Jeremy

LOL, technically still contains nuts... or twig and berries to be exact. And yes to the "sum up American then and now" especially because she (or he, hell IDK) is getting an award.Quote:

Depends on where you are from. I drove my first car at 12, first 18 wheeler at 15, first motorcycle at like 10, shot my first gun at like 7. Basically an unsupervised childhood, great way to learn self-reliance, independence, and responsibility. Something today's youth is sorely lacking and this country is dying because of it.
That's pretty much how I grew up, too. But, I'm talking late 70's early 80's. I remember sitting on my Dad's lap at about age 5 driving up a 6 lane main thoroughfare. He was very liberal with my control of the steering wheel also. You'd be drawn and quartered for doing that today!Quote:

Jeremy
yeah, but would you allow your own kids to have the same liberties? growing up, i saw a lot of baby boomers who were "woodstock" mindset and they were wild and partied hard, but wouldn't let their kids do the same...Quote:

Jeremy
Pretty much the way I was raised. My parents are libs also.Quote:

I was screaming, "I can't swim". she'd yell back, "yes you can. your head is above the water and you're talking to me.". hard to argue with that logic. :lol: I basically roamed free in the neighborhood and sometimes in the small downtown area near us. today I'd be dead and/or at least kidnapped.Quote:

Regular NBA games here are not much less. 2 burgers/fries/beers were $52
watered down beer, sounds like. As if most American beers weren't piss already.Quote:

Exactly. Nothing like walking inside from mowing in the heat and grabbing a cold Bud Lite out of the fridge and crushing it, then grabbing another.Quote:

See, my lawn tractor has a cup holder to hold my Sam Adams Rebel IPA while I mow the lawn. Now that's how it's done. ;)Attachment 7978
I've been to Brussels, Bruges, Amsterdam, Aachen, Munich, etc. While I'm sure the NW has it's share of fine breweries, I doubt there's very much that I haven't seen. And while I get that a cold beer can be very refreshing, I maintain that the mark of truly good bier, is one that you can drink at room temperature. Cold temperatures tend to hide imperfections in a brew.Quote:

Yes, 72 degree F beer is nasty. However, cellar temp (55ish degrees) is what people consider warm for beer iirc, and plenty of beers are tasty enough that way.Quote:

And now to keep paul happy:

one more. Because World Cup 2015 is underway! http://d3imyo1kk0rcam.cloudfront.net...bc527165fd.jpg
I'm sure somebody out there can think of a more inefficient way to do this...Quote:
