I tried the Dogfishhead Hellhound last night. Really nice beer. Its an Imperial IPA, but its not overwhelmingly hoppy (which is what to many IPA's rely on), and has a great scent and aftertaste. Only would have been better if I had an Robert Johnson playing while I drank it. Next time.

The only reason I'm upset they're splitting seasons and books is because I thought the show might push GRRM to write a little faster, haha.

Just had that for the first time Friday night. I'd never had it before, but I had got it as my first beer on a whim, and then got about 3 more before I left. Delicious.

If I thought they'd make they playoffs I'd vote that way, since I dont...

That was probably 'Frank' right? I'd agree, that one doesn't do a lot for me.The brown ale they have, 'The Whale', is really good, though. They also had some nice small batch stuff last summer for the Elmwood Arts Festival that was tasty.

Community Beer Works out of Buffalo recently came in second at NIPAC, which is apparently a national IPA competition thingy. They beat big guys like Bear Republic and Founders, too. Cool to see a local, and new, brewery do so well. Also, Flower Power is awesome, just had one on Tuesday for the first time in quite a while. Forgot how good it was.

All thoughts go out to you and yours, man. When my dog goes I'm going to be a wreck.

My proposal: No loser point. 2 points for regulation win. 1 point for OT/SO win.

Trying to explain to my taxi driver from Kyrgyzstan this morning why we get hammered on St. Patricks day : difficult.

yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I love Buffalo, but it'll never be a Chicago. I've wanted to check it out for a long time now.

I'll be in Chicago with the wife this year for St. Pats. Last year it was so warm I was walking down Elmwood and being generally belligerant by about 2 PM. I imagine it'll be a bit later this year before that happens. Anyways, green river! Woo!

Hows everyone liking the second half thus far? I enjoyed the reprieve from the Governor story-line last week, it was starting to wear on me a bit.

Pretty much all I remember about before Ruff was me thinking it was weird that they fired nolan when he had won coach of the year.

Tried Knob creek the other day, first Bourbon I've ever been able to drink straight. Super smooth and went very well with a good cigar.

I was there, but didn't see McKee. However, it was as awesome as it looks haha.

I'm thinking Daryl still kills Merle, but about a season later than I figured. Merle/Darryl redneck brawl their way out of this mess, Rick, feeling guilty for all sorts of reasons, brings Merle back into the group, Merle is still pissed and eventually goes after Rick one way or another, and boom.

I literally just watched the first episode about 3 hours ago on netflix, haha. I watched the pilot when it first started, but I never followed up on it. With walking dead coming to a break here i figure its a good time to jump into it.

I still think Carol's alive. I don't think the show would kill her off without even showing us, and I really don't think they'd have t-dog die so bravely in vain. We'll see, I guess.

Friends and I were theorizing last night that maybe Carol found it and dragged it off? Also, did Carl actually shoot her? Wasn' alot of blood around that bullet...

At some point I think Darryl is going to have to make a choice between Merle and Rick, probably having to kill the other one. Can't wait for that ###### to go down.

We didn't actually see her get shot. Maybe carl couldn't gut it out. He had about a million yard stare coming out of that jail though. Also, the crazier Rick gets, the more I like this show.

wow, just, wow. alot happened in that episode, lol.
