Anything Goes 21: Sears Tower has a big cap hit

[MurrayBannerman]

It's cheap and tasty.

It's a shame that half of the conversations in here are about alcohol; it leaves me sitting firmly outside the realm of discussion in this thread.

Good thing about being old is that I have money to buy whatever I want and don't have to buy cheap alcohol

Not old enough or just not a partaker?

Yuengling makes this ****** beer choice quite easy.

It's a damn good beer. Had quite a few in North Carolina this past weekend.

I don't understand the infatuation with Yuengling.

Don't know what to say, but I love it. Honestly might very well be my favorite non-wheat beer brew. Damn shame that there aren't any distributors in Illinois.... c'mon, Wirtz family! Get on that!

 

[x Tame Impala]

I literally had nothing else on me and I wasnt about to make a run to get something because I had already wasted enough time. I honestly probably coulda done it without a chaser, Bacardi Mango is pretty damn easy to take.

Hey man no need to answer for your boozing choices. You're in college, now's the time where you learn what you like. Hell, when I was 21 I thought Jack n Coke's and Blue Moon were the end all be all of booze and beer and now I wouldn't touch the stuff lol.

What you like changes the more you do something. Just don't drink the fruity stuff, otherwise you deserve to be made fun of

It's far from the greatest beer ever, but it's the best value in domestic macros. Name a better beer in the 24pk for $14.99 price range.

Damn shame that there aren't any distributors in Illinois.... c'mon, Wirtz family! Get on that!

Its restriction to east of the Ohio River due to supply, not because distributors here don't want it.

Figured it was something along those lines, but c'mon Wirtz's! Still do it!

I can agree with that IU, but Shogun's opinion on the stuff isn't the first time I've heard somebody talk about the stuff like it's ambrosia.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Technically, it's nectar. Ambrosia is the food of the gods.

Mythology snobbery!

That being said, I'd have to give it some thought. My favorite beers are Hoegaarden and Weihenstephaner, and I tend to draw more to wheat beers anyway, so if I sat and thought about it for a while I'm sure I could think another traditional lager that I like more than Yuengling, too. Rare for me plus had them recently though, so it's standing out in my head.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Ambrosia is very closely related to the gods' other form of sustenance, nectar. The two terms may not have originally been distinguished;[5] though in Homer's poems nectar is usually the drink and ambrosia the food of the gods; it was with ambrosia Hera "cleansed all defilement from her lovely flesh",[6] and with ambrosia Athena prepared Penelope in her sleep,[7] so that when she appeared for the final time before her suitors, the effects of years had been stripped away, and they were inflamed with passion at the sight of her. On the other hand, in Alcman,[8] nectar is the food, and in Sappho[9] and Anaxandrides, ambrosia is the drink.[10] When a character in Aristophanes' Knights says, "I dreamed the goddess poured ambrosia over your head—out of a ladle," the homely and realistic ladle brings the ineffable moment to ground with a thump. Both descriptions, however, could be correct as Ambrosia could be a liquid that is considered a meal (much like how soup is labeled the same).

I am looking forward to those days for sure.

Not old enough but it doesn't appeal to me anyway.

It never did to me either. Literally never drank til I was 21 and in College. Thought before then it was stupid and there was literally no benefit to drinking and that it was stupid. Never say never I guess.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I wouldn't say there is even a "benefit" to it right now, but man it leads to some good times. It can also lead to bad times, like people getting pissed off and terrible hangovers.

 

[Nothingman*]

I usually drink to socialize with friends. Not to binge. If I get drunk it is totally because we were having a good time and just drank a bit too much. Not the other way around.

 

[Illinihockey]

Anyone watching wrestlemania tonight?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Nope, haven't really followed pro wrestling for a solid twenty years. That being said, I am a fan of The Mark Remark on YouTube.

Also, dealing with a damn cold. Gonna be a fun week....

 

[x Tame Impala]

Haven't watched wrestling in 10ish years. I remember watching PPV's on my scrambled TV as a little kid

 

[Any Colour You Like]

I remember watching Smackdown in my dad's apartment, but haven't watched a second of wrestling since then.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

A couple of buddies of mine are really into it. He's put it on a few times when I've been over at his house, still can't get over how anyone could watch it.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

WCW was still a thing the last time I watched wrestling.

 

[JaegerDice]

I watched Wresltemania with a ton of buddies today.

Missed the game (and the win!) for it, but it was worth it. Tons of fun. Great matches, crazy endings.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I wonder how that happens.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Wrestling was great when I was like 8. Now? Not so much...
