QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 07:33 PM) That's all by way of saying "Beer = Good!"

Everybody here seems convinced the date will end with consummation, and hopefully it does. But here's what you have to keep in mind. Relationships are best when you don't have to try so hard that it becomes work, and nowhere is that more true than in the bedroom. Don't get all worked up about trying to please her or you're working too hard. Skip the foreplay entirely — get in, get out, and then let your sweetheart make you a nice sandwich. Like Bigfoot, the myth of the "female orgasm" is one that Americans spend way too much time obsessing over anyway, and here's your chance to show what a highly evolved man you are.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) All-grain mash - full boil Extract brewing is for cubs fans...hahaha j/k I'd actually be impressed if a Cubs fan had the god taste to even do extract brews. But I am quite impressed you're doing the mash - and a nice variety as well. Did you have any problems with a stuck mash with all the glutens in the unmalted wheat with the witbier? My first full-mash wit, the grain bed set up like concrete and it took hours to sparge — had to remove most of the grain and batch sparge it a bit at a time. Beer came out nice though. Job, kids, and life in general has shelved my brewing for now. When I had the time, I was doing usually one double batch a month in a parti-gyle sawed-off sanke keg system that I could do a single large mash in, then batch sparge into two separate kettles. I'd either split the first and second runnings for two different gravity brews, or I'd collect identical runnings in both kettles and then add different hop bills and specialty grains during the boil to get two different beer styles. If I was feeling very ambitious, I'd do a second mini-mash in an Igloo cooler setup and then add that to one of the kettles to achieve specialty styles. Brew day was definitely a full day. Dang I miss it. Keep On Brewing!

Anybody think this kid may have been a tad overmedicated?

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 09:45 PM) Hmm... I don't know... Don't women like flowers, or something? The whole women liking flowers thing is way overblown, but most women are too reserved to say anything. A case of beer is generally more appreciated, and more practical.

I think Valentine's Day dinner is all about romance and getting you both in a romantic mood. That being the case, the perfect Valentine's day night out is Hooters and then a strip club. A cheap strip club preferentially, because: a ) you want to demonstrate you are responsible financially b ) you don't want the strippers to be significantly hotter than your date or she will be self-conscious c ) your date is likely not supermodel material, so you want to be able to demonstrate your ability to become aroused by women even when they are not real lookers Make sure you let us know how it goes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) I'll bet tips today were decent You'd hope so, but it usually doesn't work that way. Most people are jerks and when they get free or reduced cost meals they manage to forget it takes just as much effort for the waitstaff to serve as full price meals and go cheap on the tip.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 10:18 AM) That was easily the funniest commercial of the whole Super Bowl. I lost it when the flowers said "No one wants to see you naked" Yeah, that one and the one with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head were the standouts for me this year.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 3, 2009 -> 08:20 AM) of course they do this crap on a Tuesday when nobody can come Pssht, there was a line 2/3 of the way around the place when I drove by this morning.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Feb 2, 2009 -> 03:19 PM) I can't believe that actually happened... It would be funny if that sort of thing happened at like 2am when no kids were watching, but during the Super Bowl is just bad. Yeah, it makes the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction seem sort of tame by comparison, doesn't it?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 2, 2009 -> 09:12 AM) happy x3 birthday! x2!!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) I hate girls. That's so ghey.

Ended up going low-impact for food today. Big lotsa layers nacho plate, chips and dips, and 50 takeout wings from Beef O'Bradys. I asked ti get half of them as hot as they make them, and while the habernero hot wings they made leave a nice tingle dancing on the lips, they are certainly not the hurt you hot I was looking for. What are the guesses on how many wings get consumed nationwide on Superbowl Sunday?

QUOTE (Queen Prawn @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Dinner: London Broil w/ mashed potatoes (the London Broil recipe is from my lastest Food Network Magazine). Snacks: nothing special (cheese sticks, maybe some pizza rolls, sliced veggies, and the baked popcorn puff things). Hey QP!! Where you been hiding?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 30, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) im gonna do some homemade wings...got the recipe and process from alton browns "good eats"...i trust him with basically anything, but i just did a test run and damn they are good....you don't have to fry em, they are baked, so much healthier (though not completely healthy), yet still really crisp and tasty... Alton is great, I love the food geek thing. I never knew how much effort went into perfect wings until I saw that episode.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Jan 30, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) Beer, Yes I made it myself...have a brown, amber, wit, and german wheat to add the the mix Wow, I'm really impressed. Are you doing extract brew or are you doing grain and full mash? Keep on brewing!!

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 04:54 PM) Definitely ordering the Chilis salsa and chips. Love that stuff. That buffalo dip sounds amazing gonna have to try that sometime. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) Yuk. They might have the lousiest chips 'n salsa for your money. The salsa tastes like it comes from a can. To each their own. Their chips often leave something to be desired, true, but their queso dip is very good I prefer an authentic queso blanco, but Chili's is very solid.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) teehee. These online prebids aren't going to mean squat when the live auction happens. If the did, I'd try bidding on that gorgeous handmade classical guitar. Valued at $50K, current bid $600. It may not reach the valued estimate, but that will fetch a nice price on auction day.
