    Late night's I guarantee he throws that suit on and screams 'SHIN, SHIN, PUT ONE IN' inappropriately at his spouse.



    I'll see myself out.

    Besides for the AWESOME communal bonding over on this thread, I have been introduced to some wicked Hanukah toons. Woody Guthrie?! Sharon Jones!?

    Speaking of legit musicians + Hanukah: I was someone who was a regular attendee of Yo La Tengo's 8 Hanukah shows when it was over at Maxwell's in Hoboken. Would love to hear a shout if any other BAs went. Baruch Dayan Emes to both Maxwell's and that show series.

    Christmas [may be] Lonely if You're A Jew, but Hanukah sure isn't.

    Hah -- I was cracking up. Suppose he spins around until he's dizzy and lands wherever? :grinning:

    By the way... who changed the spelling on the subject line? :astonished:

    This blend really has to favor the stout to work, but when you get it right it's amazing. I imagine it's similar to an original London Porter, with the brett and all.

    Hope everyone's night is going as well. L'chaim!

    ETA-whoops, forgot the party tunes :slight_smile:

    Night 7! I took I trip out to Tree House this AM (because beer!!) Pictured is a small piece of the haul. Ended up witha ton of double shot, alter ego cans, and a 750 of le peloton. Was gifted the moveable type for doing the driving. Question is what to drink first?!

    Kidlet got clothes & elmo's little dreidel book. Wife got the vase + flowers, and I didn't get an ear beating for all my beer pickups this week!

    Night 7!

    Currently drinking a founders mosaic promise. No pic yet so I guess you'll have to take my word for it.
    Later hope to sip a high westified by the menorah.

    For the sixth night last night I had alpine nelson.
    after that I'm not sure which is my favorite hop, but the single hopped beers really help figure it out.

    In the Nelson vs. Mosaic hop showdown I think Nelson wins, but its a close call.
