  1. Yup, one more way to die, which is interesting to me.
  2. They've announced they're doing a spin off to the walking dead, but it will have none of the members from this show on it. I'd love it if it took place up north some where.
  3. Had an Ithaca Cold Front last night : http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/651/52334. IDK if it just hit the spot or what, but it was really good. Caramelly amber ale, little bit of spice but not over powering like alot of the winter ales tend to be. I'll be getting some more, for sure.
  4. Agreed. I like IPA's, especially for those reasons you listed. Its the beer equivalent of a hard drink, loud, strong, and ever so slightly painful, all while being clean and crisp and refreshing. Nothing better for me after a long day's work.. I'm not going to not drink them just because some idiots also drink them, haha. I just also won't judge people who don't care for them like said idiots do.
  5. Nothing wrong with not being a hop-head. I don't love them as much as I used to, and I don't like that a particuarly hoppy beer can kill my palate for the rest of the night/tasting/flight. If I'm going to come home and drink a beer after a long day, it'll probably be an IPA, but if I'm going to be having a lot of different types I tend to stay away from them. People liking IPA's kind of became this shibboleth type thing for beer lovers a couple years ago when the craft stuff was really starting to take off. Walk up to the bar and order a Hop Devil or a Cascazilla and other guys would kind of respect that you knew beer. Now the craft/micro brew stuff is so big it doesn't need to be like that anymore, there's a million different tastes for everyone, but some are stuck in their old (read: 5-10 years) ways.
  6. I loove IPA's, but they don't need to be the be-all-end-all of beers. The market has become flooded with them, and I'm hoping it corrects itself before they kind of jump the shark.
  7. Cask ale fest at Coles/Mr. Goodbar in Buffalo tonight/tomorrow for any interested. Not sure of the full list but I know Community Beer Works and Great Lakes will be there.
  8. I like it. I could also see Carol telling Tyreese that she killed them.
  9. oh man, that's a bad ass idea
  10. Me fail english...?
  11. Guys, he's kidding right? Guys? GUYS?!
  12. Up next: Randy Burridge to be Power Play coach.
  13. Which might be the smartest thing he's said yet.
  14. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130711132208/mk/images/2/25/Anchorman_well_that_escalated_quickly_966.jpg
  15. That might be the most satisfying final episode of a show I've ever scene. And at the end, even though I've never felt much of anything for Walt, I felt a little pity? Empathy? Not sure what, but it hit me a bit right in that final shot. Well done.
  16. I think either Jesse has to kill Walt or the other way around. I don't see Walt going to jail, or dying from cancer either. He either has to die at the hands of someone he loved, or live having lost everything that he was working to save. Glad I pushed through to the end of the show; the next 6 episodes are gonna be intense.
  17. I'm not sure Bruce Smith went to camp the last 10 years he was in the league.
  18. I haven't been to Slickers in years and never had a particular affinity towards it. It's just kinda the only bar in Old Forge itself, haha.
  19. Old Mill? Slickers? Big Moose, Screamin' Eagle and The Woods Inn all have good beer selection too, if you're in the area.
  20. Finally caught up so I can read this stuff again, haha. Therefor SPOILERS!!! Though I'll try to keep it to a minimum. I think people get breadth of a character confused w/ depth. Brian Cranston is doing an amazing job of acting out a character that, externally, has a lot of angles to him, but underneath there is very little. Walter isn't confused. He's not haunted by his past. He's strengthed by it, emboldened by it. He sees the people he's killed as people who were in his way, and by killing them he's only made himself stronger. He LIKES who he's become.He started as a man who had no control over his own life, who was a wimp, a pushover, and he's spent the last year of his life 'correcting' that problem. He says he is doing it for his family, but he doesn't mean that. The last shred of possibilty of that being true dissappeared when he (AGAIN SPOILERS) decided to keep the business instead of just taking the $5 mil. That was more than enough to put both his kids through college, and their kids, and buy them all a house if he wanted too. Hell, I'm not 100% convinced that he's even stopped NOW, I think he gave up all that power that he was so fond of WAY to easy. Skyler, who everyone loves to hate, is complex. She knows what she's doing is wrong, but goes along w/ it because its the only way to protect herself and her family. I think she got a little power happy, too, for a while there, but she can't stop, for her saftey, for the saftey of her children and family. She has a little Stockholm syndrom going on, too. Walt talks his way around everyone, convincing them he's got their best interest at heart, but I assure you, everything he does is for himself, and him alone.
  21. Look up a few posts from yours and you'll find my opinion on the Heady Topper. You are a lucky man, haha.
  22. Basically, thought it may have made the madness worse in the long run, haha. I forgot, my cousin from Vermont brought a 4 pack of Heady Topper, which currently tops the list at Beer Advocate. I'd say its worth the rating. Its not, to me at least, so much of a special beer. Its not wildly different from other IPA's I've had. Its just the perfect beer, insomuch as it perfectly defines what I think an IPA should be. Strong and hoppy without being overbearing, a nice fruity/floweryness, stings just a little going down. Fantastic.
  23. I'm trying not to read anything here as I'm not caught up. I just finished season 4 last night. I'll admit, despite the fact that some here will probably shoot me, I wasn't really hooked until the second half of that season. I also think Walt is a sniveling little crybaby, not a badass, but that's probably just me, too, haha.
  24. Found Three Philosophers on Tap in the 'Dacks this last week, which was pretty great. Also, pork slap is good!
  25. Yeah, it took a while to get out, but not terrible. Just the right amount of rain last night. I just wish the Mollys could have played longer.
