But a hipster is not necessarially a "doofus." One must be guilty of both failings to earn that title.

It's an American Pale Ale, not an IPA. It might contain a lot of hops, but it doesn't taste nearly as hoppy as many of the hop bombed beers.

And just because this country has gone hop crazy doesn't mean there aren't some places who do it right.

No opinion on that, but side boob is the best boob.

Any boobs that still have under boob are good boobs.

We are social animals and what we do impacts others. Maybe people in Less's hypothetical think that the reasons for their decision trumps the pain such a decision will cause others, but that doesn't change the fact that (almost all of the time) there will be pain.

You folks do realize that the reason they make different beers is because sometimes one thing is better than another, and sometimes not -- right? This is like an argument about whether red wine is better than white.

Calvin Trillin, who was writing about food when Anthony Bourdain and Rick Bayless were barely off their momma's tit, had a view of wine that almost exactly matches mine. He noted once how he was one of those people who were always mystified when another diner started talking about tannins and notes of oak. He then offered that in the Italian restaurants he liked the most, the waiters resolved the wine question by asking "you wan' raid or why-ite?"

I like a few particular wines, like a Montepulciano from Castello Banfi ( I can't pay more than $75 for a bottle, sorry, I just can't do it) or a really good chardonnay. But, I usually just say "red."
