I read the news today, oh boy

[Cirtur]

I too enjoy stella. I have also discovered that ordering beer online is much easier than I thought.

[LordRetard]

Your country is so dumb.

[Cirtur]

Dumb or just loves to party?

[LordRetard]

Those two things have more in common than you'd think.

Those two things have more in common than you'd think.

Truth.

I'm trying to come up with a better imported beer, and I can't. I have some that rank a relatively close second (Tuborg, Grolsch) and a few that I'd prefer given proper circumstances (meaning I have a taste for that type of beer, i.e. Heineken) but none that I'd rank above Stella.

Ciders? Sure there is at least one (Strongbow) that'd outrank, but no proper beer.

I'd like to take a moment to thank Apocolyptus for second attempt at a picture. Which, for the record, does look much more appealing and edible.* Did you go out of your way to eat burgers today just so you could take a photo, or take the lamer option and just find a better internet photo?

In Japan you can drink beer at the movies. I found this most excellent even though I don't drink beer.

*I'm Irish so I know there's a difference between what looks tasty and what is... hmm Irish Stew.

[Apocalyptus]

I just found a better internet picture, but I swear I will go this week and take a picture that is as indisputably mouth-watering as the real thing.
I have another exam this week and though I don't usually get fast food I usually go out and eat something fairly unhealthy after an exam. Like tonight I bought a pick and mix bag of lollies before the exam, and then got a cone of fries at lord of the fries with chili mayonnaise.

The fries don't look crispy or golden-brown

Are you blind, man. Grill'd make the crispiest, brownest, chunkiest and herbiest of all the chips.

You just don't have the skills to eat a burger that's in a proper bread roll, not a fake-ass sugary bun. You have to squish it down until it's a more manageable size.

That's right, I take my food burgers very seriously.

[Kimra]

What you just described as decadence is my usual fair.

[Apocalyptus]

Well if it makes you feel better, even though I don't eat that much fast food, I eat a lot of chocolate. My Mum used to not let us have it cos she thinks 'society is having too much chocolate without knowing the health consequences'. When I first started earning my own money I went nuts and ate on average three blocks a week.

[Sahan]

That's the problem with that strategy, you keep someone from doing something all through their childhood, and they hunger for it when they are given freedom. That's why it's better to let them have so much at an early age that they become sick of it if you want prevention in the long run, particularly for things like alcohol, chocolate, junk food, underage sex and murder.

[Lethal Interjection]

particularly for things like alcohol

True in this case, for me. I can't speak for the other examples too much.
And you say "when they are given freedom", but really it is when they can find an little freedom. Like lying, sneaking out, etc.
But my parents let me have beer probably from the first time I ever showed interest. A beer here and there. Special occasions or on hot summer days sitting out on the porch, or while camping, primarily.
And my abuse of alcohol through my life has been nil compared to most. And even then, it has only ever been the very occasional mild drunkenness.

[Cirtur]

I have never abused alcohol.

Wasn't that book about something?

[Edminster]

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the Cheapass card game.

It's a sly literary reference to this book.
