    No, I'm talking about the second Washington Senators, the expansion team, after the originals moved to the Twin Cities...

    I was so psyched to get my cool Huffy Bandit and then so devastated when everyone at school made fun of it.

    Looking at the photo now they were kind of right. It looks like a dorkified Thunder Road.

    I suggest a +/∆ chart using Post-It notes. I always loooove doing those in staff meetings...

    You left out "Peak of Inflated Expectations".

    Wait....

    We already have lots of those....

    You cannot quantify Neckbeards or their odd behavior "patterns".

    I was thinking more like Hill Farmstead. They go deep into the intellectual wording of their beer titles (when they aren't naming them after dead friends and family members that is).

    Does Hill Farmstead have anything close to:

    We Are All Infinite Energy Vibrating At The Same Frequency

    LOL, I guess the guys at Tired Hands figured out the "420" IPA title was already used too many times, so they came up with that long "cosmic energy" title instead. HF has "What is Enlightenment" which made me think of them from the "Slope of Enlightenment" in the graph.

    I just got back from meeting a friend for lunch at Tired Hands. The topic of We Are All Infinite Energy Vibrating At The Same Frequency came up and I remarked: "I wonder what they were smoking when the came up with that name?".

    FWIW the longest name on the beer menu today was "Austere Modular Three" which needless to say is a very short name compared to the Infinite Energy beer name.

    I wonder what Austere Modular Three means?:confused:

    Cheers!

    You could honestly just go with the classic design (leader, challenger, etc.) and have a unique quadrant for each beer style.

    Its a paraphrasing of a Bill Hicks bit... the infinite energy one

    I had to web search “Bill Hicks”.

    Is below the quote you think this beer’s name is ‘based’ on?

    “Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the Weather.”

    ― Bill Hicks

    Cheers!
