porter, I found a local retailer. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to drive accross the metroplex to pick it up. It's that ...

You two should continue to both champion older films. I think the lack of response is directly related to the general film ignorance on this board. And though I don't typically reply in those threads, I have used them as guides. So cheers boys and keep 'em coming....
