The beer fridge means more to me than mere money.

Did I accidentally stumble upon the "According to Jim" forum?

Happy to be doing my part to save the Earth.

Opening the door and seeing the massed ranks of shiny bottles with their cheerful labels is an essential part of The Beer Fridge Experience. I explore. I find the last bottle of something I thought I had run out of. Pondering my choices, I cannot hear the meter whirr.

A beer keg in a tapped fridge turns one's basement into a wood-panelled, shag carpeted, likely nautically-decorated graveyard of choice. It is the beer in the fridge (probably Genny Cream Ale, judging by my experience with these things) or nothing. Where is the joy in that? No offense.

Go ahead and rape Mother Earth, if that's your thing. Anally, even. And nautical decore is wayyy underrated. Ahoy!

My current beer is even green. It's a Portland thing; folks in Jersey wouldn't get it, I suppose.



I do still have to open the main fridge to get the holiday beers and the Belgians.

Do you think maybe he just doesn't realize how obvious it is, or he just doesn't care?

Why can't he just wait another 15 minutes to get baked at home?

He can't get baked at home because Mom won't let him smoke in the house. She doesn't want to set a bad example for the kids. He probably assumes the kids don't know what the smell is (which, given the kids' ages may be true. You, he could care less if you know.

Au contraire, my good man. Dad kept Stanwix in his. And our basement was unfinished -- he had his workshop down there. But the one he made for a neighbor went into such a basement (though it stocked regular Genny, not the Cream Ale). The one he made for my uncle stocked Utica Club, and is still in the detached garage.

I have to agree. Sticking with one beer all the time would be harder for me than monogamy. Both at the same time? Unpossible.

Maybe that's why Hank is always dreaming he's fathered so many children beyond his own marriage.

Hank, change out the keg of Labatt's for a variety pack of Michelob. We'll get to the Sam Adams variety pack next week. Don't rush it.

Very wise. Utica Club, like vampires, should never be invited into your home.

Take care, NotBob. I suspect that Weed has given this issue broad and deep thought, and he should be approached with caution.

Yeah. That's what Ollie's done with the jumbo wine boxes he gets over to the Costco, and the quality hasn't dropped off at all.

It may be a Portland thing, since my BIL has one there too. Yes, it is only one type of beer, but those microbrews come in the 5 gallon canisters, not the 15.5 gallon barrels, so the change out is fairly frequent.

We have St. Patrick's Day here too, Mr. West Coast Hipster.

But there is no bottle deposit in New Jersey. I was shocked. People here get rid of their bottles by driving them one at a time in Humvees to recently cleared land in the pine barrens and throwing them onto giant piles of burning tires and plastic bags. It's quite something to watch, and accounts for the smell.

I no longer take beer advice from you, Mr. Celebration Ale. The only celebration in my household involving that beverage occurred when we passed the last one off to some unsuspecting guest.

Are you saying that you drink them so fast that a FIFO approach is abandoned upon your willy nilly whim of what you have a taste for each time you open the fridge?

FIFO? Are you saying that you're such a joyless drone that you have to drink the last bottle of Killian's Red from the sixpack you bought last week before you let yourself crack a Corona Light or whatever the hell else it is you drink from the sixpack you bought this week? Willy? Nilly?

P.S. Bottom line -- Ariel is a fish. Snow White and Cinderella are basically asexual, and Princess Aurora (SB) is a bit too stiff -- maybe the many years of slumber, but you know she's not naughty in bed. Belle is quite cute, but she's apparently into stuff I ain't, IYKWIMAITYD. So Jasmine almost wins by default.

I sort of dig the girl with the pink bob on LazyTown.....a real life cartoon if you will.....is she of a certain age?
