It was a "very sophisticated" operation, according to the press, though the guys were stupid not to realize that someone was going to pick up on that spike in electricity. They'd boarded up the house, and tried to hide what they were doing in there. I used to walk by with my dogs almost every night, and occassionaly, I'd try to peek through the boards to see what was going on there (my neighborhood has very, very few boarded up houses). When I found out later that it had been under surveillance for a few weeks before the bust, I got a little nervous that someone would think I was involved, because of assumptions about women whose dogs have dreadlocks down to the ground. So far, no narc cops have busted through my door, though.

this is a good point. dtb. are your neighbors slutty? you get a couple of these women blowing the meter readers to cut their readings down, and the meter reader has to bill the electricity somewhere. maybe its just that simple. next time he comes by check his jeans for stains.

My bill is over $300, and I know it is because of the crapped-out fridge in the basement that is always running when I go down to get a beer out of it. But I can't get rid if it - it's the beer fridge. It has nothing but beer in it. My beer. Nothing else.

The beer fridge means more to me than mere money.

Your problem is bottles. You need to put a keg in that fridge. And run the tap through the door. No more opening the fridge multiple times per day, leading to much energy savings. Also, much less packaging waste. It's the green thing to do.

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.

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.

Fine. Stick to your fruity Belgian beers with their hints of clove and banana. More extra-hoppy goodness for me.

I don't fully get this current fad that if your beer is super-extra-hoppy, and has a dangerous name like "Super Hop Devil Ball Crusher Hop Bastard," you are a real fucking motherfucking fucking stud of a motherfucking dude man. But I do like hoppy beers, and concur on the Celebration. It is not my favorite winter (Sam Smith's), but it's good.

Sebastian, poor predictable Sebastian, poor silly I-read-Fear-and-Loathing-fifteen-too-many-times Sebastian unsurprisingly goes for the metric of dick length being proportional to your beer's alcohol content. But I like the strong beers too. So I guess I am not sure what the point of this post is. Sometimes I just like to type things because I find the clicky-clack, clicky-clack of the keys on my keyboard to be pleasing to the ear and soothing to the soul.
